11reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
12on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
13imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
14increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed

16shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
17on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for

2    (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at which the sum of:
3            (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign

10100SB0687sam001- 9 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
2against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
3investment in qualified property.
4        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
5    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
6    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
7    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
8    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
9    property placed in service during the taxable year,
10    provided such property is placed in service on or after
11    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
12    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
13    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
14    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
15    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
16    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
17    which they file employment records with the Illinois
18    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
19    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
20    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
21    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
22    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
23    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
24    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
25    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
26    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 10 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
2    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
3    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
4    other than the year in which the property was placed in
5    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
6    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
7    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
8    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
9    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
10    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
11    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
12    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
13    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
14    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
15    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
16    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
17    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
18    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
19    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
20    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
21    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
22    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
23    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
24    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
25    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
26    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 11 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
2    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
3    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
4    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
5    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
6    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
7    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
8    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
9    shall be applied first.
10        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
11    which:
12            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
13        buildings and structural components of buildings and
14        signs that are real property, but not including land or
15        improvements to real property that are not a structural
16        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
17        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
18        other appurtenances;
19            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
20        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
21        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
22        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
23        (e);
24            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
25        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
26            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 12 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
2        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
3        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
4        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
5        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
6            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
7        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
8        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
9        subsection (f).
10        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
11    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
12    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
13    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
14    assembling which changes some existing material into new
15    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
16    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
17    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
18    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
19    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
20    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
21    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
22    personal property for use or consumption and not for
23    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
24    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
25    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
26    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 13 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
2    electricity.
3        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
4    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
5    income tax purposes.
6        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
7    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
8    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
9    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
10    date of such increase in basis.
11        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
12    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
13        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
14    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
15    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
16    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
17    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
18    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
19    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
20    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
21    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
22    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
23    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
24    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
25    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
26    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 14 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
2    property to the extent of such reduction.
3        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
4    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
5    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
6    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
7    December 31, 2018.
8        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
9    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
10    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
11    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
12    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
13    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
14    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
15    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
16    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
17    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
18    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
19    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
20    taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
21    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
22    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
23    shall be irrevocable.
24        For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
25    a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
26    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 15 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
2    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
3    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
4    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
5    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
6    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
7    corporation, determined in accordance with the
8    determination of income and distributive share of income
9    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
10    Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
11    of Section 250.
12    (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge
13Redevelopment Zone.
14        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
15    tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
16    investment in qualified property which is placed in service
17    in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
18    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
19    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
20    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
21    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
22    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
23    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
24    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
25    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
26    determined in accordance with the determination of income

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 16 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
2    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
3    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
4    shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
5    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
6    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
7    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
8    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
9    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December

11    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
12    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
13    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
14    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
15    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
16    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
17    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
18    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
19    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
20    accruing first in time shall be applied first.

4        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
5            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
6        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
7            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
8        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
9        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
10        subsection (e).
11        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
12    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
13    income tax purposes.
14        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
15    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
16    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
17    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
18    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
19    date of such increase in basis.
20        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
21    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
22        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
23    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
24    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
25    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
26    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after

1    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
2    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
3    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
4    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
5    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
6    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
7    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
8    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
9    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
10    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
11    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
12    property to the extent of such reduction.
13        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
14    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
15    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
16    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
17    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
18    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
19    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
20    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of

22    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
23    employment for the first year in which they file employment
24    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
25    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
26    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,

20    (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
21    Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
22    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
23    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
24    credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
25    taxable year in which such investments have been completed.

1    investment by a designated high impact business authorized
2    under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
3    Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
4    year in which the property is placed in service and shall
5    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
6    taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
7    and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
8    on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
9    for the tax year in which the property is placed in
10    service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
11    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
12    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
13    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
14    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
15    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
16    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
17    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
18    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
19        Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
20    88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
21    reflect existing law.
22        (2) The term qualified property means property which:

8        Section.
9        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
10    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
11    income tax purposes.
12        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
13    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
14    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
15    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
16    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
17    the date of such increase in basis.
18        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
19    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
20        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before

10100SB0687sam001- 22 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
2    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
3    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
4    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
5    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
6    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
7    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
8    basis of qualified property resulting from a
9    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
10    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
11    reduction.
12        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
13    1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
14    subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
15    the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
16    the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
17    18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
18    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased

20    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
21    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
22    (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income

24shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
25(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and

10100SB0687sam001- 23 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
2Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
3allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
4base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
5rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
6    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
7subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
8because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
9and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
10liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
11forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
12(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
13year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
14year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
15applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
16liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
17than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
18earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
19first.
20    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
211986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
22Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
23subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
24shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
25recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
26imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 24 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
2taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
3year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
4    (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
5ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
62003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax
7imposed by subsections (a) and (b) under this Section for all
8amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons employed by
9the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed outside
10of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
11training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled
12or skilled fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
13computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
14imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
15training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
16corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
17liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
18federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
19credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
20with the determination of income and distributive share of
21income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
22Internal Revenue Code.
23    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
24the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
25the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
26first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 25 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
2there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
3year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
4credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
5carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
6after December 31, 2003.
7    (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending
8after July 1, 1990 and prior to December 31, 2003, and
9beginning again for tax years ending on or after December 31,
102004, and ending prior to January 1, 2022, a taxpayer shall be
11allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
12(b) of this Section for increasing research activities in this
13State. The credit allowed against the tax imposed by
14subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the
15qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
16this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
17corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
18liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
19federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
20credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
21with the determination of income and distributive share of
22income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
23Internal Revenue Code.
24    For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
25means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
26credit for increasing research activities which would be

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 26 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
2which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
3increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
4of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
5incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
6"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
7of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
8period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
9preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
10made.
11    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
12year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
13unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
14as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
15taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
16first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
17prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
18ending on or after December 31, 2003.
19    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
202 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
21year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
22given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
23remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
24applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
25liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
26credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 27 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
2that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
3than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
4credit is given was incurred.
5    No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
691st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable
7years beginning before January 1, 1999.
8    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research
9and development credit under this subsection (k) shall apply
10continuously for all tax years ending on or after December 31,
112004 and ending prior to January 1, 2022, including, but not
12limited to, the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending
13on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th
14General Assembly. All actions taken in reliance on the
15continuation of the credit under this subsection (k) by any
16taxpayer are hereby validated.
17    (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.

1    paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
2    which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
3    Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
4    Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
5    for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
6    eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
7    available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
8    party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
9    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
10    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
11    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
12    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
13    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
14    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
15    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
16    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
17    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with

25    credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
26    and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 29 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

2    that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
3    contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
4    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
5    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
6    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
7    a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
8    shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
9    allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
10    accordance with the determination of income and
11    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
12    subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
13        (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
14    unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
15    forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
16    for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
17    term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
18    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
19    maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
20    This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
21    which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
22    subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
23    offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
24    subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
25    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
26    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 30 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
2    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
3    carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
4    transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
5    chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
6    the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
7    assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
8    amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
9    the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
10    taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
11    eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
12        (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
13    shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
14    Environmental Protection Act.

19Section for qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of
20the qualifying pupils. The credit shall be equal to 25% of
21qualified education expenses, but in no event may the total
22credit under this subsection claimed by a family that is the
23custodian of qualifying pupils exceed (i) $500 for tax years
24ending prior to December 31, 2017, and (ii) $750 for tax years
25ending on or after December 31, 2017. In no event shall a

2    availability for purposes of this Section shall be made
3    consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution Control
4    Board pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure
5    Act for the administration and enforcement of Section 58.9
6    of the Environmental Protection Act. For purposes of this
7    Section, "taxpayer" includes a person whose tax attributes
8    the taxpayer has succeeded to under Section 381 of the
9    Internal Revenue Code and "related party" includes the
10    persons disallowed a deduction for losses by paragraphs
11    (b), (c), and (f)(1) of Section 267 of the Internal Revenue
12    Code by virtue of being a related taxpayer, as well as any

14    by subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the
15    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of
16    $100,000 per site.
17        (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
18    unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
19    forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
20    for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This
21    credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
22    which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
23    subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
24    offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
25    subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
26    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of

1    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
2    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
3    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
4    carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
5    transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
6    chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
7    the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
8    assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
9    amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
10    the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
11    taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
12    eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
13        (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
14    shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
15    Environmental Protection Act.
16    (o) For each of taxable years during the Compassionate Use
17of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program, a surcharge is imposed on

21an organization registrant under the Compassionate Use of
22Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act. The amount of the surcharge
23is equal to the amount of federal income tax liability for the
24taxable year attributable to those sales and exchanges. The
25surcharge imposed does not apply if:

1        this Act for such taxable year. The election under this
2        paragraph must be made on or before the due date

10100SB0687sam001- 43 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1    returns in this State on such forms as may be required by
2    the Department in which event their tax liabilities shall
3    be separate; but if, for taxable years ending prior to
4    December 31, 2021, they file a joint federal income tax
5    return for a taxable year, they may elect to determine
6    their joint net income and file a joint return for that
7    taxable year under the provisions of paragraph (1) of this
8    subsection as if both were residents and in such case,
9    their liabilities shall be joint and several. For taxable
10    years ending on or after December 31, 2021, if such spouses

17        (4) Innocent spouses.
18            (A) However, for tax liabilities arising and paid
19        prior to August 13, 1999, an innocent spouse shall be
20        relieved of liability for tax (including interest and
21        penalties) for any taxable year for which a joint
22        return has been made, upon submission of proof that the
23        Internal Revenue Service has made a determination
24        under Section 6013(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, for
25        the same taxable year, which determination relieved
26        the spouse from liability for federal income taxes. If

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 44 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1        there is no federal income tax liability at issue for
2        the same taxable year, the Department shall rely on the
3        provisions of Section 6013(e) to determine whether the
4        person requesting innocent spouse abatement of tax,
5        penalty, and interest is entitled to that relief.
6            (B) For tax liabilities arising on and after August
7        13, 1999 or which arose prior to that date, but remain
8        unpaid as of that date, if an individual who filed a
9        joint return for any taxable year has made an election
10        under this paragraph, the individual's liability for
11        any tax shown on the joint return shall not exceed the
12        individual's separate return amount and the
13        individual's liability for any deficiency assessed for
14        that taxable year shall not exceed the portion of the
15        deficiency properly allocable to the individual. For
16        purposes of this paragraph:
17                (i) An election properly made pursuant to
18            Section 6015 of the Internal Revenue Code shall
19            constitute an election under this paragraph,
20            provided that the election shall not be effective
21            until the individual has notified the Department
22            of the election in the form and manner prescribed
23            by the Department.
24                (ii) If no election has been made under Section
25            6015, the individual may make an election under
26            this paragraph in the form and manner prescribed by

 

 

10100SB0687sam001- 45 -LRB101 04448 HLH 60053 a

1            the Department, provided that no election may be
2            made if the Department finds that assets were
3            transferred between individuals filing a joint
4            return as part of a scheme by such individuals to
5            avoid payment of Illinois income tax and the
6            election shall not eliminate the individual's
7            liability for any portion of a deficiency
8            attributable to an error on the return of which the
9            individual had actual knowledge as of the date of
10            filing.
11                (iii) In determining the separate return
12            amount or portion of any deficiency attributable
13            to an individual, the Department shall follow the
14            provisions in subsections (c) and (d) of Section
15            6015 of the Internal Revenue Code.
16                (iv) In determining the validity of an
17            individual's election under subparagraph (ii) and
18            in determining an electing individual's separate
19            return amount or portion of any deficiency under
20            subparagraph (iii), any determination made by the
21            Secretary of the Treasury, by the United States Tax
22            Court on petition for review of a determination by
23            the Secretary of the Treasury, or on appeal from
24            the United States Tax Court under Section 6015 of
25            the Internal Revenue Code regarding criteria for
26            eligibility or under subsection (d) of Section

9            of Section 908. If a protest is filed, the
10            Department shall take no collection action against
11            the electing individual until the decision
12            regarding the protest has become final under
13            subsection (d) of Section 908 or, if
14            administrative review of the Department's decision
