Iowa Reporting Specifics

Iowa generally enforces a 3-year dormancy period for most banking and investment properties, including savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit, and securities. This 3-year standard also applies to safe deposit box contents and life insurance proceeds.

However, holders must be attentive to accelerated timelines for specific obligations. Wages, utility deposits, and property resulting from business dissolution become reportable after just 1 year. Funds held by state courts have a 2-year dormancy period.

Iowa allows for an aggregate limit of $50. Items valued under this amount may be grouped together and reported as a lump sum without detailed owner information, simplifying the reporting process for smaller obligations.
