Line 12—Depreciation, Section 179 Deduction and Gains/ Losses From Disposition of Assets—Important: Use Schedule M, lines 3 and 12 only if you have elected for federal income tax purposes to take the 30 percent or the 50 percent special depreciation allowance or the increased Section 179 deduction for property placed in service after September 10, 2001. A copy of the federal Form 4562 if filed for federal income tax purposes must be submitted with Form 740 to verify that no adjustments are required. Repor ting Depreciation and Section 179 Deduction Differences for Property Placed in Service After September 10, 2001 Create a Kentucky Form 4562 by entering Kentucky at the top center of a federal Form 4562 above Depreciation and Amortization. For property placed into service from September 10, 2001 through December 31, 2019: In Part I, line 1 enter the Kentucky limit of $25,000 and in Part I, line 3 enter the Kentucky phaseout amount of $200,000. For property placed into service on or after January 1, 2020: in Part I, line 1, enter the Kentucky limit of $100,000 and the phaseout threshold does not apply for purposes of determining Kentucky depreciation. For property placed into service between September 10, 2001 and December 31, 2019, the maximum allowable IRC §179 deduction for Kentucky purposes is reduced dollar–for–dollar by the amount by which the cost of qualifying IRC §179 property placed in service during the year exceeds the threshold. In determining the IRC §179 deduction for Kentucky for property placed into service between September 10, 2001 and December 31, 2019, the income limitation on Line 11 should be determined by using Kentucky net income before the IRC §179 deduction instead of federal taxable income. In Part II, strikethrough and ignore line 14, Special depreciation allowance for qualified property placed in service during the tax year. Use the created Kentucky Form 4562 to compute Kentucky depreciation and Section 179 deduction in accordance with the IRC in effect on December 31, 2001, for property placed into service from September 10, 2001 through December 31, 2019, or the IRC in effect on December 31, 2003 for property placed into service on or after January 1, 2020. Note: In determining the Section 179 deduction for Kentucky the income limitation on line 11 is Kentucky net income before the Section 179 deduction instead of federal taxable income. Enclose the created Kentucky Form 4562 to Form 740 and enter the amount of Kentucky depreciation from line 22 on line 12. Line 13, Enter Active Duty Military Pay—Enter active duty military pay included on Form 740, page 1, line 5. All military pay received by members of the Armed Forces while on active duty can be excluded. Active duty is defined in KRS 141.175. Line 14 —Enter other subtractions from federal adjusted gross income not listed above (enclose detailed schedule). Include: • income of precinct workers for election training or working at election booths; • capital gains on property taken by eminent domain; • passive activity loss adjustment (see Form 8582-K and instructions); • income of a child reported on the parent’s return; • artistic charitable contributions (if you do not itemize deductions); • at-risk limitations (see instructions below); • qualified farm networking project differences per KRS 141.0101(15); • differences in the gains (losses) from the sale of intangible assets amortized under the provisions of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993; • differences in gains (losses) from assets purchased after September 10, 2001; and • income of military personnel killed in the line of duty. Page 4 of 4 Determining and Reporting Differences in Gain or Loss From Disposition of Assets—If during the year you dispose of assets placed in service after September 10, 2001, on which the 30 percent or the 50 percent special depreciation allowance or the increased Section 179 deduction was taken for federal income tax purposes, you will need to determine and report the difference in the amount of gain or loss on the assets as follows: Create a Kentucky form by entering Kentucky at the top center of a federal Schedule D, federal Form 4797 and other applicable federal forms. Compute Kentucky gain or loss from the disposed assets using the Kentucky basis. Enter the difference in federal gain or loss and the Kentucky gain or loss on the appropriate line. Enclose the created Kentucky Schedule D, Kentucky Form 4797 and other forms or schedules to support the deduction. At-Risk Limitations—Federal/Kentucky income (loss) differences may create different allowable losses due to at-risk limitations. If you have amounts invested in an activity for which you are not at risk and used federal Form 6198, At-Risk Limitations, complete federal Form 6198 using Kentucky amounts to determine if the Kentucky allowable loss differs from the federal allowable loss. For a passive activity, use the Kentucky allowable loss to complete Form 8582-K. For all other activities (nonpassive), enter the difference as an “other addition” or “other subtraction” on line 5 or line 14. Line 16, Kentucky Net Operating Loss—Enter Kentucky net operating loss deduction from Schedule KNOL, Part II, Section A, Line 8. Net operating losses generated on or after January 1, 2018, are limited to 80% of the Kentucky taxable income without regard to the net operating loss, but any unused amounts are available for carryforward indefinitely. Schedule KNOL must be completed if you are claiming a Kentucky net operating loss deduction on Kentucky Schedule M. See Schedule KNOL instructions. Note: If your net operating loss occurred in 2023, complete Part I of Kentucky Schedule KNOL to determine the amount of loss to be carried forward in any future years. Retain a copy for your records and enclose a copy with your return. Line 17, Total Subtractions—Add lines 15 and 16. Enter on line 17 and on Form 740, page 1, line 8.

About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
