Instructions for Oklahoma Add-Back of Bonus Depreciation
Due to passage of SB 1415 by the 2002 Oklahoma Legislature, corporations and fiduciaries filing income tax returns with the state of Oklahoma will have to add back 80% of any special bonus depreciation received under provisions of the federal Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002. Any amount added back can be reclaimed in a later year. Twenty-five percent may be subtracted in the first taxable year beginning after the bonus depreciation was added back and twenty-five percent in each of the next three taxable years.
Tax years affected. The add-back of the additional 30% federal depreciation deduction is for property placed in service after September 10, 2001, and before September 11, 2004. Any tax years including or between these dates may be affected.
Taxpayers who have not yet claimed the bonus depreciation. In all filings, claim both the bonus depreciation and include the required add-back. Attach a note of explanation and your calculation of the add-back. Also attach a copy of the portion of the federal return where the special deduction was claimed.
Taxpayers who have claimed the bonus depreciation. Oklahoma taxpayers who filed either an original return or an amended return using the new federal provisions must file amended returns with Oklahoma in order to add back a portion of the bonus depreciation pursuant to SB 1415. Amended returns filed by June 30, 2003 will not be subject to the penalties or interest on the additional tax due as a result of the add back.
Corporations. Eighty percent of bonus depreciation claimed on a federal income tax return must be entered on Oklahoma Form 512. A corporation filing Form 512, Schedule A, shall enter 80% of the bonus depreciation in Column B on line 10 "Other income". The amount of bonus depreciation added back for Oklahoma purposes shall be reclaimed in later taxable years in the following manner. Of the total amount of bonus depreciation, 25% shall be added back in the first taxable year beginning or deemed to begin the year after the bonus depreciation was added back and 25% in each of the next three following taxable years. Enter the 25% on Form 512, Schedule A, Column B, line 21 "depreciation". A corporation filing Form 512, Schedule B, shall enter 80% of the bonus depreciation on line 2 as an addition. The increased income shall then be apportioned to Oklahoma to determine the amount to be included in Oklahoma taxable income. The apportioned amount of bonus depreciation added to Oklahoma taxable income shall be reclaimed in later taxable years in the following manner. Of the apportioned amount of bonus depreciation added to Oklahoma taxable income, 25% may be subtracted in the first taxable year beginning or deemed to begin the year after the bonus depreciation was added back and 25% in each of the next three following taxable years. Enter the 25% on Form 512, Schedule B, line 6 as a deduction. If the original Oklahoma Form 512 has already been filed, report the increase on an Amended Oklahoma Corporate Income Tax Return, Form 512.
