enforcement officials for items used in | 3 |

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 5747.01 of the Revised Code be | 6 |
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 taxable year for active duty service in the United States | 280 |

incurred by the taxpayer during the taxable year, not to exceed | 289 |

service retirement system or federal employees retirement system, | 311 |
or under any successor retirement program enacted by the congress | 312 |

For the purposes of division (I)(3) of this section: | 399 |
(a) A trust resides in this state for the trust's current | 400 |
taxable year to the extent, as described in division (I)(3)(d) of | 401 |
this section, that the trust consists directly or indirectly, in | 402 |
whole or in part, of assets, net of any related liabilities, that | 403 |
were transferred, or caused to be transferred, directly or | 404 |
indirectly, to the trust by any of the following: | 405 |
(i) A person, a court, or a governmental entity or | 406 |

section; | 409 |
(ii) A person who was domiciled in this state for the | 410 |
purposes of this chapter when the person directly or indirectly | 411 |
transferred assets to an irrevocable trust, but only if at least | 412 |
one of the trust's qualifying beneficiaries is domiciled in this | 413 |
state for the purposes of this chapter during all or some portion | 414 |
of the trust's current taxable year; | 415 |
(iii) A person who was domiciled in this state for the | 416 |
purposes of this chapter when the trust document or instrument or | 417 |
part of the trust document or instrument became irrevocable, but | 418 |
only if at least one of the trust's qualifying beneficiaries is a | 419 |
resident domiciled in this state for the purposes of this chapter | 420 |
during all or some portion of the trust's current taxable year. If | 421 |
a trust document or instrument became irrevocable upon the death | 422 |
of a person who at the time of death was domiciled in this state | 423 |
for purposes of this chapter, that person is a person described in | 424 |
division (I)(3)(a)(iii) of this section. | 425 |
(b) A trust is irrevocable to the extent that the transferor | 426 |

under sections 671 to 678 of the Internal Revenue Code. | 428 |
(c) With respect to a trust other than a charitable lead | 429 |
trust, "qualifying beneficiary" has the same meaning as "potential | 430 |
current beneficiary" as defined in section 1361(e)(2) of the | 431 |
Internal Revenue Code, and with respect to a charitable lead trust | 432 |
"qualifying beneficiary" is any current, future, or contingent | 433 |
beneficiary, but with respect to any trust "qualifying | 434 |
beneficiary" excludes a person or a governmental entity or | 435 |

the charitable deduction under section 170 of the Internal Revenue | 437 |
Code. | 438 |
(d) For the purposes of division (I)(3)(a) of this section, | 439 |
the extent to which a trust consists directly or indirectly, in | 440 |
whole or in part, of assets, net of any related liabilities, that | 441 |
were transferred directly or indirectly, in whole or part, to the | 442 |
trust by any of the sources enumerated in that division shall be | 443 |
ascertained by multiplying the fair market value of the trust's | 444 |
assets, net of related liabilities, by the qualifying ratio, which | 445 |
shall be computed as follows: | 446 |
(i) The first time the trust receives assets, the numerator | 447 |
of the qualifying ratio is the fair market value of those assets | 448 |
at that time, net of any related liabilities, from sources | 449 |
enumerated in division (I)(3)(a) of this section. The denominator | 450 |
of the qualifying ratio is the fair market value of all the | 451 |
trust's assets at that time, net of any related liabilities. | 452 |
(ii) Each subsequent time the trust receives assets, a | 453 |
revised qualifying ratio shall be computed. The numerator of the | 454 |
revised qualifying ratio is the sum of (1) the fair market value | 455 |
of the trust's assets immediately prior to the subsequent | 456 |
transfer, net of any related liabilities, multiplied by the | 457 |
qualifying ratio last computed without regard to the subsequent | 458 |
transfer, and (2) the fair market value of the subsequently | 459 |
transferred assets at the time transferred, net of any related | 460 |
liabilities, from sources enumerated in division (I)(3)(a) of this | 461 |
section. The denominator of the revised qualifying ratio is the | 462 |
fair market value of all the trust's assets immediately after the | 463 |
subsequent transfer, net of any related liabilities. | 464 |
(iii) Whether a transfer to the trust is by or from any of | 465 |
the sources enumerated in division (I)(3)(a) of this section shall | 466 |
be ascertained without regard to the domicile of the trust's | 467 |
beneficiaries. | 468 |

irrevocable while the decedent was domiciled in this state for the | 498 |
purposes of this chapter. | 499 |

5747.212 of the Revised Code, without regard to division (A) of | 798 |
that section, shall not be allocated to this state in accordance | 799 |
with section 5747.20 of the Revised Code but shall be apportioned | 800 |
to this state in accordance with division (B) of section 5747.212 | 801 |
of the Revised Code without regard to division (A) of that | 802 |
section. | 803 |
If the allocation and apportionment of a trust's income under | 804 |
divisions (BB)(4)(a) and (c) of this section do not fairly | 805 |
represent the modified Ohio taxable income of the trust in this | 806 |
state, the alternative methods described in division (C) of | 807 |
section 5747.21 of the Revised Code may be applied in the manner | 808 |
and to the same extent provided in that section. | 809 |
(5)(a) Except as set forth in division (BB)(5)(b) of this | 810 |
section, "qualifying investee" means a person in which a trust has | 811 |
an equity or ownership interest, or a person or unit of government | 812 |
the debt obligations of either of which are owned by a trust. For | 813 |
the purposes of division (BB)(2)(a) of this section and for the | 814 |
purpose of computing the fraction described in division (BB)(4)(b) | 815 |
of this section, all of the following apply: | 816 |
(i) If the qualifying investee is a member of a qualifying | 817 |
controlled group on the last day of the qualifying investee's | 818 |
fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the date on | 819 |
which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, then "qualifying | 820 |
investee" includes all persons in the qualifying controlled group | 821 |
on such last day. | 822 |
(ii) If the qualifying investee, or if the qualifying | 823 |
investee and any members of the qualifying controlled group of | 824 |
which the qualifying investee is a member on the last day of the | 825 |
qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately | 826 |
prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, | 827 |
separately or cumulatively own, directly or indirectly, on the | 828 |
last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year | 829 |
ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust recognizes | 830 |
the qualifying trust amount, more than fifty per cent of the | 831 |
equity of a pass-through entity, then the qualifying investee and | 832 |
the other members are deemed to own the proportionate share of the | 833 |
pass-through entity's physical assets which the pass-through | 834 |
entity directly or indirectly owns on the last day of the | 835 |
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or | 836 |
with the last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar | 837 |
year ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust | 838 |
recognizes the qualifying trust amount. | 839 |
(iii) For the purposes of division (BB)(5)(a)(iii) of this | 840 |
section, "upper level pass-through entity" means a pass-through | 841 |
entity directly or indirectly owning any equity of another | 842 |
pass-through entity, and "lower level pass-through entity" means | 843 |
that other pass-through entity. | 844 |
An upper level pass-through entity, whether or not it is also | 845 |
a qualifying investee, is deemed to own, on the last day of the | 846 |
upper level pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year, the | 847 |
proportionate share of the lower level pass-through entity's | 848 |
physical assets that the lower level pass-through entity directly | 849 |
or indirectly owns on the last day of the lower level pass-through | 850 |
entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or with the last | 851 |
day of the upper level pass-through entity's fiscal or calendar | 852 |
year. If the upper level pass-through entity directly and | 853 |
indirectly owns less than fifty per cent of the equity of the | 854 |
lower level pass-through entity on each day of the upper level | 855 |
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year in which or with | 856 |
which ends the calendar or fiscal year of the lower level | 857 |
pass-through entity and if, based upon clear and convincing | 858 |
evidence, complete information about the location and cost of the | 859 |
physical assets of the lower pass-through entity is not available | 860 |
to the upper level pass-through entity, then solely for purposes | 861 |
of ascertaining if a gain or loss constitutes a qualifying trust | 862 |
amount, the upper level pass-through entity shall be deemed as | 863 |
owning no equity of the lower level pass-through entity for each | 864 |
day during the upper level pass-through entity's calendar or | 865 |
fiscal year in which or with which ends the lower level | 866 |
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year. Nothing in division | 867 |
(BB)(5)(a)(iii) of this section shall be construed to provide for | 868 |
any deduction or exclusion in computing any trust's Ohio taxable | 869 |
income. | 870 |
(b) With respect to a trust that is not a resident for the | 871 |
taxable year and with respect to a part of a trust that is not a | 872 |
resident for the taxable year, "qualifying investee" for that | 873 |
taxable year does not include a C corporation if both of the | 874 |
following apply: | 875 |
(i) During the taxable year the trust or part of the trust | 876 |
recognizes a gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or other | 877 |
disposition of equity or ownership interests in, or debt | 878 |
obligations of, the C corporation. | 879 |
(ii) Such gain or loss constitutes nonbusiness income. | 880 |
(6) "Available" means information is such that a person is | 881 |
able to learn of the information by the due date plus extensions, | 882 |
if any, for filing the return for the taxable year in which the | 883 |
trust recognizes the gain or loss. | 884 |
(CC) "Qualifying controlled group" has the same meaning as in | 885 |
section 5733.04 of the Revised Code. | 886 |
(DD) "Related member" has the same meaning as in section | 887 |
5733.042 of the Revised Code. | 888 |
(EE)(1) For the purposes of division (EE) of this section: | 889 |
(a) "Qualifying person" means any person other than a | 890 |
qualifying corporation. | 891 |

otherwise, no qualifying person indirectly owns any asset directly | 904 |
or indirectly owned by any qualifying corporation. | 905 |
