to the Internal Revenue Code includes other laws of the United | 665 |

As used in this chapter: | 667 |
(A) "Adjusted gross income" or "Ohio adjusted gross income" | 668 |
means federal adjusted gross income, as defined and used in the | 669 |
Internal Revenue Code, adjusted as provided in this section: | 670 |

years beginning before 2002, the portion, if any, of such | 694 |
distribution that does not exceed the undistributed net income of | 695 |
the trust for the three taxable years preceding the taxable year | 696 |
in which the distribution is made to the extent that the portion | 697 |
was not included in the trust's taxable income for any of the | 698 |
trust's taxable years beginning in 2002 or thereafter. | 699 |
"Undistributed net income of a trust" means the taxable income of | 700 |
the trust increased by (a)(i) the additions to adjusted gross | 701 |
income required under division (A) of this section and (ii) the | 702 |

income included in the adjusted gross income of a beneficiary | 710 |
shall reduce the undistributed net income of the trust commencing | 711 |
with the earliest years of the accumulation period. | 712 |
(7) Deduct the amount of wages and salaries, if any, not | 713 |
otherwise allowable as a deduction but that would have been | 714 |

Revenue Code not been in effect. | 718 |

exchange, or other disposition of public obligations to the extent | 724 |

income for the taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during | 733 |
the taxable year for medical care insurance and qualified | 734 |
long-term care insurance for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, | 735 |
and dependents. No deduction for medical care insurance under | 736 |
division (A)(11) of this section shall be allowed either to any | 737 |
taxpayer who is eligible to participate in any subsidized health | 738 |
plan maintained by any employer of the taxpayer or of the | 739 |
taxpayer's spouse, or to any taxpayer who is entitled to, or on | 740 |
application would be entitled to, benefits under part A of Title | 741 |
XVIII of the "Social Security Act," 49 Stat. 620 (1935), 42 U.S.C. | 742 |

the employer pays any portion of the plan's cost. The deduction | 745 |

related insurance premium dividends received during the taxable | 748 |
year. | 749 |

in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income during the | 751 |
taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during the taxable | 752 |
year, not compensated for by any insurance or otherwise, for | 753 |
medical care of the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, and | 754 |
dependents, to the extent the expenses exceed seven and one-half | 755 |
per cent of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income. | 756 |
(c) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded | 757 |
in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income, any amount | 758 |
included in federal adjusted gross income under section 105 or not | 759 |
excluded under section 106 of the Internal Revenue Code solely | 760 |
because it relates to an accident and health plan for a person who | 761 |
otherwise would be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" | 762 |
under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact | 763 |
that the person fails to meet the income and support limitations | 764 |
under section 152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code. | 765 |
(d) For purposes of division (A)(11) of this section, | 766 |
"medical care" has the meaning given in section 213 of the | 767 |

and exclusions set forth therein, and "qualified long-term care" | 769 |
has the same meaning given in section 7702B(c) of the Internal | 770 |
Revenue Code. Solely for purposes of divisions (A)(11)(a) and (c) | 771 |
of this section, "dependent" includes a person who otherwise would | 772 |
be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" under section | 773 |
152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact that the person | 774 |
fails to meet the income and support limitations under section | 775 |
152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code. | 776 |
(12)(a) Deduct any amount included in federal adjusted gross | 777 |
income solely because the amount represents a reimbursement or | 778 |
refund of expenses that in any year the taxpayer had deducted as | 779 |
an itemized deduction pursuant to section 63 of the Internal | 780 |
Revenue Code and applicable United States department of the | 781 |
treasury regulations. The deduction otherwise allowed under | 782 |
division (A)(12)(a) of this section shall be reduced to the extent | 783 |
the reimbursement is attributable to an amount the taxpayer | 784 |
deducted under this section in any taxable year. | 785 |
(b) Add any amount not otherwise included in Ohio adjusted | 786 |
gross income for any taxable year to the extent that the amount is | 787 |
attributable to the recovery during the taxable year of any amount | 788 |
deducted or excluded in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross | 789 |
income in any taxable year. | 790 |
(13) Deduct any portion of the deduction described in section | 791 |
1341(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, for repaying previously | 792 |
reported income received under a claim of right, that meets both | 793 |
of the following requirements: | 794 |
(a) It is allowable for repayment of an item that was | 795 |
included in the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for a prior | 796 |
taxable year and did not qualify for a credit under division (A) | 797 |
or (B) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for that year; | 798 |
(b) It does not otherwise reduce the taxpayer's adjusted | 799 |
gross income for the current or any other taxable year. | 800 |
(14) Deduct an amount equal to the deposits made to, and net | 801 |
investment earnings of, a medical savings account during the | 802 |
taxable year, in accordance with section 3924.66 of the Revised | 803 |
Code. The deduction allowed by division (A)(14) of this section | 804 |
does not apply to medical savings account deposits and earnings | 805 |
otherwise deducted or excluded for the current or any other | 806 |
taxable year from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income. | 807 |
(15)(a) Add an amount equal to the funds withdrawn from a | 808 |
medical savings account during the taxable year, and the net | 809 |
investment earnings on those funds, when the funds withdrawn were | 810 |
used for any purpose other than to reimburse an account holder | 811 |
for, or to pay, eligible medical expenses, in accordance with | 812 |
section 3924.66 of the Revised Code; | 813 |

trust by any of the sources enumerated in that division shall be | 1156 |
ascertained by multiplying the fair market value of the trust's | 1157 |
assets, net of related liabilities, by the qualifying ratio, which | 1158 |
shall be computed as follows: | 1159 |
(i) The first time the trust receives assets, the numerator | 1160 |
of the qualifying ratio is the fair market value of those assets | 1161 |

(ii) Each subsequent time the trust receives assets, a | 1166 |
revised qualifying ratio shall be computed. The numerator of the | 1167 |
revised qualifying ratio is the sum of (1) the fair market value | 1168 |
of the trust's assets immediately prior to the subsequent | 1169 |
transfer, net of any related liabilities, multiplied by the | 1170 |
qualifying ratio last computed without regard to the subsequent | 1171 |
transfer, and (2) the fair market value of the subsequently | 1172 |
transferred assets at the time transferred, net of any related | 1173 |
liabilities, from sources enumerated in division (I)(3)(a) of this | 1174 |
section. The denominator of the revised qualifying ratio is the | 1175 |
fair market value of all the trust's assets immediately after the | 1176 |
subsequent transfer, net of any related liabilities. | 1177 |
(iii) Whether a transfer to the trust is by or from any of | 1178 |
the sources enumerated in division (I)(3)(a) of this section shall | 1179 |
be ascertained without regard to the domicile of the trust's | 1180 |
beneficiaries. | 1181 |

the testator's death for purposes of the taxes levied under | 1187 |
Chapter 5731. of the Revised Code. | 1188 |
(ii) A trust is described in division (I)(3)(e)(ii) of this | 1189 |
section if the transfer is a qualifying transfer described in any | 1190 |

trust is a pass-through entity investor, section 5747.231 of the | 1379 |
Revised Code applies in ascertaining if the trust is eligible to | 1380 |
claim the deduction provided by division (S)(12) of this section | 1381 |

manner as an individual's Ohio adjusted gross income is computed | 1395 |
under this section. In the case of a trust, division (S)(14) of | 1396 |
this section applies only to any of the trust's taxable years | 1397 |

(i) The trust's modified business income; | 1477 |
(ii) The trust's qualifying investment income, as defined in | 1478 |
section 5747.012 of the Revised Code, but only to the extent the | 1479 |

not a resident as ascertained in accordance with division | 1501 |
(I)(3)(d) of this section, the amount of its modified nonbusiness | 1502 |
income satisfying the descriptions in divisions (B)(2) to (5) of | 1503 |

portion of modified nonbusiness income recognized from the sale, | 1508 |
exchange, or other disposition of a debt interest in or equity | 1509 |
interest in a section 5747.212 entity, as defined in section | 1510 |
5747.212 of the Revised Code, without regard to division (A) of | 1511 |

with section 5747.20 of the Revised Code but shall be apportioned | 1513 |
to this state in accordance with division (B) of section 5747.212 | 1514 |
of the Revised Code without regard to division (A) of that | 1515 |
section. | 1516 |
If the allocation and apportionment of a trust's income under | 1517 |
divisions (BB)(4)(a) and (c) of this section do not fairly | 1518 |
represent the modified Ohio taxable income of the trust in this | 1519 |
state, the alternative methods described in division (C) of | 1520 |
section 5747.21 of the Revised Code may be applied in the manner | 1521 |

section, "qualifying investee" means a person in which a trust has | 1524 |
an equity or ownership interest, or a person or unit of government | 1525 |
the debt obligations of either of which are owned by a trust. For | 1526 |
the purposes of division (BB)(2)(a) of this section and for the | 1527 |
purpose of computing the fraction described in division (BB)(4)(b) | 1528 |
of this section, all of the following apply: | 1529 |
(i) If the qualifying investee is a member of a qualifying | 1530 |
controlled group on the last day of the qualifying investee's | 1531 |
fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the date on | 1532 |
which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, then "qualifying | 1533 |
investee" includes all persons in the qualifying controlled group | 1534 |
on such last day. | 1535 |
(ii) If the qualifying investee, or if the qualifying | 1536 |
investee and any members of the qualifying controlled group of | 1537 |
which the qualifying investee is a member on the last day of the | 1538 |
qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately | 1539 |
prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, | 1540 |
separately or cumulatively own, directly or indirectly, on the | 1541 |
last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year | 1542 |
ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust recognizes | 1543 |
the qualifying trust amount, more than fifty per cent of the | 1544 |
equity of a pass-through entity, then the qualifying investee and | 1545 |
the other members are deemed to own the proportionate share of the | 1546 |
pass-through entity's physical assets which the pass-through | 1547 |
entity directly or indirectly owns on the last day of the | 1548 |
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or | 1549 |
with the last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar | 1550 |
year ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust | 1551 |
recognizes the qualifying trust amount. | 1552 |
(iii) For the purposes of division (BB)(5)(a)(iii) of this | 1553 |
section, "upper level pass-through entity" means a pass-through | 1554 |
entity directly or indirectly owning any equity of another | 1555 |
pass-through entity, and "lower level pass-through entity" means | 1556 |
that other pass-through entity. | 1557 |
An upper level pass-through entity, whether or not it is also | 1558 |
a qualifying investee, is deemed to own, on the last day of the | 1559 |
upper level pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year, the | 1560 |
proportionate share of the lower level pass-through entity's | 1561 |
physical assets that the lower level pass-through entity directly | 1562 |
or indirectly owns on the last day of the lower level pass-through | 1563 |
entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or with the last | 1564 |
day of the upper level pass-through entity's fiscal or calendar | 1565 |
year. If the upper level pass-through entity directly and | 1566 |
indirectly owns less than fifty per cent of the equity of the | 1567 |
lower level pass-through entity on each day of the upper level | 1568 |
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year in which or with | 1569 |
which ends the calendar or fiscal year of the lower level | 1570 |
pass-through entity and if, based upon clear and convincing | 1571 |
evidence, complete information about the location and cost of the | 1572 |
physical assets of the lower pass-through entity is not available | 1573 |
to the upper level pass-through entity, then solely for purposes | 1574 |
of ascertaining if a gain or loss constitutes a qualifying trust | 1575 |
