House Amendment 8005


PAG LIN




     1  1    Amend House File 2045 as follows:
     1  2 #1.  By striking everything after the enacting
     1  3 clause and inserting the following:
     1  4    <Section 1.  Section 422.5, Code 2005, is amended
     1  5 by adding the following new subsection:
     1  6    NEW SUBSECTION.  2A.  However, the tax shall not be
     1  7 imposed on a resident or nonresident who is at least
     1  8 sixty=five years old on December 31 of the tax year
     1  9 and whose net income, as defined in section 422.7, is
     1 10 forty=eight thousand dollars or less in the case of
     1 11 married persons filing jointly or filing separately on
     1 12 a combined return thirty=six thousand dollars or less
     1 13 in the case of all other persons; but in the event
     1 14 that the payment of tax under this division would
     1 15 reduce the net income to less than forty=eight
     1 16 thousand dollars or thirty=six thousand dollars as
     1 17 applicable, then the tax shall be reduced to that
     1 18 amount which would result in allowing the taxpayer to
     1 19 retain a net income of forty=eight thousand dollars or
     1 20 thirty=six thousand dollars as applicable.  The
     1 21 preceding sentence does not apply to estates or
     1 22 trusts.  For the purpose of this subsection, the
     1 23 entire net income, including any part of the net
     1 24 income not allocated to Iowa, shall be taken into
     1 25 account.  For purposes of this subsection, net income
     1 26 includes all amounts of pensions or other retirement
     1 27 income received from any source which is not taxable
     1 28 under this division as a result of the government
     1 29 pension exclusions in section 422.7, or any other
     1 30 state law.  If the combined net income of a husband
     1 31 and wife exceeds forty=eight thousand dollars, neither
     1 32 of them shall receive the benefit of this subsection,
     1 33 and it is immaterial whether they file a joint return
     1 34 or separate returns.  However, if a husband and wife
     1 35 file separate returns and have a combined net income
     1 36 of forty=eight thousand dollars or less, neither
     1 37 spouse shall receive the benefit of this paragraph, if
     1 38 one spouse has a net operating loss and elects to
     1 39 carry back or carry forward the loss as provided in
     1 40 section 422.9, subsection 3.  A person who is claimed
     1 41 as a dependent by another person as defined in section
     1 42 422.12 shall not receive the benefit of this
     1 43 subsection if the person claiming the dependent has
     1 44 net income exceeding forty=eight thousand dollars or
     1 45 thirty=six thousand dollars as applicable or the
     1 46 person claiming the dependent and the person's spouse
     1 47 have combined net income exceeding forty=eight
     1 48 thousand dollars or thirty=six thousand dollars as
     1 49 applicable.
     1 50    In addition, if the married persons', filing
     2  1 jointly or filing separately on a combined return, net
     2  2 income exceeds forty=eight thousand dollars, the
     2  3 regular tax imposed under this division shall be the
     2  4 lesser of the maximum state individual income tax rate
     2  5 times the portion of the net income in excess of
     2  6 forty=eight thousand dollars or the regular tax
     2  7 liability computed without regard to this sentence.
     2  8 Taxpayers electing to file separately shall compute
     2  9 the alternate tax described in this paragraph using
     2 10 the total net income of the husband and wife.  The
     2 11 alternate tax described in this paragraph does not
     2 12 apply if one spouse elects to carry back or carry
     2 13 forward the loss as provided in section 422.9,
     2 14 subsection 3.
     2 15    This subsection applies even though one spouse has
     2 16 not attained the age of sixty=five, if the other
     2 17 spouse is at least sixty=five at the end of the tax
     2 18 year.
     2 19    Sec. 2.  Section 422.5, subsection 7, Code 2005, is
     2 20 amended to read as follows:
     2 21    7.  In addition to the other taxes imposed by this
     2 22 section, a tax is imposed on the amount of a lump sum
     2 23 distribution for which the taxpayer has elected under
     2 24 section 402(e) of the Internal Revenue Code to be
     2 25 separately taxed for federal income tax purposes for
     2 26 the tax year.  The rate of tax is equal to twenty=five
     2 27 percent of the separate federal tax imposed on the
     2 28 amount of the lump sum distribution.  A nonresident is
     2 29 liable for this tax only on that portion of the lump
     2 30 sum distribution allocable to Iowa.  The total amount
     2 31 of the lump sum distribution subject to separate
     2 32 federal tax shall be included in net income for
     2 33 purposes of determining eligibility under the thirteen
     2 34 thousand five hundred dollar or less or nine thousand
     2 35 dollar or less exclusion, as applicable subsections 2
     2 36 and 2A.
     2 37    Sec. 3.  EFFECTIVE AND APPLICABILITY DATE.  This
     2 38 Act takes effect January 1, 2007, and applies to tax
     2 39 years beginning on or after that date.>
