Section 701.150.1. Purpose and general application of offset of a federal tax overpayment to collect an Iowa income tax obligation.

Effective for refunds of overpayments to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that are payable beginning January 1, 2000, the IRS may offset, in whole or in part, an amount of federal refund payable to an Iowa resident by the amount of any past due legally enforceable Iowa income tax obligation owed by such taxpayer. The purpose of this chapter is to establish a procedure to identify taxpayers that owe Iowa income tax liabilities and to establish a procedure for requesting the offset of the taxpayer’s federal tax overpayment to collect a past due legally enforceable Iowa income tax obligation.
