subject to the commercial activities tax. | 8 |
Section 1. That section 5747.01 be amended and sections | 9 |
5747.82 and 5751.031 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as | 10 |
follows: | 11 |
Sec. 5747.01. Except as otherwise expressly provided or | 12 |
clearly appearing from the context, any term used in this chapter | 13 |
that is not otherwise defined in this section has the same meaning | 14 |
as when used in a comparable context in the laws of the United | 15 |
States relating to federal income taxes or if not used in a | 16 |
comparable context in those laws, has the same meaning as in | 17 |
section 5733.40 of the Revised Code. Any reference in this chapter | 18 |
to the Internal Revenue Code includes other laws of the United | 19 |
States relating to federal income taxes. | 20 |
As used in this chapter: | 21 |
(A) "Adjusted gross income" or "Ohio adjusted gross income" | 22 |
means federal adjusted gross income, as defined and used in the | 23 |
Internal Revenue Code, adjusted as provided in this section: | 24 |
(1) Add interest or dividends on obligations or securities of | 25 |
any state or of any political subdivision or authority of any | 26 |
state, other than this state and its subdivisions and authorities. | 27 |
(2) Add interest or dividends on obligations of any | 28 |
authority, commission, instrumentality, territory, or possession | 29 |
of the United States to the extent that the interest or dividends | 30 |
are exempt from federal income taxes but not from state income | 31 |
taxes. | 32 |
(3) Deduct interest or dividends on obligations of the United | 33 |
States and its territories and possessions or of any authority, | 34 |
commission, or instrumentality of the United States to the extent | 35 |
that the interest or dividends are included in federal adjusted | 36 |
gross income but exempt from state income taxes under the laws of | 37 |
the United States. | 38 |
(4) Deduct disability and survivor's benefits to the extent | 39 |
included in federal adjusted gross income. | 40 |
(5) Deduct benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act | 41 |
and tier 1 railroad retirement benefits to the extent included in | 42 |
federal adjusted gross income under section 86 of the Internal | 43 |
Revenue Code. | 44 |
(6) In the case of a taxpayer who is a beneficiary of a trust | 45 |
that makes an accumulation distribution as defined in section 665 | 46 |
of the Internal Revenue Code, add, for the beneficiary's taxable | 47 |
years beginning before 2002, the portion, if any, of such | 48 |
distribution that does not exceed the undistributed net income of | 49 |
the trust for the three taxable years preceding the taxable year | 50 |
in which the distribution is made to the extent that the portion | 51 |
was not included in the trust's taxable income for any of the | 52 |
trust's taxable years beginning in 2002 or thereafter. | 53 |
"Undistributed net income of a trust" means the taxable income of | 54 |
the trust increased by (a)(i) the additions to adjusted gross | 55 |
income required under division (A) of this section and (ii) the | 56 |
personal exemptions allowed to the trust pursuant to section | 57 |
642(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and decreased by (b)(i) the | 58 |
deductions to adjusted gross income required under division (A) of | 59 |
this section, (ii) the amount of federal income taxes attributable | 60 |
to such income, and (iii) the amount of taxable income that has | 61 |
been included in the adjusted gross income of a beneficiary by | 62 |
reason of a prior accumulation distribution. Any undistributed net | 63 |
income included in the adjusted gross income of a beneficiary | 64 |
shall reduce the undistributed net income of the trust commencing | 65 |
with the earliest years of the accumulation period. | 66 |
(7) Deduct the amount of wages and salaries, if any, not | 67 |
otherwise allowable as a deduction but that would have been | 68 |
allowable as a deduction in computing federal adjusted gross | 69 |
income for the taxable year, had the targeted jobs credit allowed | 70 |
and determined under sections 38, 51, and 52 of the Internal | 71 |
Revenue Code not been in effect. | 72 |
(8) Deduct any interest or interest equivalent on public | 73 |
obligations and purchase obligations to the extent that the | 74 |
interest or interest equivalent is included in federal adjusted | 75 |
gross income. | 76 |
(9) Add any loss or deduct any gain resulting from the sale, | 77 |
exchange, or other disposition of public obligations to the extent | 78 |
that the loss has been deducted or the gain has been included in | 79 |
computing federal adjusted gross income. | 80 |
(10) Deduct or add amounts, as provided under section 5747.70 | 81 |
of the Revised Code, related to contributions to variable college | 82 |
savings program accounts made or tuition units purchased pursuant | 83 |
to Chapter 3334. of the Revised Code. | 84 |
(11)(a) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise allowable as a | 85 |
deduction or exclusion in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross | 86 |
income for the taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during | 87 |
the taxable year for medical care insurance and qualified | 88 |
long-term care insurance for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, | 89 |
and dependents. No deduction for medical care insurance under | 90 |
division (A)(11) of this section shall be allowed either to any | 91 |
taxpayer who is eligible to participate in any subsidized health | 92 |
plan maintained by any employer of the taxpayer or of the | 93 |
taxpayer's spouse, or to any taxpayer who is entitled to, or on | 94 |
application would be entitled to, benefits under part A of Title | 95 |
XVIII of the "Social Security Act," 49 Stat. 620 (1935), 42 U.S.C. | 96 |
301, as amended. For the purposes of division (A)(11)(a) of this | 97 |
section, "subsidized health plan" means a health plan for which | 98 |
the employer pays any portion of the plan's cost. The deduction | 99 |
allowed under division (A)(11)(a) of this section shall be the net | 100 |
of any related premium refunds, related premium reimbursements, or | 101 |
related insurance premium dividends received during the taxable | 102 |
year. | 103 |
(b) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded | 104 |
in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income during the | 105 |
taxable year, the amount the taxpayer paid during the taxable | 106 |
year, not compensated for by any insurance or otherwise, for | 107 |
medical care of the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, and | 108 |
dependents, to the extent the expenses exceed seven and one-half | 109 |
per cent of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income. | 110 |
(c) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded | 111 |
in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income, any amount | 112 |
included in federal adjusted gross income under section 105 or not | 113 |
excluded under section 106 of the Internal Revenue Code solely | 114 |
because it relates to an accident and health plan for a person who | 115 |
otherwise would be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" | 116 |
under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact | 117 |
that the person fails to meet the income and support limitations | 118 |
under section 152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code. | 119 |
(d) For purposes of division (A)(11) of this section, | 120 |
"medical care" has the meaning given in section 213 of the | 121 |
Internal Revenue Code, subject to the special rules, limitations, | 122 |
and exclusions set forth therein, and "qualified long-term care" | 123 |
has the same meaning given in section 7702B(c) of the Internal | 124 |
Revenue Code. Solely for purposes of divisions (A)(11)(a) and (c) | 125 |
of this section, "dependent" includes a person who otherwise would | 126 |
be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" under section | 127 |
152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact that the person | 128 |
fails to meet the income and support limitations under section | 129 |
152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code. | 130 |
(12)(a) Deduct any amount included in federal adjusted gross | 131 |
income solely because the amount represents a reimbursement or | 132 |
refund of expenses that in any year the taxpayer had deducted as | 133 |
an itemized deduction pursuant to section 63 of the Internal | 134 |
Revenue Code and applicable United States department of the | 135 |
treasury regulations. The deduction otherwise allowed under | 136 |
division (A)(12)(a) of this section shall be reduced to the extent | 137 |
the reimbursement is attributable to an amount the taxpayer | 138 |
deducted under this section in any taxable year. | 139 |
(b) Add any amount not otherwise included in Ohio adjusted | 140 |
gross income for any taxable year to the extent that the amount is | 141 |
attributable to the recovery during the taxable year of any amount | 142 |
deducted or excluded in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross | 143 |
income in any taxable year. | 144 |
(13) Deduct any portion of the deduction described in section | 145 |
1341(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, for repaying previously | 146 |
reported income received under a claim of right, that meets both | 147 |
of the following requirements: | 148 |
(a) It is allowable for repayment of an item that was | 149 |
included in the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for a prior | 150 |
taxable year and did not qualify for a credit under division (A) | 151 |
or (B) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for that year; | 152 |
(b) It does not otherwise reduce the taxpayer's adjusted | 153 |
gross income for the current or any other taxable year. | 154 |
(14) Deduct an amount equal to the deposits made to, and net | 155 |
investment earnings of, a medical savings account during the | 156 |
taxable year, in accordance with section 3924.66 of the Revised | 157 |
Code. The deduction allowed by division (A)(14) of this section | 158 |
does not apply to medical savings account deposits and earnings | 159 |
otherwise deducted or excluded for the current or any other | 160 |
taxable year from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income. | 161 |
(15)(a) Add an amount equal to the funds withdrawn from a | 162 |
medical savings account during the taxable year, and the net | 163 |
investment earnings on those funds, when the funds withdrawn were | 164 |
used for any purpose other than to reimburse an account holder | 165 |
for, or to pay, eligible medical expenses, in accordance with | 166 |
section 3924.66 of the Revised Code; | 167 |
(b) Add the amounts distributed from a medical savings | 168 |
account under division (A)(2) of section 3924.68 of the Revised | 169 |
Code during the taxable year. | 170 |
(16) Add any amount claimed as a credit under section | 171 |
5747.059 or 5747.65 of the Revised Code to the extent that such | 172 |
amount satisfies either of the following: | 173 |
(a) The amount was deducted or excluded from the computation | 174 |
of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income as required to be | 175 |
reported for the taxpayer's taxable year under the Internal | 176 |
Revenue Code; | 177 |
(b) The amount resulted in a reduction of the taxpayer's | 178 |
federal adjusted gross income as required to be reported for any | 179 |
of the taxpayer's taxable years under the Internal Revenue Code. | 180 |
(17) Deduct the amount contributed by the taxpayer to an | 181 |
individual development account program established by a county | 182 |
department of job and family services pursuant to sections 329.11 | 183 |
to 329.14 of the Revised Code for the purpose of matching funds | 184 |
deposited by program participants. On request of the tax | 185 |
commissioner, the taxpayer shall provide any information that, in | 186 |
the tax commissioner's opinion, is necessary to establish the | 187 |
amount deducted under division (A)(17) of this section. | 188 |
(18) Beginning in taxable year 2001 but not for any taxable | 189 |
year beginning after December 31, 2005, if the taxpayer is married | 190 |
and files a joint return and the combined federal adjusted gross | 191 |
income of the taxpayer and the taxpayer's spouse for the taxable | 192 |
year does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars, or if the | 193 |
taxpayer is single and has a federal adjusted gross income for the | 194 |
taxable year not exceeding fifty thousand dollars, deduct amounts | 195 |
paid during the taxable year for qualified tuition and fees paid | 196 |
to an eligible institution for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's | 197 |
spouse, or any dependent of the taxpayer, who is a resident of | 198 |
this state and is enrolled in or attending a program that | 199 |
culminates in a degree or diploma at an eligible institution. The | 200 |
deduction may be claimed only to the extent that qualified tuition | 201 |
and fees are not otherwise deducted or excluded for any taxable | 202 |
year from federal or Ohio adjusted gross income. The deduction may | 203 |
not be claimed for educational expenses for which the taxpayer | 204 |
claims a credit under section 5747.27 of the Revised Code. | 205 |
(19) Add any reimbursement received during the taxable year | 206 |
of any amount the taxpayer deducted under division (A)(18) of this | 207 |
section in any previous taxable year to the extent the amount is | 208 |
not otherwise included in Ohio adjusted gross income. | 209 |
(20)(a)(i) Subject to divisions (A)(20)(a)(iii), (iv), and | 210 |
(v) of this section, add five-sixths of the amount of depreciation | 211 |
expense allowed by subsection (k) of section 168 of the Internal | 212 |
Revenue Code, including the taxpayer's proportionate or | 213 |
distributive share of the amount of depreciation expense allowed | 214 |
by that subsection to a pass-through entity in which the taxpayer | 215 |
has a direct or indirect ownership interest. | 216 |
(ii) Subject to divisions (A)(20)(a)(iii), (iv), and (v) of | 217 |
this section, add five-sixths of the amount of qualifying section | 218 |
179 depreciation expense, including the taxpayer's proportionate | 219 |
or distributive share of the amount of qualifying section 179 | 220 |
depreciation expense allowed to any pass-through entity in which | 221 |
the taxpayer has a direct or indirect ownership interest. | 222 |
(iii) Subject to division (A)(20)(a)(v) of this section, for | 223 |
taxable years beginning in 2012 or thereafter, if the increase in | 224 |
income taxes withheld by the taxpayer is equal to or greater than | 225 |
ten per cent of income taxes withheld by the taxpayer during the | 226 |
taxpayer's immediately preceding taxable year, "two-thirds" shall | 227 |
be substituted for "five-sixths" for the purpose of divisions | 228 |
(A)(20)(a)(i) and (ii) of this section. | 229 |
(iv) Subject to division (A)(20)(a)(v) of this section, for | 230 |
taxable years beginning in 2012 or thereafter, a taxpayer is not | 231 |
required to add an amount under division (A)(20) of this section | 232 |
if the increase in income taxes withheld by the taxpayer and by | 233 |
any pass-through entity in which the taxpayer has a direct or | 234 |
indirect ownership interest is equal to or greater than the sum of | 235 |
(I) the amount of qualifying section 179 depreciation expense and | 236 |
(II) the amount of depreciation expense allowed to the taxpayer by | 237 |
subsection (k) of section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code, and | 238 |
including the taxpayer's proportionate or distributive shares of | 239 |

(v) If a taxpayer directly or indirectly incurs a net | 241 |
operating loss for the taxable year for federal income tax | 242 |
purposes, to the extent such loss resulted from depreciation | 243 |
expense allowed by subsection (k) of section 168 of the Internal | 244 |
Revenue Code and by qualifying section 179 depreciation expense, | 245 |
"the entire" shall be substituted for "five-sixths of the" for the | 246 |
purpose of divisions (A)(20)(a)(i) and (ii) of this section. | 247 |
The tax commissioner, under procedures established by the | 248 |
commissioner, may waive the add-backs related to a pass-through | 249 |
entity if the taxpayer owns, directly or indirectly, less than | 250 |
five per cent of the pass-through entity. | 251 |
(b) Nothing in division (A)(20) of this section shall be | 252 |
construed to adjust or modify the adjusted basis of any asset. | 253 |
(c) To the extent the add-back required under division | 254 |

nonbusiness income or loss allocated under section 5747.20 of the | 256 |
Revised Code, the add-back shall be sitused to the same location | 257 |
as the nonbusiness income or loss generated by the property for | 258 |
the purpose of determining the credit under division (A) of | 259 |
section 5747.05 of the Revised Code. Otherwise, the add-back shall | 260 |
be apportioned, subject to one or more of the four alternative | 261 |
methods of apportionment enumerated in section 5747.21 of the | 262 |

and remitted under sections 5747.06 and 5747.07 of the Revised | 274 |
Code by an employer during the employer's taxable year. | 275 |
(ii) "Increase in income taxes withheld" means the amount by | 276 |
which the amount of income taxes withheld by an employer during | 277 |
the employer's current taxable year exceeds the amount of income | 278 |
taxes withheld by that employer during the employer's immediately | 279 |
preceding taxable year. | 280 |
(iii) "Qualifying section 179 depreciation expense" means the | 281 |

31, 2002. | 287 |
(21)(a) If the taxpayer was required to add an amount under | 288 |

expense allowed by subsection (k) of section 168 of the Internal | 294 |
Revenue Code; | 295 |

(b) If the amount deducted under division (A)(21)(a) of this | 302 |
section is attributable to an add-back allocated under division | 303 |
(A)(20)(c) of this section, the amount deducted shall be sitused | 304 |
to the same location. Otherwise, the add-back shall be apportioned | 305 |
using the apportionment factors for the taxable year in which the | 306 |
deduction is taken, subject to one or more of the four alternative | 307 |
methods of apportionment enumerated in section 5747.21 of the | 308 |
Revised Code. | 309 |

being. | 360 |
(26) Deduct, to the extent not otherwise deducted or excluded | 361 |

thereof, or the national guard, or received by the surviving | 365 |
spouse or former spouse of such a taxpayer under the survivor | 366 |
benefit plan on account of such a taxpayer's death. If the | 367 |
taxpayer receives income on account of retirement paid under the | 368 |
federal civil service retirement system or federal employees | 369 |
retirement system, or under any successor retirement program | 370 |
enacted by the congress of the United States that is established | 371 |
and maintained for retired employees of the United States | 372 |
government, and such retirement income is based, in whole or in | 373 |
part, on credit for the taxpayer's uniformed service, the | 374 |
deduction allowed under this division shall include only that | 375 |

income, but only if the following requirements are satisfied: | 805 |
(a) The book value of the qualifying investee's physical | 806 |
assets in this state and everywhere, as of the last day of the | 807 |
qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately | 808 |
prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, | 809 |
is available to the trust. | 810 |
(b) The requirements of section 5747.011 of the Revised Code | 811 |
are satisfied for the trust's taxable year in which the trust | 812 |
recognizes the gain or loss. | 813 |
Any gain or loss that is not a qualifying trust amount is | 814 |
modified business income, qualifying investment income, or | 815 |
modified nonbusiness income, as the case may be. | 816 |
(3) "Modified nonbusiness income" means a trust's Ohio | 817 |

extent such qualifying investment income is not otherwise part of | 821 |
modified business income. | 822 |
(4) "Modified Ohio taxable income" applies only to trusts, | 823 |
and means the sum of the amounts described in divisions (BB)(4)(a) | 824 |
to (c) of this section: | 825 |
(a) The fraction, calculated under section 5747.013, and | 826 |
applying section 5747.231 of the Revised Code, multiplied by the | 827 |

(i) The trust's modified business income; | 829 |
(ii) The trust's qualifying investment income, as defined in | 830 |
section 5747.012 of the Revised Code, but only to the extent the | 831 |
qualifying investment income does not otherwise constitute | 832 |
modified business income and does not otherwise constitute a | 833 |
qualifying trust amount. | 834 |
(b) The qualifying trust amount multiplied by a fraction, the | 835 |
numerator of which is the sum of the book value of the qualifying | 836 |
investee's physical assets in this state on the last day of the | 837 |
qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately | 838 |
prior to the day on which the trust recognizes the qualifying | 839 |
trust amount, and the denominator of which is the sum of the book | 840 |
value of the qualifying investee's total physical assets | 841 |
everywhere on the last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or | 842 |
calendar year ending immediately prior to the day on which the | 843 |
trust recognizes the qualifying trust amount. If, for a taxable | 844 |
year, the trust recognizes a qualifying trust amount with respect | 845 |
to more than one qualifying investee, the amount described in | 846 |
division (BB)(4)(b) of this section shall equal the sum of the | 847 |
products so computed for each such qualifying investee. | 848 |
(c)(i) With respect to a trust or portion of a trust that is | 849 |
a resident as ascertained in accordance with division (I)(3)(d) of | 850 |
this section, its modified nonbusiness income. | 851 |

income satisfying the descriptions in divisions (B)(2) to (5) of | 855 |
section 5747.20 of the Revised Code, except as otherwise provided | 856 |
in division (BB)(4)(c)(ii) of this section. With respect to a | 857 |
trust or portion of a trust that is not a resident as ascertained | 858 |
in accordance with division (I)(3)(d) of this section, the trust's | 859 |
portion of modified nonbusiness income recognized from the sale, | 860 |
exchange, or other disposition of a debt interest in or equity | 861 |
interest in a section 5747.212 entity, as defined in section | 862 |
5747.212 of the Revised Code, without regard to division (A) of | 863 |
that section, shall not be allocated to this state in accordance | 864 |
with section 5747.20 of the Revised Code but shall be apportioned | 865 |
to this state in accordance with division (B) of section 5747.212 | 866 |
of the Revised Code without regard to division (A) of that | 867 |
section. | 868 |
If the allocation and apportionment of a trust's income under | 869 |
divisions (BB)(4)(a) and (c) of this section do not fairly | 870 |
represent the modified Ohio taxable income of the trust in this | 871 |
state, the alternative methods described in division (C) of | 872 |
section 5747.21 of the Revised Code may be applied in the manner | 873 |
and to the same extent provided in that section. | 874 |
(5)(a) Except as set forth in division (BB)(5)(b) of this | 875 |
section, "qualifying investee" means a person in which a trust has | 876 |
an equity or ownership interest, or a person or unit of government | 877 |
the debt obligations of either of which are owned by a trust. For | 878 |
the purposes of division (BB)(2)(a) of this section and for the | 879 |
purpose of computing the fraction described in division (BB)(4)(b) | 880 |
of this section, all of the following apply: | 881 |
(i) If the qualifying investee is a member of a qualifying | 882 |
controlled group on the last day of the qualifying investee's | 883 |
fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the date on | 884 |
which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, then "qualifying | 885 |
investee" includes all persons in the qualifying controlled group | 886 |
on such last day. | 887 |
(ii) If the qualifying investee, or if the qualifying | 888 |
investee and any members of the qualifying controlled group of | 889 |

qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year ending immediately | 891 |
prior to the date on which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, | 892 |
separately or cumulatively own, directly or indirectly, on the | 893 |
last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar year | 894 |
ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust recognizes | 895 |
the qualifying trust amount, more than fifty per cent of the | 896 |
equity of a pass-through entity, then the qualifying investee and | 897 |
the other members are deemed to own the proportionate share of the | 898 |
pass-through entity's physical assets which the pass-through | 899 |
entity directly or indirectly owns on the last day of the | 900 |
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or | 901 |
with the last day of the qualifying investee's fiscal or calendar | 902 |
year ending immediately prior to the date on which the trust | 903 |
recognizes the qualifying trust amount. | 904 |
(iii) For the purposes of division (BB)(5)(a)(iii) of this | 905 |
section, "upper level pass-through entity" means a pass-through | 906 |
entity directly or indirectly owning any equity of another | 907 |
pass-through entity, and "lower level pass-through entity" means | 908 |
that other pass-through entity. | 909 |
An upper level pass-through entity, whether or not it is also | 910 |
a qualifying investee, is deemed to own, on the last day of the | 911 |
upper level pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year, the | 912 |
proportionate share of the lower level pass-through entity's | 913 |
physical assets that the lower level pass-through entity directly | 914 |
or indirectly owns on the last day of the lower level pass-through | 915 |
entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or with the last | 916 |
day of the upper level pass-through entity's fiscal or calendar | 917 |
year. If the upper level pass-through entity directly and | 918 |
indirectly owns less than fifty per cent of the equity of the | 919 |
lower level pass-through entity on each day of the upper level | 920 |
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year in which or with | 921 |
which ends the calendar or fiscal year of the lower level | 922 |
pass-through entity and if, based upon clear and convincing | 923 |
evidence, complete information about the location and cost of the | 924 |
physical assets of the lower pass-through entity is not available | 925 |
to the upper level pass-through entity, then solely for purposes | 926 |
of ascertaining if a gain or loss constitutes a qualifying trust | 927 |
amount, the upper level pass-through entity shall be deemed as | 928 |
owning no equity of the lower level pass-through entity for each | 929 |
day during the upper level pass-through entity's calendar or | 930 |
fiscal year in which or with which ends the lower level | 931 |
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year. Nothing in division | 932 |
(BB)(5)(a)(iii) of this section shall be construed to provide for | 933 |
any deduction or exclusion in computing any trust's Ohio taxable | 934 |
income. | 935 |
(b) With respect to a trust that is not a resident for the | 936 |
taxable year and with respect to a part of a trust that is not a | 937 |
resident for the taxable year, "qualifying investee" for that | 938 |
taxable year does not include a C corporation if both of the | 939 |
following apply: | 940 |
(i) During the taxable year the trust or part of the trust | 941 |
