In TaxSlayer Pro, if you're attempting to mark the Iowa Corporation Income Tax Return (Form IA 1120) for electronic filing and are told "Business Activity Ratio (BAR) must be completed for efile", you'll need to complete Schedule E. Iowa requires the BAR to be calculated to determine the amount of income being allocated to Iowa.
To compute the BAR in the IA 1120 return, from the IA 1120 Corporation Return menu select:
- Income Subject to Tax
- Iowa Percentage (Schedule E) - Complete as appropriate.
