DES MOINES, IOWA (September 23, 2022) — The Iowa Department of Revenue and other state agencies are reminding new and existing users about upcoming changes to GovConnectIowa.

GovConnectIowa is the State of Iowa's user-friendly self-service portal to register or renew certain business licenses and permits, file tax returns and reports, make payments, and more. The second roll-out of this multi-year effort to simplify processes for Iowa tax-payers will occur on November 14, 2022. GovConnectIowa launched in November 2021.

This roll-out will add additional tax types, new licenses, and select tax credits; improve current functionality; and introduce additional state agency partners to GovConnectIowa.

* Tax-payers will be able to make payments and manage corporation, S corporation, partnership, and franchise tax accounts on GovConnectIowa.

* Tax-credit application and administration that currently occurs in CACTAS (Tax Credit Award, Claim, and Transfer Administration System) is moving to GovConnectIowa. This includes a number of tax credits from the Iowa Department of Revenue, the Iowa Utilities Board, and the Iowa Economic Development Authority.

* New licenses will be issued by the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division and Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals will be available.

* Licenses and permits currently available in GovConnectIowa will be updated. These include licenses issued by the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division, Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals, and Iowa Lottery Authority; as well as permits issued by the Iowa Department of Revenue.

* Access to corporate income tax in eFile and Pay, and some tax credits in CACTAS will be removed after October 31, 2022. Current users should download and save any historical information they wish to keep.
