31       shall be refunded.
32             New Sec.  2. For all taxable years commencing after December 31,
33       1998, there shall be allowed as a credit against the tax liability imposed

  1       but shall not exceed $500 expended for all dependents in any taxable
  2       year. If the amount of such tax credit exceeds the individual's income tax
  3       liability for the appropriate taxable year, such excess amount shall be
  4       refunded.
  5             Sec.  3. K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 79-32,117 is hereby amended to read as
  6       follows: 79-32,117. (a) The Kansas adjusted gross income of an individual
  7       means such individual's federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year,
  8       with the modifications specified in this section.
  9             (b) There shall be added to federal adjusted gross income:
10             (i) Interest income less any related expenses directly incurred in the
11       purchase of state or political subdivision obligations, to the extent that
12       the same is not included in federal adjusted gross income, on obligations
13       of any state or political subdivision thereof, but to the extent that interest
14       income on obligations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued
15       prior to January 1, 1988, is specifically exempt from income tax under the
16       laws of this state authorizing the issuance of such obligations, it shall be
17       excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted gross income whether or
18       not included in federal adjusted gross income. Interest income on obli-
19       gations of this state or a political subdivision thereof issued after Decem-
20       ber 31, 1987, shall be excluded from computation of Kansas adjusted
21       gross income whether or not included in federal adjusted gross income.
22             (ii) Taxes on or measured by income or fees or payments in lieu of
23       income taxes imposed by this state or any other taxing jurisdiction to the
24       extent deductible in determining federal adjusted gross income and not
25       credited against federal income tax. This paragraph shall not apply to taxes
26       imposed under the provisions of K.S.A. 79-1107 or 79-1108, and amend-
27       ments thereto, for privilege tax year 1995, and all such years thereafter.
28             (iii) The federal net operating loss deduction.
29             (iv) Federal income tax refunds received by the taxpayer if the de-
30       duction of the taxes being refunded resulted in a tax benefit for Kansas
31       income tax purposes during a prior taxable year. Such refunds shall be
32       included in income in the year actually received regardless of the method
33       of accounting used by the taxpayer. For purposes hereof, a tax benefit
34       shall be deemed to have resulted if the amount of the tax had been de-
35       ducted in determining income subject to a Kansas income tax for a prior
36       year regardless of the rate of taxation applied in such prior year to the
37       Kansas taxable income, but only that portion of the refund shall be in-
38       cluded as bears the same proportion to the total refund received as the
39       federal taxes deducted in the year to which such refund is attributable
40       bears to the total federal income taxes paid for such year. For purposes
41       of the foregoing sentence, federal taxes shall be considered to have been
42       deducted only to the extent such deduction does not reduce Kansas tax-
43       able income below zero.
