Where Can I Find My Iowa IDR Number?

To automate your tax filings in Iowa, Kintsugi requires your Iowa IDR ID (or IDR number). This unique identifier is essential for connecting your business to the state’s reporting systems.

What is an IDR ID?

While you are likely familiar with your Social Security Number (SSN) or Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), the IDR ID is specific to the state of Iowa.

The IDR number or IDR ID is generated directly by the Iowa Department of Revenue. It acts as a unique "ID card" for any taxpayer or business entity within their system.

Beyond just identifying your account on tax returns, the IDR number is also used as a security credential to verify your identity when you first sign up for GovConnectIowa.

Where to Look for Your IDR ID

Your Iowa IDR ID is assigned as soon as your business permit registration is processed. You can locate it in the following places:

1. GovConnectIowa Account

If you have already registered for an online account, this is the most convenient method.

• Summary Tab: Log in to GovConnectIowa and check the Summary tab. Your current permit and account numbers are listed here.

• Electronic Correspondence: Click on View Letters to access digital copies of your official permit paperwork.

2. Iowa Permit or Account Letter

After you submit your business permit registration, the Department of Revenue mails (and uploads) an official permit letter.

• Details: This letter contains your specific account number, your IDR ID, and your filing and payment instructions.

• Placement: Look for the ID near the top of the page or within the account details header.

3. Recent Iowa DOR Correspondence

Check any recent notices or letters you have received from the Iowa Department of Revenue. Because the IDR ID is the primary way the state tracks your business, it is included on almost all official mail and tax notices.
