Iowa Capital Gains Reality
Selling appreciated corn and soybean farmland land in Iowa? Here's the tax math.
Combined federal capital gains, depreciation recapture, and Iowa's state capital gains rate of Low flat rate (about 3.8 to 3.9%) can hand 30 to 40% of your gain to taxes.
Iowa now taxes income, including capital gains, at a low flat rate as it completes its move to a flat tax. Retired farmers who meet the state's requirements may qualify for a capital gains exclusion. Federal capital gains, NIIT, and depreciation recapture still apply on top, and can take a meaningful share of the gain depending on your bracket, depreciation history, and the type of gain.
A 1031 exchange into a Delaware Statutory Trust can defer all of that. Your proceeds buy a share of large, professionally managed real estate. The IRS waits. You get potential monthly income without the tenants, fences, or fuel bills.
