(a) There is imposed an additional tax upon the 12 amount of an individual's New York taxable income that corresponds to 13 any deduction taken pursuant to section 199A of the internal revenue 14 code, or any successor provision thereto. This section shall not apply 15 to a taxpayer with a federal taxable income below the threshold amount, 16 as defined in section 199A(e) of the internal revenue code, plus fifty 17 thousand dollars for a single filer taxpayer or one hundred thousand 18 dollars in the case of a joint return. 19 (b) The rate of the additional tax imposed pursuant to this section 20 shall be equal to the highest federal income tax rates in effect for the 21 taxable year that would apply to the amount deducted under section 199A 22 of the internal revenue code, or any successor provision thereto, but 23 for the application of such section. The amount of an individual's New 24 York taxable income that corresponds to the amount of any deduction 25 taken pursuant to section 199A is the amount that bears the same 26 relationship to the taxpayer's total New York taxable income as the 27 amount deducted under section 199A bears to the taxpayer's total federal 28 taxable income as determined without regard to such deduction. 29 (c) The additional tax under this section shall be administered, and 30 penalties shall be imposed, in the same manner as the other taxes 31 imposed by this article. 32 § 6. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable 33 years commencing on and after such effective date.
