Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 6, September 18, 2024
(1) The authority will develop a standardized application pertaining to the authorization and distribution of tax credits. The application will request information relating to the taxpayer's eligibility for the federal credit, the proportion of the federal credit attributable to expenditures made by the taxpayer in Iowa as calculated pursuant to subrule 57.2(2), and any other information required by the authority. The certified public accountant (CPA) examination conducted pursuant to rule 261-57.4 (237A) shall be submitted with the application.
(2) A taxpayer shall submit an application for the credit within 90 calendar days of the end of the tax year during which qualified child care expenditures and qualified child care resource and referral expenditures are paid or incurred.
(3) The authority shall issue tax credit certificates in the order the applications are determined complete and qualified until the maximum aggregate amount of tax credits that may be authorized pursuant to Iowa Code section 237A.31(3) "a" is reached. Applications for tax credits received in excess of the maximum aggregate amount of tax credits available each fiscal year will be denied by the authority. An application that can be partially approved without exceeding the maximum aggregate amount of tax credits may be approved as to the portion less than the maximum amount and denied as to the portion greater than the maximum amount.
(4) The authority will issue a tax credit certificate to an approved taxpayer in an amount that represents the maximum amount of tax credit the taxpayer may claim. To receive the tax credit, the taxpayer shall file a claim with the department in accordance with any applicable administrative rules adopted by the department. An approved taxpayer's tax credit may be subject to reduction in such circumstances described by any applicable rules adopted by the department.
