2.9 	section 63(d) of the Internal Revenue Code exceeds the amount of the standard deduction 
2.10 	as defined in section 63(c) of the Internal Revenue Code minus the addition which would 
2.11 	have been required under clause (10) if the taxpayer had claimed the standard deduction. 
2.12 	For the purpose of this paragraph, the disallowance of itemized deductions under section

2.14 	deduction disallowed;
2.15 	(3) the capital gain amount of a lump sum distribution to which the special tax under

2.28 	(7) 80 percent of the depreciation deduction allowed under section 168(k) of the 
2.29 	Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this clause, if the taxpayer has an activity that 
2.30 	in the taxable year generates a deduction for depreciation under section 168(k) and the 
2.31 	activity generates a loss for the taxable year that the taxpayer is not allowed to claim for 
2.32 	the taxable year, "the depreciation allowed under section 168(k)" for the taxable year is 
2.33 	limited to excess of the depreciation claimed by the activity under section 168(k) over the

3.7 	to the extent deducted in computing federal taxable income, the amount by which the 
3.8 	standard deduction allowed under section 63(c) of the Internal Revenue Code exceeds the

3.10 	as amended through December 31, 2003; and
3.11 	(11) the exclusion allowed under section 139A of the Internal Revenue Code for 
3.12 	federal subsidies for prescription drug plans.
