INDIVIDUAL INCOME, CORPORATE, AND FRANCHISE TAXES, §422.37
422.37 Consolidated returns.
Any affiliated group of corporations may, not later than the due date for filing its return
for the taxable year, including any extensions thereof, under rules to be prescribed by the
director, elect, and upon demand of the director shall be required, to make a consolidated
return showing the consolidated net income of all such corporations and other information
as the director may require, subject to the following:
1. The affiliated group filing under this section shall file a consolidated return for federal
income tax purposes for the same taxable year.
2. All members of the affiliated group shall join in the filing of an Iowa consolidated return
to the extent they are subject to the tax imposed by section 422.33, except as otherwise
provided in section 29C.24.
3. Members of the affiliated group exempt from taxation by section 422.34 of the Code
shall not be included in a consolidated return.
4. All members of the affiliated group shall use the statutory method of allocation and
apportionment unless the director has granted permission to all members to use an alternative
method of allocation and apportionment.
5. Each member of the affiliated group shall consent to the rules governing a consolidated
return prescribed by the director at the time the consolidated return is filed, unless the
director requires the filing of a consolidated return. The filing of a consolidated return shall
be considered the affiliated group’s consent.
6. The filing of a consolidated return for any taxable year shall require the filing of
consolidated returns for all subsequent taxable years so long as the filing taxpayers remain
members of the affiliated group unless the director determines that the filing of separate
returns will more clearly disclose the taxable incomes of each member of the affiliated
group. This determination shall be made after specific request by the taxpayer for the filing
of separate returns.
7. The computation of consolidated taxable income for the members of an affiliated
group of corporations subject to tax shall be made in the same manner and under the same
procedures, including all intercompany adjustments and eliminations, as are required for
consolidating the incomes of affiliated corporations for the taxable year for federal income
tax purposes in accordance with section 1502 of the Internal Revenue Code.
