Tax Credits, Deductions & Exemptions Guidance

The Farm to Food Donation Tax Credit program provides a tax credit for farmers who donate self-produced food commodities to food banks and food pantries. The tax credit equals the lesser of $5,000 or 15% of the value of the commodities donated during the tax year for which the credit is claimed. Local food organizations must register with the Iowa Department of Revenue (Department) to be recognized as an authorized distributor of Farm to Food Tax Credit Donation Receipts. Without these authorized receipts, donors will not be able to claim their tax credit with the Department. In order to register with the Department, local food organizations are encouraged to utilize our online registration tool: Registration for Food Banks and Food Pantries. Registration questions may be addressed to foodbanksupport@iowa.gov
