Iowa Employer Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Iowa Employer Kit 2027, 2027 Payroll Rate Change, 2027 Payroll Tax Setup)

Who it is for

Owners and bookkeepers running payroll for employees in Iowa, from 2027 rate changes to unemployment tax setup.

Not the right fit if

Your employees don't work in Iowa, or a payroll provider already handles these filings for you. Not a payroll service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Iowa kits are built only from our Iowa data files: Iowa data files, checked November 2026 against 20 official pages, among them Iowa Workforce Development: Employer Resources (UI Employer Handbook); Iowa Workforce Development: Tax topic page (September 2, 2026 announcement); Official page; Iowa Department of Revenue: Form 44-016, Employee's Statement of Nonresidence in Iowa (10/3/2024); Iowa Child Support: New Hires FAQ; Iowa Workforce Development: Employer and Workplace Posters; Iowa Code 364.3: limitation of powers (cities); U.S. Department of Labor: State Minimum Wage Laws (updated November 5, 2026), plus Paycor (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read.
• 2027 Payroll Rate Change Checklist and 2027 Payroll Tax Setup Checklist cover every state; the Iowa kits carry the state rules.
