                             BY REVENUE AND TAXATION COMMITTEE
                                                                        
  1                                        AN ACT
  2    RELATING TO INCOME TAXES; AMENDING SECTION 63-3022,  IDAHO  CODE,  TO  CLARIFY
  3        THAT  NET  OPERATING  LOSSES AND CAPITAL LOSSES INCURRED IN ACTIVITIES NOT
  4        TAXABLE IN THIS STATE ARE NOT DEDUCTIBLE EVEN IF THE  ACTIVITY  IS  NOT  A
  5        BUSINESS  ACTIVITY;  DECLARING  AN  EMERGENCY  AND PROVIDING A RETROACTIVE
  6        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  63-3022M,  Idaho
 12    Code,  are  to  be  applied  to  the extent allowed in computing Idaho taxable
 13    income:
 14        (a)  Add any state and local taxes, as  defined  in  section  164  of  the
 15    Internal  Revenue Code and, measured by net income, paid or accrued during the
 16    taxable year adjusted for state or local tax refunds used in arriving at  tax-
 17    able income.
 18        (b)  Add  the  net  operating  loss  deduction used in arriving at taxable
 19    income.
 20        (c)  (1) A net operating loss for any taxable year commencing on and after
 21        January 1, 2000, shall be a net operating loss carryback not to  exceed  a
 22        total  of  one  hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) to the two (2) immedi-
 23        ately preceding taxable years. Any portion of the net operating  loss  not
 24        subtracted  in  the  two (2) preceding years may be subtracted in the next
 25        twenty (20) years succeeding the taxable year in which the loss arises  in
 26        order until exhausted. The sum of the deductions may not exceed the amount
 27        of  the net operating loss deduction incurred. At the election of the tax-
 28        payer, the two (2) year carryback may be foregone and the loss  subtracted
 29        from  income  received  in  taxable  years arising in the next twenty (20)
 30        years succeeding the taxable year in which the loss arises in order  until
 31        exhausted.  The  election  shall be made as under section 172(b)(3) of the
 32        Internal Revenue Code. An election under this subsection must  be  in  the
 33        manner  prescribed  in the rules of the state tax commission and once made
 34        is irrevocable for the year in which it is made. The term "income" as used
 35        in this subsection (c) means Idaho taxable income as defined in this chap-
 36        ter as modified by section 63-3021(b)(2), (3) and (4), Idaho Code.
 37        (2)  Net operating losses incurred by a corporation during a year in which
 38        such corporation did not transact business in Idaho or was not included in
 39        a group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of section  63-3027,
 40        Idaho  Code,  may not be subtracted. However, if at least one (1) corpora-
 41        tion within a group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of  sec-
 42        tion  63-3027,  Idaho  Code,  was transacting business in Idaho during the
 43        taxable year in which the loss was incurred, then the net  operating  loss
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1        may be subtracted. Net operating losses incurred by a person, other than a
  2        corporation,  in  business activities not taxable by Idaho may not be sub-
  3        tracted.
  4        (d)  In the case of a corporation, add the amount deducted under the  pro-
  5    visions  of sections 243(a) and (c), 244, 245 and 246A of the Internal Revenue
  6    Code (relating to dividends received by corporations) as  limited  by  section
  7    246(b)(1) of said code.
  8        (e)  In  the  case  of  a corporation, subtract an amount determined under
  9    section  78 of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxable as dividends.
 10        (f)  Subtract the amount of any income received or accrued during the tax-
 11    able year which is exempt from taxation by this state, under the provisions of
 12    any other law of this state or a law of the United States, if  not  previously
 13    subtracted in arriving at taxable income.
 14        (g)  For  the purpose of determining the Idaho taxable income of the bene-
 15    ficiary of a trust or of an estate:
 16        (1)  Distributable net income as defined for federal tax purposes shall be
 17        corrected for the other adjustments required by this section.
 18        (2)  Net operating losses attributable to a  beneficiary  of  a  trust  or
 19        estate under section 642 of the Internal Revenue Code shall be a deduction
 20        for  the  beneficiary  to  the extent that income from the trust or estate
 21        would be attributable to this state under the provisions of this chapter.
 22        (h)  In the case of an individual who is on active  duty  as  a  full-time
 23    officer,  enlistee  or  draftee,  with  the armed forces of the United States,
 24    which full-time duty is or will be continuous and uninterrupted for  one  hun-
 25    dred  twenty  (120)  consecutive days or more, deduct compensation paid by the
 26    armed forces of the United States for services performed outside  this  state.
 27    The deduction is allowed only to the extent such income is included in taxable
 28    income, and provided that appropriate adjustments shall be made in determining
 29    the  deductions  and exemptions allowed pursuant to section 63-3026A(4), Idaho
 30    Code.
 31        (i)  In the case of a corporation, including any corporation included in a
 32    group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of section 63-3027,  Idaho
 33    Code, add any capital loss deducted which loss was incurred during any year in
 34    which such corporation did not transact business in Idaho. However, do not add
 35    any  capital  loss  deducted  if a corporation, including any corporation in a
 36    group of corporations combined under subsection (t) of section 63-3027,  Idaho
 37    Code,  was  transacting business in Idaho during the taxable year in which the
 38    loss was incurred. In the case of persons, other than  corporations,  add  any
 39    capital loss deducted which was incurred in business activities not taxable by
 40    Idaho  at  the time such loss was incurred. In computing the income taxable to
 41    an S corporation or partnership under this section,  deduction  shall  not  be
 42    allowed  for  a carryover or carryback of a net operating loss provided for in
 43    subsection (c) of this section or a capital loss provided for in section  1212
 44    of the Internal Revenue Code.
 45        (j)  In  the  case of an individual, there shall be allowed as a deduction
 46    from gross income either (1) or (2) at the option of the taxpayer:
 47        (1)  The standard deduction as defined in  section  63,  Internal  Revenue
 48        Code.
 49        (2)  Itemized  deductions as defined in section 63 of the Internal Revenue
 50        Code except state or local taxes measured by net income and as defined  in
 51        section 164 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 52        (k)  Add  the  taxable  amount  of any lump sum distribution excluded from
 53    gross income for federal income tax purposes under the ten (10) year averaging
 54    method. The taxable amount will include the ordinary income  portion  and  the
 55    amount eligible for the capital gain election.
                                                                        
                                           3
                                                                        
  1        (l)  Deduct  any  amounts included in gross income under the provisions of
  2    section 86 of the Internal Revenue Code relating to  certain  social  security
  3    and railroad benefits.
  4        (m)  In  the case of a self-employed individual, deduct the actual cost of
  5    premiums paid to secure worker's compensation insurance for coverage in Idaho,
  6    if such cost has not been deducted in arriving at taxable income.
  7        (n)  In the case of an individual, deduct the amount contributed to a col-
  8    lege  savings program pursuant to chapter 54, title 33, Idaho  Code,  but  not
  9    more  than four thousand dollars ($4,000) per tax year. If the contribution is
 10    made on or before April 15, 2001, it may be deducted for tax year 2000 and  an
 11    individual  can make another contribution and claim the deduction according to
 12    the limits provided in this subsection during 2001 for tax year 2001, as  long
 13    as the contribution is made on or before December 31, 2001.
 14        (o)  In  the case of an individual, add the amount of a nonqualified with-
 15    drawal from an individual trust account or savings account established  pursu-
 16    ant to chapter 54, title 33, Idaho Code.
                                                                        
 17        SECTION  2.  An  emergency  existing  therefor,  which emergency is hereby
 18    declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
 19    passage and approval, and retroactively to January 1, 2002.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                     STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 11470

This bill amends section 63-3022, Idaho Code, relating Idaho a
djustments to federal taxable income.  It clarifies the existing 
disallowance of deductions for net operating losses and capital 
losses incurred in activities not taxable in Idaho.  The bill strikes 
the word "business" from the phrase "in business activities not 
taxable by Idaho" so it reads: "in activities not taxable in Idaho."  
The purpose is to clarify that the limitation applies to personal 
investments losses that are not part of a "trade or business" as the 
Internal Revenue Code defines that term.

                         FISCAL IMPACT
