“Governor Reynolds’ tax reform proposal delivers immediate and meaningful relief to middle class Iowans. We appreciate that her plan leaves more money in the pockets of hard-working Iowans while also including safeguards that protect the sustainability of the budget.
House Republicans are ready to work with Governor Reynolds to reform Iowa’s outdated and complex tax code. We look forward to making it simpler, fairer, and more competitive for all Iowans.”

“We’re really encouraged by what we’ve seen so far, and this is a great first step. Taxes are a big concern for small businesses.

—National Federation of Independent Business State Director Matt Everson
“We agree with many of the Governor’s stated objectives and believe this plan would improve several aspects of the Iowa tax code. We look forward to digging into the details, especially surrounding federal deductibility, talking with our members, and working with the Governor, Lt. Governor, and legislators to deliver tax relief for all Iowans.”
—Iowans For Tax Relief President Chris Ingstad
