701—12.2 (422,423) Remittances. The correct amount of tax collected and due shall accompany the forms prescribed by the department unless requirements for electronic transmission of remittances or deposits and related information specify otherwise. The name, address, and permit number of the sender and amount of tax for the quarterly remittance or a semimonthly or monthly deposit shall be stated unless requirements for electronic transmission of remittances or deposits and related information specify otherwise. Every return shall be signed and dated. Reporting forms and a self-addressed return envelope shall be furnished by the department to the taxpayer unless electronic transmission requirements apply; and, when feasible, the taxpayer shall use them when completing and mailing a return and remittance. All remittances shall be made payable to the Treasurer of the State of Iowa.
For tax periods starting on or after April 1, 1990, semimonthly deposits and quarterly remittances of taxpayers required to make semimonthly deposits shall be made electronically in a format and by means specified in the department. Deposit forms are not required to be filed when electronic transmission of deposits is done in the prescribed format by specified means. Quarterly returns shall be filed separately from the electronic transfer of remittances for taxpayers required to make semimonthly deposits. Deposits and remittances transmitted electronically are considered to have been made on the date that the deposit or remittance is added to the bank account designated by the treasurer of the state of Iowa. The filing of a return within the period prescribed by law and payment of the tax required to be shown thereon are simultaneous acts and if either condition is not met, a penalty shall be assessed.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 422.16, 422.51, 422.52, 423.6, 423.13 and 423.14.
