Amendment Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Amend Senate File 542 as follows:
  1  2    #1.  Page 7, by inserting after line 21 the
  1  3 following:
  1  4    "Sec.    .  Section 422.73, Code 1997, is amended
  1  5 by adding the following new subsection:
  1  6    NEW SUBSECTION.  3.  Notwithstanding subsection 2,
  1  7 a claim for refund of individual income tax paid for
  1  8 any tax year beginning on or after January 1, 1985,
  1  9 and before January 1, 1989, is considered timely if
  1 10 filed with the department on or before June 30, 1997,
  1 11 if the taxpayer's claim is the result of the
  1 12 unconstitutional taxation of federal pension benefits
  1 13 based upon the decision in Davis v. Michigan
  1 14 Department of Treasury, 489 U.S. 803, 109 S. Ct. 1500
  1 15 (1989).
  1 16    A taxpayer entitled to a refund of tax paid under
  1 17 this subsection shall receive an amount equal to one
  1 18 hundred percent of the refund without interest.  The
  1 19 claim for refund shall be filed separate from any
  1 20 income tax return and shall not be allowed as a credit
  1 21 for income taxes owed.  A claim shall be filed between
  1 22 the effective date of this Act and October 31, 1997.
  1 23 An extension for filing shall not be allowed and
  1 24 claims disallowed on the basis of timeliness shall not
  1 25 be allowed upon appeal to any other state agency
  1 26 notwithstanding any other provision of law.
  1 27    The claim for refund shall be made on claim forms
  1 28 to be made available by the department.  In order for
  1 29 a taxpayer to have a valid refund claim, the taxpayer
  1 30 must supply legible copies of documents the director
  1 31 deems necessary to show entitlement to the refund,
  1 32 including but not limited to income tax forms and W-2P
  1 33 forms, which will establish the state income tax that
  1 34 was paid on the federal pension benefits for the tax
  1 35 years in question.  The burden of proof is on the
  1 36 taxpayer to show that the claim for refund is valid.
  1 37 Estates are not entitled to file a claim for refund
  1 38 under this subsection, except a spouse of a deceased
  1 39 taxpayer who was the spouse of the taxpayer when the
  1 40 unconstitutional tax was imposed may file a claim for
  1 41 refund without reopening the deceased taxpayer's
  1 42 estate.  If a taxpayer has filed a claim under this
  1 43 subsection and subsequently dies before receipt of the
  1 44 refund, the taxpayer's estate is entitled to receipt
  1 45 of any valid refund claim.
  1 46    The department shall make a reasonable attempt to
  1 47 notify individuals who are entitled to a refund under
  1 48 this subsection."
  1 49    #2. By renumbering as necessary.
