Household is defined in Iowa Administrative Code 281-20(1) as the number of people who reside together and who are related by birth, marriage, adoption, legal guardianship, or by placement in the home through a state agency.
“Household” includes parents, student applicants, and other children who share at least one parent by birth, by adoption, by a parent’s current marriage, or by placement in the home through a state agency.
A parent on military duty is considered to be residing in the household.
If “household” cannot be clearly determined through review of the submitted tax return, additional information may be requested to determine eligibility.
