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

       Section 1. That sections 5747.01, 5747.02, and 5747.055 of 6
the Revised Code be amended to read as follows:7

       Sec. 5747.01.  Except as otherwise expressly provided or 8
clearly appearing from the context, any term used in this chapter 9
that is not otherwise defined in this section has the same meaning 10
as when used in a comparable context in the laws of the United 11
States relating to federal income taxes or if not used in a 12
comparable context in those laws, has the same meaning as in 13
section 5733.40 of the Revised Code. Any reference in this chapter 14
to the Internal Revenue Code includes other laws of the United 15
States relating to federal income taxes.16

       As used in this chapter:17

       (A) "Adjusted gross income" or "Ohio adjusted gross income" 18
means federal adjusted gross income, as defined and used in the 19
Internal Revenue Code, adjusted as provided in this section:20

       (1) Add interest or dividends on obligations or securities of 21
any state or of any political subdivision or authority of any 22
state, other than this state and its subdivisions and authorities.23

       (2) Add interest or dividends on obligations of any 24
authority, commission, instrumentality, territory, or possession 25
of the United States to the extent that the interest or dividends 26
are exempt from federal income taxes but not from state income 27
taxes.28

       (3) Deduct interest or dividends on obligations of the United 29
States and its territories and possessions or of any authority, 30
commission, or instrumentality of the United States to the extent 31
that the interest or dividends are included in federal adjusted 32
gross income but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of 33
the United States.34

       (4) Deduct disability and survivor's benefits to the extent 35
included in federal adjusted gross income.36

       (5) Deduct benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act 37
and tier 1 railroad retirement benefits to the extent included in 38
federal adjusted gross income under section 86 of the Internal 39
Revenue Code.40

       (6) In the case of a taxpayer who is a beneficiary of a trust 41
that makes an accumulation distribution as defined in section 665 42
of the Internal Revenue Code, add, for the beneficiary's taxable 43
years beginning before 2002, the portion, if any, of such 44
distribution that does not exceed the undistributed net income of 45
the trust for the three taxable years preceding the taxable year 46
in which the distribution is made to the extent that the portion 47
was not included in the trust's taxable income for any of the 48
trust's taxable years beginning in 2002 or thereafter. 49
"Undistributed net income of a trust" means the taxable income of 50
the trust increased by (a)(i) the additions to adjusted gross 51
income required under division (A) of this section and (ii) the 52
personal exemptions allowed to the trust pursuant to section 53
642(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and decreased by (b)(i) the 54
deductions to adjusted gross income required under division (A) of 55
this section, (ii) the amount of federal income taxes attributable 56
to such income, and (iii) the amount of taxable income that has 57
been included in the adjusted gross income of a beneficiary by 58
reason of a prior accumulation distribution. Any undistributed net 59
income included in the adjusted gross income of a beneficiary 60
shall reduce the undistributed net income of the trust commencing 61
with the earliest years of the accumulation period.62

       (7) Deduct the amount of wages and salaries, if any, not 63
otherwise allowable as a deduction but that would have been 64
allowable as a deduction in computing federal adjusted gross 65
income for the taxable year, had the targeted jobs credit allowed 66
and determined under sections 38, 51, and 52 of the Internal 67
Revenue Code not been in effect.68

       (8) Deduct any interest or interest equivalent on public 69
obligations and purchase obligations to the extent that the 70
interest or interest equivalent is included in federal adjusted 71
gross income.72

       (9) Add any loss or deduct any gain resulting from the sale, 73
exchange, or other disposition of public obligations to the extent 74
that the loss has been deducted or the gain has been included in 75
computing federal adjusted gross income.76

       (10) Deduct or add amounts, as provided under section 5747.70 77
of the Revised Code, related to contributions to variable college 78
savings program accounts made or tuition units purchased pursuant 79
to Chapter 3334. of the Revised Code.80

       (11)(a) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise allowable as a 81
deduction or exclusion in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross 82
income for the taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during 83
the taxable year for medical care insurance and qualified 84
long-term care insurance for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, 85
and dependents. No deduction for medical care insurance under 86
division (A)(11) of this section shall be allowed either to any 87
taxpayer who is eligible to participate in any subsidized health 88
plan maintained by any employer of the taxpayer or of the 89
taxpayer's spouse, or to any taxpayer who is entitled to, or on 90
application would be entitled to, benefits under part A of Title 91
XVIII of the "Social Security Act," 49 Stat. 620 (1935), 42 U.S.C. 92
301, as amended. For the purposes of division (A)(11)(a) of this 93
section, "subsidized health plan" means a health plan for which 94
the employer pays any portion of the plan's cost. The deduction 95
allowed under division (A)(11)(a) of this section shall be the net 96
of any related premium refunds, related premium reimbursements, or 97
related insurance premium dividends received during the taxable 98
year.99

       (b) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded 100
in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income during the 101
taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during the taxable 102
year, not compensated for by any insurance or otherwise, for 103
medical care of the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, and 104
dependents, to the extent the expenses exceed seven and one-half 105
per cent of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income.106

       (c) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded 107
in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income, any amount 108
included in federal adjusted gross income under section 105 or not 109
excluded under section 106 of the Internal Revenue Code solely 110
because it relates to an accident and health plan for a person who 111
otherwise would be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" 112
under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact 113
that the person fails to meet the income and support limitations 114
under section 152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code. 115

       (d) For purposes of division (A)(11) of this section, 116
"medical care" has the meaning given in section 213 of the 117
Internal Revenue Code, subject to the special rules, limitations, 118
and exclusions set forth therein, and "qualified long-term care" 119
has the same meaning given in section 7702B(c) of the Internal 120
Revenue Code. Solely for purposes of divisions (A)(11)(a) and (c) 121
of this section, "dependent" includes a person who otherwise would 122
be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" under section 123
152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact that the person 124
fails to meet the income and support limitations under section 125
152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code.126

       (12)(a) Deduct any amount included in federal adjusted gross 127
income solely because the amount represents a reimbursement or 128
refund of expenses that in any year the taxpayer had deducted as 129
an itemized deduction pursuant to section 63 of the Internal 130
Revenue Code and applicable United States department of the 131
treasury regulations. The deduction otherwise allowed under 132
division (A)(12)(a) of this section shall be reduced to the extent 133
the reimbursement is attributable to an amount the taxpayer 134
deducted under this section in any taxable year.135

       (b) Add any amount not otherwise included in Ohio adjusted 136
gross income for any taxable year to the extent that the amount is 137
attributable to the recovery during the taxable year of any amount 138
deducted or excluded in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross 139
income in any taxable year.140

       (13) Deduct any portion of the deduction described in section 141
1341(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, for repaying previously 142
reported income received under a claim of right, that meets both 143
of the following requirements:144

       (a) It is allowable for repayment of an item that was 145
included in the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for a prior 146
taxable year and did not qualify for a credit under division (A) 147
or (B) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for that year;148

       (b) It does not otherwise reduce the taxpayer's adjusted 149
gross income for the current or any other taxable year.150

       (14) Deduct an amount equal to the deposits made to, and net 151
investment earnings of, a medical savings account during the 152
taxable year, in accordance with section 3924.66 of the Revised 153
Code. The deduction allowed by division (A)(14) of this section 154
does not apply to medical savings account deposits and earnings 155
otherwise deducted or excluded for the current or any other 156
taxable year from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income.157

       (15)(a) Add an amount equal to the funds withdrawn from a 158
medical savings account during the taxable year, and the net 159
investment earnings on those funds, when the funds withdrawn were 160
used for any purpose other than to reimburse an account holder 161
for, or to pay, eligible medical expenses, in accordance with 162
section 3924.66 of the Revised Code;163

       (b) Add the amounts distributed from a medical savings 164
account under division (A)(2) of section 3924.68 of the Revised 165
Code during the taxable year.166

       (16) Add any amount claimed as a credit under section 167
5747.059 of the Revised Code to the extent that such amount 168
satisfies either of the following:169

       (a) The amount was deducted or excluded from the computation 170
of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income as required to be 171
reported for the taxpayer's taxable year under the Internal 172
Revenue Code;173

       (b) The amount resulted in a reduction of the taxpayer's 174
federal adjusted gross income as required to be reported for any 175
of the taxpayer's taxable years under the Internal Revenue Code.176

       (17) Deduct the amount contributed by the taxpayer to an 177
individual development account program established by a county 178
department of job and family services pursuant to sections 329.11 179
to 329.14 of the Revised Code for the purpose of matching funds 180
deposited by program participants. On request of the tax 181
commissioner, the taxpayer shall provide any information that, in 182
the tax commissioner's opinion, is necessary to establish the 183
amount deducted under division (A)(17) of this section.184

       (18) Beginning in taxable year 2001 but not for any taxable 185
year beginning after December 31, 2005, if the taxpayer is married 186
and files a joint return and the combined federal adjusted gross 187
income of the taxpayer and the taxpayer's spouse for the taxable 188
year does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars, or if the 189
taxpayer is single and has a federal adjusted gross income for the 190
taxable year not exceeding fifty thousand dollars, deduct amounts 191
paid during the taxable year for qualified tuition and fees paid 192
to an eligible institution for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 193
spouse, or any dependent of the taxpayer, who is a resident of 194
this state and is enrolled in or attending a program that 195
culminates in a degree or diploma at an eligible institution. The 196
deduction may be claimed only to the extent that qualified tuition 197
and fees are not otherwise deducted or excluded for any taxable 198
year from federal or Ohio adjusted gross income. The deduction may 199
not be claimed for educational expenses for which the taxpayer 200
claims a credit under section 5747.27 of the Revised Code.201

       (19) Add any reimbursement received during the taxable year 202
of any amount the taxpayer deducted under division (A)(18) of this 203
section in any previous taxable year to the extent the amount is 204
not otherwise included in Ohio adjusted gross income.205

       (20)(a)(i) Add five-sixths of the amount of depreciation 206
expense allowed by subsection (k) of section 168 of the Internal 207
Revenue Code, including the taxpayer's proportionate or 208
distributive share of the amount of depreciation expense allowed 209
by that subsection to a pass-through entity in which the taxpayer 210
has a direct or indirect ownership interest.211

       (ii) Add five-sixths of the amount of qualifying section 179 212
depreciation expense, including a person's proportionate or 213
distributive share of the amount of qualifying section 179 214
depreciation expense allowed to any pass-through entity in which 215
the person has a direct or indirect ownership. For the purposes of 216
this division, "qualifying section 179 depreciation expense" means 217
the difference between (I) the amount of depreciation expense 218
directly or indirectly allowed to the taxpayer under section 179 219
of the Internal Revenue Code, and (II) the amount of depreciation 220
expense directly or indirectly allowed to the taxpayer under 221
section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code as that section existed 222
on December 31, 2002.223

       The tax commissioner, under procedures established by the 224
commissioner, may waive the add-backs related to a pass-through 225
entity if the taxpayer owns, directly or indirectly, less than 226
five per cent of the pass-through entity.227

       (b) Nothing in division (A)(20) of this section shall be 228
construed to adjust or modify the adjusted basis of any asset.229

       (c) To the extent the add-back required under division 230
(A)(20)(a) of this section is attributable to property generating 231
nonbusiness income or loss allocated under section 5747.20 of the 232
Revised Code, the add-back shall be sitused to the same location 233
as the nonbusiness income or loss generated by the property for 234
the purpose of determining the credit under division (A) of 235
section 5747.05 of the Revised Code. Otherwise, the add-back shall 236
be apportioned, subject to one or more of the four alternative 237
methods of apportionment enumerated in section 5747.21 of the 238
Revised Code.239

       (d) For the purposes of division (A) of this section, net 240
operating loss carryback and carryforward shall not include 241
five-sixths of the allowance of any net operating loss deduction 242
carryback or carryforward to the taxable year to the extent such 243
loss resulted from depreciation allowed by section 168(k) of the 244
Internal Revenue Code and by the qualifying section 179 245
depreciation expense amount.246

       (21)(a) If the taxpayer was required to add an amount under 247
division (A)(20)(a) of this section for a taxable year, deduct 248
one-fifth of the amount so added for each of the five succeeding 249
taxable years.250

       (b) If the amount deducted under division (A)(21)(a) of this 251
section is attributable to an add-back allocated under division 252
(A)(20)(c) of this section, the amount deducted shall be sitused 253
to the same location. Otherwise, the add-back shall be apportioned 254
using the apportionment factors for the taxable year in which the 255
deduction is taken, subject to one or more of the four alternative 256
methods of apportionment enumerated in section 5747.21 of the 257
Revised Code.258

       (c) No deduction is available under division (A)(21)(a) of 259
this section with regard to any depreciation allowed by section 260
168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and by the qualifying section 261
179 depreciation expense amount to the extent that such 262
depreciation resulted in or increased a federal net operating loss 263
carryback or carryforward to a taxable year to which division 264
(A)(20)(d) of this section does not apply.265

       (22) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded 266

the Revised Code.270

        (23) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded 271

the taxable year for active duty service in the United States 280
army, air force, navy, marine corps, or coast guard or reserve 281
components thereof or the national guard. The deduction may not be 282
claimed for military pay and allowances received by the taxpayer 283
while the taxpayer is stationed in this state.284

       (25) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise allowable as a 285

incurred by the taxpayer during the taxable year, not to exceed 289
ten thousand dollars. A taxpayer may deduct qualified organ 290
donation expenses only once for all taxable years beginning with 291
taxable years beginning in 2007.292

       For the purposes of division (A)(25) of this section:293

or the national guard, or received by the surviving spouse or 307
former spouse of such a taxpayer under the survivor benefit plan 308
on account of such a taxpayer's death. If the taxpayer receives 309
income on account of retirement paid under the federal civil 310
service retirement system or federal employees retirement system, 311
or under any successor retirement program enacted by the congress 312
of the United States that is established and maintained for 313
retired employees of the United States government, and such 314
retirement income is based, in whole or in part, on credit for the 315
taxpayer's military service, the deduction allowed under this 316
division shall include only that portion of such retirement income 317
that is attributable to the taxpayer's military service, to the 318
extent that portion of such retirement income is otherwise 319
included in federal adjusted gross income and is not otherwise 320
deducted under this section. Any amount deducted under division 321

gross income for the purposes of section 5747.055 of the Revised 323

and that the taxpayer deducted in computing federal taxable 341
income.342

       (30) In the case of an individual taxpayer who has attained 343
seventy and one-half years of age on or before the last day of the 344
taxpayer's taxable year that begins in or after 2013, the taxpayer 345
may elect to deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or 346

a trust document or instrument became irrevocable upon the death 420
of a person who at the time of death was domiciled in this state 421
for purposes of this chapter, that person is a person described in 422
division (I)(3)(a)(iii) of this section.423

trust, "qualifying beneficiary" has the same meaning as "potential 428

"qualifying beneficiary" is any current, future, or contingent 431
beneficiary, but with respect to any trust "qualifying 432
beneficiary" excludes a person or a governmental entity or 433

whole or in part, of assets, net of any related liabilities, that 439
were transferred directly or indirectly, in whole or part, to the 440
trust by any of the sources enumerated in that division shall be 441
ascertained by multiplying the fair market value of the trust's 442
assets, net of related liabilities, by the qualifying ratio, which 443
shall be computed as follows:444

        (i) The first time the trust receives assets, the numerator 445
of the qualifying ratio is the fair market value of those assets 446

of the qualifying ratio is the fair market value of all the 449
trust's assets at that time, net of any related liabilities.450

        (ii) Each subsequent time the trust receives assets, a 451
revised qualifying ratio shall be computed. The numerator of the 452
revised qualifying ratio is the sum of (1) the fair market value 453
of the trust's assets immediately prior to the subsequent 454
transfer, net of any related liabilities, multiplied by the 455
qualifying ratio last computed without regard to the subsequent 456
transfer, and (2) the fair market value of the subsequently 457
transferred assets at the time transferred, net of any related 458
liabilities, from sources enumerated in division (I)(3)(a) of this 459
section. The denominator of the revised qualifying ratio is the 460
fair market value of all the trust's assets immediately after the 461
subsequent transfer, net of any related liabilities.462

on such last day.820

        (ii) If the qualifying investee, or if the qualifying 821
investee and any members of the qualifying controlled group of 822

pass-through entity's physical assets which the pass-through 832
entity directly or indirectly owns on the last day of the 833
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or 834

or indirectly owns on the last day of the lower level pass-through 848
entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or with the last 849
day of the upper level pass-through entity's fiscal or calendar 850
year. If the upper level pass-through entity directly and 851
indirectly owns less than fifty per cent of the equity of the 852
lower level pass-through entity on each day of the upper level 853
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year in which or with 854
which ends the calendar or fiscal year of the lower level 855
pass-through entity and if, based upon clear and convincing 856
evidence, complete information about the location and cost of the 857
physical assets of the lower pass-through entity is not available 858
to the upper level pass-through entity, then solely for purposes 859
of ascertaining if a gain or loss constitutes a qualifying trust 860
amount, the upper level pass-through entity shall be deemed as 861
owning no equity of the lower level pass-through entity for each 862
day during the upper level pass-through entity's calendar or 863
fiscal year in which or with which ends the lower level 864
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year. Nothing in division 865
(BB)(5)(a)(iii) of this section shall be construed to provide for 866
any deduction or exclusion in computing any trust's Ohio taxable 867
income.868

       (b) With respect to a trust that is not a resident for the 869
taxable year and with respect to a part of a trust that is not a 870

taxable year does not include a C corporation if both of the 872
following apply:873

       (i) During the taxable year the trust or part of the trust 874
recognizes a gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or other 875
disposition of equity or ownership interests in, or debt 876

        (6) "Available" means information is such that a person is 879
able to learn of the information by the due date plus extensions, 880
if any, for filing the return for the taxable year in which the 881
trust recognizes the gain or loss.882

        (CC) "Qualifying controlled group" has the same meaning as in 883
section 5733.04 of the Revised Code.884

5733.042 of the Revised Code.886

       (ii) A subsidiary that is wholly owned by any corporation 897
that has made an election under subchapter S, chapter one, 898
subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code for its taxable year 899
ending within, or on the last day of, the investor's taxable year.900

       (2) For the purposes of this chapter, unless expressly stated 901

       In July of each year, beginning in 2010, the tax commissioner 1079
shall adjust the income amounts prescribed in this division by 1080
multiplying the percentage increase in the gross domestic product 1081
deflator computed that year under section 5747.025 of the Revised 1082
Code by each of the income amounts resulting from the adjustment 1083
under this division in the preceding year, adding the resulting 1084
product to the corresponding income amount resulting from the 1085
adjustment in the preceding year, and rounding the resulting sum 1086
to the nearest multiple of fifty dollars. The tax commissioner 1087
also shall recompute each of the tax dollar amounts to the extent 1088
necessary to reflect the adjustment of the income amounts. The 1089
rates of taxation shall not be adjusted. 1090

       The adjusted amounts apply to taxable years beginning in the 1091
calendar year in which the adjustments are made. The tax 1092
commissioner shall not make such adjustments in any year in which 1093
the amount resulting from the adjustment would be less than the 1094
amount resulting from the adjustment in the preceding year. 1095

       (B) If the director of budget and management makes a 1096
certification to the tax commissioner under division (B) of 1097
section 131.44 of the Revised Code, the amount of tax as 1098
determined under division (A) of this section shall be reduced by 1099
the percentage prescribed in that certification for taxable years 1100
beginning in the calendar year in which that certification is 1101
made. 1102

       (C) The levy of this tax on income does not prevent a 1103
municipal corporation, a joint economic development zone created 1104
under section 715.691, or a joint economic development district 1105
created under section 715.70 or 715.71 or sections 715.72 to 1106
715.81 of the Revised Code from levying a tax on income. 1107

       (D) This division applies only to taxable years of a trust 1108
beginning in 2002 or thereafter. 1109

       (1) The tax imposed by this section on a trust shall be 1110
computed by multiplying the Ohio modified taxable income of the 1111
trust by the rates prescribed by division (A) of this section. 1112

       (2) A nonresident trust may claim a credit against the tax 1113
computed under division (D) of this section equal to the lesser of 1114
(1) the tax paid to another state or the District of Columbia on 1115
the nonresident trust's modified nonbusiness income, other than 1116
the portion of the nonresident trust's nonbusiness income that is 1117
qualifying investment income as defined in section 5747.012 of the 1118
Revised Code, or (2) the effective tax rate, based on modified 1119
Ohio taxable income, multiplied by the nonresident trust's 1120
modified nonbusiness income other than the portion of the 1121
nonresident trust's nonbusiness income that is qualifying 1122
investment income. The credit applies before any other applicable 1123
credits. 1124

       (3) The credits enumerated in divisions (A)(1) to (13) of 1125
section 5747.98 of the Revised Code do not apply to a trust 1126
subject to division (D) of this section. Any credits enumerated in 1127
other divisions of section 5747.98 of the Revised Code apply to a 1128
trust subject to division (D) of this section. To the extent that 1129
the trust distributes income for the taxable year for which a 1130
credit is available to the trust, the credit shall be shared by 1131
the trust and its beneficiaries. The tax commissioner and the 1132
trust shall be guided by applicable regulations of the United 1133
States treasury regarding the sharing of credits. 1134

       (E) For the purposes of this section, "trust" means any trust 1135
described in Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue 1136
Code, excluding trusts that are not irrevocable as defined in 1137

section 5747.02 of the Revised Code for taxpayers who received 1162
retirement income during the taxable year. Only one such credit 1163
shall be allowed for each return, and the amount of the credit 1164

that year shall be computed as follows:1179

       (1) Divide the amount of retirement income received during 1180
the taxable year by the taxpayer's expected remaining life on the 1181
last day of the taxable year, as shown by annuity tables issued 1182
under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and in effect 1183
for the calendar year that includes the last day of the taxable 1184
year;1185

       (2) Using the quotient thus obtained as the amount of 1186
retirement income received during the taxable year, compute the 1187
credit for the taxable year in accordance with division (B) of 1188
this section;1189

       (3) Multiply the credit thus obtained by the taxpayer's 1190
expected remaining life. The product thus obtained shall be the 1191
credit under this division for the taxable year. A taxpayer who 1192
elects to receive a credit under this division is not entitled to 1193
receive a credit under this section for any subsequent year except 1194
as provided in divisions (D) and (E) of this section.1195

       (D) If the credit under division (C) or (E) of this section 1196
exceeds the tax due for the taxable year after allowing for any 1197
other credit that precedes that credit in the order required under 1198
section 5747.98 of the Revised Code, the taxpayer may elect to 1199
receive a credit for each subsequent taxable year. The amount of 1200
the credit for each such year shall be computed as follows:1201

       (1) Determine the amount by which the unused credit elected 1202
under division (C) or (E) of this section exceeded the tax due for 1203
the taxable year after allowing for any preceding credit in the 1204
required order;1205

       (2) Divide the amount of such excess by one year less than 1206
the taxpayer's expected remaining life on the last day of the 1207
taxable year of the distribution for which the credit was allowed 1208
under division (C) or (E) of this section. The quotient thus 1209
obtained shall be the credit for each subsequent year.1210

       (E) If subsequent to the receipt of a lump-sum distribution 1211
and an election under division (C) of this section an individual 1212
receives another lump-sum distribution within one taxable year, 1213
the taxpayer may elect to receive a credit for that taxable year. 1214
The credit shall equal the lesser of:1215

       (1) A credit computed in the manner prescribed in division 1216
(C) of this section;1217

       (2) The amount of credit, if any, to which the taxpayer would 1218
otherwise be entitled for the taxable year under division (D) of 1219
this section times the taxpayer's expected remaining life on the 1220
last day of the taxable year. A taxpayer who elects to receive a 1221
credit under this division is not entitled to a credit under this 1222
section for any subsequent year except as provided in division (D) 1223
of this section.1224

       (F) In the case of a taxpayer who elected to take an 1225
exclusion under division (A)(1) or (3) of former section 5747.01 1226
of the Revised Code based upon the taxpayer's expected remaining 1227
life, and who was entitled immediately preceding the effective 1228
date of this sectionJuly 1, 1983, under division (A)(2) or (3) of 1229
such section to a further exclusion, any credit computed in 1230
accordance with the schedule in division (B) of this section, 1231
including the credit computed under division (C)(2) of this 1232
section, shall not exceed the credit available upon an amount of 1233
retirement income received during the taxable year equal to the 1234
sum of such former exclusion plus four thousand dollars.1235

       (G) The credits allowed by this section shall be claimed in 1236
the order required under section 5747.98 of the Revised Code. The 1237
tax commissioner may require a taxpayer to furnish any information 1238
necessary to support a claim for credit under this section, and no 1239
credit shall be allowed unless such information is provided.1240

       Section 2. That existing sections 5747.01, 5747.02, and 1241
5747.055 of the Revised Code are hereby repealed.1242
