To provide financial assistance to small businesses economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Iowa Department of Revenue is allowing for deferrals of sales tax and withholding tax in certain circumstances, including providing for a suspension of penalty and interest. Beginning May 1, 2020, the Department is now accepting applications for 30-day extensions for eligible businesses for sales tax and withholding tax payments for tax periods beginning April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020. Each completed application received will be reviewed.
Only sales tax or withholding tax permits that are in good standing with the Iowa Department of Revenue regarding filing and payment will be considered for relief.

If a request for tax deferral is granted, taxpayers are still expected to file their quarterly tax return by the original due date. However, they will be given 30 days to pay the balance due for the applicable taxes. Penalties and interest would be suspended for the first 30 days following the original due date. Penalties will be assessed and interest would begin to accrue 31 days following the original due date.
Tax deferral applied for: Check one or both.
