  3 32                           EXPLANATION
  3 33    This bill updates the references to the Internal Revenue
  3 34 Code to make the federal income tax revisions enacted by
  3 35 Congress in 2003 applicable for Iowa income tax purposes.
  4  1    Code sections 15.335, 15A.9, 422.10, and 422.33 are amended
  4  2 to update the Iowa Code references to the state research
  4  3 activities credit for individuals, corporations, corporations
  4  4 in economic development areas, and corporations in quality
  4  5 jobs enterprise zones to include the 2003 federal changes in
  4  6 the research activities credit.
  4  7    The bill amends Code sections 422.7 and 422.35 to couple
  4  8 with the changes to the bonus depreciation deduction enacted
  4  9 in the federal Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act
  4 10 of 2003 (Pub. L. No. 108=27).  However, the bonus depreciation
  4 11 of 50 percent allowed in that law would only be allowed for
  4 12 state income tax purposes for qualified property acquired
  4 13 after December 31, 2003, and before January 1, 2005.
  4 14    The bill is retroactively applicable to January 1, 2003,
  4 15 for tax years beginning on or after that date.  The provisions
  4 16 of the bill coupling with the changes to the federal bonus
  4 17 depreciation apply retroactively to tax years ending after May
  4 18 5, 2003.
  4 19    The bill takes effect upon enactment.
