  1  1    Section 1.  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraphs a
  1  2 through i, Code 2003, are amended by striking the paragraphs
  1  3 and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
  1  4    a.  On all taxable income from zero through eight thousand
  1  5 dollars, one and nine-tenths percent.
  1  6    b.  On all taxable income exceeding eight thousand dollars
  1  7 but not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars, four and one-
  1  8 half percent.
  1  9    c.  On all taxable income exceeding one hundred thousand
  1 10 dollars, four and eight-tenths percent.
  1 11    Sec. 2.  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph j, Code
  1 12 2003, is amended to read as follows:
  1 13    j.  (1)  The tax imposed upon the taxable income of a
  1 14 nonresident shall be computed by reducing the amount
  1 15 determined pursuant to paragraphs "a" through "i" "c" by the
  1 16 amounts of nonrefundable credits under this division and by
  1 17 multiplying this resulting amount by a fraction of which the
  1 18 nonresident's net income allocated to Iowa, as determined in
  1 19 section 422.8, subsection 2, paragraph "a", is the numerator
  1 20 and the nonresident's total net income computed under section
  1 21 422.7 is the denominator.  This provision also applies to
  1 22 individuals who are residents of Iowa for less than the entire
  1 23 tax year.
  1 24    (2)  The tax imposed upon the taxable income of a resident
  1 25 shareholder in an S corporation which has in effect for the
  1 26 tax year an election under subchapter S of the Internal
  1 27 Revenue Code and carries on business within and without the
  1 28 state may be computed by reducing the amount determined
  1 29 pursuant to paragraphs "a" through "i" "c" by the amounts of
  1 30 nonrefundable credits under this division and by multiplying
  1 31 this resulting amount by a fraction of which the resident's
  1 32 net income allocated to Iowa, as determined in section 422.8,
  1 33 subsection 2, paragraph "b", is the numerator and the
  1 34 resident's total net income computed under section 422.7 is
  1 35 the denominator.  If a resident shareholder has elected to
  2  1 take advantage of this subparagraph, and for the next tax year
  2  2 elects not to take advantage of this subparagraph, the
  2  3 resident shareholder shall not reelect to take advantage of
  2  4 this subparagraph for the three tax years immediately
  2  5 following the first tax year for which the shareholder elected
  2  6 not to take advantage of this subparagraph, unless the
  2  7 director consents to the reelection.  This subparagraph also
  2  8 applies to individuals who are residents of Iowa for less than
  2  9 the entire tax year.
  2 10    This subparagraph shall not affect the amount of the
  2 11 taxpayer's checkoff to the Iowa election campaign fund under
  2 12 section 56.18, the checkoff for the fish and game fund in
  2 13 section 456A.16, the credits from tax provided in sections
  2 14 422.10, 422.11A, and 422.12 and the allocation of these
  2 15 credits between spouses if the taxpayers filed separate
  2 16 returns or separately on combined returns.
  2 17    Sec. 3.  Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph k,
  2 18 unnumbered paragraph 1, Code 2003, is amended to read as
  2 19 follows:
  2 20    There is imposed upon every resident and nonresident of
  2 21 this state, including estates and trusts, the greater of the
  2 22 tax determined in paragraphs "a" through "c" and "j" or the
  2 23 state alternative minimum tax equal to seventy-five percent of
  2 24 the maximum state individual income tax rate for the tax year,
  2 25 rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one percent, of the state
  2 26 alternative minimum taxable income of the taxpayer as computed
  2 27 under this paragraph.
  2 28    Sec. 4.  Section 422.5, subsection 2, Code 2003, is amended
  2 29 to read as follows:
  2 30    2.  However, the tax shall not be imposed on a resident or
  2 31 nonresident whose net income, as defined in section 422.7, is
  2 32 thirteen fifteen thousand five hundred dollars or less in the
  2 33 case of married persons filing jointly or filing separately on
  2 34 a combined return, unmarried heads of household, and surviving
  2 35 spouses or nine eleven thousand dollars or less in the case of
  3  1 all other persons; but in the event that the payment of tax
  3  2 under this division would reduce the net income to less than
  3  3 thirteen fifteen thousand five hundred dollars or nine eleven
  3  4 thousand dollars as applicable, then the tax shall be reduced
  3  5 to that amount which would result in allowing the taxpayer to
  3  6 retain a net income of thirteen fifteen thousand five hundred
  3  7 dollars or nine eleven thousand dollars as applicable.  The
  3  8 preceding sentence does not apply to estates or trusts.  For
  3  9 the purpose of this subsection, the entire net income,
  3 10 including any part of the net income not allocated to Iowa,
  3 11 shall be taken into account.  For purposes of this subsection,
  3 12 net income includes all amounts of pensions or other
  3 13 retirement income received from any source which is not
  3 14 taxable under this division as a result of the government
  3 15 pension exclusions in section 422.7, or any other state law.
  3 16 If the combined net income of a husband and wife exceeds
  3 17 thirteen fifteen thousand five hundred dollars, neither of
  3 18 them shall receive the benefit of this subsection, and it is
  3 19 immaterial whether they file a joint return or separate
  3 20 returns.  However, if a husband and wife file separate returns
  3 21 and have a combined net income of thirteen fifteen thousand
  3 22 five hundred dollars or less, neither spouse shall receive the
  3 23 benefit of this paragraph, if one spouse has a net operating
  3 24 loss and elects to carry back or carry forward the loss as
  3 25 provided in section 422.9, subsection 3.  A person who is
  3 26 claimed as a dependent by another person as defined in section
  3 27 422.12 shall not receive the benefit of this subsection if the
  3 28 person claiming the dependent has net income exceeding
  3 29 thirteen fifteen thousand five hundred dollars or nine eleven
  3 30 thousand dollars as applicable or the person claiming the
  3 31 dependent and the person's spouse have combined net income
  3 32 exceeding thirteen fifteen thousand five hundred dollars or
  3 33 nine eleven thousand dollars as applicable.
  3 34    In addition, if the married persons', filing jointly or
  3 35 filing separately on a combined return, unmarried head of
  4  1 household's, or surviving spouse's net income exceeds thirteen
  4  2 fifteen thousand five hundred dollars, the regular tax imposed
  4  3 under this division shall be the lesser of the maximum state
  4  4 individual income tax rate product of eight percent times the
  4  5 portion of the net income in excess of thirteen fifteen
  4  6 thousand five hundred dollars or the regular tax liability
  4  7 computed without regard to this sentence.  Taxpayers electing
  4  8 to file separately shall compute the alternate tax described
  4  9 in this paragraph using the total net income of the husband
  4 10 and wife.  The alternate tax described in this paragraph does
  4 11 not apply if one spouse elects to carry back or carry forward
  4 12 the loss as provided in section 422.9, subsection 3.
  4 13    Sec. 5.  Section 422.5, subsection 5, Code 2003, is amended
  4 14 to read as follows:
  4 15    5.  Upon determination of the latest cumulative inflation
  4 16 factor, the director shall multiply each dollar amount set
  4 17 forth in subsection 1, paragraphs "a" through "i" "c" of this
  4 18 section by this cumulative inflation factor, shall round off
  4 19 the resulting product to the nearest one dollar, and shall
  4 20 incorporate the result into the income tax forms and
  4 21 instructions for each tax year.
  4 22    Sec. 6.  Section 422.11B, Code 2003, is amended to read as
  4 23 follows:
  4 24    422.11B  MINIMUM TAX CREDIT.
  4 25    1.  There is allowed as a credit against the tax determined
  4 26 in section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraphs "a" through "c" and
  4 27 "j" for a tax year an amount equal to the minimum tax credit
  4 28 for that tax year.
  4 29    The minimum tax credit for a tax year is the excess, if
  4 30 any, of the adjusted net minimum tax imposed for all prior tax
  4 31 years beginning on or after January 1, 1987, over the amount
  4 32 allowable as a credit under this section for those prior tax
  4 33 years.
  4 34    2.  The allowable credit under subsection 1 for a tax year
  4 35 shall not exceed the excess, if any, of the tax determined in
  5  1 section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraphs "a" through "c" and
  5  2 "j" over the state alternative minimum tax as determined in
  5  3 section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph "k".
  5  4    The net minimum tax for a tax year is the excess, if any,
  5  5 of the tax determined in section 422.5, subsection 1,
  5  6 paragraph "k" for the tax year over the tax determined in
  5  7 section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraphs "a" through "c" and
  5  8 "j" for the tax year.
  5  9    The adjusted net minimum tax for a tax year is the net
  5 10 minimum tax for the tax year reduced by the amount which would
  5 11 be the net minimum tax if the only item of tax preference
  5 12 taken into account was that described in paragraph (6) of
  5 13 section 57(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
  5 14    Sec. 7.  INCOME TAX IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE.
  5 15    1.  On or before July 1, 2003, the department of revenue
  5 16 and finance, in consultation with the department of
  5 17 management, shall initiate and coordinate the establishment of
  5 18 an income tax implementation committee and provide staffing
  5 19 assistance by the committee.  The income tax implementation
  5 20 committee shall include representatives of the general
  5 21 assembly, the department of revenue and finance, the
  5 22 department of management, business tax groups, businesses in
  5 23 Iowa, groups representing Iowa taxpayers, certified public
  5 24 accountants, members of the general public, and other
  5 25 appropriate stakeholders.
  5 26    2.  The committee shall study and make recommendations
  5 27 relating to the imposition of new income tax rates, filing
  5 28 threshold, alternative minimum tax, treatment of current
  5 29 exemptions, credits, and deductions.  The committee shall also
  5 30 consider alternate sources of revenue for the general fund of
  5 31 the state to replace revenue as a result from general tax
  5 32 relief as provided for in this bill, including but not limited
  5 33 to, sales and use taxes.
  5 34    3.  The committee shall submit to the general assembly by
  5 35 January 1, 2004, and January 1, 2005, a report for each of
  6  1 those years resolving issues in subsection 2, and other
  6  2 related issues for implementation of the other provisions in
  6  3 this Act.
  6  4    Sec. 8.  CONTINGENT EFFECTIVE AND APPLICABILITY DATE.
  6  5    1.  Except as provided in subsection 3, this Act takes
  6  6 effect upon ratification of an amendment to the Constitution
  6  7 of the State of Iowa requiring a three-fifths majority vote of
  6  8 each house of the general assembly in order to pass a bill
  6  9 that amends the state income tax or the state sales and use
  6 10 taxes by raising the rate or rates of the income tax or sales
  6 11 and use taxes.
  6 12    2.  If this Act takes effect as provided in subsection 1,
  6 13 this Act applies to tax years beginning on or after January 1
  6 14 following the effective date of this Act.
  6 15    3.  The section of this Act relating to the establishment
  6 16 of the income tax implementation committee, being deemed of
  6 17 immediate importance, takes effect up enactment.
