      If a Resident closes a business that is meant to generate real property income, business income, or timber income and there proves to be an amount of expenses or losses in connection with the business which it would have been necessary to include in the necessary expenses that would have been used to calculate the Resident's real property income, business income, or timber income in or after the current year if the Resident had not closed the business, that amount is included in the necessary expenses that are used to calculate the Resident's real property income, business income, or timber income for the year in which the day that the person closes the business falls (or for the most recent year in which there were gross revenues constituting one of these types of income, if there was none for the year in which that day falls) or for the prior year.
