141.420 Taxable income of individuals from pass through entities -- Allowable credits from pass through entities -- Determining basis in ownership interest. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2004, and before January 1, 2007:
(1) (a) Every corporation identified in KRS 141.010(24)(b)2. to 8. that is doing business in this state shall, on or before the fifteenth day of the fourth month
following the close of its annual accounting period, file a copy of its
applicable federal return with the form prescribed and furnished by the
department. (b) For a corporation filing a return under paragraph (a) of this subsection, the individual partner's, member's, or shareholder's distributive share of net
income, gain, loss, or deduction shall be computed as nearly as practicable in
a manner identical to that required for federal income tax purposes except to
the extent required by differences between this chapter and the federal income
tax law and regulations. (2) (a) Resident individuals who are members, partners, or shareholders of a corporation required to file a return under subsection (1)(a) of this section
shall report and pay tax on the distributive share of net income, gain, loss, or
deduction as determined in subsection (1)(b) of this section. (b) Nonresident individuals who are members, partners, or shareholders of a corporation required to file a return under subsection (1)(a) of this section
shall report and pay tax on the distributive share of net income, gain, loss, or
deduction as determined in subsection (1)(b) of this section multiplied by the
apportionment fraction in KRS 141.120(8). (3) (a) Resident and nonresident individuals who are members, shareholders, or partners of a corporation required to file a return under paragraph (a) of
subsection (1) of this section shall be entitled to a nonrefundable credit against
the tax imposed under KRS 141.020. (b) The credit determined under this subsection shall be the member's, shareholder's, or partner's proportionate share of the tax due from the
corporation as determined under KRS 141.040, before the application of any
credits identified in KRS 141.0205(5) and reduced by the required minimum
imposed by KRS 141.040(7). (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2004, and before January 1, 2007, the
portion of the credit computed under paragraph (b) of this subsection that
exceeds the credit that would have been utilized if the corporation's income
were taxed at the rates in KRS 141.020 shall be refundable. The refundable
portion of the credit shall be the individual member's, shareholder's, or
partner's proportionate share of the amount computed by multiplying the
amount the corporation's income exceeds two hundred sixteen thousand six
hundred dollars ($216,600) by one percent (1%). (d) The credit determined under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection shall not operate to reduce the member's, shareholder's, or partner's tax due to an amount that is less than what would have been payable were the income
attributable to doing business in this state by the corporation ignored. (e) If a corporation identified in KRS 141.010(24)(b)1. to 8. is a partner, shareholder, or member of another corporation identified in KRS
141.010(24)(b)2. to 8., the amount of income, gain, loss, deduction,
refundable credit, or nonrefundable credit that the entity receives from the
entity in which it is a partner, shareholder, or member shall proportionately
pass through to the corporation's individual partners, members, or
shareholders based upon the distributive share ratio. The phrase "a corporation
identified in KRS 141.010(24)(b)1. to 8. is a partner, shareholder, or member
of another corporation identified in KRS 141.010(24)(b)2. to 8." shall extend
through each level of multitiered ownership. (f) The nonrefundable and refundable credits provided by this section shall be allowed only to the extent that the tax is paid by the corporation. If after the
credits are disallowed the corporation subsequently pays the tax due, the
nonrefundable and refundable credits shall then be allowed. (4) For purposes of computing the basis of an ownership interest or stock in a corporation identified in KRS 141.010(24)(b)2. to 8., the basis attributable to a
member, partner, or shareholder shall be adjusted by the distributive share of the
items of net income, gain, loss and deduction as though the items had been passed
through to the member, partner, or shareholder. (5) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, distributions by or from a corporation shall be treated in the same manner as they are treated for federal tax purposes. Effective: June 28, 2006
