    Subd. 20f.  [MODIFICATION FOR ACCELERATED COST RECOVERY 
SYSTEM.] A modification shall be made for the allowable 
deduction under the accelerated cost recovery system as provided

provided in clauses (1) and (2) do not apply.

made after the entire amount of the allowable deduction for that 
property under the provision of section 168 of the Internal 
Revenue Code has been obtained.  The remaining depreciable basis 
in those assets for Minnesota purposes shall be a depreciation 
allowance computed by using the straight line method over the 
following number of years:

    (b) 5 year property - 2 years.  
    (c) 10 year property - 5 years.

as provided in clause (4).  
    (6) The modifications provided in this subdivision shall 
apply before applying any limitation to out of state losses 
contained in section 290.17 or farm losses contained in section

    (7) After the entire amount of the allowable deduction for 
that property under the provisions of section 168 of the 
Internal Revenue Code has been obtained, the remaining 
depreciable basis in those assets for Minnesota purposes that 
shall be allowed as provided in clause (4) shall include the 
amount of any basis reduction made for federal purposes under

investment tax credit.  No amount shall be allowed as a 
deduction under section 196 of the Internal Revenue Code.  
    Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 290.05,

credit for the taxable year shall not exceed the liability for 
tax.  "Liability for tax" for purposes of this section means the 
tax imposed under this chapter for the taxable year reduced by 
the sum of the credits allowed under section 290.06, except the 
credit allowed under section 290.06, subdivision 13.

    the credit allowed for the taxable year shall not exceed 
the lesser of the amount determined under clause (1) for the 
taxable year or an amount (separately computed with respect to 
such person's interest in the trade or business or entity) equal 
to the amount of tax attributable to that portion of a person's 
taxable income which is allocable or apportionable to the 
person's interest in the trade or business or entity.  
     (b) If the amount of the credit determined under this 
section for any taxable year exceeds the limitation under clause 
(a), the excess shall be a research credit carryback to each of 
the three preceding taxable years and a research credit 
carryover to each of the 15 succeeding taxable years.  The 
entire amount of the excess unused credit for the taxable year 
shall be carried first to the earliest of the taxable years to 
which the credit may be carried and then to each successive year 
to which the credit may be carried.  The amount of the unused 
credit which may be added under this clause shall not exceed the 
taxpayer's liability for tax less the research credit for the 
taxable year.  
     For the purposes of sections 290.46 and 290.50, if the 
claim for refund relates to an overpayment attributable to a 
research and experimental expenditure credit carryback under 
this subdivision, in lieu of the period of limitation prescribed 
in sections 290.46 and 290.50, the period of limitation shall be 
that period which ends with the expiration of the 15th day of 
the 46th month, or the 45th month, in the case of a corporation, 
following the end of the taxable year in which the research and 
experimental expenditure credit arises which results in the 
carryback.  In any case in which a taxpayer is entitled to a 
refund in a carryback year due to the carryback of a research 
and experimental expenditure credit, interest shall be computed 
only from the end of the taxable year in which the credit arises.

party initiating the modification. Any change in the agreed rate 
and useful life specified in the agreement shall not be

notice in writing by certified mail is served by the party to 
the agreement initiating such change.  This clause shall not 
apply with respect to recovery property as defined in clause (c).
    (f) In the absence of an agreement under clause (e) 
containing a provision to the contrary, a taxpayer may at any 
time elect in accordance with regulations rules prescribed by 
the commissioner to change from the method of depreciation 
prescribed in clause (b)(2) to the method described in clause 
(b)(1).

raising or harvesting any agricultural or horticultural 
commodity, including the raising, shearing, feeding, caring for, 
training, and management of livestock, bees, poultry, and 
fur-bearing animals and wildlife, and all operations incident 
thereto, including but not limited to the common use of 
"hedging."

amended to read: 
    290.091 [MINIMUM TAX ON PREFERENCE ITEMS.] 
    In addition to all other taxes imposed by this chapter 
there is hereby imposed, a tax which, in the case of a resident 
individual, shall be equal to 40 percent of the amount of the 
taxpayer's minimum tax liability for tax preference items 
pursuant to the provisions of sections 55 to 58 and 443(d) of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 as amended through December 
31, 1981 January 15, 1983.  For purposes of the tax imposed by 
this section, the following modifications shall be made:  
    (1) Capital gain as defined in section 57(a) of the 
Internal Revenue Code shall not include that portion of any gain 
occasioned by sale, transfer or the granting of a perpetual 
easement pursuant to any eminent domain proceeding or threat 
thereof as described in section 290.13, subdivision 5.  This 
modification shall apply to the years in which the gain or 
reduction in loss is actually included in federal adjusted gross 
income even though amounts received pursuant to the eminent 
domain proceedings were received in prior years.  
    (2) In the case of a corporate taxpayer, percentage 
depletion shall not be a preference item.  
    (3) In the case of a corporate taxpayer, the capital gain 
preference item shall not include the timber preference income 
defined in section 57(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.  
    (4) The preference item of reserves for losses on bad debts 
shall not include reserves allowable under section 593 of the 
Internal Revenue Code, but which are not allowable under section 
290.09, subdivision 6, clause (c).  
    (5) In the case of an individual, the preference item of 
adjusted itemized deductions does not include any deduction for 
charitable contributions in excess of the limitations contained 
in section 290.21, subdivision 3, including any carryover amount 
allowed for federal purposes alternative tax itemized deductions 
shall include the amount allowable as a deduction for the 
taxable year under section 164 of the Internal Revenue Code for 
Minnesota income tax paid or accrued.  
    (6) The capital gain preference item shall be reduced where 
the gain would be modified because some or all of the assets 
have a higher basis for Minnesota purposes than for federal 
purposes.  
    (7) In the case of a nonresident individual, or an estate 
or trust, with a net operating loss that is a larger amount for 
Minnesota than for federal, the capital gain preference item 
shall be reduced to the extent it was reduced in the allowance 
of the net operating loss.

occupation tax and exempt from taxation under section 290.05, 
subdivision 1, shall not be a preference item for Minnesota.  
    (9) In the case of a corporate taxpayer, amortization of 
certified pollution control facilities, shall not be a 
preference item.  
    In the case of a resident individual, having preference 
items which could not be taken to reduce income from sources 
outside the state pursuant to section 290.17, subdivision 1, or 
any other taxpayer the tax shall equal 40 percent of that 
federal liability, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of 
which is the amount of the taxpayer's preference item income 
allocated to this state pursuant to the provisions of sections 
290.17 to 290.20, and the denominator of which is the taxpayer's 
total preference item income for federal purposes.  
    The tax benefit rule contained in section 58(h) of the 
Internal Revenue Code is applied to the Minnesota minimum tax 
only to the extent that it determines if there is a federal 
minimum tax.  No separate tax benefit rule is allowable for the 
Minnesota minimum tax.  
    For property placed in service after December 31, 1980, the 
preference items contained in section 57 (a)(12) of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1954, as amended through December 31, 1981 
January 15, 1983, shall not apply.  
    Sec. 14.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 290.10, is 
amended to read: 
    290.10 [NONDEDUCTIBLE ITEMS.] 
    In computing the net income no deduction shall in any case 
be allowed for:

such cash as his, or as belonging to another person whose 
identity the commissioner can readily ascertain and who 
acknowledges ownership of such cash, then, for purposes of 
subdivisions 3 and 4, it shall be presumed that the cash 
represents gross income of a single individual for the taxable 
year in which the possession occurs, and that the collection of 
tax will be jeopardized by delay.  
    (b) In the case of any assessment resulting from the 
application of clause (a), the entire amount of the cash shall 
be treated as taxable income for the taxable year in which the 
possession occurs, such income shall be treated as taxable at an

original assessment.

    A civil action in the name of the state of Minnesota to 
enjoin any person from further engaging in conduct subject to 
penalty under section 28 (relating to penalty for promoting 
abusive tax shelter), may be commenced at the request of the 
commissioner.  Any action under this section shall be brought by

to penalty under section 28, or in the district court for Ramsey 
county.  The court may exercise its jurisdiction over the action 
separate and apart from any other action brought by the state of 
Minnesota against the person.  
    If the court finds that the person has engaged in any 
conduct subject to penalty under section 28 (relating to penalty 
for promoting abusive tax shelters), and that injunctive relief 
is appropriate to prevent recurrence of the conduct, the court 
may enjoin the person from engaging in the conduct or in any 
other activity subject to penalty under section 28.

percent if the failure is for not more than 30 days with an 
additional five percent for each additional 30 days or fraction 
thereof during which such failure continues, not exceeding 25 
percent in the aggregate.

the return (determined with regard to any extensions of time for 
filing), the amount added to the tax under this subdivision 
shall not be less than the lesser of $50 or 100 percent of the 
amount required to be shown as tax on the return.  
     The amount so added to any tax shall be collected at the 
same time and in the same manner and as a part of the tax, and 
the amount of said tax together with the amount so added shall 
bear interest at the rate specified in section 270.75 from the 
time such tax should have been paid until paid unless the tax 
has been paid before the discovery of the neglect, in which case 
the amount so added shall be collected in the same manner as the 
tax. 
    For the purposes of this subdivision the amount of any 
taxes required to be shown on the return shall be reduced by the 
amount of any part of the tax which is paid on or before the 
date prescribed for payment of the tax and by the amount of any 
credit against the tax which may be claimed upon the return. 
    Sec. 28.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 290.53, is

or plan or arrangement referred to in clause (1), and 
    (b) makes or furnishes (in connection with the organization 
or sale) a statement with respect to the allowability of any 
deduction or credit, the excludability of any income, or the 
securing of any other tax benefit by reason of holding an 
interest in the entity or participating in the plan or 
arrangement which the person knows or has reason to know is 
false or fraudulent as to any material matter, 
    shall pay a penalty equal to the greater of $1,000 or ten 
percent of the gross income derived or to be derived by the 
person from the activity.  
     The penalty imposed by this subdivision is in addition to 
any other penalty provided by this section.  The penalty shall 
be collected in the same manner as any delinquent income tax. In 
any proceeding involving the issue of whether or not any person 
is liable for this penalty, the burden of proof shall be upon

individual files what purports to be an income tax return 
required by this chapter, but which does not contain information 
on which the substantial correctness of the self-assessment may 
be judged, or contains information that on its face indicates 
that the self-assessment is substantially incorrect; and the 
conduct is due to a position which is frivolous, or a desire 
(which appears on the purported return) to delay or impede the 
administration of Minnesota income tax laws, then the individual 
shall pay a penalty of $500.  The penalty imposed by this 
subdivision shall be in addition to any other penalty provided 
by this section.  The penalty shall be collected in the same 
manner as any delinquent income tax.  In any proceeding 
involving the issue of whether or not any person is liable for 
this penalty, the burden of proof shall be upon the commissioner.

withhold from an employee a tax under subdivision 2a or 
subdivision 3, or who would have been required to deduct and

without regard to subdivision 19, if the employee had claimed no 
more than one withholding exemption, or who paid wages not 
subject to withholding under subdivision 2a or 3 to an employee 
in excess of $600, or who has entered into a voluntary 
withholding agreement with a payee pursuant to subdivision 20, 
shall furnish to each such employee in respect to the 
remuneration paid by such person to such employee during the 
calendar year, on or before January 31 of the succeeding year,

providing for reasonable extensions of time, not in excess of 30 
days, to employers or payers required to furnish such statements 
to their employees or payees under this subdivision. 
    (4) A duplicate of any statement made pursuant to this 
subdivision and in accordance with rules prescribed by the 
commissioner, along with a reconciliation in such form as the 
commissioner may prescribe of all such statements for the 
calendar year (including a reconciliation of the quarterly 
returns required to be filed pursuant to subdivision 6), shall

    Subd. 13.  [REFUNDS.] (1) Where the amount of the tax 
withheld at the source under subdivision 2a or subdivision 3 
exceeds by $1 or more the taxes (and any added penalties and 
interest) reported in the return of the employee taxpayer or 
imposed upon him by this chapter, the amount of such excess 
shall be refunded to the employee taxpayer.  If the amount of 
such excess is less than $1 the commissioner shall not be 
required to refund that amount.  Where any amount of such excess 
to be refunded exceeds $10, such amount on the original return 
shall bear interest at the rate of six percent per annum, 
computed from 90 days after (a) the due date of the return of 
the employee taxpayer or (b) the date on which his return is 
filed, whichever is later, to the date the refund is paid to the 
taxpayer.  A return shall not be treated as filed until it is in 
processible form.  A return is in processible form when it is 
filed on a permitted form containing the taxpayer's name, 
address, social security account number, the required signature, 
and sufficient required information (whether on the return or on 
required attachments) to permit the mathematical verification of 
tax liability shown on the return.  Notwithstanding the 
provisions of section 290.50, written findings by the 
commissioner, notice by mail to the taxpayer, and certificate 
for refundment by the commissioner, shall not be necessary.  The 
provisions of section 270.10, shall not be applicable. 
    (2) Any action of the commissioner in refunding the amount 
of such excess shall not constitute a determination of the 
correctness of the return of the employee taxpayer within the 
purview of section 290.46. 
    (3) The commissioner of finance shall cause any such refund 
of tax and interest, to be paid out of the general fund in 
accordance with the provisions of section 290.62, and so much of 
said fund as may be necessary is hereby appropriated for that 
purpose.  
    Sec. 32.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 290.92,

    Subd. 15.  [PENALTIES.] (1) If any tax required to be 
deducted and withheld under subdivision 2a or subdivision 3, or 
any portion thereof, is not paid to or deposited with the 
commissioner within the time specified in subdivision 6 for the 
payment thereof, there shall be added thereto a penalty equal to 
ten percent of the amount so remaining unpaid.  Such penalty 
shall be collected as part of said tax, and the amount of said 
tax not timely paid, together with said penalty, shall bear 
interest at the rate specified in section 270.75 from the time 
such tax should have been paid or deposited until paid.  Where 
an extension of time for payment has been granted under the 
provisions of subdivision 6, interest shall be paid at the rate 
specified in section 270.75 from the date when such payment or 
deposit should have been made if no extension had been granted, 
until such tax is paid.  If payment is not made at the 
expiration of the extended period the penalties provided in this 
subdivision shall apply.  
    (2) In the case of any failure to withhold a tax on wages, 
make and file quarterly returns or make payments to or deposits 
with the commissioner of amounts withheld, as required by this 
section, within the time prescribed by law, there shall be added 
to the tax in lieu of the penalty provided in paragraph (1) a 
penalty equal to ten percent of the amount of tax that should 
have been properly withheld and paid over to or deposited with 
the commissioner if the failure is for not more than 30 days 
with an additional five percent for each additional 30 days or 
fraction thereof during which such failure continues, not 
exceeding 25 percent in the aggregate.  The amount of the tax 
together with this amount shall bear interest at the rate 
specified in section 270.75 from the time the tax should have 
been paid until paid.  The amount so added to the tax shall be 
collected at the same time and in the same manner and as a part 
of the tax unless the tax has been paid before the discovery of 
the negligence, in which case the amount so added shall be 
collected in the same manner as the tax. 
    (3) (2) If any employer required to withhold a tax on 
wages, make deposits, make and file quarterly returns and make 
payments to the commissioner of amounts withheld, as required by 
sections 290.92 to 290.97, willfully fails to withhold such a 
tax or make such deposits, files a false or fraudulent return, 
willfully fails to make such a payment or deposit, or willfully 
attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any such tax or the 
payment or deposit thereof, there shall also be imposed on such 
employer as a penalty an amount equal to 50 percent of the 
amount of tax (less any amount paid or deposited by such 
employer on the basis of such false or fraudulent return or 
deposit) that should have been properly withheld and paid over 
or deposited with the commissioner.  The amount of the tax 
together with this amount shall bear interest at the rate 
specified in section 270.75 from the time the tax should have 
been paid until paid.  The penalty imposed by this paragraph 
shall be collected as a part of the tax, and shall be in 
addition to any other penalties civil and criminal, prescribed 
by this subdivision. 
    (4) (3) If any person required under the provisions of 
subdivision 7 to furnish a statement to an employee or payee and 
a duplicate statement to the commissioner, or to furnish a 
reconciliation of such statements (and quarterly returns) to the 
commissioner, willfully furnishes a false or fraudulent 
statement to an employee or payee or a false or fraudulent 
duplicate statement or reconciliation of statements (and 
quarterly returns) to the commissioner, or willfully fails to 
furnish a statement or such reconciliation in the manner, at the 
time, and showing the information required by the provisions of 
subdivision 7, or regulations rules prescribed by the 
commissioner thereunder, there shall be imposed on such a person 
a penalty of $10 $50 for each such act or failure to act, but 
the total amount imposed on the delinquent person for all such 
failures during any calendar year shall not exceed $25,000.  The 
penalty imposed by this paragraph shall become due and payable 
within ten days after the mailing of a written demand therefor, 
and may be collected in the manner prescribed in subdivision 
6(8). 
    (5) (4) In addition to the penalties hereinbefore 
prescribed, any person required to withhold a tax on wages, make 
and file quarterly returns and make payments or deposits to the 
commissioner of amounts withheld, as required by this section, 
who willfully fails to withhold such a tax or truthfully make 
and file such a quarterly return or make such a payment or 
deposit, shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 
    (6) (5) In lieu of any other penalty provided by law, 
except the penalty provided by paragraph (4) (3), any person 
required under the provisions of subdivision 7 to furnish a 
statement of wages to an employee and a duplicate statement to 
the commissioner, who willfully furnishes a false or fraudulent 
statement of wages to an employee or a false or fraudulent 
duplicate statement of wages to the commissioner, or who 
willfully fails to furnish such a statement in the manner, at 
the time, and showing the information required by the provisions 
of subdivision 7, or regulations rules prescribed by the 
commissioner thereunder, shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor. 
    (7) (6) Any employee required to supply information to his 
employer under the provisions of subdivision 5, who willfully 
fails to supply information thereunder which would require an 
increase in the tax to be deducted and withheld under 
subdivision 2a or subdivision 3, shall be guilty of a 
misdemeanor. 
    (8) (7) The term "person," as used in this section, 
includes an officer or employee of a corporation, or a member or 
employee of a partnership, who as such officer, employee, or 
member is under a duty to perform the act in respect of which 
the violation occurs. 
    (9) (8) All payments received may, in the discretion of the 
commissioner of revenue, be credited first to the oldest 
liability not secured by a judgment or lien, but in all cases 
shall be credited first to penalties, next to interest, and then 
to the tax due. 
    (10) (9) In addition to any other penalty provided by law, 
any employee who furnishes a withholding exemption certificate 
to his employer which the employee has reason to know contains a 
materially incorrect statement shall be liable to the 
commissioner of revenue for a penalty of $500 for each 
instance.  The penalty shall be immediately due and payable and 
may be collected in the same manner as any delinquent income tax.
    (11) (10) In addition to any other penalty provided by law, 
any employer who fails to submit a copy of a withholding 
exemption certificate required by section 26 subdivision 5a, 
clause (1)(a), (1)(b), or (2) shall be liable to the 
commissioner of revenue for a penalty of $50 for each instance.  
The penalty shall be immediately due and payable and may be

    Sec. 33.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 290.92, is 
amended by adding a subdivision to read:  
    Subd. 26.  [EXTENSION OF WITHHOLDING TO CERTAIN PAYMENTS 
WHERE IDENTIFYING NUMBER NOT FURNISHED OR INACCURATE.] (a) If, 
in the case of any backup withholding payment, (1) the payee 
fails to furnish his social security account number to the 
payor, or (2) the commissioner notifies the payor that the 
number furnished by the payee is incorrect, then the payor shall 
deduct and withhold from the payment a tax equal to five percent 
of the payment.  
    (b) (1) In the case of any failure described in clause (a) 
(1), clause (a) shall apply to any backup withholding payment 
made during the period during which the social security account 
number has not been furnished.  
    (2) In any case where there is a notification described in 
clause (a)(2), clause (a) shall apply to any backup withholding 
payment made (i) after the close of the 15th day after the day 
on which the payor was so notified, and (ii) before the payee 
furnishes another social security account number.  
    (3) Unless the payor otherwise elects, clause (a) shall 
also apply to any backup withholding payment made after the 
close of the period described in paragraph (1) or (2) (as the 
case may be).  
    If the payor so elects, clause (a) shall also apply to any 
backup withholding payment made during the 15-day period 
described in paragraph (2).  
    (c) The provisions of section 3402(s) of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1954, as amended through December 31, 1982, 
shall apply and shall govern when withholding shall be required 
and the definition of terms.  The term "backup withholding 
payment" shall include only those payments for personal 
services.  No tax shall be deducted or withheld under this 
subdivision with respect to any amount for which withholding is 
otherwise required under this section.  For purposes of this 
section, payments which are subject to withholding under this 
subdivision shall be treated as if they were wages paid by an 
employer to an employee.  
    (d) Whenever the commissioner notifies a payor under this 
subdivision that the social security account number furnished by 
any payee is incorrect, notwithstanding section 290.61, the 
commissioner shall at the same time furnish a copy of the notice 
to the payor, and the payor shall promptly furnish the copy to 
the payee.  If the commissioner notifies a payor under this 
subdivision that the social security account number furnished by 
any payee is incorrect and the payee subsequently furnishes 
another social security account number to the payor, the payor 
shall promptly notify the commissioner of the other social 
security account number furnished.  
    Sec. 34.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 290.93, 
subdivision 9, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 9.  [OVERPAYMENT OF ESTIMATED TAX.] (1) Where the 
amount of an installment payment of estimated tax exceeds the 
amount determined to be the correct amount of such installment 
payment, the overpayment shall be credited against the unpaid 
installments, if any.  Where the total amount of the estimated 
tax payments plus (a) the total amount of tax withheld at the 
source under section 290.92, subdivision 2a or subdivision 3 (if 
any) and (b) and other payments (if any) exceeds by $1 or more 
the taxes (and any added penalties and interest) reported in the 
return of the taxpayer or imposed upon him by this chapter, the 
amount of such excess shall be refunded to the taxpayer.  If the 
amount of such excess is less than $1 the commissioner shall not 
be required to refund that amount.  Where any amount of such 
excess to be refunded exceeds $10, such amount on the original 
return shall bear interest at the rate of six percent per annum, 
computed from 90 days after (a) the due date of the return of 
the taxpayer or (b) the date on which his return is filed, 
whichever is later, until the date the refund is paid to the 
taxpayer.  A return shall not be treated as filed until it is in 
processible form.  A return is in processible form when the 
return is filed on a permitted form, and the return contains the 
taxpayer's name, address, social security account number, the 
required signature, and sufficient required information (whether 
on the return or on required attachments) to permit the 
mathematical verification of tax liability shown on the return.  
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 290.50, written 
findings by the commissioner, notice by mail to the taxpayer, 
and certificate for refundment by the commissioner, shall not be 
necessary.  The provisions of section 270.10, shall not be 
applicable. 
     (2) Any action of the commissioner in refunding the amount 
of such excess shall not constitute a determination of the 
correctness of the return of the taxpayer within the purview of 
section 290.46. 
     (3) The commissioner of finance shall cause any such refund 
of tax and interest to be paid out of the general fund in 
accordance with the provisions of section 290.62, and so much of 
said fund as may be necessary is hereby appropriated for that 
purpose.  
    Sec. 35.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 290.93, 
subdivision 10, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 10.  [UNDERPAYMENT OF ESTIMATED TAX.] (1) In the case 
of any underpayment of estimated tax by an individual, except as 
provided in paragraph (4) or (5), there may be added to and 
become a part of the taxes imposed by this chapter, for the 
taxable year an amount determined at the rate specified in 
section 270.75 upon the amount of the underpayment for the 
period of the underpayment. 
     (2) For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the amount of 
underpayment shall be the excess of 
     (a) The amount of the installment which would be required 
to be paid if the estimated tax were equal to 80 percent (66 2/3 
percent in the case of farmers referred to in subdivision 5(2) 
of this section) of the taxes shown on the return for the 
taxable year or the taxes for such year if no return was filed, 
over 
     (b) The amount, if any, of the installment paid on or 
before the last day prescribed for such payment. 
     (3) The period of the underpayment shall run from the date 
the installment was required to be paid to whichever of the 
following dates is the earlier 
     (a) The 15th day of the fourth month following the close of 
the taxable year. 
     (b) With respect to any portion of the underpayment, the 
date on which such portion is paid.  For purposes of this 
subparagraph, a payment of estimated tax on any installment date 
shall be considered a payment of any previous underpayment only 
to the extent such payment exceeds the amount of the installment 
determined under paragraph (2) (a) for such installment date. 
     (4) The addition to the tax with respect to any 
underpayment of any installment shall not be imposed if the 
total amount of all payments of estimated tax made on or before 
the last date prescribed for the payment of such installment 
equals or exceeds the amount which would have been required to 
be paid on or before such date if the estimated tax were 
whichever of the following is the lesser 
     (a) The total tax liability shown on the return of the 
individual for the preceding taxable year (if a return showing a 
liability for such taxes was filed by the individual for the 
preceding taxable year of 12 months), or 
     (b) An amount equal to the tax computed, at the rates 
applicable to the taxable year, on the basis of the taxpayer's 
status with respect to the personal credits for the taxable 
year, but otherwise on the basis of the facts shown on his 
return for, and the law applicable to the preceding taxable 
year, or 
     (c) An amount equal to 80 percent (66 2/3 percent in the 
case of farmers referred to in subdivision 5(2) of this section) 
of the tax for the taxable year (after deducting personal 
credits) computed by placing on an annualized basis the taxable 
income for the months in the taxable year ending before the 
month in which the installment is required to be paid.  For 
purposes of this subparagraph, the taxable income shall be 
placed on an annualized basis by 
     (i) Multiplying by 12 (or in the case of a taxable year of 
less than 12 months, the number of months in the taxable year) 
the taxable income computed for the months in the taxable year 
ending before the month in which the installment is required to 
be paid. 
     (ii) Dividing the resulting amount by the number of months 
in the taxable year ending before the month in which such 
installment date falls, or 
    (d) An amount equal to 90 percent of the tax computed, at 
the rates applicable to the taxable year, on the basis of the 
actual taxable income for the months in the taxable year ending 
before the month in which the installment is required to be paid.
    (5) No addition to the tax shall be imposed under this 
subdivision for any taxable year if:  
    (a) the individual did not have any liability for tax for 
the preceding taxable year, 
    (b) the preceding taxable year was a taxable year of 12 
months, and 
    (c) the individual was a resident of Minnesota throughout 
the preceding taxable year.  
    (5) (6) For the purposes of applying this subdivision, the 
estimated tax shall be computed without any reduction for the 
amount which the individual estimates as his credit under 
section 290.92, subdivision 12 (relating to tax withheld at 
source on wages), and the refundable credits contained in 
sections 290.06, subdivision 13, 290.067, and 290.501, and 
chapter 290A which are allowed against income tax liability, and 
the amount of such credits for the taxable year shall be deemed 
a payment of estimated tax, and an equal part of such amounts 
shall be deemed paid on each installment date (determined under 
subdivisions 6 and 7 of this section) for such taxable year, 
unless the taxpayer establishes the dates on which all amounts 
were actually withheld, in which case the amounts so withheld 
shall be deemed payments of estimated tax on the dates on which 
such amounts were actually withheld. 
    Sec. 36.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 290.93, 
subdivision 11, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 11.  [FAILURE TO PAY.] Any individual required under 
this section to pay any estimated tax, who willfully fails to 
pay such estimated tax at the time or times required by law or 
regulations rules, shall, in addition to other penalties 
provided by law, be guilty of a gross misdemeanor.  This 
subdivision shall not apply to an individual with respect to the 
failure to pay estimated tax if there is no addition to the tax 
under this section with respect to the failure to pay estimated 
tax.  
    Sec. 37.  Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 290.934, 
subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 4.  [EXCEPTION.] (a) Notwithstanding the provisions 
of the preceding subdivisions, the addition to the tax with 
respect to any underpayment of any installment shall not be 
imposed if the total amount of all payments of estimated tax 
made on or before the last date prescribed for the payment of 
such installment equals or exceeds the amount which would have 
been required to be paid on or before such date if the estimated 
tax were whichever of the following is the lesser 
     (1) The tax shown on the return of the corporation for the 
preceding taxable year, if a return showing a liability for tax 
was filed by the corporation for the preceding taxable year and 
such preceding year was a taxable year of 12 months. 
     (2) An amount equal to the tax computed at the rates 
applicable to the taxable year but otherwise on the basis of the 
facts shown on the return of the corporation for, and the law 
applicable to, the preceding taxable year.  
     (3) (A) An amount equal to the tax for the taxable year 
computed by placing on an annualized basis the taxable income:  
     (i) for the first two months of the taxable year, in the 
case of the installment required to be paid in the third month, 
    (ii) for the first two months or for the first five months 
of the taxable year, in the case of the installment required to 
be paid in the sixth month, 
    (iii) for the first six months or for the first eight 
months of the taxable year in the case of the installment 
required to be paid in the ninth month, and 
    (iv) for the first nine months or for the first 11 months 
of the taxable year, in the case of the installment required to 
be paid in the 12th month of the taxable year.  
    (B) For purposes of this paragraph, the taxable income 
shall be placed on an annualized basis by 
    (i) multiplying by 12 the taxable income referred to in 
subparagraph (A), and 
    (ii) dividing the resulting amount by the number of months 
in the taxable year (2, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 11, as the case may be) 
referred to in clause (A).  
    (4) (A) If this paragraph is applicable, the amount 
determined for any installment shall be determined in the 
following manner:  
    (i) take the taxable income for all months during the 
taxable year preceding the filing month, 
    (ii) divide that amount by the base period percentage for 
all months during the taxable year preceding the filing month, 
    (iii) determine the tax on the amount determined under item 
(ii), and 
    (iv) multiply the tax computed under item (iii) by the base 
period percentage for the filing month and all months during the 
taxable year preceding the filing month.  
    (B) For purposes of this paragraph:  
    (i) The "base period percentage" for any period of months 
shall be the average percent which the taxable income for the 
corresponding months in each of the three preceding taxable 
years bears to the taxable income for the three preceding 
taxable years.  
    (ii) The term "filing month" means the month in which the 
installment is required to be paid.  
    (iii) This paragraph shall only apply if the base period 
percentage for any six consecutive months of the taxable year 
equals or exceeds 70 percent.  
     (iv) The commissioner may by rules provide for the 
determination of the base period percentage in the case of 
reorganizations, new corporations, and other similar 
circumstances.  
    (b) Notwithstanding clause (a) (1) and (2), in the case of 
a large corporation, the addition to the tax with respect to any 
underpayment of any installment shall be imposed if the total 
amount of all payments of estimated tax made on or before the 
last date prescribed for the payment of the installment is less 
than the amount required to be paid on or before the date.  The 
amount required to be paid as estimated tax for the taxable year 
shall in no event be less than the applicable percentage of (A) 
the tax shown on the return for the taxable year, or (B) if no 
return was filed, the tax for the year.  The term "large 
corporation" means any corporation (or any predecessor 
corporation) which had taxable net income of $1,000,000 or more 
for any taxable year during the testing period.  The term 
"testing period" means the three taxable years immediately 
preceding the taxable year involved.  The term "applicable 
percentage" means 65 percent for taxable years beginning after 
April 30, 1982, 75 percent for taxable years beginning after 
December 31, 1982, and 80 90 percent for taxable years beginning
