Purpose


Chapter 2009-18, L.O.F., and Chapter 2009-192, L.O.F., amend Section 220.13(1)(e), F.S., to require adjustments for the special 50 percent bonus depreciation, and section 179, I.R.C., expense in excess of $128,000. In addition, Chapter 2009-192, L.O.F., amends Section 220.13(1)(e), F.S., to address the deferral of cancellation of indebtedness income. These provisions were added to the Internal Revenue Code by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5, and the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, Public Law 110-185. The proposed amendments to Rule 12C-1.013, F.A.C. (Adjusted Federal Income Defined), are necessary to update the provisions for adjustments to federal income for Florida income tax purposes and to establish procedures for reporting the additions and claiming the subtractions required by Section 220.13(1)(e), F.S., and to provide procedures for filing amended Florida corporate income tax returns for the 2007 and 2008 tax years.
