     1  6    13.  a.  Subtract, to the extent included, the
     1  7 amount of additional social security benefits taxable
     1  8 under the Internal Revenue Code for tax years

     1 10 social security benefits taxable as provided in
     1 11 section 86 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended up
     1 12 to and including January 1, 1993, with the adjustments
     1 13 in paragraph "b", continues to apply for state income
     1 14 tax purposes for tax years beginning on or after
     1 15 January 1, 1994.  Married taxpayers, who file a joint
     1 16 federal income tax return and who elect to file
     1 17 separate returns or who elect separate filing on a
     1 18 combined return for state income tax purposes, shall
     1 19 allocate between the spouses the amount of benefits
     1 20 subtracted from net income in the ratio of the social
     1 21 security benefits received by each spouse to the total
     1 22 of these benefits received by both spouses.
     1 23    b.  In computing the amount of taxable social
     1 24 security benefits under paragraph "a" for tax years
     1 25 beginning on or after January 1, 2007, the term "base
     1 26 amount" in section 86 of the Internal Revenue Code, as
     1 27 amended up to and including January 1, 1993, means one
     1 28 of the following:
     1 29    (1)  Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs
     1 30 (2) and (3), thirty thousand dollars.
     1 31    (2)  In the case of a joint return, thirty=eight
     1 32 thousand four hundred dollars.
     1 33    (3)  In the case of a taxpayer who is married but

     1 38 calendar year and for each subsequent tax year, the
     1 39 adjusted base dollar amounts set forth in paragraph
     1 40 "b" shall be multiplied by the cumulative adjustment
     1 41 factor for that tax year.  "Cumulative adjustment
     1 42 factor" means the product of the annual adjustment
     1 43 factor for the 2007 calendar year and all annual
     1 44 adjustment factors for subsequent calendar years.  The
     1 45 cumulative adjustment factor applies to the tax year
     1 46 beginning in the calendar year for which the latest
     1 47 annual adjustment factor has been determined.
     1 48    (2)  The annual adjustment factor for the 2007
     1 49 calendar year is one hundred percent.  For each
     1 50 subsequent calendar year, the annual adjustment factor
     2  1 equals the annual inflation factor for the calendar
     2  2 year, in which the tax year begins, as computed in
     2  3 section 422.4 for purposes of the individual income
     2  4 tax.>
