  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 659 of the tax law, as amended by  chapter  577  of
the laws of 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  S  659.   Report of federal changes, corrections or disallowances.  If
the amount of a taxpayer's federal taxable income, federal items of  tax
preference,  total  taxable  amount or ordinary income portion of a lump
sum distribution or includible gain of a trust reported on  his  federal
income  tax  return  for any taxable year, or the amount of a taxpayer's
earned income credit or credit for employment-related expenses set forth
on such return, or the amount of any federal foreign tax credit  affect-
ing  the  calculation  of the credit for Canadian provincial taxes under
section six hundred twenty or six hundred twenty-A of this  article,  or
the  amount of any claim of right adjustment, is changed or corrected by
the United States internal revenue service or other competent  authority
or  as  the  result of a renegotiation of a contract or subcontract with
the United States, or the amount an employer is required to  deduct  and
withhold  from  wages  for  federal  income  tax withholding purposes is
changed or corrected by such service or authority  or  if  a  taxpayer's
claim  for credit or refund of federal income tax is disallowed in whole
or in part, the  taxpayer  or  employer  shall  report  such  change  or
correction  or  disallowance within ninety days after the final determi-
nation of such change, correction, renegotiation or disallowance, or  as
otherwise  required  by the commissioner, and shall concede the accuracy
of such determination or state wherein it is erroneous.  [The  allowance
of  a  tentative  carryback  adjustment  based upon a net operating loss
carryback pursuant to section sixty-four hundred eleven of the  internal
revenue  code  shall be treated as a final determination for purposes of

this section.]  Any taxpayer filing an amended federal income tax return
and any employer filing an amended federal return of income tax withheld
shall also file within ninety days thereafter an  amended  return  under
this  article,  and  shall give such information as the commissioner may
require.  The commissioner may by regulation prescribe  such  exceptions
to the requirements of this section as he or she deems appropriate.  For
purposes  of this section, (i) the term "taxpayer" shall include a part-
nership having a resident partner or having any income derived from  New
York  sources,  and a corporation with respect to which the taxable year
of such change, correction, disallowance or amendment  is  a  year  with
respect  to which the election provided for in subsection (a) of section
six hundred sixty of this article  is  in  effect,  and  (ii)  the  term
"federal income tax return" shall include the returns of income required
under  sections six thousand thirty-one and six thousand thirty-seven of
the internal revenue code.   In the case of  such  a  corporation,  such
report  shall  also  include  any  change  or  correction  of  the taxes
described in paragraphs two and three of subsection (f) of section thir-
teen hundred sixty-six of the internal revenue code.  Reports made under
this section by a partnership or corporation shall indicate the  portion
of  the  change in each item of income, gain, loss or deduction (and, in
the case of a corporation, of each change in, or disallowance of a claim
for credit or refund of, a tax referred to in  the  preceding  sentence)
allocable  to each partner or shareholder and shall set forth such iden-
tifying information with respect to such partner or shareholder  as  may
be prescribed by the commissioner.
  S  2.  Subsection  (a)  of  section 1087 of the tax law, as amended by
section 9 of part H of chapter 1 of the laws of 2003, is amended to read
as follows:
  (a) General.--Claim for credit or refund  of  an  overpayment  of  tax
under  article  nine or nine-A shall be filed by the taxpayer within (i)
three years from the time the return was filed, (ii) two years from  the
time  the  tax  was paid or (iii) in the case of any overpayment arising
from an erroneous denial by the department of environmental conservation
of a certification of completion pursuant  to  section  27-1419  of  the
environmental conservation law, two years from the time a final determi-
nation  to  the  effect that such denial was erroneous is made and is no
longer subject to judicial review, whichever of such periods expires the
latest, or if no return was filed, within two years from  the  time  the
tax  was  paid.  If the claim is filed within the three year period, the
amount of the credit or refund shall not exceed the portion of  the  tax
paid  within  the  three  years  immediately preceding the filing of the
claim plus the period of any extension of time for filing the return. If
the claim is not filed within the three year period, but is filed within
the two year period, the amount of the credit or refund shall not exceed
the portion of the tax paid during the two years  immediately  preceding
the  filing  of  the  claim. In the case of a claim for credit or refund
filed  within  the  period  prescribed  in  paragraph  (iii)   of   this
subsection, the amount of the credit or refund may exceed the portion of
the  tax  paid  within  the applicable period specified in the two imme-
diately preceding sentences, but only to the extent of the amount of the
overpayment attributable to  the  denial  described  in  such  paragraph
(iii).  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in this section, if no claim is
filed, the amount of a credit or refund  shall  not  exceed  the  amount
which would be allowable if a claim had been filed on the date the cred-
it  or  refund  is allowed. For special restriction in a proceeding on a
claim for refund of tax paid pursuant to an assessment made as a  result

(ii)] an increase or decrease in federal taxable income or federal  tax,
or  [(iii)]  (II)  a  federal  change or correction or renegotiation, or

whose last known address is outside of  the  United  States,  after  the
mailing  of  the notice of deficiency authorized by section one thousand
eighty-one, the taxpayer may file a petition with the tax commission for
a redetermination of the deficiency. Such petition  may  also  assert  a
claim  for  refund  for  the  same taxable year or years, subject to the
limitations of subsection (g) of section one thousand eighty-seven.  For
special restriction where the notice of deficiency relates to a proposed
assessment  made  as  a result of (i) [a net operating loss carryback or
capital loss carryback, (ii)] an increase or decrease in federal taxable
income or federal tax, or [(iii)] (II) a federal change or correction or
renegotiation, or computation or recomputation of tax, which is  treated
in  the  same  manner  as if it were a deficiency for federal income tax
purposes, see paragraph (7) of subsection (c) of  section  one  thousand
eighty-three.
