422.60  Imposition of tax--credit.

1.  A franchise tax according to and measured by net income is imposed on financial institutions for the privilege of doing business in this state as financial institutions.

2.  In addition to all taxes imposed under this division, there is imposed upon each financial institution doing business within the state the greater of the tax determined in section 422.63 or the state alternative minimum tax equal to sixty percent of the maximum state franchise tax rate, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one percent, of the state alternative minimum taxable income of the taxpayer computed under this subsection.

The state alternative minimum taxable income of a taxpayer is equal to the taxpayer's state taxable income as computed with the adjustments in section 422.61, subsection 3, and with the following adjustments:

a.  Add items of tax preference included in federal alternative minimum taxable income under section 57, except subsections (a)(1) and (a)(5), of the Internal Revenue Code, make the adjustments included in federal alternative minimum taxable income under section 56, except subsections (a)(4), (c)(1), (d), (f), and (g), of the Internal Revenue Code, and add losses as required by section 58 of the Internal Revenue Code.

b.  Make the adjustments provided in section 56(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that in making the calculation under sections 56(f)(1) and 56(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code the state alternative minimum taxable income, computed without regard to the adjustments made by this paragraph, the exemption provided for in paragraph "d", and the state alternative tax net operating loss described in paragraph "e", shall be substituted for the items described in sections 56(f)(1)(B) and 56(g)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code.

c.  Apply the allocation and apportionment provisions of section 422.63.

d.  Subtract an exemption amount of forty thousand dollars. This exemption amount shall be reduced, but not below zero, by an amount equal to twenty-five percent of the amount by which the alternative minimum taxable income of the taxpayer, computed without regard to the exemption amount in this paragraph, exceeds one hundred fifty thousand dollars.

e.  In the case of a net operating loss beginning after December 31, 1986 which is carried back or carried forward to the current taxable year, the net operating loss shall be reduced by the amount of items of tax preference and adjustments arising in the tax year which was taken into account in computing the net operating loss in section 422.35, subsection 11. The deduction for a net operating loss for a tax year beginning after December 31, 1986 which is carried back or carried forward to the current taxable year shall not exceed ninety percent of the alternative minimum taxable income determined without regard for the net operating loss deduction.

3. a.  There is allowed as a credit against the tax determined in section 422.63 for a tax year an amount equal to the minimum tax credit for that tax year.

b.  The allowable credit under paragraph "a" for a tax year shall not exceed the excess, if any, of the tax determined in section 422.63 over the state alternative minimum tax as determined in subsection 2.

The minimum tax credit for a tax year is the excess, if any, of the adjusted net minimum tax imposed for all prior tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1987, over the amount allowable as a credit under this subsection for those prior tax years.

The net minimum tax for a tax year is the excess, if any, of the tax determined in subsection 2 for the tax year over the tax determined in section 422.63 for the tax year.

The adjusted net minimum tax for a tax year is the net minimum tax for the tax year reduced by the amount which would be the net minimum tax if the only item of tax preference taken into account was that described in paragraph (6) of section 57(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
