(6) Deduct the amount of wages and salaries, if any, not 45

allowable as a deduction in computing federal adjusted gross 47

S. B. No. 89 As Introduced

allowed and determined under sections 38, 51, and 52 of the 49

gross income for the taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid 66
during the taxable year for medical care insurance and qualified 67

spouse, and dependents. No deduction for medical care insurance 69
under division (A)(10)(a) of this section shall be allowed 70
either to any taxpayer who is eligible to participate in any 71
subsidized health plan maintained by any employer of the 72
taxpayer or of the taxpayer's spouse, or to any taxpayer who is 73
entitled to, or on application would be entitled to, benefits 74
under part A of Title XVIII of the "Social Security Act," 49 75
Stat. 620 (1935), 42 U.S.C. 301, as amended. For the purposes of 76
division (A)(10)(a) of this section, "subsidized health plan" 77

dependents, to the extent the expenses exceed seven and one-half 88
per cent of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income. 89
(c) For purposes of division (A)(10) of this section, 90

of the Internal Revenue Code. Solely for purposes of division 95
(A)(10)(a) of this section, "dependent" includes a person who 96
otherwise would be a "qualifying relative" and thus a 97
"dependent" under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code but 98
for the fact that the person fails to meet the income and 99
support limitations under section 152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the 100
Internal Revenue Code. 101
(11)(a) Deduct any amount included in federal adjusted 102

States department of the treasury regulations. The deduction 107
otherwise allowed under division (A)(11)(a) of this section 108

S. B. No. 89 As Introduced

shall be reduced to the extent the reimbursement is attributable 109
to an amount the taxpayer deducted under this section in any 110

amount deducted or excluded in computing federal or Ohio 115
adjusted gross income in any taxable year. 116
(12) Deduct any portion of the deduction described in 117
section 1341(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, for repaying 118
previously reported income received under a claim of right, that 119
meets both of the following requirements: 120
(a) It is allowable for repayment of an item that was 121
included in the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for a prior 122
taxable year and did not qualify for a credit under division (A) 123
or (B) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for that year; 124
(b) It does not otherwise reduce the taxpayer's adjusted 125
gross income for the current or any other taxable year. 126
(13) Deduct an amount equal to the deposits made to, and 127
net investment earnings of, a medical savings account during the 128
taxable year, in accordance with section 3924.66 of the Revised 129
Code. The deduction allowed by division (A)(13) of this section 130
does not apply to medical savings account deposits and earnings 131
otherwise deducted or excluded for the current or any other 132
taxable year from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income. 133
(14)(a) Add an amount equal to the funds withdrawn from a 134
medical savings account during the taxable year, and the net 135
investment earnings on those funds, when the funds withdrawn 136
were used for any purpose other than to reimburse an account 137

Code during the taxable year. 142
(15) Add any amount claimed as a credit under section 143
5747.059 of the Revised Code to the extent that such amount 144
satisfies either of the following: 145
(a) The amount was deducted or excluded from the 146
computation of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income as 147
required to be reported for the taxpayer's taxable year under 148
the Internal Revenue Code; 149
(b) The amount resulted in a reduction of the taxpayer's 150
federal adjusted gross income as required to be reported for any 151
of the taxpayer's taxable years under the Internal Revenue Code. 152
(16) Deduct the amount contributed by the taxpayer to an 153
individual development account program established by a county 154
department of job and family services pursuant to sections 155
329.11 to 329.14 of the Revised Code for the purpose of matching 156
funds deposited by program participants. On request of the tax 157

in the tax commissioner's opinion, is necessary to establish the 159
amount deducted under division (A)(16) of this section. 160

increase in income taxes withheld by the taxpayer is equal to or 178

Revenue Code and by qualifying section 179 depreciation expense, 199
"the entire" shall be substituted for "five-sixths of the" for 200
the purpose of divisions (A)(17)(a)(i) and (ii) of this section. 201
The tax commissioner, under procedures established by the 202
commissioner, may waive the add-backs related to a pass-through 203
entity if the taxpayer owns, directly or indirectly, less than 204

location as the nonbusiness income or loss generated by the 212
property for the purpose of determining the credit under 213
division (A) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code. Otherwise, 214
the add-back shall be apportioned, subject to one or more of the 215
four alternative methods of apportionment enumerated in section 216

gains and losses from the sale, exchange, or other disposition 918
of equity or ownership interests in, or debt obligations of, a 919

assets in this state and everywhere, as of the last day of the 924

S. B. No. 89 Page 33 As Introduced

qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately 925
prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the gain or 926
loss, is available to the trust. 927
(b) The requirements of section 5747.011 of the Revised 928
Code are satisfied for the trust's taxable year in which the 929
trust recognizes the gain or loss. 930
Any gain or loss that is not a qualifying trust amount is 931
modified business income, qualifying investment income, or 932
modified nonbusiness income, as the case may be. 933
(3) "Modified nonbusiness income" means a trust's Ohio 934
taxable income other than modified business income, other than 935
the qualifying trust amount, and other than qualifying 936
investment income, as defined in section 5747.012 of the Revised 937
Code, to the extent such qualifying investment income is not 938
otherwise part of modified business income. 939
(4) "Modified Ohio taxable income" applies only to trusts, 940
and means the sum of the amounts described in divisions (AA)(4) 941
(a) to (c) of this section: 942
(a) The fraction, calculated under section 5747.013, and 943

(i) The trust's modified business income; 946
(ii) The trust's qualifying investment income, as defined 947
in section 5747.012 of the Revised Code, but only to the extent 948
the qualifying investment income does not otherwise constitute 949
modified business income and does not otherwise constitute a 950
qualifying trust amount. 951
(b) The qualifying trust amount multiplied by a fraction, 952

S. B. No. 89 As Introduced

the numerator of which is the sum of the book value of the 953
qualifying investee's physical assets in this state on the last 954
day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending 955
immediately prior to the day on which the trust recognizes the 956
qualifying trust amount, and the denominator of which is the sum 957
of the book value of the qualifying investee's total physical 958
assets everywhere on the last day of the qualifying investee's 959
fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the day on 960
which the trust recognizes the qualifying trust amount. If, for 961
a taxable year, the trust recognizes a qualifying trust amount 962
with respect to more than one qualifying investee, the amount 963
described in division (AA)(4)(b) of this section shall equal the 964
sum of the products so computed for each such qualifying 965
investee. 966
(c)(i) With respect to a trust or portion of a trust that 967
is a resident as ascertained in accordance with division (I)(3) 968
(d) of this section, its modified nonbusiness income. 969
(ii) With respect to a trust or portion of a trust that is 970
not a resident as ascertained in accordance with division (I)(3) 971
(d) of this section, the amount of its modified nonbusiness 972
income satisfying the descriptions in divisions (B)(2) to (5) of 973
section 5747.20 of the Revised Code, except as otherwise 974
provided in division (AA)(4)(c)(ii) of this section. With 975
respect to a trust or portion of a trust that is not a resident 976
as ascertained in accordance with division (I)(3)(d) of this 977
section, the trust's portion of modified nonbusiness income 978
recognized from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of a 979
debt interest in or equity interest in a section 5747.212 980
entity, as defined in section 5747.212 of the Revised Code, 981
without regard to division (A) of that section, shall not be 982
allocated to this state in accordance with section 5747.20 of 983

S. B. No. 89 As Introduced

the Revised Code but shall be apportioned to this state in 984
accordance with division (B) of section 5747.212 of the Revised 985
Code without regard to division (A) of that section. 986
If the allocation and apportionment of a trust's income 987
under divisions (AA)(4)(a) and (c) of this section do not fairly 988
represent the modified Ohio taxable income of the trust in this 989
state, the alternative methods described in division (C) of 990
section 5747.21 of the Revised Code may be applied in the manner 991
and to the same extent provided in that section. 992
(5)(a) Except as set forth in division (AA)(5)(b) of this 993
section, "qualifying investee" means a person in which a trust 994
has an equity or ownership interest, or a person or unit of 995
government the debt obligations of either of which are owned by 996
a trust. For the purposes of division (AA)(2)(a) of this section 997
and for the purpose of computing the fraction described in 998
division (AA)(4)(b) of this section, all of the following apply: 999
(i) If the qualifying investee is a member of a qualifying 1000
controlled group on the last day of the qualifying investee's 1001
fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the date on 1002
which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, then "qualifying 1003
investee" includes all persons in the qualifying controlled 1004
group on such last day. 1005
(ii) If the qualifying investee, or if the qualifying 1006
investee and any members of the qualifying controlled group of 1007
which the qualifying investee is a member on the last day of the 1008
qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately 1009
prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the gain or 1010
loss, separately or cumulatively own, directly or indirectly, on 1011
the last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar 1012
year ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust 1013

S. B. No. 89 As Introduced

recognizes the qualifying trust amount, more than fifty per cent of the equity of a pass-through entity, then the qualifying investee and the other members are deemed to own the proportionate share of the pass-through entity's physical assets which the pass-through entity directly or indirectly owns on the last day of the pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or with the last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the qualifying trust amount.

An upper level pass-through entity, whether or not it is also a qualifying investee, is deemed to own, on the last day of the upper level pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year, the proportionate share of the lower level pass-through entity's physical assets that the lower level pass-through entity directly or indirectly owns on the last day of the lower level pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or with the last day of the upper level pass-through entity's fiscal or calendar year. If the upper level pass-through entity directly and indirectly owns less than fifty per cent of the equity of the lower level pass-through entity on each day of the upper level pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year in which or with which ends the calendar or fiscal year of the lower level pass-through entity and if, based upon clear and convincing evidence, complete information about the location and cost of the physical assets of the lower pass-through entity is not available to the upper level pass-through entity, then

S. B. No. 89 As Introduced

solely for purposes of ascertaining if a gain or loss 1045
constitutes a qualifying trust amount, the upper level pass- 1046
through entity shall be deemed as owning no equity of the lower 1047
level pass-through entity for each day during the upper level 1048
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year in which or with 1049
which ends the lower level pass-through entity's calendar or 1050
fiscal year. Nothing in division (AA)(5)(a)(iii) of this section 1051
shall be construed to provide for any deduction or exclusion in 1052
computing any trust's Ohio taxable income. 1053
(b) With respect to a trust that is not a resident for the 1054
taxable year and with respect to a part of a trust that is not a 1055
resident for the taxable year, "qualifying investee" for that 1056
taxable year does not include a C corporation if both of the 1057
following apply: 1058
(i) During the taxable year the trust or part of the trust 1059
recognizes a gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or other 1060
disposition of equity or ownership interests in, or debt 1061
obligations of, the C corporation. 1062
(ii) Such gain or loss constitutes nonbusiness income. 1063
(6) "Available" means information is such that a person is 1064
able to learn of the information by the due date plus 1065
extensions, if any, for filing the return for the taxable year 1066
in which the trust recognizes the gain or loss. 1067
(BB) "Qualifying controlled group" has the same meaning as 1068
in section 5733.04 of the Revised Code. 1069
(CC) "Related member" has the same meaning as in section 1070
5733.042 of the Revised Code. 1071
(DD)(1) For the purposes of division (DD) of this section: 1072
