The Iowa Chamber Alliance has released its priorities for the upcoming legislative session.  Tax reform is one of the key issues, and I-C-A executive director John Stineman says if federal lawmakers pass tax cuts, then state lawmakers have to act to get rid of Iowan’s ability to deduct their federal taxes from their state returns.

 

Stineman says the federal tax reform package may end up having some benefit for Iowa businesses.

 

The I-C-A priorities say tax reform should be geared toward making Iowa more competitive. The group also says programs, tax credits and incentives should be focused toward spurring growth.
