  1  8    INCLUDING EFFECTIVE AND RETROACTIVE APPLICABILITY DATE

  1 10 
  1 11 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA: 
  1 12 
  1 13    Section 1.  Section 422.4, subsection 18, Code 1997, is
  1 14 amended by striking the subsection.
  1 15    Sec. 2.  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph j,
  1 16 subparagraph (2), subparagraph subdivisions (a) and (c), Code
  1 17 1997, are amended by striking the subparagraph subdivisions.
  1 18    Sec. 3.  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph j,
  1 19 subparagraph (2), Code 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  1 20    (2)  The tax imposed upon the taxable income of a resident
  1 21 shareholder in a value-added an S corporation which has in
  1 22 effect for the tax year an election under subchapter S of the
  1 23 Internal Revenue Code and carries on business within and
  1 24 without the state may be computed by reducing the amount
  1 25 determined pursuant to paragraphs "a" through "i" by the
  1 26 amounts of nonrefundable credits under this division and by
  1 27 multiplying this resulting amount by a fraction of which the
  1 28 resident's net income allocated to Iowa, as determined in
  1 29 section 422.8, subsection 2, paragraph "b", is the numerator
  1 30 and the resident's total net income computed under section
  1 31 422.7 is the denominator.  If a resident shareholder has
  1 32 elected to take advantage of this subparagraph, and for the
  1 33 next tax year elects not to take advantage of this
  1 34 subparagraph, the resident shareholder shall not reelect to
  1 35 take advantage of this subparagraph for the three tax years
  2  1 immediately following the first tax year for which the
  2  2 shareholder elected not to take advantage of this
  2  3 subparagraph, unless the director consents to the reelection.
  2  4 This paragraph subparagraph also applies to individuals who
  2  5 are residents of Iowa for less than the entire tax year.
  2  6    (a)  In order for a resident shareholder in a value-added
  2  7 corporation which has in effect for the tax year an election
  2  8 under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and carries on
  2  9 business within and without the state, to claim the benefits
  2 10 of apportionment of income of the value-added S corporation,
  2 11 the taxpayer must completely fill out the return, determine
  2 12 the taxpayer's income tax liability without the benefit of
  2 13 apportionment of the value-added corporation's income, and pay
  2 14 the amount of tax owed.  The taxpayer shall recompute the
  2 15 taxpayer's income tax liability, by applying the provisions of
  2 16 this subparagraph on a special return.  This special return
  2 17 shall be filed under rules of the director and constitutes a
  2 18 claim for refund of the difference between the amount of tax
  2 19 the taxpayer paid as determined without the provisions of this
  2 20 subparagraph and the amount of tax determined with the
  2 21 provisions of this subparagraph.
  2 22    (b)  This subparagraph shall not affect the amount of the
  2 23 taxpayer's checkoff to the Iowa election campaign fund under
  2 24 section 56.18, the checkoff for the fish and game fund in
  2 25 section 456A.16, the credits from tax provided in sections
  2 26 422.10, 422.11A, and 422.12 and the allocation of these
  2 27 credits between spouses if the taxpayers filed separate
  2 28 returns or separately on combined returns.
  2 29    (c)  For any tax year, the aggregate amount of refund
  2 30 claims that shall be paid pursuant to this subparagraph shall
  2 31 not exceed five million dollars.  If, for a tax year, the
  2 32 aggregate amount of refund claims filed pursuant to this
  2 33 subparagraph exceeds five million dollars, each claim for
  2 34 refund shall be paid on a pro rata basis so that the aggregate
  2 35 amount of refund claims does not exceed five million dollars.
  3  1 In the case where refund claims are not paid in full, the
  3  2 amount of the refund to which the taxpayer is entitled under
  3  3 this subparagraph is the pro rata amount that was paid and the
  3  4 taxpayer is not entitled to a refund of the unpaid portion and
  3  5 is not entitled to carry that amount forward or backward to
  3  6 another tax year.  Taxpayers shall not use refunds as
  3  7 estimated payments for the succeeding tax year.  Taxpayers
  3  8 whose tax years begin on January 1 must file their refund
  3  9 claims by October 31 of the calendar year following the end of
  3 10 their tax year to be eligible for refunds.  Taxpayers whose
  3 11 tax years begin on a date other than January 1 must file their
  3 12 refund claims by the end of the tenth month following the end
  3 13 of their tax years to be eligible.  The department shall
  3 14 determine on February 1 of the second succeeding calendar year
  3 15 if the total amount of claims for refund exceeds five million
  3 16 dollars for the tax year.  Notwithstanding any other
  3 17 provision, interest shall not be due on any refund claims that
  3 18 are paid by the last day of February of the second succeeding
  3 19 calendar year.  If the claim is not payable on February 1 of
  3 20 the second succeeding calendar year, because the taxpayer is a
  3 21 fiscal year filer, then the amount of the claim allowed shall
  3 22 be in the same ratio as the refund claims available on
  3 23 February 1 of the second succeeding calendar year.  These
  3 24 claims shall be funded by moneys appropriated for payment of
  3 25 individual income tax refunds.
  3 26    Sec. 4.  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph k,
  3 27 unnumbered paragraph 4, Code 1997, is amended to read as
  3 28 follows:
  3 29    In the case of a resident, including a resident estate or
  3 30 trust, the state's apportioned share of the state alternative
  3 31 minimum tax is one hundred percent of the state alternative
  3 32 minimum tax computed in this subsection.  In the case of a
  3 33 resident or part-year resident shareholder in a value-added an
  3 34 S corporation which has in effect for the tax year an election
  3 35 under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and carries on
  4  1 business within and without the state, a nonresident,
  4  2 including a nonresident estate or trust, or an individual,
  4  3 estate, or trust that is domiciled in the state for less than
  4  4 the entire tax year, the state's apportioned share of the
  4  5 state alternative minimum tax is the amount of tax computed
  4  6 under this subsection, reduced by the applicable credits in
  4  7 sections 422.10 through 422.12 and this result multiplied by a
  4  8 fraction with a numerator of the sum of state net income
  4  9 allocated to Iowa as determined in section 422.8, subsection
  4 10 2, paragraph "a" or "b" as applicable, plus tax preference
  4 11 items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph (1)
  4 12 attributable to Iowa and with a denominator of the sum of
  4 13 total net income computed under section 422.7 plus all tax
  4 14 preference items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph
  4 15 (1).  In computing this fraction, those items excludable under
  4 16 subparagraph (1) shall not be used in computing the tax
  4 17 preference items.  Married taxpayers electing to file separate
  4 18 returns or separately on a combined return must allocate the
  4 19 minimum tax computed in this subsection in the proportion that
  4 20 each spouse's respective preference items, adjustments, and
  4 21 losses under subparagraph (1) bear to the combined preference
  4 22 items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph (1) of both
  4 23 spouses.
  4 24    Sec. 5.  Section 422.8, subsection 2, paragraph b,
  4 25 unnumbered paragraph 1, Code 1997, is amended to read as
  4 26 follows:
  4 27    A resident's income allocable to Iowa is the income
  4 28 determined under section 422.7 reduced by items of income and
  4 29 expenses from a subchapter an S corporation which is a value-
  4 30 added corporation that carries on business within and without
  4 31 the state when those items of income and expenses pass
  4 32 directly to the shareholders under provisions of the Internal
  4 33 Revenue Code.  These items of income and expenses are
  4 34 increased by the greater of the following:
  4 35    Sec. 6.  Section 422.8, subsection 6, Code 1997, is amended
  5  1 to read as follows:
  5  2    6.  If the resident or part-year resident is a shareholder
  5  3 of a value-added an S 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 value-
  5  7 added corporation which has in effect an election under
  5  8 subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
  5  9    Sec. 7.  Section 2 of this Act applies retroactively to
  5 10 January 1, 1997, for tax years beginning on or after that
  5 11 date.
  5 12    Sec. 8.  This Act, except for section 2 of this Act, is
  5 13 effective January 1, 1998, and applies to tax years beginning
  5 14 on or after that date.
