(2) Distributions from an account:
(a) are first attributable to income and then to other deposits; and
(b) must be considered to be made from deposits in the order in which the deposits were made, beginning with the earliest deposits. Income is considered to be deposited on the date the income is received by the account.
(3) All distributions from the account are taxable unless:
(a) the deposit, or that portion of the deposit to which the distribution is attributable, was not excluded from income in calculating Montana individual income taxes for the tax year the deposit was made; or
(b) the distribution has already been taxed because it was considered a distribution as provided in subsection (4).

The distribution is taxable, and a penalty equal to 10% of the tax due on the distributed amount is added to the tax as a penalty.
(ii) The 3-year eligibility period for withdrawal of a deposit without penalty is the due date, including extensions, for the filing of a tax return required by this chapter or, if the taxpayer files earlier, the date the taxpayer files the return for the tax year in which the third anniversary of the deposit occurs.
(b) At the end of the first disqualification period after a period in which the taxpayer was engaged in eligible agricultural business, the balance of the account is considered to be distributed to the taxpayer and is taxable to the taxpayer.
