AB768-ASA1, s. 295 6Section 295. 71.365 (1m) of the statutes, as affected by 1997 Wisconsin Act 37,
7is amended to read:
AB768-ASA1,218,108 71.365 (1m) Tax-option corporations; depreciation. A tax-option corporation
9may compute amortization and depreciation under either the federal internal
10revenue code as amended to December 31, 1996, for property placed in service before
11August 6, 1997, or as amended to August 5, 1997, for property placed in service on
12August 6, 1997, or thereafter
1997, or the federal internal revenue code in effect for
13the taxable year for which the return is filed, except that property first placed in
14service by the taxpayer on or after January 1, 1983, but before January 1, 1987, that,
15under s. 71.04 (15) (b) and (br), 1985 stats., is required to be depreciated under the
16internal revenue code as amended to December 31, 1980, and property first placed
17in service in taxable year 1981 or thereafter but before January 1, 1987, that, under
18s. 71.04 (15) (bm), 1985 stats., is required to be depreciated under the internal
19revenue code as amended to December 31, 1980, shall continue to be depreciated
20under the internal revenue code as amended to December 31, 1980. Any difference
21between the adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes and the adjusted basis
22under this chapter shall be taken into account in determining net income or loss in
23the year or years for which the gain or loss is reportable under this chapter. If that
24property was placed in service by the taxpayer during taxable year 1986 and
25thereafter but before the property is used in the production of income subject to

1taxation under this chapter, the property's adjusted basis and the depreciation or
2other deduction schedule are not required to be changed from the amount allowable
3on the owner's federal income tax returns for any year because the property is used
4in the production of income subject to taxation under this chapter. If that property
5was acquired in a transaction in taxable year 1986 or thereafter in which the
6adjusted basis of the property in the hands of the transferee is the same as the
7adjusted basis of the property in the hands of the transferor, the Wisconsin adjusted
8basis of that property on the date of transfer is the adjusted basis allowable under
9the internal revenue code as defined for Wisconsin purposes for the property in the
10hands of the transferor.
