16             Sec.  2. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 79-32,117 is hereby amended to read as
17       follows: 79-32,117. (a) The Kansas adjusted gross income of an individual
18       means such individual's federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year,
19       with the modifications specified in this section.
20             (b) There shall be added to federal adjusted gross income:
21             (i) Interest income less any related expenses directly incurred in the
22       purchase of state or political subdivision obligations, to the extent that
23       the same is not included in federal adjusted gross income, on obligations
24       of any state or political subdivision thereof, but to the extent that interest
25       income on obligations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued
26       prior to January 1, 1988, is specifically exempt from income tax under the
27       laws of this state authorizing the issuance of such obligations, it shall be
28       excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted gross income whether or
29       not included in federal adjusted gross income. Interest income on obli-
30       gations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued after Decem-
31       ber 31, 1987, shall be excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted
32       gross income whether or not included in federal adjusted gross income.
33             (ii) Taxes on or measured by income or fees or payments in lieu of
34       income taxes imposed by this state or any other taxing jurisdiction to the
35       extent deductible in determining federal adjusted gross income and not
36       credited against federal income tax. This paragraph shall not apply to taxes
37       imposed under the provisions of K.S.A. 79-1107 or 79-1108, and amend-
38       ments thereto, for privilege tax year 1995, and all such years thereafter.
39             (iii) The federal net operating loss deduction.
40             (iv) Federal income tax refunds received by the taxpayer if the de-
41       duction of the taxes being refunded resulted in a tax benefit for Kansas
42       income tax purposes during a prior taxable year. Such refunds shall be
43       included in income in the year actually received regardless of the method

HB 2127

3

  1       of accounting used by the taxpayer. For purposes hereof, a tax benefit
  2       shall be deemed to have resulted if the amount of the tax had been de-
  3       ducted in determining income subject to a Kansas income tax for a prior
  4       year regardless of the rate of taxation applied in such prior year to the
  5       Kansas taxable income, but only that portion of the refund shall be in-
  6       cluded as bears the same proportion to the total refund received as the
  7       federal taxes deducted in the year to which such refund is attributable
  8       bears to the total federal income taxes paid for such year. For purposes
  9       of the foregoing sentence, federal taxes shall be considered to have been
10       deducted only to the extent such deduction does not reduce Kansas tax-
11       able income below zero.
12             (v) The amount of any depreciation deduction or business expense
13       deduction claimed on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for any
14       capital expenditure in making any building or facility accessible to the
15       handicapped, for which expenditure the taxpayer claimed the credit al-
16       lowed by K.S.A. 79-32,177, and amendments thereto.
17             (vi) Any amount of designated employee contributions picked up by
18       an employer pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5005, 20-2603, 74-4919 and 74-4965,
19       and amendments to such sections.
20             (vii) The amount of any charitable contribution made to the extent
21       the same is claimed as the basis for the credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A.
22       79-32,196, and amendments thereto or section 1.
23             (viii) The amount of any costs incurred for improvements to a swine
24       facility, claimed for deduction in determining federal adjusted gross in-
25       come, to the extent the same is claimed as the basis for any credit allowed
26       pursuant to K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 79-32,204 and amendments thereto.
27             (ix) The amount of any ad valorem taxes and assessments paid and
28       the amount of any costs incurred for habitat management or construction
29       and maintenance of improvements on real property, claimed for deduc-
30       tion in determining federal adjusted gross income, to the extent the same
31       is claimed as the basis for any credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A. 79-32,203
32       and amendments thereto.
33             (c) There shall be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income:
34             (i) Interest or dividend income on obligations or securities of any
35       authority, commission or instrumentality of the United States and its pos-
36       sessions less any related expenses directly incurred in the purchase of
37       such obligations or securities, to the extent included in federal adjusted
38       gross income but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of the
39       United States.
40             (ii) Any amounts received which are included in federal adjusted
41       gross income but which are specifically exempt from Kansas income tax-
42       ation under the laws of the state of Kansas.

  4       purposes of federal income tax that does not exceed such difference in
  5       basis, but if a gain is considered a long-term capital gain for federal in-
