(Radio Iowa) – Senior citizens in Iowa are in line for a new tax break.
Stacy Engle, a spokeswoman for the Internal Revenue Service, says Iowans who are 65 years old and older can claim an extra deduction this year — and each year through 2028. The new bonus is in addition to the normal senior standard deduction, bringing eligible individuals another six-thousand dollars, and for a married couple, if both over 65, an additional 12-thousand dollars.
The new deduction was part of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill that passed Congress in July.
