The Iowa Department of Revenue has a new website, merging tax.iowa.gov and abd.iowa.gov into the new revenue.iowa.gov.
As the state’s revenue agency, the Iowa Department of Revenue supports businesses across all sectors. As part of the state’s government alignment initiative, Gov. Kim Reynolds directed the Iowa Department of Revenue to align with the Iowa Alcoholic Beverage Division and the Iowa Lottery Authority to become one agency.
According to a release, the goal of the statewide digital transformation initiative is to provide a consistent experience as Iowans navigate through their personal and business interactions with state-operated websites.
The new Iowa Department of Revenue site includes revamped navigation, consolidating the two website processes and topics. The homepage has been simplified, focused around customer feedback.
“I’m excited about the launch of the new website for the Iowa Department of Revenue, and I welcome people to explore it,” Iowa Department of Revenue director Mary Mosiman said. “Revenue.iowa.gov is designed to be user-friendly for anyone searching topics related to Iowa tax and alcohol administration, and will also link you to the Iowa Lottery. Since we generate revenue that supports state government and serves the public, this website is a great way to connect us.”
Designed with both government officials and members of the public in mind, the new website provides users with:
- A simple home page, with quick links to the department’s most-used applications and pages, upcoming events, and recent news.
- Combined navigation, organized by function such as tax filing and status checking, policy information, and key areas of the department, as well as topics such as taxes or permits and licensing.
- Updated tax guidance, with clearly presented information in a single location by tax types.
- Frequently asked questions, narrowed down by topic for easily filtering.
With the launch of the new website, users who have bookmarked previous pages related to revenue or alcoholic beverages may need to update frequently accessed pages.
