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

       Section 1. That section 5747.01 of the Revised Code be 9
amended to read as follows:10

       Sec. 5747.01.  Except as otherwise expressly provided or 11
clearly appearing from the context, any term used in this chapter 12
that is not otherwise defined in this section has the same meaning 13
as when used in a comparable context in the laws of the United 14
States relating to federal income taxes or if not used in a 15
comparable context in those laws, has the same meaning as in 16
section 5733.40 of the Revised Code. Any reference in this chapter 17
to the Internal Revenue Code includes other laws of the United 18
States relating to federal income taxes.19

       As used in this chapter:20

       (A) "Adjusted gross income" or "Ohio adjusted gross income" 21
means federal adjusted gross income, as defined and used in the 22
Internal Revenue Code, adjusted as provided in this section:23

       (1) Add interest or dividends on obligations or securities of 24
any state or of any political subdivision or authority of any 25
state, other than this state and its subdivisions and authorities.26

       (2) Add interest or dividends on obligations of any 27
authority, commission, instrumentality, territory, or possession 28
of the United States to the extent that the interest or dividends 29
are exempt from federal income taxes but not from state income 30
taxes.31

       (3) Deduct interest or dividends on obligations of the United 32
States and its territories and possessions or of any authority, 33
commission, or instrumentality of the United States to the extent 34
that the interest or dividends are included in federal adjusted 35
gross income but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of 36
the United States.37

       (4) Deduct disability and survivor's benefits to the extent 38
included in federal adjusted gross income.39

       (5) Deduct benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act 40
and tier 1 railroad retirement benefits to the extent included in 41
federal adjusted gross income under section 86 of the Internal 42
Revenue Code.43

       (6) In the case of a taxpayer who is a beneficiary of a trust 44
that makes an accumulation distribution as defined in section 665 45
of the Internal Revenue Code, add, for the beneficiary's taxable 46
years beginning before 2002, the portion, if any, of such 47
distribution that does not exceed the undistributed net income of 48
the trust for the three taxable years preceding the taxable year 49
in which the distribution is made to the extent that the portion 50
was not included in the trust's taxable income for any of the 51
trust's taxable years beginning in 2002 or thereafter. 52
"Undistributed net income of a trust" means the taxable income of 53
the trust increased by (a)(i) the additions to adjusted gross 54
income required under division (A) of this section and (ii) the 55
personal exemptions allowed to the trust pursuant to section 56
642(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and decreased by (b)(i) the 57
deductions to adjusted gross income required under division (A) of 58
this section, (ii) the amount of federal income taxes attributable 59
to such income, and (iii) the amount of taxable income that has 60
been included in the adjusted gross income of a beneficiary by 61
reason of a prior accumulation distribution. Any undistributed net 62
income included in the adjusted gross income of a beneficiary 63
shall reduce the undistributed net income of the trust commencing 64
with the earliest years of the accumulation period.65

       (7) Deduct the amount of wages and salaries, if any, not 66
otherwise allowable as a deduction but that would have been 67
allowable as a deduction in computing federal adjusted gross 68
income for the taxable year, had the targeted jobs credit allowed 69
and determined under sections 38, 51, and 52 of the Internal 70
Revenue Code not been in effect.71

       (8) Deduct any interest or interest equivalent on public 72
obligations and purchase obligations to the extent that the 73
interest or interest equivalent is included in federal adjusted 74
gross income.75

       (9) Add any loss or deduct any gain resulting from the sale, 76
exchange, or other disposition of public obligations to the extent 77
that the loss has been deducted or the gain has been included in 78
computing federal adjusted gross income.79

       (10) Deduct or add amounts, as provided under section 5747.70 80
of the Revised Code, related to contributions to variable college 81
savings program accounts made or tuition units purchased pursuant 82
to Chapter 3334. of the Revised Code.83

       (11)(a) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise allowable as a 84
deduction or exclusion in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross 85
income for the taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during 86
the taxable year for medical care insurance and qualified 87
long-term care insurance for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, 88
and dependents. No deduction for medical care insurance under 89
division (A)(11) of this section shall be allowed either to any 90
taxpayer who is eligible to participate in any subsidized health 91
plan maintained by any employer of the taxpayer or of the 92
taxpayer's spouse, or to any taxpayer who is entitled to, or on 93
application would be entitled to, benefits under part A of Title 94
XVIII of the "Social Security Act," 49 Stat. 620 (1935), 42 U.S.C. 95
301, as amended. For the purposes of division (A)(11)(a) of this 96
section, "subsidized health plan" means a health plan for which 97
the employer pays any portion of the plan's cost. The deduction 98
allowed under division (A)(11)(a) of this section shall be the net 99
of any related premium refunds, related premium reimbursements, or 100
related insurance premium dividends received during the taxable 101
year.102

       (b) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded 103
in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income during the 104
taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during the taxable 105
year, not compensated for by any insurance or otherwise, for 106
medical care of the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, and 107
dependents, to the extent the expenses exceed seven and one-half 108
per cent of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income.109

       (c) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded 110
in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income, any amount 111
included in federal adjusted gross income under section 105 or not 112
excluded under section 106 of the Internal Revenue Code solely 113
because it relates to an accident and health plan for a person who 114
otherwise would be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" 115
under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact 116
that the person fails to meet the income and support limitations 117
under section 152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code. 118

       (d) For purposes of division (A)(11) of this section, 119
"medical care" has the meaning given in section 213 of the 120
Internal Revenue Code, subject to the special rules, limitations, 121
and exclusions set forth therein, and "qualified long-term care" 122
has the same meaning given in section 7702B(c) of the Internal 123
Revenue Code. Solely for purposes of divisions (A)(11)(a) and (c) 124
of this section, "dependent" includes a person who otherwise would 125
be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" under section 126
152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact that the person 127
fails to meet the income and support limitations under section 128
152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code.129

       (12)(a) Deduct any amount included in federal adjusted gross 130
income solely because the amount represents a reimbursement or 131
refund of expenses that in any year the taxpayer had deducted as 132
an itemized deduction pursuant to section 63 of the Internal 133
Revenue Code and applicable United States department of the 134
treasury regulations. The deduction otherwise allowed under 135
division (A)(12)(a) of this section shall be reduced to the extent 136
the reimbursement is attributable to an amount the taxpayer 137
deducted under this section in any taxable year.138

       (b) Add any amount not otherwise included in Ohio adjusted 139
gross income for any taxable year to the extent that the amount is 140
attributable to the recovery during the taxable year of any amount 141
deducted or excluded in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross 142
income in any taxable year.143

       (13) Deduct any portion of the deduction described in section 144
1341(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, for repaying previously 145
reported income received under a claim of right, that meets both 146
of the following requirements:147

       (a) It is allowable for repayment of an item that was 148
included in the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for a prior 149
taxable year and did not qualify for a credit under division (A) 150
or (B) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for that year;151

       (b) It does not otherwise reduce the taxpayer's adjusted 152
gross income for the current or any other taxable year.153

       (14) Deduct an amount equal to the deposits made to, and net 154
investment earnings of, a medical savings account during the 155
taxable year, in accordance with section 3924.66 of the Revised 156
Code. The deduction allowed by division (A)(14) of this section 157
does not apply to medical savings account deposits and earnings 158
otherwise deducted or excluded for the current or any other 159
taxable year from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income.160

       (15)(a) Add an amount equal to the funds withdrawn from a 161
medical savings account during the taxable year, and the net 162
investment earnings on those funds, when the funds withdrawn were 163
used for any purpose other than to reimburse an account holder 164
for, or to pay, eligible medical expenses, in accordance with 165
section 3924.66 of the Revised Code;166

       (b) Add the amounts distributed from a medical savings 167
account under division (A)(2) of section 3924.68 of the Revised 168
Code during the taxable year.169

       (16) Add any amount claimed as a credit under section 170
5747.059 of the Revised Code to the extent that such amount 171
satisfies either of the following:172

       (a) The amount was deducted or excluded from the computation 173
of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income as required to be 174
reported for the taxpayer's taxable year under the Internal 175
Revenue Code;176

       (b) The amount resulted in a reduction of the taxpayer's 177
federal adjusted gross income as required to be reported for any 178
of the taxpayer's taxable years under the Internal Revenue Code.179

       (17) Deduct the amount contributed by the taxpayer to an 180
individual development account program established by a county 181
department of job and family services pursuant to sections 329.11 182
to 329.14 of the Revised Code for the purpose of matching funds 183
deposited by program participants. On request of the tax 184
commissioner, the taxpayer shall provide any information that, in 185
the tax commissioner's opinion, is necessary to establish the 186
amount deducted under division (A)(17) of this section.187

       (18) Beginning in taxable year 2001 but not for any taxable 188
year beginning after December 31, 2005, if the taxpayer is married 189
and files a joint return and the combined federal adjusted gross 190
income of the taxpayer and the taxpayer's spouse for the taxable 191
year does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars, or if the 192
taxpayer is single and has a federal adjusted gross income for the 193
taxable year not exceeding fifty thousand dollars, deduct amounts 194

spouse, or any dependent of the taxpayer, who is a resident of 197
this state and is enrolled in or attending a program that 198
culminates in a degree or diploma at an eligible institution. The 199
deduction may be claimed only to the extent that qualified tuition 200
and fees are not otherwise deducted or excluded for any taxable 201
year from federal or Ohio adjusted gross income. The deduction may 202
not be claimed for educational expenses for which the taxpayer 203
claims a credit under section 5747.27 of the Revised Code.204

       (19) Add any reimbursement received during the taxable year 205
of any amount the taxpayer deducted under division (A)(18) of this 206

portion of modified nonbusiness income recognized from the sale, 850
exchange, or other disposition of a debt interest in or equity 851
interest in a section 5747.212 entity, as defined in section 852
5747.212 of the Revised Code, without regard to division (A) of 853
that section, shall not be allocated to this state in accordance 854
with section 5747.20 of the Revised Code but shall be apportioned 855
to this state in accordance with division (B) of section 5747.212 856
of the Revised Code without regard to division (A) of that 857
section.858

       If the allocation and apportionment of a trust's income under 859
divisions (BB)(4)(a) and (c) of this section do not fairly 860
represent the modified Ohio taxable income of the trust in this 861
state, the alternative methods described in division (C) of 862
section 5747.21 of the Revised Code may be applied in the manner 863
and to the same extent provided in that section.864

       (5)(a) Except as set forth in division (BB)(5)(b) of this 865
section, "qualifying investee" means a person in which a trust has 866
an equity or ownership interest, or a person or unit of government 867
the debt obligations of either of which are owned by a trust. For 868
the purposes of division (BB)(2)(a) of this section and for the 869
purpose of computing the fraction described in division (BB)(4)(b) 870
of this section, all of the following apply:871

        (i) If the qualifying investee is a member of a qualifying 872
controlled group on the last day of the qualifying investee's 873
fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the date on 874
which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, then "qualifying 875
investee" includes all persons in the qualifying controlled group 876
on such last day.877

        (ii) If the qualifying investee, or if the qualifying 878
investee and any members of the qualifying controlled group of 879
which the qualifying investee is a member on the last day of the 880
qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately 881
prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, 882
separately or cumulatively own, directly or indirectly, on the 883
last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year 884
ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust recognizes 885
the qualifying trust amount, more than fifty per cent of the 886
equity of a pass-through entity, then the qualifying investee and 887
the other members are deemed to own the proportionate share of the 888
pass-through entity's physical assets which the pass-through 889
entity directly or indirectly owns on the last day of the 890
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or 891
with the last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar 892
year ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust 893
recognizes the qualifying trust amount.894

        (iii) For the purposes of division (BB)(5)(a)(iii) of this 895
section, "upper level pass-through entity" means a pass-through 896
entity directly or indirectly owning any equity of another 897
pass-through entity, and "lower level pass-through entity" means 898
that other pass-through entity.899

        An upper level pass-through entity, whether or not it is also 900
a qualifying investee, is deemed to own, on the last day of the 901
upper level pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year, the 902
proportionate share of the lower level pass-through entity's 903
physical assets that the lower level pass-through entity directly 904
or indirectly owns on the last day of the lower level pass-through 905
entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or with the last 906
day of the upper level pass-through entity's fiscal or calendar 907
year. If the upper level pass-through entity directly and 908
indirectly owns less than fifty per cent of the equity of the 909
lower level pass-through entity on each day of the upper level 910
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year in which or with 911
which ends the calendar or fiscal year of the lower level 912
pass-through entity and if, based upon clear and convincing 913
evidence, complete information about the location and cost of the 914
physical assets of the lower pass-through entity is not available 915
to the upper level pass-through entity, then solely for purposes 916
of ascertaining if a gain or loss constitutes a qualifying trust 917
amount, the upper level pass-through entity shall be deemed as 918
owning no equity of the lower level pass-through entity for each 919
day during the upper level pass-through entity's calendar or 920
fiscal year in which or with which ends the lower level 921
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year. Nothing in division 922
(BB)(5)(a)(iii) of this section shall be construed to provide for 923
any deduction or exclusion in computing any trust's Ohio taxable 924
income.925

       (b) With respect to a trust that is not a resident for the 926
taxable year and with respect to a part of a trust that is not a 927
resident for the taxable year, "qualifying investee" for that 928
taxable year does not include a C corporation if both of the 929
following apply:930

       (i) During the taxable year the trust or part of the trust 931
recognizes a gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or other 932
disposition of equity or ownership interests in, or debt 933
obligations of, the C corporation.934

       (ii) Such gain or loss constitutes nonbusiness income.935

        (6) "Available" means information is such that a person is 936
able to learn of the information by the due date plus extensions, 937
if any, for filing the return for the taxable year in which the 938
trust recognizes the gain or loss.939

        (CC) "Qualifying controlled group" has the same meaning as in 940
section 5733.04 of the Revised Code.941

        (DD) "Related member" has the same meaning as in section 942
5733.042 of the Revised Code.943

       (EE)(1) For the purposes of division (EE) of this section: 944

       (a) "Qualifying person" means any person other than a 945
qualifying corporation.946

       (b) "Qualifying corporation" means any person classified for 947
federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a 948
corporation, except either of the following:949

       (i) A corporation that has made an election under subchapter 950
S, chapter one, subtitle A, of the Internal Revenue Code for its 951

       (ii) A subsidiary that is wholly owned by any corporation 954
that has made an election under subchapter S, chapter one, 955
subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code for its taxable year 956
ending within, or on the last day of, the investor's taxable year.957

       (2) For the purposes of this chapter, unless expressly stated 958
otherwise, no qualifying person indirectly owns any asset directly 959
or indirectly owned by any qualifying corporation.960

       (FF) For purposes of this chapter and Chapter 5751. of the 961
Revised Code:962

       (1) "Trust" does not include a qualified pre-income tax 963
trust.964

       (2) A "qualified pre-income tax trust" is any pre-income tax 965

directly, indirectly, or constructively through related interests, 972
five per cent or more of the ownership or equity interests. The 973
trustee shall notify the tax commissioner in writing of the 974
election on or before April 15, 2006. The election, if timely 975
