 10        OR SAVINGS ACCOUNT ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO CHAPTER  54,  TITLE  33,  IDAHO
 11        CODE, SHALL BE ADDED TO TAXABLE INCOME AND TO MAKE A TECHNICAL CORRECTION;
 12        DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND PROVIDING RETROACTIVE APPLICATION.
                                                                        
 13    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
 14        SECTION  1.  That  Section 63-3022, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 15    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
 16        63-3022.  ADJUSTMENTS TO TAXABLE INCOME. The  additions  and  subtractions
 17    set  forth  in  this section, and in sections 63-3022A through 63-3022M, Idaho
 18    Code, are to be applied to the  extent  allowed  in  computing  Idaho  taxable
 19    income:
 20        (a)  Add  any  state taxes, measured by net income, paid or accrued during
 21    the taxable year adjusted for state tax refunds used in  arriving  at  taxable
 22    income.
 23        (b)  Add  the  net  operating  loss  deduction used in arriving at taxable
 24    income.
 25        (c)  (1) A net operating loss for any taxable year commencing on and after
 26        January 1, 2000, shall be a net operating loss carryback not to  exceed  a
 27        total  of  one  hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to the two (2) immedi-
 28        ately preceding taxable years. Any portion of the net operating  loss  not
 29        subtracted  in  the  two (2) preceding years may be subtracted in the next
 30        twenty (20) years succeeding the taxable year in which the loss arises  in
 31        order until exhausted. The sum of the deductions may not exceed the amount
 32        of  the net operating loss deduction incurred. At the election of the tax-
 33        payer, the two (2) year carryback may be foregone and the loss  subtracted
 34        from  income  received  in  taxable  years arising in the next twenty (20)
 35        years succeeding the taxable year in which the loss arises in order  until
 36        exhausted.  The  election  shall be made as under section 172(b)(3) of the
 37        Internal Revenue Code. An election under this subsection must  be  in  the
 38        manner  prescribed  in the rules of the state tax commission and once made
 39        is irrevocable for the year in which it is made. The term "income" as used
 40        in this subsection (c) means Idaho taxable income as defined in this chap-
 41        ter as modified by section 63-3021(b)(2), (3) and (4), Idaho Code.
 42        (2)  Net operating losses incurred by a corporation during a year in which
 43        such corporation did not transact business in Idaho or was not included in
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1        a group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of section  63-3027,
  2        Idaho  Code,  may not be subtracted. However, if at least one (1) corpora-
  3        tion within a group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of  sec-
  4        tion  63-3027,  Idaho  Code,  was transacting business in Idaho during the
  5        taxable year in which the loss was incurred, then the net  operating  loss
  6        may be subtracted. Net operating losses incurred by a person, other than a
  7        corporation,  in  business activities not taxable by Idaho may not be sub-
  8        tracted.
  9        (d)  In the case of a corporation, add the amount deducted under the  pro-
 10    visions  of sections 243(a) and (c), 244, 245 and 246A of the Internal Revenue
 11    Code  (relating  to  dividends received by corporations) as limited by section
 12    246(b)(1) of said code.
 13        (e)  In the case of a corporation, subtract  an  amount  determined  under
 14    section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxable as dividends.
 15        (f)  Subtract the amount of any income received or accrued during the tax-
 16    able year which is exempt from taxation by this state, under the provisions of
 17    any  other  law of this state or a law of the United States, if not previously
 18    subtracted in arriving at taxable income.
 19        (g)  For the purpose of determining the Idaho taxable income of the  bene-
 20    ficiary  of  a  trust or of an estate, distributable net income as defined for
 21    federal tax purposes shall be corrected for the other adjustments required  by
 22    this section. In the event that a nonresident beneficiary of a trust or estate
 23    fails to file an Idaho income tax return reporting all or any part of distrib-
 24    utable  net  income  taxable in Idaho or fails to pay any tax due thereon, the
 25    trust or estate making the payment or distribution shall be taxable  upon  the
 26    amount   of  such  distribution or payment at the rates established by section
 27    63-3024, Idaho Code.
 28        (h)  In the case of an individual who is on active  duty  as  a  full-time
 29    officer,  enlistee  or  draftee,  with  the armed forces of the United States,
 30    which full-time duty is or will be continuous and uninterrupted for  one  hun-
 31    dred  twenty  (120)  consecutive days or more, deduct compensation paid by the
 32    armed forces of the United States for services performed outside  this  state.
 33    The deduction is allowed only to the extent such income is included in taxable
 34    income, and provided that appropriate adjustments shall be made in determining
 35    the  deductions  and exemptions allowed pursuant to section 63-3026A(4), Idaho
 36    Code.
 37        (i)  In the case of a corporation, including any corporation included in a
 38    group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of section 63-3027,  Idaho
 39    Code, add any capital loss deducted which loss was incurred during any year in
 40    which such corporation did not transact business in Idaho. However, do not add
 41    any  capital  loss  deducted  if a corporation, including any corporation in a
 42    group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of section 63-3027,  Idaho
 43    Code,  was  transacting business in Idaho during the taxable year in which the
 44    loss was incurred. In the case of persons, other than  corporations,  add  any
 45    capital loss deducted which was incurred in business activities not taxable by
 46    Idaho  at  the time such loss was incurred. In computing the income taxable to
 47    an S corporation or partnership under this section,  deduction  shall  not  be
 48    allowed  for  a carryover or carryback of a net operating loss provided for in
 49    subsection (c) of this section or a capital loss provided for in section  1212
 50    of the Internal Revenue Code.
 51        (j)  In  the  case of an individual, there shall be allowed as a deduction
 52    from gross income either (1) or (2) at the option of the taxpayer:
 53        (1)  The standard deduction as defined in  section  63,  Internal  Revenue
 54        Code.
 55        (2)  Itemized  deductions as defined in section 63 of the Internal Revenue
                                                                        
                                           3
                                                                        
  1        Code except state income taxes as specified in section 164 of the Internal
  2        Revenue Code.
  3        (k)  Add the taxable amount of any lump  sum  distribution  deducted  from
  4    gross  income  pursuant to section 402(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
  5    taxable amount will include the ordinary income portion and the amount  eligi-
  6    ble for the capital gain election.
  7        (l)  Deduct  any  amounts included in gross income under the provisions of
  8    section 86 of the Internal Revenue Code relating to  certain  social  security
  9    and railroad benefits.
 10        (m)  In  the case of a self-employed individual, deduct the actual cost of
 11    premiums paid to secure worker's compensation insurance for coverage in Idaho,
 12    if such cost has not been deducted in arriving at taxable income.
 13        (on)  In the case of an individual, deduct the  amount  contributed  to  a
 14    college  savings program pursuant to chapter 54, title 33, Idaho Code, but not
 15    more than four thousand dollars ($4,000) per tax year. If the contribution  is
 16    made  on or before April 15, 2001, it may be deducted for tax year 2000 and an
 17    individual can make another contribution and claim the deduction according  to
 18    the  limits provided in this subsection during 2001 for tax year 2001, as long
 19    as the contribution  is made on or before December 31, 2001.
 20        (o)  In the case of an individual, add the amount of a nonqualified  with-
 21    drawal  from an individual trust account or savings account established pursu-
 22    ant to chapter 54, title 33, Idaho Code.
                                                                        
 23        SECTION 2.  An emergency existing  therefor,  which  emergency  is  hereby
 24    declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
 25    passage and approval, and retroactively to January 1, 2001.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

RS 10685


There are two needs covered by this bill.

1)
         Because of the lateness in getting the College Savings Program limits
in place it was desired, for this year only, to allow a deduction for
the year 2000 to be made until April 15, 2001.

2)
         There was a technical correction needed to comply with state tax laws.
This makes that correction.

                     FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact due to the legislation passed last year.
