RENAISSANCE ZONE DEDUCTION  PHASE  OUT 
PERCENTAGE 
The Renaissance Zone designation starts on January 1 of the first year of 
designation and ends on December 31 of  the final year of designation. 
The deduction is reduced during the last  3 calendar years of a zone's 
designation.  The reduction phase  out  is: 0% for all but the last three 
years of a zone's designation; 25% for the  tax  year  that  is  two  years 
before  the  final year of designation; 50% for the tax year immediately 
preceding the final year  of  designation; and 75% for the final year of 
designation.  For example, properties in Renaissance within Zones 1 
through 6, designated beginning January 1, 1997, entered the phase out 
period in 2009 (unless the specific property was granted an extension). 
If the partnership files their city income tax return on a fiscal year basis, 
the  deduction  phase  out will be made up of two different phase out 
percentages, one for the number of months of the fiscal year in the year 
in the first phase out calendar year, and one for the number of months in 
the fiscal year in the following phase out year. A short tax year may or 
may not be in two different phase out years. 
Line 11.     In column 1 enter the number of months in the tax year or short 
period prior to January 1, 2017.  In column 2 enter the number 
of  months  in  the tax year or short period after December 31, 
2016. 
Line 12.     In column 1 enter the Renaissance Zone deduction phase out 
percentage  for  calendar  year 2016. In Column 1 enter the 
Renaissance Zone deduction  phase out percentage for 
calendar year 2016. 
Line 13.   Calculate  and  enter the Renaissance Zone phase out 
percentage  for each column by multiplying line 11 by line 12 
and dividing the result by the number of months in the tax year 
or short period (usually 12).
