Further, expands the deductions to federal taxable income that must be made in determining State corporate net income to include the amount of any expense not deducted under the Code to the extent that payment of the expense results in forgiveness of a covered loan under the CARES Act and the associated income is excluded from gross income under the CARES Act.

Also, adds that for taxable years beginning on or January 1, 2021, a taxpayer can only carry forward the charitable contributions from taxable year 2020 that exceed the applicable percentage limitation for the 2020 taxable year allowed under the subsubdivision. Provides that the purpose of the new provisions is to decouple from the modification of limitations on charitable contributions during 2020 allowed under the federal CARES Act.

Similarly, amends GS 105-153.5(c2) to modify the required adjustments to an individual’s gross income, which are decoupled from federal requirements.
