Bill Text

PAG LIN
  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 5, Code 2003, is amended
  2 29 to read as follows:
  2 30    5.  Upon determination of the latest cumulative inflation
  2 31 factor, the director shall multiply each dollar amount set
  2 32 forth in subsection 1, paragraphs "a" through "i" "c" of this
  2 33 section by this cumulative inflation factor, shall round off
  2 34 the resulting product to the nearest one dollar, and shall
  2 35 incorporate the result into the income tax forms and
  3  1 instructions for each tax year.
  3  2    Sec. 5.  Section 422.11B, Code 2003, is amended to read as
  3  3 follows:
  3  4    422.11B  MINIMUM TAX CREDIT.
  3  5    1.  There is allowed as a credit against the tax determined
  3  6 in section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraphs "a" through "c" and
  3  7 "j" for a tax year an amount equal to the minimum tax credit
  3  8 for that tax year.
  3  9    The minimum tax credit for a tax year is the excess, if
  3 10 any, of the adjusted net minimum tax imposed for all prior tax
  3 11 years beginning on or after January 1, 1987, over the amount
  3 12 allowable as a credit under this section for those prior tax
  3 13 years.
  3 14    2.  The allowable credit under subsection 1 for a tax year
  3 15 shall not exceed the excess, if any, of the tax determined in
  3 16 section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraphs "a" through "c" and
  3 17 "j" over the state alternative minimum tax as determined in
  3 18 section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph "k".
  3 19    The net minimum tax for a tax year is the excess, if any,
  3 20 of the tax determined in section 422.5, subsection 1,
  3 21 paragraph "k" for the tax year over the tax determined in
  3 22 section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraphs "a" through "c" and
  3 23 "j" for the tax year.
  3 24    The adjusted net minimum tax for a tax year is the net
  3 25 minimum tax for the tax year reduced by the amount which would
  3 26 be the net minimum tax if the only item of tax preference
  3 27 taken into account was that described in paragraph (6) of
  3 28 section 57(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
  3 29    Sec. 6.  CONTINGENT EFFECTIVE AND APPLICABILITY DATE.
  3 30    1.  This Act takes effect upon ratification of an amendment
  3 31 to the Constitution of the State of Iowa requiring a three-
  3 32 fifths majority vote of each house of the general assembly in
  3 33 order to pass a bill that amends the state income tax or the
  3 34 state sales and use taxes by raising the rate or rates of the
  3 35 income tax or sales and use taxes.
  4  1    2.  If this Act takes effect as provided in subsection 1,
  4  2 this Act applies to tax years ending after the effective date
  4  3 of this Act.  
  4  4                           EXPLANATION
