FREQUENT QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS
Does the State of Iowa assign its own employer identification number?
The Federal employer identification number is used as part of the Iowa withholding number with
a 3-digit suffix added for Iowa registration. This means you need to get your Federal Employer
Identification Number before getting your Iowa number.
I need to register to withhold Iowa tax from employees’ wages, but have not yet received
my Federal employer identification number. What will my number be?
Complete the Iowa Business Tax Registration form on paper or online. Choose "applied for" in
the "Federal I.D. Number" blank. The Department will issue a temporary identification number.
Once you receive your Federal identification number, it is your responsibility to notify the
Department of that number so your file can be updated.
I began withholding from employees but failed to properly register first. Tax is due shortly.
What should I do?
Complete the application and return it as soon as possible. Applying online is your fastest way.
Send a check for the amount withheld for the period to Withholding Tax Processing, Iowa
Department of Revenue, PO Box 10411, Des Moines IA 50306-0411. Include an explanation
showing your correct name, address, the period covered by the remittance, and your Federal
Employers Identification Number. The Department will process your application and credit the
amount paid to your account.
The due date for remitting tax has arrived and I am paying by check instead of
electronically, but I do not have a voucher to submit the tax. Is tax still due?

number. Mail it to Withholding Tax Processing, Iowa Department of Revenue, PO Box 10411,
