  1 35                SUBCHAPTER S CORPORATIONS
  1 36    Sec.    .  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph
  1 37 j, Code 1995, is amended by adding the following new
  1 38 unnumbered paragraph:
  1 39    NEW UNNUMBERED PARAGRAPH.  The tax imposed upon the
  1 40 taxable income of a resident shareholder in a
  1 41 corporation which has in effect for the tax year an
  1 42 election under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
  1 43 Code and carries on business within and without the
  1 44 state shall be computed by reducing the amount
  1 45 determined pursuant to paragraphs "a" through "i" by
  1 46 the amounts of nonrefundable credits under this
  1 47 division and by multiplying this resulting amount by a
  1 48 fraction of which the resident's net income allocated
  1 49 to Iowa, as determined in section 422.8, subsection 2,
  1 50 paragraph "b", is the numerator and the resident's
  2  1 total net income computed under section 422.7 is the
  2  2 denominator.  This paragraph also applies to
  2  3 individuals who are residents of Iowa for less than
  2  4 the entire tax year.
  2  5    Sec.    .  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph
  2  6 k, unnumbered paragraph 4, Code 1995, is amended to
  2  7 read as follows:
  2  8    In the case of a resident, including a resident
  2  9 estate or trust, the state's apportioned share of the
  2 10 state alternative minimum tax is one hundred percent
  2 11 of the state alternative minimum tax computed in this
  2 12 subsection.  In the case of a resident or part year
  2 13 resident shareholder in a corporation which has in
  2 14 effect for the tax year an election under subchapter S
  2 15 of the Internal Revenue Code and carries on business
  2 16 within and without the state, a nonresident, including
  2 17 a nonresident estate or trust, or an individual,
  2 18 estate, or trust that is domiciled in the state for
  2 19 less than the entire tax year, the state's apportioned
  2 20 share of the state alternative minimum tax is the
  2 21 amount of tax computed under this subsection, reduced
  2 22 by the applicable credits in sections 422.10 through
  2 23 422.12 and this result multiplied by a fraction with a
  2 24 numerator of the sum of state net income allocated to
  2 25 Iowa as determined in section 422.8, subsection 2,
  2 26 paragraph "a" or "b" as applicable, plus tax
  2 27 preference items, adjustments, and losses under
  2 28 subparagraph (1) attributable to Iowa and with a
  2 29 denominator of the sum of total net income computed
  2 30 under section 422.7 plus all tax preference items,
  2 31 adjustments, and losses under subparagraph (1).  In
  2 32 computing this fraction, those items excludable under
  2 33 subparagraph (1) shall not be used in computing the
  2 34 tax preference items.  Married taxpayers electing to
  2 35 file separate returns or separately on a combined
  2 36 return must allocate the minimum tax computed in this
  2 37 subsection in the proportion that each spouse's
  2 38 respective preference items, adjustments, and losses
  2 39 under subparagraph (1) bear to the combined preference
  2 40 items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph (1)
  2 41 of both spouses.
  2 42    Sec.    .  Section 422.8, subsection 2, Code 1995,
  2 43 is amended to read as follows:
  2 44    2.  a.  Nonresident's net income allocated to Iowa
  2 45 is the net income, or portion thereof, which is
  2 46 derived from a business, trade, profession, or
  2 47 occupation carried on within this state or income from
  2 48 any property, trust, estate, or other source within
  2 49 Iowa.  However, income derived from a business, trade,
  2 50 profession, or occupation carried on within this state
  3  1 and income from any property, trust, estate, or other
  3  2 source within Iowa shall not include distributions
  3  3 from pensions, including defined benefit or defined
  3  4 contribution plans, annuities, individual retirement
  3  5 accounts, and deferred compensation plans or any
  3  6 earnings attributable thereto so long as the
  3  7 distribution is directly related to an individual's
  3  8 documented retirement and received while the
  3  9 individual is a nonresident of this state.  If a
  3 10 business, trade, profession, or occupation is carried
  3 11 on partly within and partly without the state, only
  3 12 the portion of the net income which is fairly and
  3 13 equitably attributable to that part of the business,
  3 14 trade, profession, or occupation carried on within the
  3 15 state is allocated to Iowa for purposes of section
  3 16 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph "j", and section 422.13
  3 17 and income from any property, trust, estate, or other
  3 18 source partly within and partly without the state is
  3 19 allocated to Iowa in the same manner, except that
  3 20 annuities, interest on bank deposits and interest-
  3 21 bearing obligations, and dividends are allocated to
  3 22 Iowa only to the extent to which they are derived from
  3 23 a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried
  3 24 on within the state.
  3 25    b.  A resident's income allocable to Iowa is the
  3 26 income determined under section 422.7 reduced by items
  3 27 of income and expenses from a subchapter S corporation
  3 28 which pass directly to the shareholders under
  3 29 provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and increased
  3 30 by the greater of the following:
  3 31    (1)  The net income or loss of the corporation
  3 32 which is fairly and equitably attributable to this
  3 33 state under section 422.33, subsections 2 and 3.
  3 34    (2)  The taxpayer's pro rata share of an amount
  3 35 deemed distributed to shareholders which when added to
  3 36 the salaries, wages, or other compensation for
  3 37 services performed by all shareholders will equal ten
  3 38 percent of the net income of the corporation computed
  3 39 in accordance with section 422.35 and considering
  3 40 items of income and expense which pass directly to the
  3 41 shareholders under provisions of the Internal Revenue
  3 42 Code before deduction of shareholder's salaries,
  3 43 wages, or other compensation for services performed.
  3 44    (3)  Any cash or the value of any property
  3 45 distributions made to the extent they are paid from
  3 46 income upon which Iowa income tax has not been paid as
  3 47 determined under rules of the director.
  3 48    Sec.    .  Section 422.8, Code 1995, is amended by
  3 49 adding the following new subsection:
  3 50    NEW SUBSECTION.  6.  If the resident or part year
  4  1 resident is a shareholder of a corporation which has
  4  2 in effect an election under subchapter S of the
  4  3 Internal Revenue Code, subsections 1 and 3 do not
  4  4 apply to any income taxes paid to another state or
  4  5 foreign country on the income from the corporation
  4  6 which has in effect an election under subchapter S of
  4  7 the Internal Revenue Code.
  4  8    Sec.    .  This division of this Act, being deemed
  4  9 of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment
  4 10 and applies retroactively to January 1, 1995, for tax
  4 11 years beginning on or after that date.

  5  8 commissioned.  "Net actual generation" means net
  5  9 electrical megawatt hours produced by the unit during
  5 10 the preceding assessment year.  "Net maximum capacity"
  5 11 means the capacity the unit can sustain over a

  5 24 person directly or indirectly owns or controls fifty
  5 25 percent or more of the assets or any class of stock or
  5 26 who directly or indirectly has an interest of fifty
  5 27 percent or more in the ownership or profits.
  5 28    d.  "Net acquisition cost" means the acquired cost
  5 29 of the property, including all foundations and
  5 30 installation cost less any excess cost adjustment.

  6  3 been retired.  The taxpayer's valuation for such
  6  4 property shall then be the valuation specified in
  6  5 subsection 1 for the applicable assessment year.  If
  6  6 the loans, advances, or bonds issued, or indebtedness
  6  7 incurred between January 1, 1982, and June 30, 1995,
  6  8 are refinanced or refunded after June 30, 1995, the

  9 21 is less than that specified in section 427B.19B for
  9 22 the applicable fiscal year, the director of revenue
  9 23 and finance shall compute for each county the
  9 24 difference between the total of all replacement claims
  9 25 for taxing districts within the county and the amount
  9 26 paid to the county treasurer for disbursement to the
  9 27 taxing districts in the county.  The department shall
  9 28 divide that difference by the consolidated tax levy
  9 29 rate in each county computed for the fiscal year in
  9 30 which the specified appropriation should have been
  9 31 made and shall certify the amount of taxable value
  9 32 necessary to raise the difference at that tax rate.
  9 33 The department shall notify the local assessor of such
  9 34 amount of taxable value.  The assessor, for the
  9 35 assessment year beginning January 1 preceding the
  9 36 fiscal year for which the specified appropriation was
  9 37 not made, shall reassess all taxable property
  9 38 described in section 427B.17 in the county at a
  9 39 percentage of net acquisition cost which will yield
  9 40 such taxable value and the property shall be assessed
  9 41 and taxed in such manner for taxes due and payable in
  9 42 the following fiscal year in addition to being
  9 43 assessed and taxed in the applicable manner under
  9 44 section 427B.17.  Property tax dollar amounts
  9 45 certified pursuant to this section shall not be
  9 46 considered property tax dollars certified for purposes
  9 47 of the property tax limitation in chapter 444.

 10  3 state to the department of revenue and finance to be
 10  4 credited to the relief fund, the following amounts:

 10  6 million, nine hundred thousand dollars.
 10  7    b.  For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1997, one
 10  8 million, eight hundred thousand dollars.
 10  9    c.  For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1998, one
 10 10 million, nine hundred thousand dollars.
 10 11    Moneys in the fund at the end of a fiscal year
 10 12 shall not revert to the general fund of the state,
 10 13 notwithstanding section 8.33.
 10 14    2.  a.  The purpose of the industrial machinery,
 10 15 equipment and computers relief fund is to provide
 10 16 funds to those taxing districts in which an increase
 10 17 in property tax revenue has not been realized as a
 10 18 result of the elimination of the property tax on
 10 19 property assessed pursuant to section 427B.17.
 10 20 Beginning with the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996,
 10 21 a taxing district may apply for funds under this
 10 22 section by filing an application with the director of
 10 23 the department of management not later than March 1
 10 24 preceding the fiscal year in which the funds will be
 10 25 distributed.  The state appeal board shall approve,
 10 26 disapprove, or reduce the amount of funds requested by
 10 27 the taxing district.
 10 28    b.  On forms provided by the department of
 10 29 management, the taxing district shall request an
 10 30 amount not exceeding the product of the decrease in
 10 31 assessed valuation for the fiscal year for which the
 10 32 application is filed compared to the assessed
 10 33 valuation in the previous fiscal year, as determined
 10 34 pursuant to subsection 3, and the property tax rate
 10 35 applied in the previous fiscal year, less any property
 10 36 tax replacement funds received pursuant to section
 10 37 427B.19A in the previous fiscal year.  The taxing
 10 38 district shall also submit with the application the
 10 39 district's plan to improve its future budget position.
 10 40    c.  Claims approved by the state appeal board shall
 10 41 be paid to the taxing district by October 1 following
 10 42 submission of the application for funds.
 10 43    3.  To be eligible to receive funds under this
 10 44 section, a taxing district must show that there has
 10 45 been a decrease of more than three percent in the
 10 46 assessed valuation for taxes payable in the fiscal
 10 47 year for which the application is submitted compared
 10 48 to the assessed valuation for taxes payable in the
 10 49 previous fiscal year, which decrease is attributable
 10 50 to the elimination of the property tax on industrial
 11  1 machinery, equipment and computers pursuant to section
 11  2 427B.17.  The taxing district, to be eligible for
 11  3 funds, must also show that the district has exhausted
 11  4 all other lawful alternatives for improving the
 11  5 district's budget position.
 11  6    4.  If the amount appropriated in this section is
 11  7 insufficient to pay all applications approved, the
 11  8 director of revenue and finance shall prorate the
 11  9 disbursements from the relief fund and shall report
 11 10 the amount of the shortfall to the director of the
 11 11 department of management.  By January 1 of the
 11 12 following year, the director of the department of
 11 13 management shall submit to the general assembly a plan
 11 14 for the funding of approved applications that were not
 11 15 fully funded in that fiscal year.
 11 16    5.  Amounts received pursuant to this section shall
 11 17 not be considered property tax dollars certified for
 11 18 purposes of the property tax limitation in chapter
 11 19 444.
 11 20    6.  The department of revenue and finance and the
 11 21 department of management shall adopt rules necessary
 11 22 to implement this section.
