6 the taxable year adjusted for state tax refunds used in arriving at taxable

12 exceed a total of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to the two (2)
13 immediately preceding taxable years. Any portion of the net operating loss
14 not subtracted in the two (2) preceding years may be subtracted in the
15 next twenty (20) years succeeding the taxable year in which the loss
16 arises in order until exhausted. The sum of the deductions may not exceed
17 the amount of the net operating loss deduction incurred. At the election
18 of the taxpayer, the two (2) year carryback may be foregone and the loss
19 subtracted from income received in taxable years arising in the next
20 twenty (20) years succeeding the taxable year in which the loss arises in
21 order until exhausted. The election shall be made as under section

32 tion within a group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of sec-
33 tion 63-3027, Idaho Code, was transacting business in Idaho during the
34 taxable year in which the loss was incurred, then the net operating loss
35 may be subtracted. Net operating losses incurred by a person, other than a
36 corporation, in business activities not taxable by Idaho may not be sub-
37 tracted.

39 visions of sections 243(a) and (c), 244, 245 and 246A of the Internal Revenue

4
1 fails to file an Idaho income tax return reporting all or any part of distrib-
2 utable net income taxable in Idaho or fails to pay any tax due thereon, the
3 trust or estate making the payment or distribution shall be taxable upon the
4 amount of such distribution or payment at the rates established by section
5 63-3024, Idaho Code.
6 (ih) In the case of an individual who is on active duty as a full-time
7 officer, enlistee or draftee, with the armed forces of the United States,
8 which full-time duty is or will be continuous and uninterrupted for one hun-

13 the deductions and exemptions allowed pursuant to section 63-3026A(4), Idaho
14 Code.

20 in a group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of section 63-3027,
21 Idaho Code, was transacting business in Idaho during the taxable year in which
22 the loss was incurred. In the case of persons, other than corporations, add
23 any capital loss deducted which was incurred in business activities not tax-
24 able by Idaho at the time such loss was incurred. In computing the income tax-
25 able to an S corporation or partnership under this section, deduction shall
26 not be allowed for a carryover or carryback of a net operating loss provided
27 for in subsection (c) of this section or a capital loss provided for in sec-
28 tion 1212 of the Internal Revenue Code.

27 interest income received by a partner or shareholder of a partnership
28 or S corporation from such partnership or S corporation shall consti-
29 tute income from sources within this state to the extent that the
30 partnership or S corporation is transacting business within this
31 state;

11 itemized deductions;

19 allowance in lieu of such deduction;

25 ervation shall be added if not otherwise included.
26 (5) An adjustment may be made to eliminate distortions in the amount of
27 net income attributable to a taxpayer's activities within the state of Idaho.
28 Such deductions shall be limited to circumstances involving itemized deduc-
29 tions as referred to in subsection (4) of this section and which reflect:
30 (a) A failure to reflect the net income or deduction after reimbursements
31 have been received; or
32 (b) A failure to reflect the net amount of mortgage interest income or
33 expense from activities within Idaho.
34 (6) For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2) of this section, deduc-
35 tions and adjustments allowed in computing the Idaho taxable income of nonres-
36 ident and part-year resident individuals, trusts and estates shall be pre-
37 scribed in the rules of the state tax commission. Such rules shall be based
38 upon:
39 (a) Whether or not the deduction or adjustment is related to the produc-
40 tion of income reportable to Idaho;
41 (b) Whether or not the deduction or adjustment is related to income
42 received, expenses paid, or events of tax consequence which occurred dur-
43 ing a portion of a taxable year that the taxpayer was domiciled in or
44 residing in Idaho; or
45 (c) Any other appropriate basis for making the adjustment. An
46 "appropriate basis" is one which the state tax commission finds is needed
47 to insure that the amount of Idaho taxable income is fairly and reasonably
48 related to a taxpayer's activities in this state.
49 SECTION 6. An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby
50 declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
51 passage and approval, and retroactively to January 1, 2000.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS09395C1
This bill clarifies the income tax statutes allowing pass-through
entities" (partnerships, S-corporations and limited liability
companies) to elect to pay the tax of certain individual partners,
shareholders, owners, officers, or directors on their behalf.
The bill extends the election to the beneficiaries of estates and
trusts. The bill also removes the requirement' that the
individual's income become part of the taxable income of the
entity, thereby eliminating the apparent effect of reducing any
unused net operating loss carryover the entity my have available
to it. This conforms to present State Tax Commission practice.
