Iowa requirements and review scope

Iowa Child Support Guidelines Worksheet and financial affidavits. Use Iowa Court Rules 9.5 and 9.14 to determine the amounts counted for each party.
Wages, dividends, interest, business earnings, and other countable income are added separately for each party. Enter each dollar once; do not repeat business profit as an owner distribution.
General asset balances, loan balances, and household spending are not collected in this support-calculation workflow. Enter countable earnings from assets. A separate court financial affidavit may require additional disclosures.
Business and rental deductions must be expenses allowed for support, which can differ from tax-return deductions. Do not deduct personal living expenses as business expenses.
This worksheet needs state-permitted tax and other deductions. Enter the guideline tax deduction, not take-home pay or every deduction shown on a pay stub. Automatic tax preparation is not provided.
Uses Iowa Court Rule 9.26 Schedule of Basic Support Obligations.
Area C uses parents’ combined adjusted net monthly income. Area A and Area B low-income adjustment calculations can require using only the noncustodial parent’s income and comparing two calculations, so this base module flags those as separate worksheet issues.
For combined adjusted net monthly income above $25,000, the basic support obligation is within court or agency discretion but may not be less than the $25,000 schedule amount.

The available formula is a limited base calculation. Full parity with every line of the official worksheet, custody arrangement, tax computation, credit, and discretionary adjustment has not been verified. Review the stated limitations and the official sources.
