 10.4   income in the taxable year for which the contributions were made 
 10.5   but were deducted or were not included in the computation of

 10.7   allocated first to return of contributions until the

 10.10  in a taxable year prior to 1985; 
 10.11     (5) income as provided under section 290.0802;

 10.23  subtraction under this clause must be reduced by the lesser of: 
 10.24     (i) the total itemized deductions allowed under section 
 10.25  63(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, less state, local, and 
 10.26  foreign income taxes deductible under section 164 of the
