                                    HOUSE BILL NO. 484

                            BY REVENUE AND TAXATION COMMITTEE

 1                                        AN ACT
 2    RELATING TO INCOME TAXES; AMENDING SECTION 63-3022, IDAHO CODE, TO DELETE PRO-
 3        VISIONS RELATING TO DEDUCTIONS FOR  CONTRIBUTIONS  TO  MEDICAL  ASSISTANCE
 4        ACCOUNTS  AND  PERSONAL  HEALTH CARE SERVICES; REPEALING SECTIONS 63-3022F
 5        AND 63-3089, IDAHO CODE; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING  A  RETROAC-
 6        TIVE EFFECTIVE DATE.

 7    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

 8        SECTION  1.  That  Section 63-3022, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 9    amended to read as follows:

10        63-3022.  ADJUSTMENTS TO TAXABLE INCOME. The  additions  and  subtractions
11    set  forth  in  this section, and in sections 63-3022A through 63-3022L, Idaho
12    Code, are to be applied to the  extent  allowed  in  computing  Idaho  taxable
13    income:
14        (a)  Add  interest  and  dividends  received or accrued during the taxable
15    year from foreign securities and from securities issued by  states  and  other
16    political  subdivisions,  other  than  those issued by the state of Idaho, its
17    cities and political subdivisions, exempt from federal income  tax  under  the
18    Internal Revenue Code, less applicable amortization.
19        (1)  In the case of a corporation whose income is taxable under this chap-
20        ter,  no  deduction shall be allowed for interest on indebtedness incurred
21        or continued to purchase after January 1, 1983, or  to  carry  obligations
22        acquired  after  January  1,  1983, the interest of which is wholly exempt
23        from the taxes imposed under this  chapter.  The  amount  of  interest  on
24        indebtedness thus incurred or continued shall be an amount which bears the
25        same ratio to the aggregate amount allowable (determined without regard to
26        this  section) to the taxpayer as a deduction for interest for the taxable
27        year as the taxpayer's average adjusted basis of the obligations mentioned
28        in the preceding sentence bears to such average  adjusted  basis  for  all
29        assets of the taxpayer, or, at the option of the taxpayer, an amount which
30        bears the same ratio to the aggregate amount allowable (determined without
31        regard  to  this  section) to the taxpayer as a deduction for interest for
32        the taxable year as the taxpayer's interest income  from  the  obligations
33        mentioned  in  the preceding sentence bears to the taxpayer's total income
34        for the taxable year.
35        (2)  In the case of a corporation whose Idaho taxable income  is  computed
36        pursuant  to section 63-3027, Idaho Code, the interest expense  deductible
37        shall be an amount equal  to  interest  and  dividend  income  subject  to
38        apportionment,  plus  the amount, if any, by which the balance of interest
39        expense exceeds interest and dividend income not subject to apportionment.
40        Interest expense not included in the preceding sentence shall be  directly
41        offset  against interest and dividend income not subject to apportionment.
42        This provision shall not apply to dividend  income  excluded  pursuant  to
43        section 63-3027C(c) and (e), Idaho Code.


                                          2

 1        (b)  Add  any  state taxes, measured by net income, paid or accrued during
 2    the taxable year adjusted for state tax refunds used in  arriving  at  taxable
 3    income.
 4        (c)  Add  the  net  operating  loss  deduction used in arriving at taxable
 5    income.
 6        (d)  (1) A net operating loss for any taxable year commencing on and after
 7        January 1, 1990, shall be a net operating loss carryback not to  exceed  a
 8        total  of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to the three (3) immedi-
 9        ately preceding taxable  years. Any portion of the net operating loss  not
10        subtracted  in the three (3) preceding years may be subtracted in the next
11        fifteen (15) years succeeding the taxable year in which the loss arises in
12        order until exhausted. The sum of the deductions may not exceed the amount
13        of the net operating loss deduction incurred. At the election of the  tax-
14        payer,  the  three  (3)  year  carryback may be foregone and the loss sub-
15        tracted from income received in taxable years arising in the next  fifteen
16        (15)  years  succeeding the taxable year in which the loss arises in order
17        until exhausted. The election shall be made as under section 172(b)(3)  of
18        the  Internal  Revenue  Code. An election under this subsection must be in
19        the manner prescribed in the rules of the state tax  commission  and  once
20        made is irrevocable for the year in which it is made. The term "income" as
21        used  in this subsection (d) means Idaho taxable income as defined in this
22        chapter as modified by section 63-3021(b)(2), (3) and (4), Idaho Code.
23        (2)  Net operating losses incurred by a corporation during a year in which
24        such corporation did not transact business in Idaho may not be subtracted.
25        Net operating losses incurred by a person, other than  a  corporation,  in
26        business activities not taxable by Idaho may not be subtracted.
27        (e)  In  the case of a corporation, add the amount deducted under the pro-
28    visions of sections 243(a) and (c), 244, 245 and 246A of the Internal  Revenue
29    Code  (relating  to  dividends received by corporations) as limited by section
30    246(b)(1) of said code.
31        (f)  In the case of a corporation, subtract  an  amount  determined  under
32    section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxable as dividends.
33        (g)  Subtract the amount of any income received or accrued during the tax-
34    able year which is exempt from taxation by this state, under the provisions of
35    any  other  law of this state or a law of the United States, if not previously
36    subtracted in arriving at taxable income.
37        (h)  In the case of  corporations  and  partnerships,  add  Idaho  taxable
38    income  of  nonresident officers, directors, shareholders, partners or members
39    to the extent such income is attributed to the corporation or  partnership  in
40    section 63-3022L, Idaho Code.
41        (i)  For  the purpose of determining the Idaho taxable income of the bene-
42    ficiary of a trust or of an estate, distributable net income  as  defined  for
43    federal  tax purposes shall be corrected for the other adjustments required by
44    this section. In the event that a nonresident beneficiary of a trust or estate
45    fails to file an Idaho income tax return reporting all or any part of distrib-
46    utable net income taxable in Idaho or fails to pay any tax  due  thereon,  the
47    trust  or  estate making the payment or distribution shall be taxable upon the
48    amount  of such distribution or payment at the rates  established  by  section
49    63-3024, Idaho Code.
50        (j)  In  the  case  of  an individual who is on active duty as a full-time
51    officer, enlistee or draftee, with the armed  forces  of  the  United  States,
52    which  full-time  duty is or will be continuous and uninterrupted for one hun-
53    dred twenty (120) consecutive days or more, deduct compensation  paid  by  the
54    armed  forces  of the United States for services performed outside this state.
55    The deduction is allowed only to the extent such income is included in taxable


                                          3

 1    income, and provided that appropriate adjustments shall be made in determining
 2    the deductions and exemptions allowed pursuant to section  63-3026A(4),  Idaho
 3    Code.
 4        (k)  In  the  case  of  a corporation, add any capital loss deducted which
 5    loss was incurred during any year in which such corporation did  not  transact
 6    business  in  Idaho.  In the case of persons, other than corporations, add any
 7    capital loss deducted which was incurred in business activities not taxable by
 8    Idaho at the time such loss was incurred. In computing the income  taxable  to
 9    an  S  corporation  or  partnership under this section, deduction shall not be
10    allowed for a carryover or carryback of a net operating loss provided  for  in
11    subsection  (d) of this section or a capital loss provided for in section 1212
12    of the Internal Revenue Code.
13        (l)  In the case of an individual, there shall be allowed as  a  deduction
14    from gross income either (1) or (2) at the option of the taxpayer:
15        (1)    a.    The  standard  deduction as defined in section 63,
16             Internal Revenue Code , plus contributions made to the state  of
17             Idaho for credit to the medical assistance account, if such contribu-
18             tions  were  not previously subtracted in arriving at taxable income,
19             plus
20             b.  Itemized expenditures of  not  to  exceed  one  thousand  dollars
21             ($1,000)  per  cared  for  member incurred in providing personal care
22             services to or for an immediate member of the taxpayer's family; such
