7 34 Sec. 10. Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph j, Code
7 35 Supplement 2003, is amended to read as follows:
8 1 j. (1) The tax imposed upon the taxable income of a
8 2 nonresident shall be computed by reducing the amount
8 3 determined pursuant to paragraphs "a" through "i" by the
8 4 amounts of nonrefundable credits under this division and by
8 5 multiplying this resulting amount by a fraction of which the
8 6 nonresident's net income allocated to Iowa, as determined in
8 7 section 422.8, subsection 2, paragraph "a", is the numerator
8 8 and the nonresident's total net income computed under section
8 9 422.7 is the denominator. This provision also applies to
8 10 individuals who are residents of Iowa for less than the entire
8 11 tax year.
8 12 (2) The tax imposed upon the taxable income of a resident
8 13 shareholder in an S corporation which has in effect for the
8 14 tax year an election under subchapter S of the Internal
8 15 Revenue Code and carries on business within and without the
8 16 state may be computed by reducing the amount determined
8 17 pursuant to paragraphs "a" through "i" by the amounts of
8 18 nonrefundable credits under this division and by multiplying
8 19 this resulting amount by a fraction of which the resident's
8 20 net income allocated to Iowa, as determined in section 422.8,
8 21 subsection 2, paragraph "b", is the numerator and the
8 22 resident's total net income computed under section 422.7 is
8 23 the denominator. If a resident shareholder has elected to
8 24 take advantage of this subparagraph, and for the next tax year
8 25 elects not to take advantage of this subparagraph, the
8 26 resident shareholder shall not reelect to take advantage of
8 27 this subparagraph for the three tax years immediately
8 28 following the first tax year for which the shareholder elected
8 29 not to take advantage of this subparagraph, unless the
8 30 director consents to the reelection. This subparagraph also
8 31 applies to individuals who are residents of Iowa for less than
8 32 the entire tax year.
8 33 This subparagraph shall not affect the amount of the
8 34 taxpayer's checkoff to the Iowa election campaign fund under
8 35 section 68A.601, the checkoff for the fish and game fund in
9 1 section 456A.16, the credits from tax provided in sections
9 2 422.10, 422.11A, and 422.12 and the allocation of these
9 3 credits between spouses if the taxpayers filed separate
9 4 returns or separately on combined returns.
9 5 Sec. 11. Section 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph k,
9 6 unnumbered paragraph 4, Code Supplement 2003, is amended to
9 7 read as follows:
9 8 In the case of a resident, including a resident estate or
9 9 trust, the state's apportioned share of the state alternative
9 10 minimum tax is one hundred percent of the state alternative
9 11 minimum tax computed in this subsection. In the case of a
9 12 resident or part=year resident shareholder in an S corporation
9 13 which has in effect for the tax year an election under
9 14 subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and carries on
9 15 business within and without the state, a nonresident,
9 16 including a nonresident estate or trust, or an individual,
9 17 estate, or trust that is domiciled in the state for less than
9 18 the entire tax year, the state's apportioned share of the
9 19 state alternative minimum tax is the amount of tax computed
9 20 under this subsection, reduced by the applicable credits in
9 21 sections 422.10 through 422.12 and this result multiplied by a
9 22 fraction with a numerator of the sum of state net income
9 23 allocated to Iowa as determined in section 422.8, subsection
9 24 2, paragraph "a" or "b" as applicable, plus tax preference
9 25 items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph (1)
9 26 attributable to Iowa and with a denominator of the sum of
9 27 total net income computed under section 422.7 plus all tax
9 28 preference items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph
9 29 (1). In computing this fraction, those items excludable under
9 30 subparagraph (1) shall not be used in computing the tax
9 31 preference items. Married taxpayers electing to file separate
9 32 returns or separately on a combined return must allocate the
9 33 minimum tax computed in this subsection in the proportion that
9 34 each spouse's respective preference items, adjustments, and
9 35 losses under subparagraph (1) bear to the combined preference
10 1 items, adjustments, and losses under subparagraph (1) of both
10 2 spouses.
10 3 Sec. 12. Section 422.7, subsection 21, Code Supplement
10 4 2003, is amended by striking the subsection.
10 5 Sec. 13. Section 422.8, subsection 2, Code Supplement
10 6 2003, is amended to read as follows:
10 7 2. a. Nonresident's net income allocated to Iowa is the
10 8 net income, or portion of net income, which is derived from a
10 9 business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on within
10 10 this state or income from any property, trust, estate, or
10 11 other source within Iowa. However, income derived from a
10 12 business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on within
10 13 this state and income from any property, trust, estate, or
10 14 other source within Iowa shall not include distributions from
10 15 pensions, including defined benefit or defined contribution
10 16 plans, annuities, individual retirement accounts, and deferred
10 17 compensation plans or any earnings attributable thereto so
10 18 long as the distribution is directly related to an
10 19 individual's documented retirement and received while the
10 20 individual is a nonresident of this state. If a business,
10 21 trade, profession, or occupation is carried on partly within
10 22 and partly without the state, only the portion of the net
10 23 income which is fairly and equitably attributable to that part
10 24 of the business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on
10 25 within the state is allocated to Iowa for purposes of section
10 26 422.5, subsection 1, paragraph "j", and section 422.13 and
10 27 income from any property, trust, estate, or other source
10 28 partly within and partly without the state is allocated to
10 29 Iowa in the same manner, except that annuities, interest on
10 30 bank deposits and interest=bearing obligations, and dividends
10 31 are allocated to Iowa only to the extent to which they are
10 32 derived from a business, trade, profession, or occupation
10 33 carried on within the state.
10 34 b. A resident's income allocable to Iowa is the income
10 35 determined under section 422.7 reduced by items of income and
11 1 expenses from an S corporation that carries on business within
11 2 and without the state when those items of income and expenses
11 3 pass directly to the shareholders under provisions of the
11 4 Internal Revenue Code. These items of income and expenses are
11 5 increased by the greater of the following:
11 6 (1) The net income or loss of the corporation which is
11 7 fairly and equitably attributable to this state under section
11 8 422.33, subsections 2 and 3.
11 9 (2) Any cash or the value of property distributions which
11 10 are made only to the extent that they are paid from income
11 11 upon which Iowa income tax has not been paid, as determined
11 12 under rules of the director, reduced by the amount of any of
11 13 these distributions that are made to enable the shareholder to
11 14 pay federal income tax on items of income, loss, and expenses
11 15 from the corporation.
11 16 Sec. 14. Section 422.8, subsection 6, Code Supplement
11 17 2003, is amended by striking the subsection.
11 18 Sec. 15. Section 422.37, Code 2003, is amended by striking
11 19 the section and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
11 20 422.37 COMBINED RETURNS.
11 21 An affiliated group of corporations shall, under rules
11 22 prescribed by the director, file a combined return showing the
11 23 net income of all corporations engaged in a unitary business,
11 24 subject to the following:
11 25 1. The affiliated group filing under this section shall
11 26 meet the requirements to file a consolidated return for
11 27 federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code
11 28 for the same taxable year.
11 29 2. All members of the affiliated group shall join in the
11 30 filing of an Iowa combined return to the extent they are
11 31 engaged in a unitary business.
11 32 3. Members of the affiliated group exempt from taxation by
11 33 section 422.34 shall not be included in a combined return.
11 34 4. All members of the affiliated group shall use the
11 35 statutory method of allocation and apportionment unless the
12 1 director has granted permission to all members to use an
12 2 alternative method of allocation and apportionment.
12 3 5. The computation of federal taxable income before the
12 4 net operating loss deduction on a combined return for members
12 5 of an affiliated group shall be made in the same manner and
12 6 under the same procedures, including all intercompany
12 7 adjustments and eliminations, as are required for
12 8 consolidating the incomes of affiliated corporations for the
12 9 taxable year for federal income tax purposes in accordance
12 10 with the Internal Revenue Code.
12 11 6. The combined income approach reflects the federal
12 12 taxable income of the unitary members of the Iowa affiliated
12 13 group as a single economic unit, with the application of the
12 14 adjustments in section 422.35, and the affiliated group shall
12 15 only file one income tax return. Any nonunitary members of
12 16 the federal affiliated group subject to tax imposed by section
12 17 422.33 must each file its own separate corporate income tax
12 18 return. The net income of an affiliated group is determined
12 19 by applying the apportionment formula against the combined
12 20 income of the affiliated group.
12 21 7. Only the sales of those corporations in the affiliated
12 22 group subject to the tax imposed by section 422.33 are
12 23 included in the numerator of the apportionment formula.
12 24 8. Only those corporations in the affiliated group subject
12 25 to the tax imposed by section 422.33 are jointly and severally
12 26 liable for the Iowa tax of the combined group.
12 27 Sec. 16. EFFECTIVE AND APPLICABILITY DATES. This division

17 10 REPEAL OF NEW TAX INCENTIVE CREDIT AND REFUND
17 11 Sec. 33. 2004 Iowa Acts, Senate File 2290, is repealed.
17 12 Sec. 34. EFFECTIVE DATE. This division of this Act, being
17 13 deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.
17 14 EXPLANATION
17 15 This bill provides for a number of changes relating to
17 16 education funding.
17 17 The bill establishes a state percent of growth of 6 percent
17 18 for purposes of the state school foundation program for the
17 19 school budget year beginning July 1, 2004, which would be an
17 20 increase of 4 percent from the 2 percent level presently
17 21 specified in Code section 257.8 for that budget year.
17 22 The bill appropriates moneys for fiscal year 2004=2005 from
17 23 the general fund of the state to the college student aid
17 24 commission, the department of education and the state board of
17 25 regents and its institutions, and amends statutory provisions
17 26 to increase state aid to the college student aid commission
17 27 for tuition grants.
17 28 The bill appropriates moneys to the department of education
17 29 for distribution to community colleges. The bill also amends
17 30 Code language to increase statutory appropriations for at=risk
17 31 children programs administered by the child development
17 32 coordinating council.
17 33 The bill appropriates moneys to the state board of regents
17 34 for the board office, tuition replacement, the southwest Iowa
17 35 graduate studies center, the tristate graduate center, the
18 1 quad=cities graduate studies center, the state university of
18 2 Iowa, Iowa state university of science and technology, the
18 3 university of northern Iowa, the Iowa school for the deaf, the
18 4 Iowa braille and sight saving school, and for tuition and
18 5 transportation costs for students residing in the Iowa braille
18 6 and sight saving school, and the Iowa school for the deaf.
18 7 The bill increases the individual income tax rates back to
18 8 what they were prior to the 10 percent reduction first
18 9 applicable to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1998.
18 10 Thus, the rates are increased from the current range of 0.36
18 11 percent to 8.98 percent to a range of 0.40 percent to 9.98
18 12 percent. The bill eliminates the deduction for certain
18 13 capital gains and the limitation of the taxing of resident
18 14 shareholders' income from S corporations to that income
18 15 derived from sales in the state. The income tax rate increase
18 16 applies beginning with the 2005 tax year. The other
18 17 provisions apply retroactively beginning with the 2004 tax
18 18 year.
18 19 The bill requires that the net income of affiliated groups
18 20 of corporations engaged in a unitary business be computed on a
18 21 combined return basis for corporate tax purposes. The
18 22 affiliated group would include corporations with common
18 23 ownership whereby one or more corporations own 80 percent or
18 24 more of another corporation. The bill would require that one
18 25 Iowa corporate income tax return be filed that would include
18 26 all unitary members of an affiliated group. Any nonunitary
18 27 member that is subject to Iowa tax would file its own separate
18 28 corporate return. Only Iowa sales of those corporations doing
18 29 business in Iowa would be included in the numerator of the
18 30 Iowa sales ratio. The bill also provides that only those
18 31 corporations doing business in Iowa are jointly and severally
18 32 liable for the tax of the combined return. This provision
18 33 applies retroactively to January 1, 2004, for tax years
18 34 beginning on or after that date.
18 35 The bill limits the sales and use tax exemption for
19 1 nonprofit hospitals to those located in a county with a
19 2 population of not more than 50,000. In addition, the bill
19 3 strikes the sales and use tax exemptions for sales of argon
19 4 gas, of aircraft and aircraft parts, of automobiles purchased
19 5 for lease, of various items and materials used in printing,
19 6 and sales delivered electromagnetically, over cable, or by
19 7 fiber optics. In addition, the sales tax holiday provision,
19 8 during which sales tax is not imposed on certain items, is
19 9 stricken.
19 10 The bill increases the gross premiums tax on life and
19 11 property insurance companies, and state and county mutual
19 12 insurance associations to 2 percent. This was the rate prior
19 13 to the phased reduction in the rate from 2 percent to 1
19 14 percent enacted in 2002 and 2003. Also, the requirement of
19 15 additional prepayment of the premiums tax which was enacted
19 16 with the reduction in tax rates is stricken.
19 17 The bill transfers $7 million to the general fund of the
19 18 state for FY 2004=2005 of use tax revenues collected which
19 19 were to be credited to the road use tax fund.
19 20 The bill provides for the deletion of a provision which
19 21 reduces funding for area education agencies for the fiscal
19 22 year beginning July 1, 2002, and each succeeding fiscal year,
19 23 by $7.5 million. This would result in the elimination of
19 24 funding reductions for area education agencies for the fiscal
19 25 year beginning July 1, 2004, totaling $17.5 million, when the
19 26 reduction in funding for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
19 27 2003, of $10 million pursuant to Code section 257.35,
19 28 subsection 3, is taken into account.
19 29 The bill repeals S.F. 2290, which was passed during the
19 30 2004 session. Senate File 2290 provides an additional
19 31 incentive for corporations for new job creation under existing
19 32 programs. The incentives would apply to corporations,
19 33 creating the new jobs, that are leasing property constructed
19 34 by another. The incentive is a refund of the amount of sales
19 35 tax paid by the lessor on materials used in such construction
20 1 or corporate tax credit equal to such sales tax amount. This
20 2 repeal takes effect upon enactment.
