10    public employees of another state or its political subdivisions; amend-
11    ing K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 79-32,117 and repealing the existing section.
12
13  Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
14    Section 1.  K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 79-32,117 is hereby amended to read
15  as follows: 79-32,117. (a) The Kansas adjusted gross income of an indi-
16  vidual means such individual's federal adjusted gross income for the tax-
17  able year, with the modifications specified in this section.
18    (b)  There shall be added to federal adjusted gross income:
19    (i)  Interest income less any related expenses directly incurred in the
20  purchase of state or political subdivision obligations, to the extent that
21  the same is not included in federal adjusted gross income, on obligations
22  of any state or political subdivision thereof, but to the extent that interest
23  income on obligations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued
24  prior to January 1, 1988, is specifically exempt from income tax under the
25  laws of this state authorizing the issuance of such obligations, it shall be
26  excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted gross income whether or
27  not included in federal adjusted gross income. Interest income on obli-
28  gations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued after Decem-
29  ber 31, 1987, shall be excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted
30  gross income whether or not included in federal adjusted gross income.
31    (ii)  Taxes on or measured by income or fees or payments in lieu of
32  income taxes imposed by this state or any other taxing jurisdiction to the
33  extent deductible in determining federal adjusted gross income and not
34  credited against federal income tax. This paragraph shall not apply to taxes
35  imposed under the provisions of K.S.A. 79-1107 or 79-1108, and amend-
36  ments thereto, for privilege tax year 1995, and all such years thereafter.
37    (iii)  The federal net operating loss deduction.
38    (iv)  Federal income tax refunds received by the taxpayer if the de-
39  duction of the taxes being refunded resulted in a tax benefit for Kansas
40  income tax purposes during a prior taxable year. Such refunds shall be
41  included in income in the year actually received regardless of the method
42  of accounting used by the taxpayer. For purposes hereof, a tax benefit
43  shall be deemed to have resulted if the amount of the tax had been de-
HB 2357
                                     

 1  ducted in determining income subject to a Kansas income tax for a prior
 2  year regardless of the rate of taxation applied in such prior year to the
 3  Kansas taxable income, but only that portion of the refund shall be in-
 4  cluded as bears the same proportion to the total refund received as the
 5  federal taxes deducted in the year to which such refund is attributable
 6  bears to the total federal income taxes paid for such year. For purposes
 7  of the foregoing sentence, federal taxes shall be considered to have been
 8  deducted only to the extent such deduction does not reduce Kansas tax-
 9  able income below zero.
10    (v)  The amount of any depreciation deduction or business expense
11  deduction claimed on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for any
12  capital expenditure in making any building or facility accessible to the
13  handicapped, for which expenditure the taxpayer claimed the credit al-
14  lowed by K.S.A. 79-32,177, and amendments thereto.
15    (vi)  Any amount of designated employee contributions picked up by
16  an employer pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5005, 20-2603, 74-4919 and 74-4965,
17  and amendments to such sections.
18    (vii)  The amount of any charitable contribution made to the extent
19  the same is claimed as the basis for the credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A.
20  1996 Supp. 79-32,196, and amendments thereto.
21    (c)  There shall be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income:
22    (i)  Interest or dividend income on obligations or securities of any
23  authority, commission or instrumentality of the United States and its pos-
24  sessions less any related expenses directly incurred in the purchase of
25  such obligations or securities, to the extent included in federal adjusted
26  gross income but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of the
27  United States.
28    (ii)  Any amounts received which are included in federal adjusted
29  gross income but which are specifically exempt from Kansas income tax-
30  ation under the laws of the state of Kansas.
31    (iii)  The portion of any gain or loss from the sale or other disposition
32  of property having a higher adjusted basis for Kansas income tax purposes
33  than for federal income tax purposes on the date such property was sold
34  or disposed of in a transaction in which gain or loss was recognized for
35  purposes of federal income tax that does not exceed such difference in
36  basis, but if a gain is considered a long-term capital gain for federal in-
37  come tax purposes, the modification shall be limited to that portion of
38  such gain which is included in federal adjusted gross income.
39    (iv)  The amount necessary to prevent the taxation under this act of
40  any annuity or other amount of income or gain which was properly in-
41  cluded in income or gain and was taxed under the laws of this state for a
42  taxable year prior to the effective date of this act, as amended, to the
