Exclusions (Continued)

Agricultural Commodity Processing Facility Exclusion
Owners of agricultural commodity processing facilities may exclude 15% of their investment in a new or expanded agricultural commodity processing facility located within Oklahoma (Title 68 O.S. Section 2358). Agricultural commodity processing facility means buildings, structures, fixtures and improvements used or operated primarily for the processing or production of agricultural commodities to marketable products. The investment is deemed made when the property is placed in service. Under no circumstances shall this exclusion lower your taxable income below zero. In the event the exclusion does exceed income, any unused portion may be carried over for a period not to exceed 6 years.

A schedule must be enclosed showing the type of investment(s), the date placed in service, and the cost. If the total exclusion available is not used, a copy of the schedule must be enclosed in the carryover year and show the total exclusion available, the amount previously used and amount available in the carryover year. If the exclusion is through a Partnership or S corporation, the schedule must also include the partnership's or S corporation's name and ID number and your pro-rata share of the exclusion.

Depreciation Adjustment for Swine or Poultry Producers
Individuals who are swine or poultry producers may deduct depreciation on an accelerated basis for new construction or expansion costs for assets placed in service after December 31, 1996. The same depreciation method elected for Federal income tax purposes will be used, except the assets will be deemed to have a 7 year life. Any depreciation deduction allowable is the amount so computed minus the Federal depreciation claimed.

Discharge of Indebtedness for Farmers
An individual, engaged in production of agriculture, may exclude income resulting from the discharge of indebtedness incurred to finance the production of agricultural products.

Oklahoma Police Corps Program Scholarship or Stipend
You may deduct any scholarship or stipend, received from participation in the Oklahoma Police Corps Program, that is included in your Federal adjusted gross income.
