   18  the intent thereof, the following terms shall have the following
   19  meanings:
   20         (n) “Internal Revenue Code” means the United States
   21  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and in effect on
   22  January 1, 2011 2010, except as provided in subsection (3).

   86  the property that is the subject of the adjustments and
   87  regardless of whether such property remains in service in the
   88  hands of the taxpayer.
   89         3. There shall be added to such taxable income an amount
   90  equal to the amount of deferred income not included in such

  102  paragraph are intended to adjust taxable income for Florida tax
  103  purposes, and, notwithstanding any other provision of this code,
  104  such additions and subtractions shall be permitted to change a
  105  taxpayer’s net operating loss for Florida tax purposes.
