22 ter, subsection (c) or paragraphs two or three of subsection (d) of
23 section six hundred fifteen of this chapter;
24 (2) the portion of any of the affected pass-through entity's separate-
25 ly and nonseparately computed items that are allocable to nonresident
26 individuals, trusts, or estates for purposes of article twenty-two of
27 this chapter shall be excluded to the extent such portion is not derived

31 from any lower-tier affected pass-through entity shall be excluded to
32 the extent such items are taken into account in determining the tax paid
33 by a lower-tier affected pass-through entity pursuant to section eight
34 hundred sixty-one of this article.
35 For purposes of this subsection, the portion of any separately and
36 nonseparately computed item that is not derived from or connected with
37 New York sources shall be determined under regulations or guidance
38 issued by the tax commission consistent with the applicable rules used

43 § 861. Imposition and rate of tax. (a) General. A tax is hereby
44 imposed for each taxable year on the pass-through business net income of
45 every affected pass-through entity doing business within this state.
46 This tax shall be in addition to any other taxes imposed and shall be at
47 the rate of 6.85 percent for each taxable year beginning on or after
48 January first, two thousand twenty-one. In the case of an affected pass-
49 through entity that is a partnership or a New York S corporation for
50 only a portion of its taxable year, the affected partnership or affected
51 S corporation shall be subject to this tax on only that portion of its
52 pass-through business net income attributable to the portion of the year
53 for which it is a partnership or a New York S corporation, as determined
54 pursuant to regulations and guidance set forth by the commissioner.
55 (b) Election. Any partnership or New York S corporation may elect to
56 have New York income tax imposed at the entity level under subsection
S. 2915 3
1 (a) of this section. An election under this subsection shall be made on
2 the pass-through entity business tax return for the affected pass-
3 through entity in such manner as the commissioner may prescribe by regu-
4 lation or instruction. An election under this subsection must be made on
5 an annual basis and shall be effective for the affected pass-through
6 entity only for the taxable year for which the election is made.
7 § 862. Credits. (a) General. An affected pass-through entity shall be
8 allowed a credit against the tax otherwise due under this article for
9 any income tax imposed for the taxable year by another state of the
10 United States, a political subdivision of such state, the District of
11 Columbia or a province of Canada, upon income both derived therefrom and
12 included in the affected pass-through entity's pass-through business net
13 income or loss under this article. The term "income tax imposed" in the
14 previous sentence shall include: (1) any income tax imposed upon or
15 payable by the affected pass-through entity itself, provided such tax
16 imposition or payment results from a tax that the commissioner deter-
17 mines is substantially similar to the tax imposed by this article; and
18 (2) any income tax imposed upon or payable by any direct or indirect
19 partner or shareholder of the affected pass-through entity who is a
20 resident individual, estate, or trust for purposes of article twenty-two
21 of this chapter.
22 (b) Limitations. (1) The credit under this section shall not exceed
23 the percentage of the tax otherwise due under this article determined by
24 dividing the portion of the taxpayer's pass-through business net income
25 that is subject to taxation by such other jurisdiction by the total
26 amount of the taxpayer's pass-through business net income.
27 (2) The credit under this section shall not reduce the tax otherwise
28 due under this article to an amount less than would have been due if the
29 income subject to taxation by such other jurisdiction were excluded from
30 the taxpayer's New York income.
31 (3) In the case of tax paid by a direct or indirect partner or share-
32 holder that elects to claim the foreign tax credit for federal income
33 tax purposes, the credit under this section for income tax imposed by a
34 province of Canada shall be allowed for that portion of the provincial
35 tax not claimed for federal purposes for the taxable year or a preceding
36 taxable year, provided however, to the extent the provincial tax is
37 claimed for federal purposes for a succeeding taxable year, the credit
38 under this section must be added back in such succeeding taxable year.
39 The provincial tax shall be deemed to be claimed last for federal income
40 tax purposes and for purposes of this subsection.
41 § 863. Payment of estimated tax. (a) Definition of estimated tax.
42 Estimated tax means the amount that an affected pass-through entity
43 estimates to be the tax imposed for the current taxable year by section
44 eight hundred sixty-one of this article.
45 (b) Annual estimated tax payment. The required annual estimated tax
46 payment is the lesser of (1) ninety percent of the estimated tax for the
47 year or (2) one hundred ten percent of the tax shown on the return of
48 the affected pass-through entity for the preceding taxable year. If the
49 affected pass-through entity was not in existence in the previous year
50 or did not elect to be subject to the tax imposed by this article in the
51 preceding year, then no estimated tax is due for the current taxable
52 year.
53 (c) General. The annual estimated tax payment shall be paid as follows
54 for an affected pass-through entity that reports on a calendar year
55 basis:
S. 2915 4
1 (1) If such annual estimated tax payment can reasonably be expected to
2 exceed one thousand dollars on or before March fifteenth of the taxable
3 year, the annual estimated tax payment shall be paid in four equal
4 installments on March fifteenth, June fifteenth, September fifteenth and
5 December fifteenth;
6 (2) If such annual estimated tax payment can reasonably be expected to
7 exceed one thousand dollars after March fifteenth and not after June
8 fifteenth of the taxable year, the annual estimated tax payment shall be
9 paid in three equal installments on June fifteenth, September fifteenth
10 and December fifteenth;
11 (3) If such annual estimated tax payment can reasonably be expected to
12 exceed one thousand dollars after June fifteenth and not after September
13 fifteenth of the taxable year, the annual estimated tax payment shall be
14 paid in two equal installments on September fifteenth and December
15 fifteenth; and
16 (4) If such annual estimated tax payment can reasonably be expected to
17 exceed one thousand dollars after September fifteenth of the taxable
18 year, the annual estimated tax payment shall be paid on December
19 fifteenth.
20 (d) This section shall apply to a taxable year of less than twelve
21 months in accordance with procedures established by the commissioner.
22 (e) This section shall apply to a taxable year other than a calendar
23 year by the substitution of the months of such fiscal year for the
24 corresponding months specified in this section.
25 (f) An affected pass-through entity may elect to pay any installment
26 of its estimated tax prior to the date prescribed for the payment there-
27 of.
28 § 864. Filing of return and payment of tax. (a) General. On or before
29 the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable
30 year, each affected pass-through entity shall be required to transmit to
31 the commissioner a return in a form prescribed by the commissioner.
32 (b) Information on return. Each affected pass-through entity shall
33 report any tax due under this article on the face of such return and
34 such other pertinent information as the commissioner may by regulations
35 and instructions prescribe. The balance of any tax shown on the face of
36 such return, not previously paid as installments of estimated tax, shall
37 be paid with such return.
38 § 865. Accounting periods and methods. (a) Accounting periods. An
39 affected pass-through entity's taxable year under this article shall be
40 the same as the affected pass-through entity's taxable year for federal
41 income tax purposes.
42 (b) Accounting methods. An affected pass-through entity's method of
43 accounting under this article shall be the same as the affected pass-
44 through entity's method of accounting for federal income tax purposes.
45 (c) Change of accounting period or method. (1) If an affected pass-
46 through entity's taxable year or method of accounting is changed for
47 federal income tax purposes, the taxable year or method of accounting
48 for purposes of this article shall be similarly changed.
49 (2) If an affected pass-through entity's method of accounting is
50 changed, any additional tax that results from adjustments determined to
51 be necessary solely by reason of such change shall not be greater than
52 if such adjustments were ratably allocated and included for the taxable
53 year of the change and the preceding taxable years, not in excess of
54 two, during which the affected partnership used the method of accounting
55 from which the change is made.
S. 2915 5
1 § 866. Procedural provisions. (a) General. All procedural provisions
2 of article twenty-two of this chapter will apply to the provisions of
3 this article in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if
4 the language of article twenty-two of this chapter had been incorporated
5 in full into this article and had been specifically adjusted for and
6 expressly referred to the tax imposed by this article, except to the
7 extent that any provision is either inconsistent with a provision of
8 this article or is not relevant to this article.
9 (b) Liability for tax. Only the affected pass-through entity shall be
10 liable for the tax under this article, and no partner or shareholder
11 that has a direct or indirect ownership interest in the affected pass-
12 through entity shall be personally liable for such tax.
13 (c) Deposit and disposition of revenue. All taxes, interest, penal-
14 ties, and fees collected or received by the commissioner under this
15 article shall be deposited and disposed of pursuant to the provisions of
16 section one hundred seventy-one-a of this chapter.
17 (d) Secrecy provision. All the provisions of subsection (a) of section
18 six hundred ninety-seven of this chapter will be applied to the
19 provisions of this article. Notwithstanding any provisions of this chap-
20 ter to the contrary, the commissioner may disclose information and
21 returns regarding the calculation and payment of the tax imposed by this
22 article to an affected pass-through entity, to its lower-tiered affected
23 pass-through entity or entities, and to any partner or shareholder that
24 has a direct or indirect ownership interest in the affected pass-through
25 entity and to which is allocable any separately or nonseparately
26 computed items, as described in section 702(a) of the Internal Revenue
27 Code with respect to a partnership or section 1366 of the Internal
28 Revenue Code with respect to an S corporation.
29 § 2. The opening paragraph of paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of
30 section 210 of the tax law, as amended by section 10 of part T of chap-
31 ter 59 of the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:
32 For taxable years beginning before January first, two thousand
33 sixteen, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed at
34 the rate of seven and one-tenth percent of the taxpayer's business
35 income base. For taxable years beginning on or after January first, two
36 thousand sixteen, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be six
37 and one-half percent of the taxpayer's business income base. The taxpay-
38 er's business income base shall mean the portion of the taxpayer's busi-
39 ness income apportioned within the state as hereinafter provided. Howev-
40 er, in the case of a small business taxpayer, as defined in paragraph
41 (f) of this subdivision, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall
42 be computed pursuant to subparagraph (iv) of this paragraph and in the
43 case of a manufacturer, as defined in subparagraph (vi) of this para-
44 graph, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be computed pursu-
45 ant to subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph, and, in the case of a quali-
46 fied emerging technology company, as defined in subparagraph (vii) of
47 this paragraph, the amount prescribed by this paragraph shall be
48 computed pursuant to subparagraph (vii) of this paragraph. Notwith-
49 standing the provisions of this paragraph, with respect to any taxpayer
50 that has a direct or indirect ownership interest in one or more pass-
51 through entities that has elected to be subject to tax pursuant to
52 subsection (a) of section eight hundred sixty-one of this chapter,
53 including any taxpayer that is a small business taxpayer, a manufactur-
54 er, or a qualified emerging technology company, the taxpayer's business
55 income base will be decreased by an amount equal to the product of (1)
56 the sum of the portions of the taxpayer's distributive or pro rata share
S. 2915 6
1 of each separately and nonseparately computed item as described in
2 section 702(a) or section 1366 of the Internal Revenue Code that is
3 derived from or connected with New York sources as computed pursuant to
4 subsection (g) of section eight hundred sixty of this chapter that is
5 being taken into account in determining the tax paid by an affected
6 pass-through entity pursuant to subsection (a) of section eight hundred
7 sixty-one of this chapter and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is
8 the tax rate imposed on affected pass-through entities by subsection (a)
9 of section eight hundred sixty-one of this chapter and the denominator
10 of which is the tax rate imposed on the business income base of the
11 taxpayer pursuant to this paragraph. If the amount of the reduction
12 allowable to the taxpayer under the previous sentence for any taxable
13 year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax base for such year, the excess
14 allowed for the taxable year may be carried over to the following year
15 or years and may be used to reduce the taxpayer's tax base in such
16 subsequent year or years.
17 § 3. Section 209-B of the tax law is amended by adding a new subdivi-
18 sion 7 to read as follows:
19 7. In determining the amount of the surcharge to be imposed on a
20 taxpayer pursuant to this section, the amount of such surcharge will be
21 determined without taking into account any affected pass-through entity
22 reduction computed pursuant to paragraph (a) of subdivision one of
23 section two hundred ten of this chapter.
24 § 4. Subsection (a) of section 611 of the tax law, as amended by chap-
25 ter 28 of the laws of 1987, is amended to read as follows:
26 (a) General. The New York taxable income of a resident individual
27 shall be his New York adjusted gross income less his New York deduction
28 and New York exemptions, as determined under this part. Notwithstanding
29 the foregoing provision, with respect to any resident individual that
30 has a direct or indirect ownership interest in one or more affected
31 pass-through entities subject to the tax imposed pursuant to article
32 twenty-four-A of this chapter, the resident individual's New York taxa-
33 ble income shall be adjusted to exclude such individual's distributive
34 or pro rata shares of each separately and nonseparately computed item,
35 as described in section 702(a) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect
36 to a partnership or section 1366 of the Internal Revenue Code with
37 respect to an S corporation, from all affected pass-through entities in
38 which the taxpayer has a direct or indirect ownership interest. If the
39 amount of the adjustment made pursuant to the previous sentence shall
40 exceed the resident individual's New York taxable income for such year,
41 the excess allowed for the taxable year may be carried over to the
42 following year or years and may be used to reduce the resident individ-
43 ual's New York taxable income in such subsequent year or years.
44 § 5. Section 618 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection
45 6 to read as follows:
46 (6) With respect to a resident estate or trust that has a direct or
47 indirect ownership interest in one or more affected pass-through enti-
48 ties subject to the tax imposed pursuant to article twenty-four-A of
49 this chapter, the resident estate's or trust's New York taxable income
50 shall be adjusted to exclude such estate's or trust's distributive or
51 pro rata shares of each separately and nonseparately computed item, as
52 described in section 702(a) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to
53 a partnership or section 1366 of the Internal Revenue Code with respect
54 to an S corporation, from all affected pass-through entities in which
55 the taxpayer has a direct or indirect ownership interest. If the amount
56 of the adjustment made pursuant to the previous sentence shall exceed
S. 2915 7
1 the estate's or the trust's New York taxable income for such year, the
2 excess allowed for the taxable year may be carried over to the following
3 year or years and may be used to reduce the estate's or trust's New York
4 taxable income in such subsequent year or years.
5 § 6. Subsection (e) of section 601 of the tax law is amended by adding
6 a new paragraph 5 to read as follows:
7 (5) Nonresident partners and shareholders in affected pass-through
8 entities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, with
9 respect to every nonresident and part-year resident individual and trust
10 and every nonresident estate that has a direct or indirect ownership
11 interest in one or more affected pass-through entities subject to the
12 tax imposed pursuant to article twenty-four-A of this chapter, the tax
13 imposed pursuant to paragraph one of this subsection shall be an amount
14 equal to the sum of the modified tax base and the surtax tax base multi-
15 plied by their respective applicable New York source fractions.
16 (A) Modified tax base. The modified tax base of a taxpayer under this
17 paragraph shall be calculated in the same manner as the tax base in
18 paragraph two of this subsection, except that, notwithstanding
19 subsection (a) of section six hundred eleven or subdivision six of
20 section six hundred eighteen of this article, separately and nonsepa-
21 rately computed items with respect to such affected pass-through enti-
22 ties shall not be excluded, and the rate tables under subsections (a),
23 (b) and (c) and the supplemental tax under subsection (d-1) of this
24 section shall be applied by reducing each tax rate in excess of 6.85% to
25 6.85%, and adjusting each tax table accordingly. The applicable New York
26 source fraction for the modified tax base shall be calculated in the
27 same manner as the New York source fraction under paragraph three of
28 this subsection, including the exclusion of separately and nonseparately
29 computed items with respect to such affected pass-through entities under
30 subsection (a) of section six hundred eleven or subdivision six of
31 section six hundred eighteen of this article, as applicable, in calcu-
32 lating the numerator of such fraction. If the amount of such separately
33 and nonseparately computed items so excluded exceeds the numerator of
34 the New York source fraction for such year before such exclusion, the
35 excess may be carried over to the following year or years and may be
36 used to reduce the numerator of the taxpayer's applicable New York
37 source fraction under this subparagraph for such taxable years.
38 (B) Surtax tax base. The surtax tax base of a taxpayer under this
39 paragraph shall be equal to the portion of the taxpayer's New York taxa-
40 ble income to which the 8.82% rate would have applied in computing the
41 taxpayer's modified tax base under the preceding subparagraph (after
42 taking into account the tax table benefit recapture provisions under
43 subsection (d-1) of this section) if the tax rate had not been capped at
44 6.85% under that subparagraph multiplied by a factor of 1.97%. The
45 applicable New York source fraction for the surtax tax base shall be
46 calculated in the same manner as the New York source fraction under
47 paragraph three of this subsection, except that separately and nonsepa-
48 rately computed items with respect to such affected pass-through enti-
49 ties shall not be excluded in calculating the numerator of such frac-
50 tion.
51 § 7. Section 606 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection
52 (kkk) to read as follows:
53 (kkk) Taxpayers with direct or indirect ownership interests in
54 affected pass-through entities. Notwithstanding the other provisions of
55 this subsection, a taxpayer that has a direct or indirect ownership
56 interest in an affected pass-through entity that is subject to tax
S. 2915 8
1 pursuant to article twenty-four-A of this chapter is not entitled to
2 claim a credit otherwise provided by this section to the extent that the
3 credit was claimed by the affected pass-through entity for purposes of
4 determining its tax liability under article twenty-four-A of this chap-
5 ter.
6 § 8. Subsection (d) of section 620 of the tax law, as added by chapter
7 166 of the laws of 1991, is amended to read as follows:
8 (d) S corporation shareholders and partners. In the case of a share-
9 holder of an S corporation, the term "income tax" in subsection (a) of
10 this section shall [not] include (1) any such tax imposed upon or paya-
11 ble by the [corporation, but shall include any such tax] shareholder
12 with respect to the income of the corporation [imposed upon or payable
13 by the shareholder], without regard to whether an election independent
14 of the federal S election was required to effect such imposition upon
15 the shareholder of such S corporation and (2) such shareholder's pro
16 rata share of any such tax imposed upon or payable by the corporation,
17 provided such tax imposition or payment results from a tax that the
18 commissioner determines is substantially similar to the tax imposed by
19 article twenty-four-A of this chapter. In the case of a partner in a
20 partnership, the term "income tax" in subsection (a) of this section
21 shall (1) include any such tax imposed upon or payable by the partner
22 with respect to the income of the partnership and (2) such partner's
23 distributive share of any such tax imposed upon or payable by the part-
24 nership, provided such tax imposition or payment results from a tax that
25 the commissioner determines is substantially similar to the tax imposed
26 by article twenty-four-A of this chapter.
27 § 9. Section 620 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subsection
28 (e) to read as follows:
29 (e) Taxpayers with direct or indirect ownership interests in affected
30 pass-through entities. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
31 section, a taxpayer that has a direct or indirect ownership interest in
32 an affected pass-through entity that is subject to tax pursuant to arti-
33 cle twenty-four-A of this chapter is not entitled to claim a credit
34 otherwise provided by this section to the extent that any income tax is
35 claimed as a credit pursuant to section eight hundred sixty-two of this
36 chapter by the affected pass-through entity for purposes of determining
37 its tax liability under article twenty-four-A of this chapter.
38 § 10. Subparagraph (A) of paragraph 4 of subsection (c) of section 658
39 of the tax law, as amended by section 72 of part A of chapter 59 of the
40 laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows:

49 cle, or C corporations, and which has any income derived from New York

2 plied by the highest rate of tax prescribed by section six hundred one
3 of this article for the taxable year of any partner, member or share-
4 holder who is an individual taxpayer, or paragraph (a) of subdivision
5 one of section two hundred ten of this chapter for the taxable year of

9 pro rata share of any credits determined under section one hundred
10 eighty-seven, one hundred eighty-seven-a, six hundred six or fifteen
