To correct your return, please follow the steps below.
Use TurboTax to amend your state tax return.
Once the return is open, revisit the Iowa state tax interview and answer the question “Were you also claimed as a dependent on another person’s Iowa tax return?”
Based on your response, check the IA refund/balance due meter at the top of the screen.
If the IA meter shows a refund/balance due amount, then the return needs to be amended and you will need to complete the amend instructions..
If the IA meter does not show a change, then the return does not need to be amended and you can stop.
On the screen Reason for Amending Original Return, enter Reason Code 9. Then Continue.
On the About Your Iowa Amended Return screen, scroll down and enter 7 as the Line reference and “TO CORRECT THE LOW INCOME EXEMPTION” as the Reason.
Follow the instructions provided by TurboTax to print, sign and date the amended state tax return. The amended return will need to be mailed to the address provided with the instructions along with any balance due.
Save a copy of your amended state tax return for your records.
