pass-through entities (S-corporations, limited partnerships and limited

taxable net income.

through entities taxable as corporations as defined in KRS 141.010(24)(b) to
(h) shall be computed in a manner identical to that required for federal income
tax purposes except as otherwise provided in this administrative regulation.
Section 2. Treatment of certain
deductions for individual members, partners and shareholders of corporations
defined in Section 1.
(1) Individuals shall deduct their
distributive share of a corporation’s depreciation and expense deduction
allowed under Sections 168 and 179 of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 168
and 179, to compute Kentucky adjusted gross income.
(2) Individuals may deduct, subject to
the limitations of the Internal Revenue Code, their distributive share of
charitable contributions made by the corporation.
Section 3. This administrative regulation
shall apply to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2005. (32 Ky.R.
