(f) This subsection applies only to the extent that an individual paid
property taxes in 2004 that were imposed for the March 1, 2002,
assessment date or the January 15, 2003, assessment date. The
maximum amount of the deduction under subsection (a)(17) is equal

before January 1, 2008, a fraction. The:
(A) numerator of the fraction is the sum of the property factor
plus the payroll factor plus the product of the sales factor
multiplied by three (3); and
(B) denominator of the fraction is five (5).
(2) For all taxable years that begin after December 31, 2007, and
before January 1, 2009, a fraction. The:
(A) numerator of the fraction is the property factor plus the
payroll factor plus the product of the sales factor multiplied by
four and sixty-seven hundredths (4.67); and
(B) denominator of the fraction is six and sixty-seven
hundredths (6.67).
(3) For all taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008, and
before January 1, 2010, a fraction. The:
(A) numerator of the fraction is the property factor plus the
payroll factor plus the product of the sales factor multiplied by
eight (8); and
(B) denominator of the fraction is ten (10).
(4) For all taxable years beginning after December 31, 2009, and
before January 1, 2011, a fraction. The:
(A) numerator of the fraction is the property factor plus the
payroll factor plus the product of the sales factor multiplied by
eighteen (18); and
(B) denominator of the fraction is twenty (20).
(5) For all taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010, the
sales factor.
(c) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
average value of the taxpayer's real and tangible personal property
owned or rented and used in this state during the taxable year and the
denominator of which is the average value of all the taxpayer's real and
tangible personal property owned or rented and used during the taxable
year. However, with respect to a foreign corporation, the denominator
does not include the average value of real or tangible personal property
owned or rented and used in a place that is outside the United States.
Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its original cost. Property
rented by the taxpayer is valued at eight (8) times the net annual rental
rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual rental rate paid by the taxpayer
less any annual rental rate received by the taxpayer from subrentals.
The average of property shall be determined by averaging the values at
the beginning and ending of the taxable year, but the department may
require the averaging of monthly values during the taxable year if
reasonably required to reflect properly the average value of the
taxpayer's property.
(d) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
total amount paid in this state during the taxable year by the taxpayer
for compensation, and the denominator of which is the total
compensation paid everywhere during the taxable year. However, with
respect to a foreign corporation, the denominator does not include
compensation paid in a place that is outside the United States.
Compensation is paid in this state if:
(1) the individual's service is performed entirely within the state;
(2) the individual's service is performed both within and without
this state, but the service performed without this state is incidental
to the individual's service within this state; or
(3) some of the service is performed in this state and:
(A) the base of operations or, if there is no base of operations,
the place from which the service is directed or controlled is in
this state; or
(B) the base of operations or the place from which the service
is directed or controlled is not in any state in which some part
of the service is performed, but the individual is a resident of
this state.
(e) The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total
sales of the taxpayer in this state during the taxable year, and the
denominator of which is the total sales of the taxpayer everywhere
during the taxable year. Sales include receipts from intangible property
and receipts from the sale or exchange of intangible property. However,
with respect to a foreign corporation, the denominator does not include
sales made in a place that is outside the United States. Receipts from
intangible personal property are derived from sources within Indiana
if the receipts from the intangible personal property are attributable to
Indiana under section 2.2 of this chapter. Regardless of the f.o.b. point
or other conditions of the sale, sales of tangible personal property are
in this state if:
(1) the property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser that is
within Indiana, other than the United States government; or
(2) the property is shipped from an office, a store, a warehouse, a
factory, or other place of storage in this state and:
(A) the purchaser is the United States government; or
(B) the taxpayer is not taxable in the state of the purchaser.
Gross receipts derived from commercial printing as described in
IC 6-2.5-1-10 shall be treated as sales of tangible personal property for
purposes of this chapter.
(f) Sales, other than receipts from intangible property covered by
subsection (e) and sales of tangible personal property, are in this state
if:
(1) the income-producing activity is performed in this state; or
(2) the income-producing activity is performed both within and
without this state and a greater proportion of the
income-producing activity is performed in this state than in any
other state, based on costs of performance.
(g) Rents and royalties from real or tangible personal property,
capital gains, interest, dividends, or patent or copyright royalties, to the
extent that they constitute nonbusiness income, shall be allocated as
provided in subsections (h) through (k).
(h)(1) Net rents and royalties from real property located in this state
are allocable to this state.
(2) Net rents and royalties from tangible personal property are
allocated to this state:
(i) if and to the extent that the property is utilized in this state; or
(ii) in their entirety if the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this
state and the taxpayer is not organized under the laws of or
taxable in the state in which the property is utilized.
(3) The extent of utilization of tangible personal property in a state
is determined by multiplying the rents and royalties by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days of physical location of the
property in the state during the rental or royalty period in the taxable
year, and the denominator of which is the number of days of physical
location of the property everywhere during all rental or royalty periods
in the taxable year. If the physical location of the property during the
rental or royalty period is unknown or unascertainable by the taxpayer,
tangible personal property is utilized in the state in which the property
was located at the time the rental or royalty payer obtained possession.
(i)(1) Capital gains and losses from sales of real property located in
this state are allocable to this state.
(2) Capital gains and losses from sales of tangible personal property
are allocable to this state if:

(ii) the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state and the
taxpayer is not taxable in the state in which the property had a
situs.
(3) Capital gains and losses from sales of intangible personal
property are allocable to this state if the taxpayer's commercial
domicile is in this state.
(j) Interest and dividends are allocable to this state if the taxpayer's
commercial domicile is in this state.
gross premiums received from direct business as reported in the
corporation's annual statement filed with the department of insurance.

Internal Revenue Code, two (2) years shall be used instead of
five (5) years; or
(B) that is a qualified disaster loss for which the taxpayer
elected to have the net operating loss carryback period with
respect to the loss year determined without regard to Section
172(b)(1)(J) of the Internal Revenue Code, five (5) years shall
be used.
(4) (2) Carryover years shall be determined by reference to the
number of years allowed for carrying over net operating losses
under Section 172(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(5) A taxpayer who makes an election under Section 172(b)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code to relinquish the carryback period with
respect to a net operating loss for any taxable year shall be
considered to have also relinquished the carryback of the Indiana
net operating loss for purposes of this section.
(g) The entire amount of the Indiana net operating loss for any
taxable year shall be carried to the earliest of the taxable years to which
(as determined under subsection (f)) the loss may be carried. The
amount of the Indiana net operating loss remaining after the deduction
is taken under this section in a taxable year may be carried back or
carried over as provided in subsection (f). The amount of the Indiana
net operating loss carried back or carried over from year to year shall
be reduced to the extent that the Indiana net operating loss carryback
or carryover is used by the taxpayer to obtain a deduction in a taxable
year until the occurrence of the earlier of the following:
(1) The entire amount of the Indiana net operating loss has been
used as a deduction.
(2) The Indiana net operating loss has been carried over to each

year in which each net operating loss was incurred.
(2) The amount of the taxpayer's net operating loss that is derived
from sources within Indiana shall be determined in the same
manner that the amount of the taxpayer's adjusted income derived
from sources within Indiana is determined under section 2 of this
chapter for the same taxable year during which each loss was
incurred.
(3) An Indiana net operating loss includes a net operating loss that
arises when the modifications required by IC 6-3-1-3.5 exceed the
taxpayer's federal taxable income (as defined in Section 63 of the
Internal Revenue Code), if the taxpayer is a corporation, or when
the modifications required by IC 6-3-1-3.5 exceed the taxpayer's
federal adjusted gross income (as defined by Section 62 of the
Internal Revenue Code), if the taxpayer is a nonresident person,
for the taxable year in which the Indiana net operating loss is
determined.
(e) Subject to the limitations contained in subsection (g), an Indiana
net operating loss carryback or carryover shall be available as a
deduction from the taxpayer's adjusted gross income derived from
sources within Indiana (as defined in section 2 of this chapter) in the
carryback or carryover year provided in subsection (f).
(f) Carrybacks and Carryovers shall be determined under this
subsection as follows:
(1) An Indiana net operating loss shall be an Indiana net operating
loss carryback to each of the carryback years preceding the
taxable year of the loss.
(2) (1) An Indiana net operating loss shall be an Indiana net
operating loss carryover to each of the carryover years following
the taxable year of the loss.
(3) Carryback years shall be determined by reference to the

under Section 172(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. However,
with respect to the carryback period for a net operating loss:

instead of two (2) years under Section 172(b)(1)(H) of the
Internal Revenue Code, two (2) years shall be used instead of
five (5) years; or

county economic development income tax at a rate of:
(1) in the case of a county described in IC 36-7.6-4-2(b)(2),
twenty-five thousandths of one percent (0.025%); or
(2) in the case of any other county to which this section
applies, five-hundredths of one percent (0.05%);

other provision of this chapter, the initial certified distribution of the
tax revenue that results from the additional tax shall be distributed to
