NY Small Business Subtraction Modification:
This is something that was only available to Sole Proprietors with at least one employee prior to 2022. If one's Sch C had less than $250,000 net ioncome, NY allowed a 5% reduction to net income. See https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/memos/multitax/m14_3c_5i.pdf
Beginning in 2022, the 5% was increased to 15% and is now available to sole proprietors, S-Corps, and Partnerships, if qualifications are met.
Read this paragraph from a Hodgson Russ 4/12/22 Publication:
Part C of the Budget increases the small business subtraction modification percentage in both the State and City personal income taxes, and expands the modification-previously available only to proprietorships with at least one employee and net business income or farm income of less than $250,000-to include members of certain flow-through entities that are small businesses or farm businesses. Beginning in 2022, the subtraction modification will be increased from 5% to 15%, and it will be available to: (a) sole proprietors with one or more employees and less than $250,000 of net business income or net farm income; (b) owners of New York S corporations and tax-partnerships with one or more employees and net farm income of less than $250,000; and (c) owners of New York S corporations and tax-partnerships with one or more employees and less than $1.5 million of "New York gross business income" attributable to a non-farm business. For tax-partnerships, "New York gross business income" is defined by reference to Tax Law § 658(c)(3)(B)'s definition of "New York source gross income." And for New York S corporations, "New York gross business income" is defined by reference to the receipts included in the numerator of the corporation's apportionment factor. Non-farm flow-through entity owners otherwise entitled to the small business subtraction modification will be disqualified if the sum of their income from such entities exceeds $250,000.

A CPA in our building received this from another CPA. Does anyone know if this is a legitimate adjustment. The instructions still indicate that it is only viable for farms. Our software, Ultra tax and his software Lacerte make no adjustments for this or give any diagnostics that this even exists.
S-201: Small business modification If you meet the definition of a small business (see below) or are a member, partner, or shareholder of an LLC, partnership, or New York S corporation that meets the definition of a small business (see below), then you may deduct an amount equal to 15% of the net items of income, gain, loss, and deduction attributable to that business that are included in your federal adjusted gross income. Do not enter an amount less than zero. For purposes of this subtraction modification, a small business means: • a sole proprietor who employs one or more persons during the tax year, and has net business income or net farm income of greater than zero but less than $250,000; or • an LLC, partnership, or New York S corporation that employs one or more persons during the tax year, and has net farm income attributable to a farm business that is greater than zero but less than $250,000; or • an LLC, partnership, or New York S corporation that employs one or more persons during the tax year, and has New York gross business* income attributable to a non-farm business that is greater than zero but less than $1,500,000. In addition, in order to qualify for this subtraction modification, a taxpayer who is a member, partner, or shareholder of an LLC, partnership, or New York S corporation, that is a non-farm small business, must have income attributable to the net business income from its ownership interests that is less than $250,000. Note: For purposes of this modification, New York gross business income, for an LLC or a partnership, means New York source gross income as defined in Tax Law § 658(c)(3)(B). For a New York S corporation, New York gross business income means the New York receipts included in the numerator of the apportionment factor determined under Tax Law § 210-A. For more information, see New for 2022 (search: 2022).
I could not find this paragraph in any of my research.
