B. Get Your Iowa Tax ID Number and Or Other State Required Documentation
Have your Federal Tax ID Number (EIN) handy; most states require it on their state tax ID number forms and other forms that you may need to complete after you incorporate a business in Iowa.
1. Iowa Tax ID Number
Once you have your Federal Tax ID Number (EIN), you will need to file the Iowa Business Tax Registration Form. You can download the form at http://www.state.ia.us/tax/forms/78005.pdf.
This form will provide you with a State Tax ID Number and determine your state tax obligations with the Department of Revenue and Finance. If you have questions about the form, contact your tax advisor or the Department of Revenue and Finance at 800-367-3388.
2. Biannual Reports
Your business entity will be required to file a biannual report every other calendar year with the Secretary of State.
The reports are due between January 1st and April 1st of the first even-numbered year following the calendar year in which your entity was formed.
The Secretary of State will send you official notice to your address on the Articles.
For more information, contact the Secretary of State’s office at 515-281-5204 or log on to www.sos.state.ia.us . You may file this biannual report on line.
