14 AN ACT relating to income taxation; providing for long-term health care
15 health insurance premium deductions; amending K.S.A. 1999 Supp.
16 79-32,117 and repealing the existing section.
17
18 Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
19 Section 1. K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 79-32,117 is hereby amended to read
20 as follows: 79-32,117. (a) The Kansas adjusted gross income of an indi-
21 vidual means such individual's federal adjusted gross income for the tax-
22 able year, with the modifications specified in this section.
23 (b) There shall be added to federal adjusted gross income:
24 (i) Interest income less any related expenses directly incurred in the
25 purchase of state or political subdivision obligations, to the extent that
26 the same is not included in federal adjusted gross income, on obligations
27 of any state or political subdivision thereof, but to the extent that interest
28 income on obligations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued
29 prior to January 1, 1988, is specifically exempt from income tax under the
30 laws of this state authorizing the issuance of such obligations, it shall be
31 excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted gross income whether or
32 not included in federal adjusted gross income. Interest income on obli-
33 gations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued after Decem-
34 ber 31, 1987, shall be excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted
35 gross income whether or not included in federal adjusted gross income.
36 (ii) Taxes on or measured by income or fees or payments in lieu of
37 income taxes imposed by this state or any other taxing jurisdiction to the
38 extent deductible in determining federal adjusted gross income and not
39 credited against federal income tax. This paragraph shall not apply to taxes
40 imposed under the provisions of K.S.A. 79-1107 or 79-1108, and amend-
41 ments thereto, for privilege tax year 1995, and all such years thereafter.
42 (iii) The federal net operating loss deduction.
43 (iv) Federal income tax refunds received by the taxpayer if the de-
44 duction of the taxes being refunded resulted in a tax benefit for Kansas

2
1 income tax purposes during a prior taxable year. Such refunds shall be
2 included in income in the year actually received regardless of the method
3 of accounting used by the taxpayer. For purposes hereof, a tax benefit
4 shall be deemed to have resulted if the amount of the tax had been de-
5 ducted in determining income subject to a Kansas income tax for a prior
6 year regardless of the rate of taxation applied in such prior year to the
7 Kansas taxable income, but only that portion of the refund shall be in-
8 cluded as bears the same proportion to the total refund received as the
9 federal taxes deducted in the year to which such refund is attributable
10 bears to the total federal income taxes paid for such year. For purposes
11 of the foregoing sentence, federal taxes shall be considered to have been
12 deducted only to the extent such deduction does not reduce Kansas tax-
13 able income below zero.
14 (v) The amount of any depreciation deduction or business expense
15 deduction claimed on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for any
16 capital expenditure in making any building or facility accessible to the
17 handicapped, for which expenditure the taxpayer claimed the credit al-
18 lowed by K.S.A. 79-32,177, and amendments thereto.
19 (vi) Any amount of designated employee contributions picked up by
20 an employer pursuant to K.S.A. 12-5005, 20-2603, 74-4919 and 74-4965,
21 and amendments to such sections.
22 (vii) The amount of any charitable contribution made to the extent
23 the same is claimed as the basis for the credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A.
24 79-32,196, and amendments thereto.
25 (viii) The amount of any costs incurred for improvements to a swine
26 facility, claimed for deduction in determining federal adjusted gross in-
27 come, to the extent the same is claimed as the basis for any credit allowed
28 pursuant to K.S.A. 1999 Supp. 79-32,204 and amendments thereto.
29 (ix) The amount of any ad valorem taxes and assessments paid and
30 the amount of any costs incurred for habitat management or construction
31 and maintenance of improvements on real property, claimed for deduc-
32 tion in determining federal adjusted gross income, to the extent the same
33 is claimed as the basis for any credit allowed pursuant to K.S.A. 79-32,203
34 and amendments thereto.
35 (c) There shall be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income:
36 (i) Interest or dividend income on obligations or securities of any
37 authority, commission or instrumentality of the United States and its pos-
38 sessions less any related expenses directly incurred in the purchase of
39 such obligations or securities, to the extent included in federal adjusted
40 gross income but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of the
41 United States.

3 of property having a higher adjusted basis for Kansas income tax purposes
4 than for federal income tax purposes on the date such property was sold
5 or disposed of in a transaction in which gain or loss was recognized for
6 purposes of federal income tax that does not exceed such difference in
7 basis, but if a gain is considered a long-term capital gain for federal in-
8 come tax purposes, the modification shall be limited to that portion of
9 such gain which is included in federal adjusted gross income.
10 (iv) The amount necessary to prevent the taxation under this act of
11 any annuity or other amount of income or gain which was properly in-

14 taxpayer, or to a decedent by reason of whose death the taxpayer acquired
15 the right to receive the income or gain, or to a trust or estate from which
