  1  1                           DIVISION I
  1  2                      INCOME TAX INDEXATION
  1  3    Section 1.  Section 422.4, subsection 1, paragraph a, Code
  1  4 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  1  5    a.  "Annual inflation factor" means an index, expressed as
  1  6 a percentage, determined by the department by October 15 of
  1  7 the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which the
  1  8 factor is determined, which reflects the purchasing power of
  1  9 the dollar as a result of inflation during the fiscal year
  1 10 ending in the calendar year preceding the calendar year for
  1 11 which the factor is determined.  In determining the annual
  1 12 inflation factor, the department shall use the annual percent
  1 13 change, but not less than zero percent, in the implicit price
  1 14 deflator for the gross national product computed for the
  1 15 second quarter of the calendar year by the bureau of economic
  1 16 analysis of the United States department of commerce and shall
  1 17 add one-half all of that percent change to one hundred
  1 18 percent.  The annual inflation factor and the cumulative
  1 19 inflation factor shall each be expressed as a percentage
  1 20 rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one percent.  The annual
  1 21 inflation factor shall not be less than one hundred percent.
  1 22    Sec. 2.  This division of this Act, being deemed of
  1 23 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment and applies
  1 24 to the computation of the annual inflation factor for calendar
  1 25 years beginning on or after January 1, 1996.  The department
  1 26 of revenue and finance shall adjust the annual inflation
  1 27 factor previously computed for the 1996 calendar year to
  1 28 reflect the change made in the computation of the annual
  1 29 inflation factor in this division.  
  1 30                           DIVISION II
  1 31                    SUBCHAPTER S CORPORATIONS
  1 32    Sec. 3.  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph j, Code
  1 33 1995, is amended by adding the following new unnumbered
  1 34 paragraph:
  1 35    NEW UNNUMBERED PARAGRAPH.  The tax imposed upon the taxable
  2  1 income of a resident shareholder in a corporation which has in
  2  2 effect for the tax year an election under subchapter S of the
  2  3 Internal Revenue Code and carries on business within and
  2  4 without the state shall be computed by reducing the amount
  2  5 determined pursuant to paragraphs "a" through "i" by the
  2  6 amounts of nonrefundable credits under this division and by
  2  7 multiplying this resulting amount by a fraction of which the
  2  8 resident's net income allocated to Iowa, as determined in
  2  9 section 422.8, subsection 2, paragraph "b", is the numerator
  2 10 and the resident's total net income computed under section
  2 11 422.7 is the denominator.  This paragraph also applies to
  2 12 individuals who are residents of Iowa for less than the entire
  2 13 tax year.
  2 14    Sec. 4.  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph k,
  2 15 unnumbered paragraph 4, Code 1995, is amended to read as
  2 16 follows:
  2 17    In the case of a resident, including a resident estate or
  2 18 trust, the state's apportioned share of the state alternative
  2 19 minimum tax is one hundred percent of the state alternative
  2 20 minimum tax computed in this subsection.  In the case of a
  2 21 resident or part year resident shareholder in a corporation
  2 22 which has in effect for the tax year an election under
  2 23 subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and carries on
  2 24 business within and without the state, a nonresident,
  2 25 including a nonresident estate or trust, or an individual,
  2 26 estate, or trust that is domiciled in the state for less than
  2 27 the entire tax year, the state's apportioned share of the
  2 28 state alternative minimum tax is the amount of tax computed
  2 29 under this subsection, reduced by the applicable credits in
  2 30 sections 422.10 through 422.12 and this result multiplied by a
  2 31 fraction with a numerator of the sum of state net income
  2 32 allocated to Iowa as determined in section 422.8, subsection
  2 33 2, paragraph "a" or "b", as applicable, plus tax preference
  2 34 items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph (1)
  2 35 attributable to Iowa and with a denominator of the sum of
  3  1 total net income computed under section 422.7 plus all tax
  3  2 preference items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph
  3  3 (1).  In computing this fraction, those items excludable under
  3  4 subparagraph (1) shall not be used in computing the tax
  3  5 preference items.  Married taxpayers electing to file separate
  3  6 returns or separately on a combined return must allocate the
  3  7 minimum tax computed in this subsection in the proportion that
  3  8 each spouse's respective preference items, adjustments, and
  3  9 losses under subparagraph (1) bear to the combined preference
  3 10 items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph (1) of both
  3 11 spouses.
  3 12    Sec. 5.  Section 422.7, Code Supplement 1995, is amended by
  3 13 adding the following new subsection:
  3 14    NEW SUBSECTION.  35.  Resident shareholders of a
  3 15 corporation which has in effect an election under subchapter S
  3 16 of the Internal Revenue Code shall add their proportionate
  3 17 share of a deemed distribution of current year income, upon
  3 18 which Iowa income tax has not been paid as determined under
  3 19 rules of the director, to the extent that the salaries, wages,
  3 20 or other compensation for services performed by all
  3 21 shareholders does not equal ten percent of net income of the
  3 22 corporation computed in accordance with section 422.35 and
  3 23 considering items of income and expense which pass directly to
  3 24 the shareholders under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
  3 25 before deduction of shareholders' salaries, wages, or other
  3 26 compensation for services performed.  In addition there shall
  3 27 be added any cash or the value of any property distributions
  3 28 made to the extent they are made from income upon which Iowa
  3 29 income tax has not been paid as determined under rules of the
  3 30 director.
  3 31    Sec. 6.  Section 422.8, subsection 2, Code 1995, is amended
  3 32 to read as follows:
  3 33    2.  a.  Nonresident's net income allocated to Iowa is the
  3 34 net income, or portion thereof, which is derived from a
  3 35 business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on within
  4  1 this state or income from any property, trust, estate, or
  4  2 other source within Iowa.  However, income derived from a
  4  3 business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on within
  4  4 this state and income from any property, trust, estate, or
  4  5 other source within Iowa shall not include distributions from
  4  6 pensions, including defined benefit or defined contribution
  4  7 plans, annuities, individual retirement accounts, and deferred
  4  8 compensation plans or any earnings attributable thereto so
  4  9 long as the distribution is directly related to an
  4 10 individual's documented retirement and received while the
  4 11 individual is a nonresident of this state.  If a business,
  4 12 trade, profession, or occupation is carried on partly within
  4 13 and partly without the state, only the portion of the net
  4 14 income which is fairly and equitably attributable to that part
  4 15 of the business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on
  4 16 within the state is allocated to Iowa for purposes of section
  4 17 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph "j", and section 422.13 and
  4 18 income from any property, trust, estate, or other source
  4 19 partly within and partly without the state is allocated to
  4 20 Iowa in the same manner, except that annuities, interest on
  4 21 bank deposits and interest-bearing obligations, and dividends
  4 22 are allocated to Iowa only to the extent to which they are
  4 23 derived from a business, trade, profession, or occupation
  4 24 carried on within the state.
  4 25    b.  A resident's income allocable to Iowa is the income
  4 26 determined under section 422.7 reduced by the net income or
  4 27 loss of a corporation which is fairly and equitably
  4 28 attributable without the state under section 422.33,
  4 29 subsections 2 and 3.  For the purposes of this paragraph,
  4 30 "corporation" means a corporation which has in effect for the
  4 31 tax year an election under subchapter S of the Internal
  4 32 Revenue Code and carries on business partly within and partly
  4 33 without the state.  This paragraph also applies to individuals
  4 34 who are residents of Iowa for less than the entire tax year.
  4 35    Sec. 7.  Section 422.8, Code 1995, is amended by adding the
  5  1 following new subsection:
  5  2    NEW SUBSECTION.  6.  If the resident or part year resident
  5  3 is a shareholder of a corporation which has in effect an
  5  4 election under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code,
  5  5 subsections 1 and 3 do not apply to any income taxes paid to
  5  6 another state or foreign country on the income from the
  5  7 corporation which has in effect an election under subchapter S
  5  8 of the Internal Revenue Code.
  5  9    Sec. 8.  This division of this Act, being deemed of
  5 10 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment and applies
  5 11 retroactively to January 1, 1996, for tax years beginning on
  5 12 or after that date.  
  5 13                          DIVISION III
  5 14                      INHERITANCE TAXATION
  5 15    Sec. 9.  Section 450.9, subsections 2 and 3, Code 1995, are

  5 17    2.  Each son and daughter, including legally adopted sons
  5 18 and daughters, or biological sons and daughters entitled to

  5 20 each grandchild or stepchild, the entire amount of property,
  5 21 interest in property, and income.
  5 22    3.  Father or mother, fifteen thousand dollars the entire
  5 23 amount of property, interest in property, and income.

  5 26    When the property, interest, or income passes to the father
  5 27 or mother, or to a child or a lineal descendant of the
  5 28 decedent, grantor, donor, or vendor, including a legally
  5 29 adopted child or biological child entitled to inherit under
  5 30 the laws of this state not included in subsection 7, the tax
  5 31 imposed shall be on the individual share so passing in excess
  5 32 of the exemptions allowed as follows:

  5 34 paragraph 1, Code 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  5 35    When the property or any interest therein in property, or
  6  1 income therefrom from property taxable under the provisions of
  6  2 this chapter passes to the brother or sister, son-in-law, or
  6  3 daughter-in-law, or step-children, the rate of tax imposed on
  6  4 the individual share so passing shall be as follows:
  6  5    Sec. 12.  Section 450.10, subsection 7, Code 1995, is
  6  6 amended to read as follows:

  6 15                           DIVISION IV
  6 16                     TAXPAYER RELIEF ACCOUNT
  6 17    Sec. 14.  NEW SECTION.  426C.1  TAXPAYER RELIEF ACCOUNT.
  6 18    1.  A taxpayer relief account is created in the state
  6 19 treasury under the authority of the department of management.
  6 20 The account shall be separate from the general fund of the
  6 21 state and shall not be considered part of the general fund of
  6 22 the state except in determining the cash position of the state
  6 23 for payment of state obligations.  The moneys in the account
  6 24 are not subject to the provisions of section 8.33 and shall
  6 25 not be transferred, used, obligated, appropriated, or
  6 26 otherwise encumbered except as provided in this section.
  6 27 Moneys in the account may be used for cash flow purposes
  6 28 provided that any moneys so allocated are returned to the fund
  6 29 by the end of each fiscal year.  However, the fund shall be
  6 30 considered a special account for the purposes of section 8.53,
  6 31 relating to elimination of any GAAP deficit.  Moneys in the
  6 32 taxpayer relief account shall be used as appropriated by the
  6 33 general assembly for tax relief, including but not limited to
  6 34 reduction of school and other property taxes.
  6 35    2.  Notwithstanding section 12C.7, subsection 2, interest
  7  1 or earnings on moneys deposited in the taxpayer relief account
  7  2 shall be credited to the account.
  7  3    3.  There is appropriated to the tax relief account for
  7  4 each fiscal year from the general fund of the state, one
  7  5 hundred million dollars.  
  7  6                           EXPLANATION
  7  7    Division I - Under present law the tax brackets for the
  7  8 state individual income tax are adjusted by an inflation
  7  9 factor that uses 50 percent of the change in the implicit
  7 10 price deflator for the gross national product.  The division
  7 11 increases this to 100 percent of such change.  This division
  7 12 applies retroactively to tax years beginning on or after
  7 13 January 1, 1996.
  7 14    Division II - Under current statutory provisions, a
  7 15 nonresident shareholder of a subchapter S corporation computes
  7 16 an amount of Iowa individual income tax on the nonresident's
  7 17 total income earned everywhere and then that amount of tax is
  7 18 prorated to Iowa in the ratio of gross income from Iowa
  7 19 sources to total gross income.
  7 20    The division taxes the income from a subchapter S
  7 21 corporation for a resident shareholder the same way as the
  7 22 income is taxed for a nonresident.  An amount of Iowa
  7 23 individual income tax is computed on the total resident
  7 24 shareholder's total income everywhere and then the amount of
  7 25 tax is prorated to Iowa in the ratio of gross income
  7 26 everywhere reduced by the non-Iowa income of the subchapter S
  7 27 corporation to total income everywhere.  The resident
  7 28 shareholder may still take an out-of-state tax credit on
  7 29 income other than income from the subchapter S corporation for
  7 30 taxes paid to another state.
  7 31    The division applies retroactively to January 1, 1996, for
  7 32 tax years beginning on or after that date.
  7 33    Division III - This division exempts from the state
  7 34 inheritance tax property, interest in property, and income
  7 35 passing to parents, natural and adopted children,
  8  1 stepchildren, and grandchildren.
  8  2    This division applies to estates of decedents dying on or
  8  3 after July 1, 1996.
  8  4    Division IV - This division creates a special taxpayer
  8  5 relief account in the state treasury to be used solely as
  8  6 appropriated by the general assembly for providing tax relief.
  8  7 The tax relief may take the form of a reduction in state or
  8  8 local taxation.  There is also appropriated $100 million to
  8  9 the account for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996, and
  8 10 for each subsequent fiscal year.
