The Iowa Department of Revenue is in the third phase of a multiyear initiative aimed at modernizing and simplifying procedures for both individual taxpayers and businesses across the state. On Nov. 13, the state will add additional tax types and increase online service functionality through GovConnectIowa, Iowa’s secure online tax and licensing e-Services portal. Phase three includes new features for individual income tax, fiduciary and inheritance taxpayers to make payments and manage their accounts; administration of the State of Iowa Setoff Program; and expanded functionality for the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing. Here are some important dates to note:

  • Beginning Nov. 16, users of the site will be able to make a payment or create a payment plan for the amount owed related to motor vehicle use tax, cigarette/tobacco tax, drug tax stamp, environmental protection and elderly credit.
  • GovConnectIowa will be unavailable from 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8 until noon on Nov. 13.
