dividends from a regulated investment company, as defined in section
eight hundred fifty-one of the internal revenue code, which has been
designated as the amount of such interest income in a written notice to

year of such regulated investment company, at least fifty percent of the
value of its total assets, as defined in subsection (c) of section eight
hundred fifty-one of the internal revenue code, consists of obligations
of the United States and its possessions. The aggregate amount so

distributions paid by such regulated investment company to its
shareholders with respect to that taxable year (attributable to income
earned in that year), including any such distributions paid after the

subdivisions and agencies, to the extent includible in gross income for

instrumentality of any one of the foregoing, to the extent includible in
gross income for federal income tax purposes;
(3-a) Pensions and annuities received by an individual who has
attained the age of fifty-nine and one-half, not otherwise excluded
pursuant to paragraph three of this subsection, to the extent includible

personal services performed by such individual prior to his retirement
from employment, which arise (i) from an employer-employee relationship
or (ii) from contributions to a retirement plan which are deductible for
federal income tax purposes. However, the term "pensions and annuities"
shall also include distributions received by an individual who has
attained the age of fifty-nine and one-half from an individual
retirement account or an individual retirement annuity, as defined in
section four hundred eight of the internal revenue code, and
distributions received by an individual who has attained the age of

nature. Nevertheless, the term "pensions and annuities" shall not
include any lump sum distribution, as defined in subparagraph (D) of
paragraph four of subsection (e) of section four hundred two of the
internal revenue code and taxed under section six hundred three of this
article. Where a husband and wife file a joint state personal income tax
return, the modification provided for in this paragraph shall be
computed as if they were filing separate state personal income tax
returns. Where a payment would otherwise come within the meaning of the
term "pensions and annuities" as set forth in this paragraph, except
that such individual is deceased, such payment shall, nevertheless, be
treated as a pension or annuity for purposes of this paragraph if such
payment is received by such individual's beneficiary.

hundred five of the internal revenue code of nineteen hundred fifty-four

after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-three as they were
in effect immediately prior to the repeal of such subsection.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sum of disability income excluded
pursuant to this paragraph, and pension and annuity income excluded
pursuant to paragraph three-a of this subsection, shall not exceed
twenty thousand dollars.
(ii) Notwithstanding subsection (f) of this section, if a husband and
wife determine their federal income tax on a joint return but are
required to determine their New York income taxes separately, the
amounts of exclusion allowed under subparagraph (i) of this paragraph
shall be determined in the same joint manner as such amounts would have
been determined under the provisions of paragraph five of subsection (d)
of section one hundred five of the internal revenue code as such
provisions were in effect immediately prior to the repeal of such
subsection, but shall be attributed for New York income tax purposes to
the spouse who would have been required to report any such amount as
income if the spouses had determined their federal income taxes
separately.
(iii) Where a husband and wife file a joint state income tax return,
the twenty thousand dollar limitation provided in subparagraph (i) of

or estate from which the taxpayer received the income or gain;

for purposes other than leasing for part of a taxable year and leases
for a part of a taxable year, a modification under paragraph one shall
be allowed in proportion to the part of the year such property is used
by the taxpayer.

sixty-three, or (B) acquired after December thirty-first, nineteen
hundred sixty-seven, pursuant to a contract which was, on or before

sixty-eight, and not thereafter substantially modified, and such
acquisition, construction, reconstruction or erection would qualify
under the rules in paragraphs four, five or six of subsection (h) of
section forty-eight of the internal revenue code provided all references

seventy, except in the case of tangible property which is acquired,

December thirty-first, nineteen hundred sixty-three, or (B) acquired
after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred sixty-seven, by purchase
as defined in section one hundred seventy-nine (d) of the internal
revenue code, if the original use of such property commenced with the
taxpayer, commenced in this state and commenced after December
thirty-first, nineteen hundred sixty-three. Provided, however, a
modification under paragraph one of this subsection shall be allowed
with respect to property described in this paragraph only on condition
that such property shall be principally used by the taxpayer in the

mining; extracting; farming; agriculture; horticulture; floriculture;
viticulture; or commercial fishing. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, manufacturing shall mean the process of working raw materials

artificial process by the use of machinery, tools, appliances and other
similar equipment. Property used in the production of goods shall

principally used in the repair and service of other machinery, equipment
or other tangible property used principally in the production of goods
and shall include all facilities used in the manufacturing operation,
including storage of material to be used in manufacturing and of the
products that are manufactured. At the option of the taxpayer, air and
water pollution control facilities which qualify for elective deductions
under subsection (h) of section six hundred twelve may be treated, for
purposes of this paragraph, as tangible property principally used in the
production of goods by manufacturing; processing; assembling; refining;
mining; extracting; farming; agriculture; horticulture; floriculture;
viticulture; or commercial fishing, in which event, a deduction shall
not be allowed under such subsection (h). However, for any taxable year
beginning on or after January first, nineteen hundred sixty-eight, a
taxpayer shall not be allowed a modification under paragraph one of this
subsection with respect to tangible personal property leased to any

property shall be considered a lease. With respect to property which a
taxpayer uses for purposes other than leasing for part of a taxable year
and leases for a part of a taxable year, a modification under paragraph
one shall be allowed in proportion to the part of the year such property
is used by the taxpayer.
(5) If the modifications allowable for any taxable year pursuant to
this subsection exceed the taxpayer's New York adjusted gross income,
determined without the allowance of such modifications, the excess may
be carried over to the following taxable year or years and may be
subtracted from federal adjusted gross income for such year or years
provided, however, that in no event shall such excess, insofar as it
reflects subtractions taken with respect to items set forth in paragraph
two of this subsection, be carried over to taxable years commencing on
or after January first, nineteen hundred ninety-four.
(6) In any taxable year when property is sold or otherwise disposed
of, with respect to which a modification has been allowed pursuant to
paragraph one or two of this subsection, the basis of such property
shall be adjusted to reflect the modifications so allowed, and if the
basis as so adjusted is lower than the adjusted basis of the same
property for federal income tax purposes, there shall be added to
federal adjusted gross income the amount of the difference between such
adjusted bases.
(h) Optional modification for waste treatment facility expenditures.
For taxable years commencing prior to January first, nineteen hundred
eighty-seven, at the election of the taxpayer, there shall also be

point of such removal, reduction or rendering to the point of discharge
of air, meeting emission standards as established by the department of
environmental conservation but excluding such facilities installed for
the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the
manufacturing process or are marketable and excluding those facilities
which rely for their efficacy on dilution, dispersion or assimilation of
air contaminants in the ambient air after emission. Such term shall
further include flue gas desulfurization equipment and attendant sludge
disposal facilities, fluidized bed boilers, precombustion coal cleaning
facilities or other facilities that conform with this subdivision and
which comply with the provisions of the state acid deposition control
act set forth in title nine of article nineteen of the environmental

case of industrial waste treatment facilities, is initiated on or after
January first, nineteen hundred sixty-five, or which, in the case of air
pollution control facilities, is initiated on or after January first,
nineteen hundred sixty-six, and
(B) on condition that such facilities have been certified by the state
commissioner of environmental conservation or his designated
representative, pursuant to section 19-0309 of the environmental
conservation law, as complying with the applicable provisions of the
environmental conservation law, the public health law, the state
sanitary code and codes, rules, regulations, permits or orders
promulgated pursuant thereto, and
(C) on condition that for the taxable year and all succeeding taxable
years, any deductions allowed for federal income tax purposes for such
expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of the same property,
except to the extent that its basis may be attributable to factors other
than such expenditures, be added to federal adjusted gross income
pursuant to paragraph five of subsection (b) of this section, or in case
a modification is allowable pursuant to this paragraph for only a part
of such expenditures, on condition that a proportionate amount of any
such deductions allowed for federal income tax purposes be added to
federal adjusted gross income, and
(D) where the election provided for in subsection (g) of section six
hundred twelve has not been exercised in respect to the same property.
(3) (A) If expenditures in respect to an industrial waste treatment
facility or an air pollution control facility have been allowed as a
modification as provided herein and if within ten years from the end of
the taxable year in which such modification was allowed such property or
any part thereof is used for the primary purpose of salvaging materials
which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable, the
taxpayer shall report such change of use in its return for the first
taxable year during which it occurs, and the tax commission may
recompute the tax for the year or years for which such modification was
allowed, and may assess any additional tax resulting from such
recomputation within the time fixed by paragraph eight of subsection (c)
of section six hundred eighty-three.
(B) If a modification is allowed as herein provided for expenditures
paid or incurred during any taxable year on the basis of a temporary
certificate of compliance issued pursuant to the environmental
conservation law, and if the taxpayer fails to obtain a permanent
certificate of compliance upon completion of the facilities with respect
to which such temporary certificate was issued, the taxpayer shall
report such failure in its report for the taxable year during which such
facilities are completed, and the tax commission may recompute the tax
for the year or years for which such modification was allowed, and may
assess any additional tax resulting from such recomputation within the
time fixed by paragraph eight of subsection (c) of section six hundred
eighty-three.
(C) If a modification is allowed as herein provided for expenditures
paid or incurred during any taxable year in respect to an air pollution
control facility on the basis of a certificate of compliance issued
pursuant to the environmental conservation law and the certificate is
revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the
environmental conservation law, the tax commission may recompute the tax
for the year or years for which the facility is not or was not in
compliance with the applicable provisions of the environmental
conservation law, the state sanitary code or codes, rules, regulations,
permits or orders issued pursuant thereto, and for which a modification
was allowed, and may assess any additional tax resulting from such
recomputation within the time fixed by paragraph eight of subsection (c)
of section six hundred eighty-three.

of, with respect to which a modification has been allowed pursuant to
this paragraph, such modification shall be disregarded in computing gain
or loss, and the gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of such
property shall be the gain or loss entering into the computation of
federal adjusted gross income for such taxable year.
(i) In the case of mines, oil and gas wells and other natural
deposits, any allowance for percentage depletion pursuant to section six
hundred thirteen or section six hundred thirteen A of the internal
revenue code shall be added to federal adjusted gross income. However,
with respect to the property as to which such addition to federal
adjusted gross income is required, an allowance for depletion shall be
subtracted from federal adjusted gross income in the amount that would
be deductible under section six hundred eleven of such code if the
deduction for an allowance for depletion were computed without reference
to such section six hundred thirteen or section six hundred thirteen A.
With respect to the computation of depletion pursuant to this
subsection, the basis for such computation for taxable years beginning
in nineteen hundred seventy-two shall be the federal basis. For
subsequent taxable years, the basis for such computation shall be
reduced only by the deduction for the allowance for depletion deductible
pursuant to this subsection. The portion of any gain from the sale or
other disposition of such property having a higher adjusted basis for
New York income tax purposes than for federal income tax purposes, that
does not exceed such difference in basis, shall be subtracted from

attributable to such property.
(m) For purposes of subsections (k) and (l) of this section, qualified

(o) Modifications for new business investment gains and certain new
business investments.
1. For purposes of this subsection, the following definitions shall
apply:
(A) "New business investment gain" means gain from the sale of a new
business investment issued to the taxpayer before January first,
nineteen hundred eighty-eight, if:
(i) such new business investment is, in the hands of the person
selling the same (whether or not the taxpayer), a capital asset as
defined in section 1221 of the internal revenue code of nineteen hundred
fifty-four, as amended, and
(ii) such new business investment was held by such person for the
period specified in paragraph two of this subsection.
(B) "New business" means a corporation or partnership organized or
formed under the laws of any state which:
(i) adopts a plan on or after July first, nineteen hundred eighty-one
and before January first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight, to conduct a
new business within the meaning and intent of this section and to issue
new business investments, as defined in this subsection, and
(ii) is, at the date of adoption of such plan, subject to taxation
(whether or not any amount is owing) under section one hundred
eighty-three, one hundred eighty-four or one hundred eighty-six of
article nine of this chapter, or under article nine-a of this chapter or
article twenty-three of this chapter, or would have been subject to tax
under article twenty-three (as such article was in effect on January
first, nineteen hundred eighty) if such article were still in effect,
and the first taxable period for which such new business became subject
to such taxation commenced on or after July first, nineteen hundred
eighty-one and before January first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight, and
such first taxable period includes the date of adoption of such plan; if
not so subject to taxation, the new business must be subject to taxation
under such sections or articles for the first time within one year from
the date of adoption of such plan, and
(iii) is conducted (or will be conducted, as evidenced by such plan)
whereby at least ninety percent of the assets (valued at original cost)
are located and employed in this state and eighty percent of the
employees (as ascertained within the meaning and intent of subparagraph
three of paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred ten
of this chapter and, in addition, in the case of a partnership,
excluding partners) are principally employed in this state during each
taxable period, or part thereof, as required by clause (iv) of this
subparagraph, and
(iv) within ninety days after the adoption of such plan, or, if a
return is required, as part of such return, under such article nine,
article nine-A or article twenty-three (as such article was in effect on
or before December thirtieth, nineteen hundred eighty-two), whichever is
sooner, shall file a new business certificate with the state tax
commission attesting to whether it meets, if subject to taxation under
such articles, or intends to meet, if not so subject, all of the
conditions stated in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subparagraph
within the time set forth therein. Thereafter, during the first four
taxable years of such new business, along with, and as part of, any
return required under such articles, such new business shall make and
file a new business certificate for the period covered by such return
attesting to whether it has met the conditions specified in this
subparagraph during the taxable period covered by such return. If no
return is required under such articles, such certificate shall be filed
annually on or before the fifteenth day of March which shall cover the
twelve consecutive calendar month period ending on the last day of
December immediately preceding such March fifteenth. If such new
business fails to meet such conditions specified in this subparagraph,
it shall, in addition, give notice of this fact, within the time
prescribed by the state tax commission, to the holders of its "new
business investments." The state tax commission shall prescribe the form
and content of such new business certification and may require a new
business to file such certificate for periods (even if no return is
filed or required, but for this section) covering up to eight years from
the date of adoption of such plan, as in its discretion, it deems the
same necessary for the enforcement of this subparagraph, and
(v) Special rules:
(1) For any taxable period, in order to constitute a new business, a
business enterprise must have derived more than sixty percent of its
aggregate gross receipts from sources other than royalties, rents,
dividends, interest, annuities and sales or exchanges of stock or
securities.
(2) A new business does not include (i) any new business of which
twenty-five percent or more of the number of shares of stock that
entitle the holders thereof to vote for the election of directors or
trustees is owned, directly or indirectly, by a taxpayer subject to tax
under section one hundred eighty-three, one hundred eighty-four, one
hundred eighty-five or one hundred eighty-six of article nine of this
chapter, or under article nine-A, thirty-two or thirty-three of this
chapter or (ii) any new business substantially similar in operation and
in ownership, directly or indirectly, to a business entity (or entities)
taxable, or previously taxable, under such sections, such articles,
article twenty-three or which would have been subject to tax under
article twenty-three (as such article was in effect on January first,
nineteen hundred eighty) or the income (or losses) of which is (or was)
includable under article twenty-two whereby the intent and purpose of
this subsection would be evaded.
(C) "New business investment" means and includes the following
investments issued before January first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight
by a new business pursuant to a plan described in clause (i) of
subparagraph (B) of this paragraph for money or other property (other
than stock or securities) on or before the expiration of the third
taxable year of such new business (excluding any short period
immediately preceding such taxable year because the new business was not
in existence for an entire taxable year) or forty-two months from the
adoption of such plan, whichever is sooner: (i) original issuance
capital stock as part of a new issue, (ii) other original issuance
securities of a new issue of a like nature as stocks which are designed
as a means of investment and issued for the purpose of financing
corporate enterprises and providing for a distribution of rights in such
enterprises, (iii) debt obligations such as bonds and debentures for a
term of at least one year, whether secured or unsecured, and (iv)
certificates and other instruments representing proprietary interests,
whether limited or otherwise, in and assumption of general liabilities,
whether limited or otherwise, of a partnership enterprise.
2. A taxpayer may subtract from his federal adjusted gross income a
portion of an amount constituting a new business investment gain, as
follows:
If new business The modification is equal to the
investment held for: following proportion of the gain
includable in federal adjusted
gross income:
At least four years, but
less than five years twenty-five percent
At least five years, but
less than six years fifty percent
At least six years one hundred percent
3. Where, within six months of the realization of a new business
investment gain allowable as the basis of a modification under paragraph
two of this subsection, such modification is equal to less than one
hundred percent of the portion of the gain includable in federal
adjusted gross income and the taxpayer purchases a new business
investment which is then held for a period of at least six months, the
taxpayer may subtract from his federal adjusted gross income ten percent
(but not an amount that will reduce the portion of such gain included in
his New York income below zero) of the amount of such gain where the
purchase price of the new business investment is equal to or greater
than the proceeds of the sale giving rise to such gain. Where the
purchase price of the new business investment is less than an amount
equal to the proceeds of such sale, the modification allowable under
this paragraph shall be equal to ten percent of an amount equal to the
product of (A) the amount of the gain and (B) a fraction the numerator
of which is the purchase price of the new investment and the denominator
of which is an amount equal to the proceeds of such sale. The
modification allowable under this paragraph may be utilized, at the
option of the taxpayer, with respect to the taxable year in which the
new business investment gain is realized or the year containing the last
day of the six-month retention period described in this paragraph.
4. The state tax commission may prescribe such rules and regulations
as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this subdivision.
(p) New business investment deferral. For taxable years beginning
before January first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight, at the option of
the taxpayer, there may be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income
a reinvested amount of long-term capital gain realized in a taxable year
from the sale of a capital asset, as such term is defined in section
1221 of the internal revenue code, which is not a new business
investment. A reinvested amount of long-term capital gain shall mean an
amount which bears the same ratio to the long-term capital gain realized
from the sale of a capital asset which was includable in New York
adjusted gross income as that portion of the sale proceeds which is
reinvested, within one year from date of sale, in a New York new
business bears to the total sale proceeds. For the purposes of this
subsection, a New York new business is a business enterprise which (1)
has been a taxpayer under this article for no more than three taxable
years (including short taxable years), (2) over fifty percent of the
number of shares of stock that entitle the holders thereof to vote for
the election of directors or trustees is not owned, directly or
indirectly, by a taxpayer subject to tax under section one hundred
eighty-three, one hundred eighty-four, one hundred eighty-five or one
hundred eighty-six of article nine of this chapter, or under article
nine-A, thirty-two or thirty-three of this chapter, (3) is not
substantially similar in operation or ownership, directly or indirectly,
to a business entity (or entities) taxable, or previously taxable, under
such sections, such articles, article twenty-three or which would have
been subject to tax under article twenty-three (as such article was in
effect on January first, nineteen hundred eighty) or the income (or
losses) of which is (or was) includable under article twenty-two whereby
the intent and purpose of this subsection would be evaded, (4) locates
and employs at least ninety percent of its assets in the state, (5)
employs principally in the state eighty percent of its employees (as
ascertained within the meaning and intent of subparagraph three of
paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred ten of this
chapter and, in addition, in the case of a partnership, excluding
partners), (6) derives less than forty percent of its gross income from
dividends, interest, royalties (other than mineral, oil, or gas
royalties or copyright royalties), and annuities and (7) reports at
least twenty-five hundred dollars in gross income in any taxable year.
The reinvested amount must qualify as a capital asset as defined in
section 1221 of the internal revenue code and must be retained by the
taxpayer for at least twelve months. The modification allowable under
this subsection shall be utilized with respect to the taxable year in
which the twelve month retention period ends. The commissioner of
taxation and finance may require annual information reports on the
investments in new businesses made pursuant to this subsection, and such
other reports as he may require to ensure against the evasion of the
intent and purposes of this subsection.
(q) An amount deferred under subsection (p) hereof shall be added to
federal adjusted gross income when the reinvestment in the New York new
business which qualified a taxpayer for such deferral is sold.
(r) Related members expense add back. (1) Definitions. (A) Related
member. "Related member" means a related person as defined in
subparagraph (c) of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four
hundred sixty-five of the internal revenue code, except that "fifty
percent" shall be substituted for "ten percent".
(B) Effective rate of tax. "Effective rate of tax" means, as to any
state or U.S. possession, the maximum statutory rate of tax imposed by
the state or possession on or measured by a related member's net income
multiplied by the apportionment percentage, if any, applicable to the
related member under the laws of said jurisdiction. For purposes of this
definition, the effective rate of tax as to any state or U.S. possession
is zero where the related member's net income tax liability in said
jurisdiction is reported on a combined or consolidated return including
both the taxpayer and the related member where the reported transactions
between the taxpayer and the related member are eliminated or offset.
Also, for purposes of this definition, when computing the effective rate
of tax for a jurisdiction in which a related member's net income is
eliminated or offset by a credit or similar adjustment that is dependent
upon the related member either maintaining or managing intangible
property or collecting interest income in that jurisdiction, the maximum
statutory rate of tax imposed by said jurisdiction shall be decreased to
reflect the statutory rate of tax that applies to the related member as
effectively reduced by such credit or similar adjustment.
(C) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly connected
to the acquisition, use, maintenance or management, ownership, sale,
exchange, or any other disposition of licenses, trademarks, copyrights,
trade names, trade dress, service marks, mask works, trade secrets,
patents and any other similar types of intangible assets as determined
by the commissioner, and include amounts allowable as interest
deductions under section one hundred sixty-three of the internal revenue
code to the extent such amounts are directly or indirectly for, related
to or in connection with the acquisition, use, maintenance or
management, ownership, sale, exchange or disposition of such intangible
assets.
(D) Valid business purpose. A valid business purpose is one or more
business purposes, other than the avoidance or reduction of taxation,
which alone or in combination constitute the primary motivation for some
business activity or transaction, which activity or transaction changes
in a meaningful way, apart from tax effects, the economic position of
the taxpayer. The economic position of the taxpayer includes an increase
in the market share of the taxpayer, or the entry by the taxpayer into
new business markets.
(2) Royalty expense add backs. (A) For the purpose of computing New
York adjusted gross income, a taxpayer must add back royalty payments
directly or indirectly paid, accrued, or incurred in connection with one
or more direct or indirect transactions with one or more related members
during the taxable year to the extent deductible in calculating federal
taxable income.
(B) Exceptions. (i) The adjustment required in this subsection shall
not apply to the portion of the royalty payment that the taxpayer
establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and in the
form specified by the commissioner, meets all of the following
requirements: (I) the related member was subject to tax in this state or
another state or possession of the United States or a foreign nation or
some combination thereof on a tax base that included the royalty payment
paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; (II) the related member
during the same taxable year directly or indirectly paid, accrued or
incurred such portion to a person that is not a related member; and
(III) the transaction giving rise to the royalty payment between the
taxpayer and the related member was undertaken for a valid business
purpose.
(ii) The adjustment required in this subsection shall not apply if the
taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and
in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the related member
was subject to tax on or measured by its net income in this state or
another state or possession of the United States or some combination
thereof; (II) the tax base for said tax included the royalty payment
paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; and (III) the aggregate
effective rate of tax applied to the related member in those
jurisdictions is no less than eighty percent of the statutory rate of
tax that applied to the taxpayer under section six hundred one of this
article for the taxable year.
(iii) The adjustment required in this subsection shall not apply if
the taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type
and in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the royalty
payment was paid, accrued or incurred to a related member organized
under the laws of a country other than the United States; (II) the
related member's income from the transaction was subject to a
comprehensive income tax treaty between such country and the United
States; (III) the related member was subject to tax in a foreign nation
on a tax base that included the royalty payment paid, accrued or
incurred by the taxpayer; (IV) the related member's income from the
transaction was taxed in such country at an effective tax rate at least
equal to that imposed by this state; and (V) the royalty payment was
paid, accrued or incurred pursuant to a transaction that was undertaken
for a valid business purpose and using terms that reflect an arm's
length relationship.
(iv) The adjustment required in this subsection shall not apply if the
taxpayer and the commissioner agree in writing to the application or use
of alternative adjustments or computations. The commissioner may, in his
or her discretion, agree to the application or use of alternative
adjustments or computations when he or she concludes that in the absence
of such agreement the income of the taxpayer would not be properly
reflected.
(s) New York S termination year. (1) General. In the case of a New
York S termination year, the amount of any item of S corporation income,
loss and deduction included in the shareholder's federal adjusted gross
income and any reductions for taxes (as described in paragraphs two and
three of subsection (f) of section thirteen hundred sixty-six of the
internal revenue code) shall be adjusted in accordance with the
treatment provided in paragraph two or three of this subsection.
(2) Pro rata allocation. Unless paragraph three of this subsection
applies, an equal portion of each S corporation item shall be assigned
to each day of the S corporation's taxable year for federal income tax
purposes. The portion of each such item thereby assigned to the S short
year shall be treated as an item of a New York S corporation, and the
portion of each such item thereby assigned to the C short year shall be
treated as an item of an S corporation which is a New York C
corporation.
(3) Normal tax accounting. The portion of each S corporation item
assigned to the S short year and the C short year shall be determined
using normal tax accounting rules if:
(A) there is a sale or exchange of fifty percent or more of the stock
in such corporation during the New York S termination year; or
(B) the corporation so elects, in the manner the commissioner may
provide. No election under this subparagraph shall be effective unless
all persons who are shareholders during the S short year and all persons
who are shareholders on the first day of the C short year consent to
such election.
(u) Emerging technology investment deferral. In the case of any sale
of a qualified emerging technologies investment held for more than
thirty-six months and with respect to which the taxpayer elects the

shall be determined in the same joint manner as such amounts would have
been determined under the provisions of paragraph five of subsection (d)
of section one hundred five of the internal revenue code as such

subsection, but shall be attributed for New York income tax purposes to
the spouse who would have been required to report any such amount as
income if the spouses had determined their federal income taxes
separately.

the twenty thousand dollar limitation provided in subparagraph (i) of

and shall include all facilities used in the manufacturing operation,
including storage of material to be used in manufacturing and of the
products that are manufactured. At the option of the taxpayer, air and
water pollution control facilities which qualify for elective deductions
under subsection (h) of section six hundred twelve may be treated, for
purposes of this paragraph, as tangible property principally used in the
production of goods by manufacturing; processing; assembling; refining;
mining; extracting; farming; agriculture; horticulture; floriculture;
viticulture; or commercial fishing, in which event, a deduction shall
not be allowed under such subsection (h). However, for any taxable year
beginning on or after January first, nineteen hundred sixty-eight, a
taxpayer shall not be allowed a modification under paragraph one of this
subsection with respect to tangible personal property leased to any
other person or corporation. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any
contract or agreement to lease or rent or for a license to use such
property shall be considered a lease. With respect to property which a
taxpayer uses for purposes other than leasing for part of a taxable year
and leases for a part of a taxable year, a modification under paragraph
one shall be allowed in proportion to the part of the year such property
is used by the taxpayer.
(5) If the modifications allowable for any taxable year pursuant to
this subsection exceed the taxpayer's New York adjusted gross income,
determined without the allowance of such modifications, the excess may
be carried over to the following taxable year or years and may be
subtracted from federal adjusted gross income for such year or years
provided, however, that in no event shall such excess, insofar as it
reflects subtractions taken with respect to items set forth in paragraph
two of this subsection, be carried over to taxable years commencing on
or after January first, nineteen hundred ninety-four.
(6) In any taxable year when property is sold or otherwise disposed
of, with respect to which a modification has been allowed pursuant to
paragraph one or two of this subsection, the basis of such property
shall be adjusted to reflect the modifications so allowed, and if the
basis as so adjusted is lower than the adjusted basis of the same
property for federal income tax purposes, there shall be added to
federal adjusted gross income the amount of the difference between such
adjusted bases.
(h) Optional modification for waste treatment facility expenditures.
For taxable years commencing prior to January first, nineteen hundred
eighty-seven, at the election of the taxpayer, there shall also be
subtracted from federal adjusted gross income expenditures paid or
incurred during the taxable year for the construction, reconstruction,
erection or improvement of industrial waste treatment facilities and air
pollution control facilities.
(1) (A) The term "industrial waste treatment facilities" shall mean
facilities for the treatment, neutralization, or stabilization of
industrial waste and other wastes (as the terms "industrial waste" and
"other wastes" are defined in section 17-0105 of the environmental
conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point of such
treatment, neutralization or stabilization to the point of disposal,
including the necessary pumping and transmitting facilities.
(B) The term "air pollution control facilities" shall mean facilities
which remove, reduce, or render less noxious air contaminants emitted
from an air contamination source (as the terms "air contaminant" and
"air contamination source" are defined in section 19-0107 of the
environmental conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the
point of such removal, reduction or rendering to the point of discharge
of air, meeting emission standards as established by the department of
environmental conservation but excluding such facilities installed for
the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the
manufacturing process or are marketable and excluding those facilities
which rely for their efficacy on dilution, dispersion or assimilation of
air contaminants in the ambient air after emission. Such term shall
further include flue gas desulfurization equipment and attendant sludge
disposal facilities, fluidized bed boilers, precombustion coal cleaning
facilities or other facilities that conform with this subdivision and
which comply with the provisions of the state acid deposition control
act set forth in title nine of article nineteen of the environmental
conservation law.
(2) Such modifications shall be allowed only
(A) with respect to tangible property which is depreciable, pursuant
to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code, having
a situs in this state and used in the taxpayer's trade or business, the
construction, reconstruction, erection or improvement of which, in the
case of industrial waste treatment facilities, is initiated on or after
January first, nineteen hundred sixty-five, or which, in the case of air
pollution control facilities, is initiated on or after January first,
nineteen hundred sixty-six, and
(B) on condition that such facilities have been certified by the state
commissioner of environmental conservation or his designated
representative, pursuant to section 19-0309 of the environmental
conservation law, as complying with the applicable provisions of the
environmental conservation law, the public health law, the state
sanitary code and codes, rules, regulations, permits or orders
promulgated pursuant thereto, and
(C) on condition that for the taxable year and all succeeding taxable
years, any deductions allowed for federal income tax purposes for such
expenditures or for depreciation or amortization of the same property,
except to the extent that its basis may be attributable to factors other
than such expenditures, be added to federal adjusted gross income
pursuant to paragraph five of subsection (b) of this section, or in case
a modification is allowable pursuant to this paragraph for only a part
of such expenditures, on condition that a proportionate amount of any
such deductions allowed for federal income tax purposes be added to
federal adjusted gross income, and
(D) where the election provided for in subsection (g) of section six
hundred twelve has not been exercised in respect to the same property.
(3) (A) If expenditures in respect to an industrial waste treatment
facility or an air pollution control facility have been allowed as a
modification as provided herein and if within ten years from the end of
the taxable year in which such modification was allowed such property or
any part thereof is used for the primary purpose of salvaging materials
which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable, the
taxpayer shall report such change of use in its return for the first
taxable year during which it occurs, and the tax commission may
recompute the tax for the year or years for which such modification was
allowed, and may assess any additional tax resulting from such
recomputation within the time fixed by paragraph eight of subsection (c)
of section six hundred eighty-three.
(B) If a modification is allowed as herein provided for expenditures
paid or incurred during any taxable year on the basis of a temporary
certificate of compliance issued pursuant to the environmental
conservation law, and if the taxpayer fails to obtain a permanent
certificate of compliance upon completion of the facilities with respect
to which such temporary certificate was issued, the taxpayer shall
report such failure in its report for the taxable year during which such
facilities are completed, and the tax commission may recompute the tax
for the year or years for which such modification was allowed, and may
assess any additional tax resulting from such recomputation within the
time fixed by paragraph eight of subsection (c) of section six hundred
eighty-three.
(C) If a modification is allowed as herein provided for expenditures
paid or incurred during any taxable year in respect to an air pollution
control facility on the basis of a certificate of compliance issued
pursuant to the environmental conservation law and the certificate is
revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the
environmental conservation law, the tax commission may recompute the tax
for the year or years for which the facility is not or was not in
compliance with the applicable provisions of the environmental
conservation law, the state sanitary code or codes, rules, regulations,
permits or orders issued pursuant thereto, and for which a modification
was allowed, and may assess any additional tax resulting from such
recomputation within the time fixed by paragraph eight of subsection (c)
of section six hundred eighty-three.
(4) In any taxable year when property is sold or otherwise disposed
of, with respect to which a modification has been allowed pursuant to
this paragraph, such modification shall be disregarded in computing gain
or loss, and the gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of such
property shall be the gain or loss entering into the computation of
federal adjusted gross income for such taxable year.
(i) In the case of mines, oil and gas wells and other natural
deposits, any allowance for percentage depletion pursuant to section six
hundred thirteen or section six hundred thirteen A of the internal
revenue code shall be added to federal adjusted gross income. However,
with respect to the property as to which such addition to federal
adjusted gross income is required, an allowance for depletion shall be
subtracted from federal adjusted gross income in the amount that would
be deductible under section six hundred eleven of such code if the
deduction for an allowance for depletion were computed without reference
to such section six hundred thirteen or section six hundred thirteen A.
With respect to the computation of depletion pursuant to this
subsection, the basis for such computation for taxable years beginning
in nineteen hundred seventy-two shall be the federal basis. For
subsequent taxable years, the basis for such computation shall be
reduced only by the deduction for the allowance for depletion deductible
pursuant to this subsection. The portion of any gain from the sale or
other disposition of such property having a higher adjusted basis for
New York income tax purposes than for federal income tax purposes, that
does not exceed such difference in basis, shall be subtracted from
federal adjusted gross income.
(j) Modification for nonpublic school tuition. (1) General. An
individual shall be entitled to subtract from his federal adjusted gross
income an amount shown in the table set forth in this paragraph for his
New York adjusted gross income for the taxable year, computed without
the benefit of this modification, multiplied by the number of his

full-time basis for at least four months during the regular school year
for the education of such dependent in grades one through twelve,
provided such individual is allowed an exemption under section six
hundred sixteen for such dependent. Provided, further, that the
modification under this paragraph may be taken only if such individual
has paid at least fifty dollars for each such dependent in tuition to

gross income of a husband and wife for purposes of the table set forth
in paragraph one of this subsection, the New York adjusted gross income
of a husband and wife shall be the aggregate of their New York adjusted

dependents with respect to which this modification may be claimed shall
be no more than three in the aggregate.

schools which comply with clause (i) of this subparagraph for the
preceding calendar year and shall provide such other assistance with
respect to whether nonpublic schools come within clause (i) as the state
tax commission may require.
(C) "Regular school year", as used in this subsection, shall mean the
months of the taxable year exclusive of July and August.
(4) Additional information. Any claim for a modification under this
subsection shall be accompanied by such information as the tax

of this section applies, the amount of any gain or loss includible in
federal adjusted income shall be adjusted to reflect the inclusions and
exclusions from federal adjusted income pursuant to paragraph eight of
subsection (b) and paragraph sixteen of subsection (c) of this section
attributable to such property.
(m) For purposes of subsections (k) and (l) of this section, qualified
resurgence zone property shall mean qualified property described in
paragraph two of subsection k of section 168 of the internal revenue
code substantially all of the use of which is in the resurgence zone, as

(o) Modifications for new business investment gains and certain new
business investments.
1. For purposes of this subsection, the following definitions shall
apply:
(A) "New business investment gain" means gain from the sale of a new
business investment issued to the taxpayer before January first,
nineteen hundred eighty-eight, if:
(i) such new business investment is, in the hands of the person
selling the same (whether or not the taxpayer), a capital asset as
defined in section 1221 of the internal revenue code of nineteen hundred
fifty-four, as amended, and
(ii) such new business investment was held by such person for the
period specified in paragraph two of this subsection.
(B) "New business" means a corporation or partnership organized or
formed under the laws of any state which:
(i) adopts a plan on or after July first, nineteen hundred eighty-one
and before January first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight, to conduct a
new business within the meaning and intent of this section and to issue
new business investments, as defined in this subsection, and
(ii) is, at the date of adoption of such plan, subject to taxation
(whether or not any amount is owing) under section one hundred
eighty-three, one hundred eighty-four or one hundred eighty-six of
article nine of this chapter, or under article nine-a of this chapter or
article twenty-three of this chapter, or would have been subject to tax
under article twenty-three (as such article was in effect on January
first, nineteen hundred eighty) if such article were still in effect,
and the first taxable period for which such new business became subject
to such taxation commenced on or after July first, nineteen hundred
eighty-one and before January first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight, and
such first taxable period includes the date of adoption of such plan; if
not so subject to taxation, the new business must be subject to taxation
under such sections or articles for the first time within one year from
the date of adoption of such plan, and
(iii) is conducted (or will be conducted, as evidenced by such plan)
whereby at least ninety percent of the assets (valued at original cost)
are located and employed in this state and eighty percent of the
employees (as ascertained within the meaning and intent of subparagraph
three of paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred ten
of this chapter and, in addition, in the case of a partnership,
excluding partners) are principally employed in this state during each
taxable period, or part thereof, as required by clause (iv) of this
subparagraph, and
(iv) within ninety days after the adoption of such plan, or, if a
return is required, as part of such return, under such article nine,
article nine-A or article twenty-three (as such article was in effect on
or before December thirtieth, nineteen hundred eighty-two), whichever is
sooner, shall file a new business certificate with the state tax
commission attesting to whether it meets, if subject to taxation under
such articles, or intends to meet, if not so subject, all of the
conditions stated in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subparagraph
within the time set forth therein. Thereafter, during the first four
taxable years of such new business, along with, and as part of, any
return required under such articles, such new business shall make and
file a new business certificate for the period covered by such return
attesting to whether it has met the conditions specified in this
subparagraph during the taxable period covered by such return. If no
return is required under such articles, such certificate shall be filed
annually on or before the fifteenth day of March which shall cover the
twelve consecutive calendar month period ending on the last day of
December immediately preceding such March fifteenth. If such new
business fails to meet such conditions specified in this subparagraph,
it shall, in addition, give notice of this fact, within the time
prescribed by the state tax commission, to the holders of its "new
business investments." The state tax commission shall prescribe the form
and content of such new business certification and may require a new
business to file such certificate for periods (even if no return is
filed or required, but for this section) covering up to eight years from
the date of adoption of such plan, as in its discretion, it deems the
same necessary for the enforcement of this subparagraph, and
(v) Special rules:
(1) For any taxable period, in order to constitute a new business, a
business enterprise must have derived more than sixty percent of its
aggregate gross receipts from sources other than royalties, rents,
dividends, interest, annuities and sales or exchanges of stock or
securities.
(2) A new business does not include (i) any new business of which
twenty-five percent or more of the number of shares of stock that
entitle the holders thereof to vote for the election of directors or
trustees is owned, directly or indirectly, by a taxpayer subject to tax
under section one hundred eighty-three, one hundred eighty-four, one
hundred eighty-five or one hundred eighty-six of article nine of this
chapter, or under article nine-A, thirty-two or thirty-three of this
chapter or (ii) any new business substantially similar in operation and
in ownership, directly or indirectly, to a business entity (or entities)
taxable, or previously taxable, under such sections, such articles,
article twenty-three or which would have been subject to tax under
article twenty-three (as such article was in effect on January first,
nineteen hundred eighty) or the income (or losses) of which is (or was)
includable under article twenty-two whereby the intent and purpose of
this subsection would be evaded.
(C) "New business investment" means and includes the following
investments issued before January first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight
by a new business pursuant to a plan described in clause (i) of
subparagraph (B) of this paragraph for money or other property (other
than stock or securities) on or before the expiration of the third
taxable year of such new business (excluding any short period
immediately preceding such taxable year because the new business was not
in existence for an entire taxable year) or forty-two months from the
adoption of such plan, whichever is sooner: (i) original issuance
capital stock as part of a new issue, (ii) other original issuance
securities of a new issue of a like nature as stocks which are designed
as a means of investment and issued for the purpose of financing
corporate enterprises and providing for a distribution of rights in such
enterprises, (iii) debt obligations such as bonds and debentures for a
term of at least one year, whether secured or unsecured, and (iv)
certificates and other instruments representing proprietary interests,
whether limited or otherwise, in and assumption of general liabilities,
whether limited or otherwise, of a partnership enterprise.
2. A taxpayer may subtract from his federal adjusted gross income a
portion of an amount constituting a new business investment gain, as
follows:
If new business The modification is equal to the
investment held for: following proportion of the gain
includable in federal adjusted
gross income:
At least four years, but
less than five years twenty-five percent
At least five years, but
less than six years fifty percent
At least six years one hundred percent
3. Where, within six months of the realization of a new business
investment gain allowable as the basis of a modification under paragraph
two of this subsection, such modification is equal to less than one
hundred percent of the portion of the gain includable in federal
adjusted gross income and the taxpayer purchases a new business
investment which is then held for a period of at least six months, the
taxpayer may subtract from his federal adjusted gross income ten percent
(but not an amount that will reduce the portion of such gain included in
his New York income below zero) of the amount of such gain where the
purchase price of the new business investment is equal to or greater
than the proceeds of the sale giving rise to such gain. Where the
purchase price of the new business investment is less than an amount
equal to the proceeds of such sale, the modification allowable under
this paragraph shall be equal to ten percent of an amount equal to the
product of (A) the amount of the gain and (B) a fraction the numerator
of which is the purchase price of the new investment and the denominator
of which is an amount equal to the proceeds of such sale. The
modification allowable under this paragraph may be utilized, at the
option of the taxpayer, with respect to the taxable year in which the
new business investment gain is realized or the year containing the last
day of the six-month retention period described in this paragraph.
4. The state tax commission may prescribe such rules and regulations
as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this subdivision.
(p) New business investment deferral. For taxable years beginning
before January first, nineteen hundred eighty-eight, at the option of
the taxpayer, there may be subtracted from federal adjusted gross income
a reinvested amount of long-term capital gain realized in a taxable year
from the sale of a capital asset, as such term is defined in section
1221 of the internal revenue code, which is not a new business
investment. A reinvested amount of long-term capital gain shall mean an
amount which bears the same ratio to the long-term capital gain realized
from the sale of a capital asset which was includable in New York
adjusted gross income as that portion of the sale proceeds which is
reinvested, within one year from date of sale, in a New York new
business bears to the total sale proceeds. For the purposes of this
subsection, a New York new business is a business enterprise which (1)
has been a taxpayer under this article for no more than three taxable
years (including short taxable years), (2) over fifty percent of the
number of shares of stock that entitle the holders thereof to vote for
the election of directors or trustees is not owned, directly or
indirectly, by a taxpayer subject to tax under section one hundred
eighty-three, one hundred eighty-four, one hundred eighty-five or one
hundred eighty-six of article nine of this chapter, or under article
nine-A, thirty-two or thirty-three of this chapter, (3) is not
substantially similar in operation or ownership, directly or indirectly,
to a business entity (or entities) taxable, or previously taxable, under
such sections, such articles, article twenty-three or which would have
been subject to tax under article twenty-three (as such article was in
effect on January first, nineteen hundred eighty) or the income (or
losses) of which is (or was) includable under article twenty-two whereby
the intent and purpose of this subsection would be evaded, (4) locates
and employs at least ninety percent of its assets in the state, (5)
employs principally in the state eighty percent of its employees (as
ascertained within the meaning and intent of subparagraph three of
paragraph (a) of subdivision three of section two hundred ten of this
chapter and, in addition, in the case of a partnership, excluding
partners), (6) derives less than forty percent of its gross income from
dividends, interest, royalties (other than mineral, oil, or gas
royalties or copyright royalties), and annuities and (7) reports at
least twenty-five hundred dollars in gross income in any taxable year.
The reinvested amount must qualify as a capital asset as defined in
section 1221 of the internal revenue code and must be retained by the
taxpayer for at least twelve months. The modification allowable under
this subsection shall be utilized with respect to the taxable year in
which the twelve month retention period ends. The commissioner of
taxation and finance may require annual information reports on the
investments in new businesses made pursuant to this subsection, and such
other reports as he may require to ensure against the evasion of the
intent and purposes of this subsection.
(q) An amount deferred under subsection (p) hereof shall be added to
federal adjusted gross income when the reinvestment in the New York new
business which qualified a taxpayer for such deferral is sold.
(r) Related members expense add back. (1) Definitions. (A) Related
member. "Related member" means a related person as defined in
subparagraph (c) of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four
hundred sixty-five of the internal revenue code, except that "fifty
percent" shall be substituted for "ten percent".
(B) Effective rate of tax. "Effective rate of tax" means, as to any
state or U.S. possession, the maximum statutory rate of tax imposed by
the state or possession on or measured by a related member's net income
multiplied by the apportionment percentage, if any, applicable to the
related member under the laws of said jurisdiction. For purposes of this
definition, the effective rate of tax as to any state or U.S. possession
is zero where the related member's net income tax liability in said
jurisdiction is reported on a combined or consolidated return including
both the taxpayer and the related member where the reported transactions
between the taxpayer and the related member are eliminated or offset.
Also, for purposes of this definition, when computing the effective rate
of tax for a jurisdiction in which a related member's net income is
eliminated or offset by a credit or similar adjustment that is dependent
upon the related member either maintaining or managing intangible
property or collecting interest income in that jurisdiction, the maximum
statutory rate of tax imposed by said jurisdiction shall be decreased to
reflect the statutory rate of tax that applies to the related member as
effectively reduced by such credit or similar adjustment.
(C) Royalty payments. Royalty payments are payments directly connected
to the acquisition, use, maintenance or management, ownership, sale,
exchange, or any other disposition of licenses, trademarks, copyrights,
trade names, trade dress, service marks, mask works, trade secrets,
patents and any other similar types of intangible assets as determined
by the commissioner, and include amounts allowable as interest
deductions under section one hundred sixty-three of the internal revenue
code to the extent such amounts are directly or indirectly for, related
to or in connection with the acquisition, use, maintenance or
management, ownership, sale, exchange or disposition of such intangible
assets.
(D) Valid business purpose. A valid business purpose is one or more
business purposes, other than the avoidance or reduction of taxation,
which alone or in combination constitute the primary motivation for some
business activity or transaction, which activity or transaction changes
in a meaningful way, apart from tax effects, the economic position of
the taxpayer. The economic position of the taxpayer includes an increase
in the market share of the taxpayer, or the entry by the taxpayer into
new business markets.
(2) Royalty expense add backs. (A) For the purpose of computing New
York adjusted gross income, a taxpayer must add back royalty payments
directly or indirectly paid, accrued, or incurred in connection with one
or more direct or indirect transactions with one or more related members
during the taxable year to the extent deductible in calculating federal
taxable income.
(B) Exceptions. (i) The adjustment required in this subsection shall
not apply to the portion of the royalty payment that the taxpayer
establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and in the
form specified by the commissioner, meets all of the following
requirements: (I) the related member was subject to tax in this state or
another state or possession of the United States or a foreign nation or
some combination thereof on a tax base that included the royalty payment
paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; (II) the related member
during the same taxable year directly or indirectly paid, accrued or
incurred such portion to a person that is not a related member; and
(III) the transaction giving rise to the royalty payment between the
taxpayer and the related member was undertaken for a valid business
purpose.
(ii) The adjustment required in this subsection shall not apply if the
taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type and
in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the related member
was subject to tax on or measured by its net income in this state or
another state or possession of the United States or some combination
thereof; (II) the tax base for said tax included the royalty payment
paid, accrued or incurred by the taxpayer; and (III) the aggregate
effective rate of tax applied to the related member in those
jurisdictions is no less than eighty percent of the statutory rate of
tax that applied to the taxpayer under section six hundred one of this
article for the taxable year.
(iii) The adjustment required in this subsection shall not apply if
the taxpayer establishes, by clear and convincing evidence of the type
and in the form specified by the commissioner, that: (I) the royalty
payment was paid, accrued or incurred to a related member organized
under the laws of a country other than the United States; (II) the
related member's income from the transaction was subject to a
comprehensive income tax treaty between such country and the United
States; (III) the related member was subject to tax in a foreign nation
on a tax base that included the royalty payment paid, accrued or
incurred by the taxpayer; (IV) the related member's income from the
transaction was taxed in such country at an effective tax rate at least
equal to that imposed by this state; and (V) the royalty payment was
paid, accrued or incurred pursuant to a transaction that was undertaken
for a valid business purpose and using terms that reflect an arm's
length relationship.
(iv) The adjustment required in this subsection shall not apply if the
taxpayer and the commissioner agree in writing to the application or use
of alternative adjustments or computations. The commissioner may, in his
or her discretion, agree to the application or use of alternative
adjustments or computations when he or she concludes that in the absence
of such agreement the income of the taxpayer would not be properly
reflected.
(s) New York S termination year. (1) General. In the case of a New
York S termination year, the amount of any item of S corporation income,
loss and deduction included in the shareholder's federal adjusted gross
income and any reductions for taxes (as described in paragraphs two and
three of subsection (f) of section thirteen hundred sixty-six of the
internal revenue code) shall be adjusted in accordance with the
treatment provided in paragraph two or three of this subsection.
(2) Pro rata allocation. Unless paragraph three of this subsection
applies, an equal portion of each S corporation item shall be assigned
to each day of the S corporation's taxable year for federal income tax
purposes. The portion of each such item thereby assigned to the S short
year shall be treated as an item of a New York S corporation, and the
portion of each such item thereby assigned to the C short year shall be
treated as an item of an S corporation which is a New York C
corporation.
(3) Normal tax accounting. The portion of each S corporation item
assigned to the S short year and the C short year shall be determined
using normal tax accounting rules if:
(A) there is a sale or exchange of fifty percent or more of the stock
in such corporation during the New York S termination year; or
(B) the corporation so elects, in the manner the commissioner may
provide. No election under this subparagraph shall be effective unless
all persons who are shareholders during the S short year and all persons
who are shareholders on the first day of the C short year consent to
such election.
(u) Emerging technology investment deferral. In the case of any sale
of a qualified emerging technologies investment held for more than
thirty-six months and with respect to which the taxpayer elects the
application of this subsection, gain from such sale shall be recognized
only to the extent that the amount realized on such sale exceeds the
cost of any qualified emerging technologies investment purchased by the
taxpayer during the three hundred sixty-five-day period beginning on the
date of such sale, reduced by any portion of such cost previously taken
into account under this subsection. For purposes of this subsection the
following shall apply:
(1) A qualified investment is stock of a corporation or an interest,
other than as a creditor, in a partnership or limited liability company
that was acquired by the taxpayer as provided in Internal Revenue Code §
1202(c)(1)(B), except that the reference to the term "stock" in such
section shall be read as "investment," or by the taxpayer from a person
who had acquired such stock or interest in such a manner.
(2) A qualified emerging technology investment is a qualified
investment, that was held by the taxpayer for at least thirty-six
months, in a company defined in paragraph (c) of subdivision one of
section thirty-one hundred two-e of the public authorities law or an
investment in a partnership or limited liability company that is taxed
as a partnership to the extent that such partnership or limited
liability company invests in qualified emerging technology companies.
(3) For purposes of determining whether the nonrecognition of gain
under this subsection applies to a qualified emerging technologies
investment that is sold, the taxpayer's holding period for such
investment and the qualified emerging technologies investment that is
purchased shall be determined without regard to Internal Revenue Code §
1223.
(v) Amounts deferred. The amount deferred under subsection (u) of this
section shall be added to federal adjusted gross income when the
reinvestment in the New York qualified emerging technology company which
qualified a taxpayer for such deferral is sold.

separate maintenance payments, the following modifications shall apply:

means payments made under an alimony or separation instrument (as

immediately prior to the enactment of Public Law 115-97) that was
executed after December thirty-first, two thousand eighteen, and any
divorce or separation instrument executed on or before such date and

of the internal revenue code immediately prior to the enactment of
Public Law 115-97.
