Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1)
Assets acquired after September
				10, 2001, hut before May 6, 2003.
For tax periods ending after
				September 10, 2001, but beginning before May 6, 2003, the additional first-year
				depreciation allowance ("bonus depreciation") of 30 percent authorized in
				Section 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, as enacted by Public Law No.
				107-147, Section 101, does not apply for Iowa franchise tax. Taxpayers who
				claim the bonus depreciation on their federal income tax return must add the
				total amount of depreciation claimed on assets acquired after September 10,
				2001, but before May 6, 2003, and subtract the amount of depreciation taken on
				such property using the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS)
				depreciation method applicable under Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code
				without regard to Section 168(k).
If any such property was sold or disposed of during the tax
				  year, the applicable depreciation catch-up adjustment must be made to adjust
				  the basis of the property for Iowa tax purposes. The gain or loss reported on
				  the sale or disposition of these assets for federal tax purposes must be
				  adjusted for Iowa tax purposes to account for the adjusted basis of
				  assets.
The adjustment for both depreciation and the gain or loss on
				  the sale of qualifying assets acquired after September 10, 2001, but before May
				  6, 2003, can be calculated on Form lA 4562A.
See 701-subrule 53.22(1) for examples illustrating how this
				  subrule is applied.

Assets acquired after May 5, 2003, but before January 1, 2005.
For tax periods beginning after May 5,2003, but beginning before January
				1,2005, the bonus depreciation of 50 percent authorized in Section 168(k) of
				the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by Public Law No. 108-27, Section 201,
				may be taken for Iowa franchise tax. If the taxpayer elects to take the 50
				percent bonus depreciation, the depreciation deduction allowed on the Iowa
				franchise tax return is the same as the depreciation deduction allowed on the
				federal income tax return for assets acquired after May 5, 2003, but before
				January 1, 2005.
a. If the taxpayer elects to
				take the 50 percent bonus depreciation and had filed an Iowa return prior to
				February 24, 2005, which reflected the disallowance of 50 percent bonus
				depreciation, the taxpayer may choose between two options to reflect this
				change. Taxpayer may either file an amended return for the applicable tax year
				to reflect the 50 percent bonus depreciation provision, or taxpayer may reflect
				the change for 50 percent bonus depreciation on the next Iowa return filed
				subsequent to February 23, 2005. Taxpayer must choose only one of these two
				options. Regardless of the option chosen, taxpayer must complete and attach a
				revised Form lA 4562A to either the amended return or the return filed
				subsequent to February 23, 2005.
See 701-subrule 40.60(2), paragraph
"a, "
for
				  examples illustrating how this subrule is applied.
b. If the taxpayer elects not to take the 50
				percent bonus depreciation, taxpayer must add the total amount of depreciation
				claimed on assets acquired after May 5, 2003, but before January 1, 2005, and
				subtract the amount of depreciation taken on such property using the modified
				accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) depreciation method applicable under
				Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code without regard to Section 168(k). If
				any such property was sold or disposed of during the tax year, the applicable
				depreciation catch-up adjustment must be made to adjust the basis of the
				property for Iowa tax purposes. The gain or loss reported on the sale or
				disposition of these assets for federal tax purposes must be adjusted for Iowa
				tax purposes to account for the adjusted basis of assets. The adjustment for
				both depreciation and the gain or loss on the sale of qualifying assets
				acquired after May 5, 2003, but before January 1, 2005, can be calculated on
				Form lA 4562A.
