A BILL
To amend section 5747.01 of the Revised Code to allow 1
an income tax deduction of up to ten thousand 2
dollars for net capital gains.3


BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

       Section 1. That section 5747.01 of the Revised Code be 4
amended to read as follows:5

       Sec. 5747.01.  Except as otherwise expressly provided or 6
clearly appearing from the context, any term used in this chapter 7
that is not otherwise defined in this section has the same meaning 8
as when used in a comparable context in the laws of the United 9
States relating to federal income taxes or if not used in a 10
comparable context in those laws, has the same meaning as in 11
section 5733.40 of the Revised Code. Any reference in this chapter 12
to the Internal Revenue Code includes other laws of the United 13
States relating to federal income taxes.14

       As used in this chapter:15

       (A) "Adjusted gross income" or "Ohio adjusted gross income" 16
means federal adjusted gross income, as defined and used in the 17
Internal Revenue Code, adjusted as provided in this section:18

       (1) Add interest or dividends on obligations or securities of 19
any state or of any political subdivision or authority of any 20
state, other than this state and its subdivisions and authorities.21

       (2) Add interest or dividends on obligations of any 22
authority, commission, instrumentality, territory, or possession 23
of the United States to the extent that the interest or dividends 24
are exempt from federal income taxes but not from state income 25
taxes.26

       (3) Deduct interest or dividends on obligations of the United 27
States and its territories and possessions or of any authority, 28
commission, or instrumentality of the United States to the extent 29
that the interest or dividends are included in federal adjusted 30
gross income but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of 31
the United States.32

       (4) Deduct disability and survivor's benefits to the extent 33
included in federal adjusted gross income.34

       (5) Deduct benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act 35
and tier 1 railroad retirement benefits to the extent included in 36
federal adjusted gross income under section 86 of the Internal 37
Revenue Code.38

       (6) In the case of a taxpayer who is a beneficiary of a trust 39
that makes an accumulation distribution as defined in section 665 40
of the Internal Revenue Code, add, for the beneficiary's taxable 41
years beginning before 2002, the portion, if any, of such 42
distribution that does not exceed the undistributed net income of 43
the trust for the three taxable years preceding the taxable year 44
in which the distribution is made to the extent that the portion 45
was not included in the trust's taxable income for any of the 46
trust's taxable years beginning in 2002 or thereafter. 47
"Undistributed net income of a trust" means the taxable income of 48
the trust increased by (a)(i) the additions to adjusted gross 49
income required under division (A) of this section and (ii) the 50
personal exemptions allowed to the trust pursuant to section 51
642(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and decreased by (b)(i) the 52
deductions to adjusted gross income required under division (A) of 53
this section, (ii) the amount of federal income taxes attributable 54
to such income, and (iii) the amount of taxable income that has 55
been included in the adjusted gross income of a beneficiary by 56
reason of a prior accumulation distribution. Any undistributed net 57
income included in the adjusted gross income of a beneficiary 58
shall reduce the undistributed net income of the trust commencing 59
with the earliest years of the accumulation period.60

       (7) Deduct the amount of wages and salaries, if any, not 61
otherwise allowable as a deduction but that would have been 62
allowable as a deduction in computing federal adjusted gross 63
income for the taxable year, had the targeted jobs credit allowed 64
and determined under sections 38, 51, and 52 of the Internal 65
Revenue Code not been in effect.66

       (8) Deduct any interest or interest equivalent on public 67
obligations and purchase obligations to the extent that the 68
interest or interest equivalent is included in federal adjusted 69
gross income.70

       (9) Add any loss or deduct any gain resulting from the sale, 71
exchange, or other disposition of public obligations to the extent 72
that the loss has been deducted or the gain has been included in 73
computing federal adjusted gross income.74

       (10) Deduct or add amounts, as provided under section 5747.70 75
of the Revised Code, related to contributions to variable college 76
savings program accounts made or tuition units purchased pursuant 77
to Chapter 3334. of the Revised Code.78

       (11)(a) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise allowable as a 79
deduction or exclusion in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross 80
income for the taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during 81
the taxable year for medical care insurance and qualified 82
long-term care insurance for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, 83
and dependents. No deduction for medical care insurance under 84
division (A)(11) of this section shall be allowed either to any 85
taxpayer who is eligible to participate in any subsidized health 86
plan maintained by any employer of the taxpayer or of the 87
taxpayer's spouse, or to any taxpayer who is entitled to, or on 88
application would be entitled to, benefits under part A of Title 89
XVIII of the "Social Security Act," 49 Stat. 620 (1935), 42 U.S.C. 90
301, as amended. For the purposes of division (A)(11)(a) of this 91
section, "subsidized health plan" means a health plan for which 92
the employer pays any portion of the plan's cost. The deduction 93
allowed under division (A)(11)(a) of this section shall be the net 94
of any related premium refunds, related premium reimbursements, or 95
related insurance premium dividends received during the taxable 96
year.97

       (b) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded 98
in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income during the 99
taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during the taxable 100
year, not compensated for by any insurance or otherwise, for 101
medical care of the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, and 102
dependents, to the extent the expenses exceed seven and one-half 103
per cent of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income.104

       (c) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded 105
in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income, any amount 106
included in federal adjusted gross income under section 105 or not 107
excluded under section 106 of the Internal Revenue Code solely 108
because it relates to an accident and health plan for a person who 109
otherwise would be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" 110
under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact 111
that the person fails to meet the income and support limitations 112
under section 152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code. 113

       (d) For purposes of division (A)(11) of this section, 114
"medical care" has the meaning given in section 213 of the 115
Internal Revenue Code, subject to the special rules, limitations, 116
and exclusions set forth therein, and "qualified long-term care" 117
has the same meaning given in section 7702B(c) of the Internal 118
Revenue Code. Solely for purposes of divisions (A)(11)(a) and (c) 119
of this section, "dependent" includes a person who otherwise would 120
be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" under section 121
152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact that the person 122
fails to meet the income and support limitations under section 123
152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code.124

       (12)(a) Deduct any amount included in federal adjusted gross 125
income solely because the amount represents a reimbursement or 126
refund of expenses that in any year the taxpayer had deducted as 127
an itemized deduction pursuant to section 63 of the Internal 128
Revenue Code and applicable United States department of the 129
treasury regulations. The deduction otherwise allowed under 130
division (A)(12)(a) of this section shall be reduced to the extent 131
the reimbursement is attributable to an amount the taxpayer 132
deducted under this section in any taxable year.133

       (b) Add any amount not otherwise included in Ohio adjusted 134
gross income for any taxable year to the extent that the amount is 135
attributable to the recovery during the taxable year of any amount 136
deducted or excluded in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross 137
income in any taxable year.138

       (13) Deduct any portion of the deduction described in section 139
1341(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, for repaying previously 140
reported income received under a claim of right, that meets both 141
of the following requirements:142

       (a) It is allowable for repayment of an item that was 143
included in the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for a prior 144
taxable year and did not qualify for a credit under division (A) 145
or (B) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for that year;146

       (b) It does not otherwise reduce the taxpayer's adjusted 147
gross income for the current or any other taxable year.148

       (14) Deduct an amount equal to the deposits made to, and net 149
investment earnings of, a medical savings account during the 150
taxable year, in accordance with section 3924.66 of the Revised 151
Code. The deduction allowed by division (A)(14) of this section 152
does not apply to medical savings account deposits and earnings 153
otherwise deducted or excluded for the current or any other 154
taxable year from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income.155

       (15)(a) Add an amount equal to the funds withdrawn from a 156
medical savings account during the taxable year, and the net 157
investment earnings on those funds, when the funds withdrawn were 158
used for any purpose other than to reimburse an account holder 159
for, or to pay, eligible medical expenses, in accordance with 160
section 3924.66 of the Revised Code;161

       (b) Add the amounts distributed from a medical savings 162
account under division (A)(2) of section 3924.68 of the Revised 163
Code during the taxable year.164

       (16) Add any amount claimed as a credit under section 165
5747.059 of the Revised Code to the extent that such amount 166
satisfies either of the following:167

       (a) The amount was deducted or excluded from the computation 168
of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income as required to be 169
reported for the taxpayer's taxable year under the Internal 170
Revenue Code;171

       (b) The amount resulted in a reduction of the taxpayer's 172
federal adjusted gross income as required to be reported for any 173
of the taxpayer's taxable years under the Internal Revenue Code.174

       (17) Deduct the amount contributed by the taxpayer to an 175
individual development account program established by a county 176
department of job and family services pursuant to sections 329.11 177
to 329.14 of the Revised Code for the purpose of matching funds 178
deposited by program participants. On request of the tax 179
commissioner, the taxpayer shall provide any information that, in 180
the tax commissioner's opinion, is necessary to establish the 181
amount deducted under division (A)(17) of this section.182

       (18) Beginning in taxable year 2001 but not for any taxable 183
year beginning after December 31, 2005, if the taxpayer is married 184
and files a joint return and the combined federal adjusted gross 185
income of the taxpayer and the taxpayer's spouse for the taxable 186
year does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars, or if the 187
taxpayer is single and has a federal adjusted gross income for the 188
taxable year not exceeding fifty thousand dollars, deduct amounts 189
paid during the taxable year for qualified tuition and fees paid 190
to an eligible institution for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 191
spouse, or any dependent of the taxpayer, who is a resident of 192
this state and is enrolled in or attending a program that 193
culminates in a degree or diploma at an eligible institution. The 194
deduction may be claimed only to the extent that qualified tuition 195
and fees are not otherwise deducted or excluded for any taxable 196
year from federal or Ohio adjusted gross income. The deduction may 197
not be claimed for educational expenses for which the taxpayer 198
claims a credit under section 5747.27 of the Revised Code.199

       (19) Add any reimbursement received during the taxable year 200
of any amount the taxpayer deducted under division (A)(18) of this 201
section in any previous taxable year to the extent the amount is 202
not otherwise included in Ohio adjusted gross income.203

       (20)(a)(i) Add five-sixths of the amount of depreciation 204
expense allowed by subsection (k) of section 168 of the Internal 205
Revenue Code, including the taxpayer's proportionate or 206
distributive share of the amount of depreciation expense allowed 207
by that subsection to a pass-through entity in which the taxpayer 208
has a direct or indirect ownership interest.209

       (ii) Add five-sixths of the amount of qualifying section 179 210
depreciation expense, including a person's proportionate or 211
distributive share of the amount of qualifying section 179 212
depreciation expense allowed to any pass-through entity in which 213
the person has a direct or indirect ownership. For the purposes of 214
this division, "qualifying section 179 depreciation expense" means 215
the difference between (I) the amount of depreciation expense 216
directly or indirectly allowed to the taxpayer under section 179 217
of the Internal Revenue Code, and (II) the amount of depreciation 218
expense directly or indirectly allowed to the taxpayer under 219
section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code as that section existed 220
on December 31, 2002.221

       The tax commissioner, under procedures established by the 222
commissioner, may waive the add-backs related to a pass-through 223
entity if the taxpayer owns, directly or indirectly, less than 224
five per cent of the pass-through entity.225

       (b) Nothing in division (A)(20) of this section shall be 226
construed to adjust or modify the adjusted basis of any asset.227

       (c) To the extent the add-back required under division 228
(A)(20)(a) of this section is attributable to property generating 229
nonbusiness income or loss allocated under section 5747.20 of the 230
Revised Code, the add-back shall be sitused to the same location 231
as the nonbusiness income or loss generated by the property for 232
the purpose of determining the credit under division (A) of 233
section 5747.05 of the Revised Code. Otherwise, the add-back shall 234
be apportioned, subject to one or more of the four alternative 235
methods of apportionment enumerated in section 5747.21 of the 236
Revised Code.237

       (d) For the purposes of division (A) of this section, net 238
operating loss carryback and carryforward shall not include 239
five-sixths of the allowance of any net operating loss deduction 240
carryback or carryforward to the taxable year to the extent such 241
loss resulted from depreciation allowed by section 168(k) of the 242
Internal Revenue Code and by the qualifying section 179 243
depreciation expense amount.244

       (21)(a) If the taxpayer was required to add an amount under 245
division (A)(20)(a) of this section for a taxable year, deduct 246
one-fifth of the amount so added for each of the five succeeding 247
taxable years.248

       (b) If the amount deducted under division (A)(21)(a) of this 249
section is attributable to an add-back allocated under division 250
(A)(20)(c) of this section, the amount deducted shall be sitused 251
to the same location. Otherwise, the add-back shall be apportioned 252
using the apportionment factors for the taxable year in which the 253
deduction is taken, subject to one or more of the four alternative 254
methods of apportionment enumerated in section 5747.21 of the 255
Revised Code.256

       (c) No deduction is available under division (A)(21)(a) of 257
this section with regard to any depreciation allowed by section 258
168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and by the qualifying section 259
179 depreciation expense amount to the extent that such 260
depreciation resulted in or increased a federal net operating loss 261
carryback or carryforward to a taxable year to which division 262
(A)(20)(d) of this section does not apply.263

       (22) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded 264

former spouse of such a taxpayer under the survivor benefit plan 306
on account of such a taxpayer's death. If the taxpayer receives 307
income on account of retirement paid under the federal civil 308
service retirement system or federal employees retirement system, 309
or under any successor retirement program enacted by the congress 310
of the United States that is established and maintained for 311
retired employees of the United States government, and such 312

that is attributable to the taxpayer's military service, to the 316

whole or in part, of assets, net of any related liabilities, that 426
were transferred directly or indirectly, in whole or part, to the 427
trust by any of the sources enumerated in that division shall be 428
ascertained by multiplying the fair market value of the trust's 429
assets, net of related liabilities, by the qualifying ratio, which 430
shall be computed as follows:431

        (i) The first time the trust receives assets, the numerator 432
of the qualifying ratio is the fair market value of those assets 433
at that time, net of any related liabilities, from sources 434
enumerated in division (I)(3)(a) of this section. The denominator 435
of the qualifying ratio is the fair market value of all the 436
trust's assets at that time, net of any related liabilities.437

        (ii) Each subsequent time the trust receives assets, a 438
revised qualifying ratio shall be computed. The numerator of the 439
revised qualifying ratio is the sum of (1) the fair market value 440
of the trust's assets immediately prior to the subsequent 441
transfer, net of any related liabilities, multiplied by the 442
qualifying ratio last computed without regard to the subsequent 443
transfer, and (2) the fair market value of the subsequently 444
transferred assets at the time transferred, net of any related 445
liabilities, from sources enumerated in division (I)(3)(a) of this 446
section. The denominator of the revised qualifying ratio is the 447
fair market value of all the trust's assets immediately after the 448
subsequent transfer, net of any related liabilities.449

       (iii) Whether a transfer to the trust is by or from any of 450
the sources enumerated in division (I)(3)(a) of this section shall 451
be ascertained without regard to the domicile of the trust's 452
beneficiaries.453

chapter, and prior to the death of the decedent the trust became 482
irrevocable while the decedent was domiciled in this state for the 483
purposes of this chapter.484

        (iii) The transfer is made on account of a contractual 485
relationship existing directly or indirectly between the 486
transferor and either the decedent or the estate of the decedent 487
at any time prior to the date of the decedent's death, and the 488

this section applies only to taxable years of a trust beginning in 659

section.793

divisions (BB)(4)(a) and (c) of this section do not fairly 795
represent the modified Ohio taxable income of the trust in this 796
state, the alternative methods described in division (C) of 797
section 5747.21 of the Revised Code may be applied in the manner 798
and to the same extent provided in that section.799

       (5)(a) Except as set forth in division (BB)(5)(b) of this 800
section, "qualifying investee" means a person in which a trust has 801
an equity or ownership interest, or a person or unit of government 802

of this section, all of the following apply:806

        (i) If the qualifying investee is a member of a qualifying 807
controlled group on the last day of the qualifying investee's 808
fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the date on 809
which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, then "qualifying 810
investee" includes all persons in the qualifying controlled group 811
on such last day.812

        (ii) If the qualifying investee, or if the qualifying 813
investee and any members of the qualifying controlled group of 814
which the qualifying investee is a member on the last day of the 815
qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately 816
prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, 817
separately or cumulatively own, directly or indirectly, on the 818
last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year 819
ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust recognizes 820
the qualifying trust amount, more than fifty per cent of the 821
equity of a pass-through entity, then the qualifying investee and 822
the other members are deemed to own the proportionate share of the 823
pass-through entity's physical assets which the pass-through 824
entity directly or indirectly owns on the last day of the 825
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or 826
with the last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar 827
year ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust 828
recognizes the qualifying trust amount.829

section, "upper level pass-through entity" means a pass-through 831
entity directly or indirectly owning any equity of another 832

a qualifying investee, is deemed to own, on the last day of the 836
upper level pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year, the 837
proportionate share of the lower level pass-through entity's 838
physical assets that the lower level pass-through entity directly 839
or indirectly owns on the last day of the lower level pass-through 840
entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or with the last 841
day of the upper level pass-through entity's fiscal or calendar 842
year. If the upper level pass-through entity directly and 843
indirectly owns less than fifty per cent of the equity of the 844
lower level pass-through entity on each day of the upper level 845
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year in which or with 846
which ends the calendar or fiscal year of the lower level 847
pass-through entity and if, based upon clear and convincing 848
evidence, complete information about the location and cost of the 849
physical assets of the lower pass-through entity is not available 850
to the upper level pass-through entity, then solely for purposes 851
of ascertaining if a gain or loss constitutes a qualifying trust 852
