1 Tax Legislative Update Breaking news from Capitol Hill from Grant Thornton s Washington National Tax Office July Senate tax writers approve 2-year extension of expired provisions The Senate Finance Committee approved tax legislation on July 21 that would generally extend the 50-plus popular tax provisions that expired at the end of 2014 retroactively from Jan. 1, 2015, through the end of The bill would also enhance many of the provisions, such as the R&D credit, but includes $1.8 billion in revenue-raising provisions. The House and Senate are expected to begin negotiating a compromise on the expired provisions after returning from the August recess in September. The House has not moved any legislation to extend all the provisions temporarily, but has instead voted to make just eight provisions permanent. Republican leaders hope to resurrect a failed deal from late last year that would make a handful of provisions permanent and extend the rest for two years. The eight provisions the House voted to make permanent are the following: Alternative simplified research credit at an increased rate of 20% Increased Section 179 expensing limits Reduced five-year holding period for S corporation built-in-gains tax Election to deduct state and local sales tax Tax-free individual retirement account distributions for taxpayers 70½ years and older Increased percentage limits and extended carryforward periods for charitable contributions of conservation easements and capital gain property (with enhancements for Alaska native corporations) Enhanced charitable deduction for contributions of food inventory S corporation basis reduction limit for charitable gifts Contacts Mel Schwarz Partner, Washington National Tax Office T E mel.schwarz@us.gt.com Dustin Stamper Director, Washington National Tax Office T E dustin.stamper@us.gt.com Shamik Trivedi Manager, Washington National Tax Office T E shamik.trivedi@us.gt.com grantthornton.com/tax The House R&D credit bill would also allow private companies with less than $50 million in gross receipts to take the credit against the alternative minimum tax (AMT). The Senate version would allow businesses less than five years old with less than $5 million in annual gross receipts to take the credit against AMT and up to $250,000 of the credit against their payroll taxes.
2 The House has not proposed any revenue-raising provisions, but the Senate legislation would use offsets to cover enhancements to some of the extenders. The Senate bill would raise $1.8 billion by doing the following: Excluding clean coal power grants from income for noncorporate taxpayers and instead requiring a 1.18% payment to the government Expanding mortgage interest reporting beginning in 2017 to include loan origination date, outstanding principal and the address of the property Pegging the excise tax and alternative credit rates for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to their energy equivalents of gasoline and diesel, resulting in the following: o LNG excise tax rate cut from 24.3 cents per gallon to 14.1 cents and a cut in the credit rate from 50 cents per gallon to 29 cents o LPG (propane) excise rate cut from 18.3 cents per gallon to 13.2 cents and credit rate cut from 50 cents per gallon to 36 cents The expansion of mortgage interest reporting and the cuts in the alternative excise tax rates are also included in two draft highway funding bills Congress is currently considering. Taxpayers who use LNG and LPG for off-highway purposes would be hit particularly hard by the cut in the alternative fuel credit rates because they would not benefit from the corresponding cut in the excise tax rate. Lawmakers stand a reasonable chance of reaching agreement on a deal to make several provisions permanent and extend the rest for two years. Democrats and Republicans came close to a similar agreement last December, but it fell apart after the administration objected that it did not extend enhancements to the earned income and child credit that are scheduled to expire at the end of If such a deal proves impossible, lawmakers should be able to agree on at least a two-year retroactive extension of nearly all the provisions, with a one-year extension as an absolute fallback. As in past years, negotiations could drag into December. The following table compares how the expired tax provisions would be treated under the Senate markup and the House bills. The Senate Finance Committee s enhancements to certain provisions may be the least likely to be included in a final deal. Many similar changes were proposed last year but were excluded in the one-year extension ultimately enacted. Provision Senate Finance Committee markup House action Individual tax provisions Itemized deduction for state and local sales taxes H.R. 622 would make permanent April 15 Above-the-line deduction for qualified tuition Above-the-line deduction of $250 for teacher classroom expenses Extends and indexes for inflation for 2015 and 2016, and makes professional development expenses eligible

For businesses less than five years old with less than $5 million in annual gross receipts, the chairman s mark would allow individual research credits to offset alternative minimum tax and make up to $250,000 of credit refundable against payroll taxes. H.R. 880 was passed by the House on May 20 and would allow the traditional credit to expire but make the alternative simplified, basic research, and energy research credits permanent at a 20% rate. It would also all allow private companies with less than $50 million in gross receipts to take the credit against AMT. Qualified small business stock New markets tax credit Reduced five-year holding period for S corporation built-in gains for dispositions Work opportunity tax credit with an increased allocation of $3.94 billion in 2015 and 2016, and extends carryover period through 2021, and the chairman s mark adds a new category of eligible workers for those who have exhausted unemployment benefits H.R. 636 would make permanent Feb. 13 CFC-related payment look-through rule Subpart F exemption for active-financing income Low-income housing credit minimum credit Exclusion of military housing allowance for income test for low-income housing credit Extends current 9% minimum rate through 2016 and establishes a 4% minimum rate for the acquisition of existing housing Indian employment tax credit Employer wage credit for active-duty employees RIC-qualified investment entity treatment under FIRPTA Interest and short-term capital gains related RIC dividends, and the chairman s mark expands credit to all employers and increases rate to 100% Conservation contributions of capital gain real estate H.R. 644 would make permanent and enhance the deduction for Alaska native corporations.

It would also make computer software and HVAC units eligible and remove the restriction on revoking the election. It passed the House on Feb. 13. Three-year depreciation for racehorses Seven-year cost recovery for motor-sports entertainment complexes Expensing for advanced mine safety equipment Special expensing for film and television productions Energy tax provisions, and the chairman s mark expands eligibility to cover some smaller live theatrical productions Section 30B fuel cell vehicle Hybrid and alternative fuel vehicle credits under Section 30B would remain expired Section 30D plug-in electrical vehicle credit Credit for plug-in motorcycles that expired for 2014 is brought back for 2015 and 2016 Three-wheel vehicle credit would remain expired General plug-in vehicle credit, which will begin to phase out once 200,000 vehicles are sold, is unchanged Credit for production of Indian coal
