In her Condition of the State address, Gov. Reynolds proposed a comprehensive tax reform plan that calls for a 4% flat personal income tax by 2026, gradually reducing the corporate tax to 5.5%, and repealing state taxes on retirement income. These are ideas that would substantially improve Iowa’s economic outlook.
