timberlands is an S corporation, the taxpayer must subtract the owner's pro rata share of the gain.
If the owner of the timberlands is a partnership or limited liability company taxed as a partnership,
the taxpayer must subtract the taxpayer's distributive share of the gain, subject to the percentage
limitations provided in this paragraph.
This modification may not reduce Maine taxable income to less than zero. To the extent this
modification results in Maine taxable income that is less than zero for the taxable year, the excess
negative modification amount may be carried forward and applied as a subtraction modification for
up to 10 taxable years. The entire amount of the excess negative modification must be carried to
the earliest of the taxable years to which, by reason of this subsection, the negative modification
may be carried and then to each of the other taxable years to the extent the unused negative
modification is not used for a prior taxable year. Earlier carry-forward modifications must be used
before newer modifications generated in later years; [PL 2007, c. 539, Pt. CCC, §16 (AMD);
