EXAMPLE. The following example is based on the following facts. The taxpayers are a husband and wife who have two dependent children. Their income consists of husband's wages of $50,000; rental loss ($5,000); wife's S corporation income of $500,000; joint interest income of $35,000. They have Iowa itemized deductions of $20,000, and an out-ofstate tax credit of $1,150 on the S corporation income. The actual cash distribution from the S corporation was $289,840, none of which has been previously taxed by Iowa. Federal income tax paid during the year totals $191,214. The S corporation is a value-added corporation which carries on business within and without Iowa with 10 percent of its sales in Iowa.

Add the greater of cash distributions not previously taxed, $289,840 less 100% of federal taxes on S corporation income of $164,840 = $125,000, or income attributable to Iowa sources $50,000 | 125,000 |

Computation of 100 percent of federal income tax attributable to S corporation income: $191,214 × $500,000 / $580,000 = $164,840.
Computation of percent of income attributable to Iowa sources: 100 × $205,000 / $580,000 = 35.3449%.
Computation of percent of income attributable to non-Iowa sources: 100 - 35.3449% = 64.6551%.

Taxpayer's computation of 100 percent of federal income tax attributable to S corporation income: $170,601 × $500,000 / $517,500 = $164,832.
Taxpayer's computation of percent of income attributable to Iowa sources: 100 × $142,500 / $517,500 = 27.5362%.
Taxpayer's computation of percent of income attributable to non-Iowa sources: 100 - 27.5362% = 72.4638%.
