                                       BY JONES (9)
               Requested by: Idaho Society of Certified Public Accountants

 1                                        AN ACT
 2    RELATING TO INCOME TAX CREDITS FOR INCOME TAXES PAID ANOTHER  STATE;  AMENDING
 3        SECTION  63-3029,  IDAHO  CODE, TO CLARIFY CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH AN IDAHO
 4        TAXPAYER IS ENTITLED TO AN IDAHO INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR INCOME  TAXES  PAID
 5        TO OTHER STATES; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING RETROACTIVE APPLICA-
 6        TION.

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

 8        SECTION  1.  That  Section 63-3029, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 9    amended to read as follows:

10        63-3029.  CREDIT FOR INCOME TAXES PAID ANOTHER STATE    OR  TERRITORY
11    .   (a) Whenever a resident individual has become liable for income
12    tax to another state upon his taxable income,  or  any  part  thereof,  earned
13    while  domiciled  in  this state, which income is derived from sources without
14    this state and subject to taxation under this chapter, the  amount  of  income
15    tax payable by him under this chapter shall be credited with the income tax so
16    payable  by  him  to such other state or territory, and shall also be credited
17    with the income tax, or any franchise or excise tax measured by  income,  pay-
18    able  to  such other state or territory by a subchapter S corporation of which
19    the individual is a shareholder (to the extent of the  individual's  pro  rata
20    share  of  the  ownership of the subchapter S corporation, as allocated in the
21    case of partial year ownership on the same basis as allocated pursuant to  the
22    Internal  Revenue  Code).  "Income  tax  to another state" includes only a tax
23    imposed by one of the United States, a possession  of  the  United  States,  a
24    political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or by the District of Columbia.
25    The  credit  granted  shall  be  limited to the proportion of the tax computed
26    under this chapter, but  before  the  allowance  of  this  credit,  which  the
27    adjusted  gross  income  from  such  other  state  or territory bears to total
28    adjusted gross income; provided, however, that such credit  shall  not  be  in
29    excess  of  the  actual  tax payable to such other state or territory and that
30    such adjusted gross income shall reflect additions and  subtractions  required
31    by this act.   (1)  A resident individual shall be allowed a credit
32    against  the tax otherwise due under this chapter for the amount of any income
33    tax imposed on the individual, an S corporation, partnership, limited  liabil-
34    ity  company, or trust of which the individual is a shareholder, partner, mem-
35    ber, or beneficiary (to the extent attributable to the individual as a  result
36    of  the individual's share of the S corporation's, partnership's, limited lia-
37    bility company's or trust's taxable income in another state), for the  taxable
38    year  by  another state on income derived from sources therein while domiciled
39    in Idaho and that is also subject to tax under this chapter.
40        (2)  For purposes of this section, "state" shall include any state of  the
41    United States, the District of Columbia, or any possession or territory of the
42    United States.
43        (3)  The  credit  provided under this section shall not exceed the propor-


                                          2

 1    tion of the tax otherwise due under  this  chapter  that  the  amount  of  the
 2    adjusted  gross income of the taxpayer derived from sources in the other state
 3    as modified by this chapter bears to the adjusted gross income of the taxpayer
 4    as modified by this  chapter.  This  limitation  applies  to  all  individuals
 5    whether  the  tax paid to the other state is paid by the individual or by an S
 6    corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or  trust.  Further,  the
 7    credit shall not exceed the tax paid to the other state.
 8        (4)  To  substantiate the credit allowed under this section, the state tax
 9    commission may require a copy of any receipt showing payment of  income  taxes
10    to  the  other  state or a copy of any return or returns filed with such other
11    state, or both.
12        (5)  No credit allowed under this section shall be applied in  calculating
13    tax  due under this chapter if the tax upon which the credit is based has been
14    claimed as a deduction, unless the tax is restored  to  income  on  the  Idaho
15    return. 
16        (  b    6 )  The credit shall not be allowed if such
17    other state allows a credit against taxes imposed by such state for taxes paid
18    or payable under this act.
19         (c)  To substantiate the credit  allowed  under  this  section,  the
20    state  tax  commission  may  require  a copy of any receipt showing payment of
21    income taxes to another state or a copy of any return or  returns  filed  with
22    such other state or territory, or both. 
23         (7)  For purposes of this section an income tax imposed on an S cor-
24    poration, partnership, limited liability company, or trust includes:
25        (a)  A  direct  tax  imposed upon the income for the taxable year of the S
26        corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust; and
27        (b)  An excise or franchise tax that is measured by  the  income  for  the
28        taxable year of the S corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
29        or trust.
30        (8)  For  purposes  of  subsection (7) of this section, an excise or fran-
31    chise tax is "measured by income" only if the statute imposing the  excise  or
32    franchise tax provides that the base for the tax:
33        (a)  Includes:
34             (i)   Revenue from sales;
35             (ii)  Revenue from services rendered; and
36             (iii) Income from investments; and
37        (b)  Permits  a  deduction for the cost of goods sold and the cost of ser-
38        vices rendered. 
39        ( d  9 )  A part-year  resident  is  entitled  to  a
40    credit,  determined  in the manner prescribed by the state tax commission, for
41    income taxes paid to another state , as defined in subsection (a) of this
42    section,  in regard to income which is:
43        ( 1  a )  Earned while the taxpayer is domiciled  in
44        this state; and
45        ( 2  b )  Subject to tax in such other state.
46          (10)  If  the interest in an S corporation, partnership, or limited
47    liability company was held for less than the entire taxable  year,  the  share
48    attributable  to  the  individual shall be allocated in the same manner as for
49    federal purposes. 

50        SECTION 2.  An emergency existing  therefor,  which  emergency  is  hereby
51    declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
52    passage and approval, and retroactively to January 1, 1998.

                           STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                 RS 07408
                                     
    
    This legislation clarifies the circumstances in which an Idaho taxpayer is entitled to an Idaho income tax 
    credit for income taxes paid to other states. Currently such credits are afforded to individuals and 
    Subchapter S corporations. This legislation provides the identical tax treatment to partnerships, limited 
    liability companies and trusts which, to be consistent, ought to be treated the same as individuals and 
    Subchapter S corporations. This legislation makes no other substantive changes but merely clarifies 
    existing law.
    
                                FISCAL NOTE
    
    Idaho income tax receipts will be reduced by approximately $25,O00 due primarily to the inclusion of 
    limited liability companies. LLC's are relatively new and are being used increasingly instead of 
    Subchapter S corporations. In most respects LLC's and Subchapter S corporations are treated the same 
    for tax purposes. Correcting this inconsistency will afford the credit to taxpayers who
    
                  do not now receive it.
