Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 in an amount equal to
(i) 5% of the federal tax credit for each taxable year beginning on or after
January 1,
2000 and ending prior to December 31, 2012, (ii) 7.5% of the federal tax credit for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2012 and ending prior to December 31, 2013, (iii) 10% of the federal tax credit for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and beginning prior to January 1, 2017, (iv) 14% of the federal tax credit for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and beginning prior to January 1, 2018, (v) 18% of the federal tax credit for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and beginning prior to January 1, 2023, and (vi) 20% of the federal tax credit for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
For a non-resident or part-year resident, the amount of the credit under this
Section shall be in proportion to the amount of income attributable to this
State.
(b) For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2003, in no event
shall a credit under this Section reduce the taxpayer's
liability to less than zero. For each taxable year beginning on or after
January 1, 2003, if the amount of the credit exceeds the income tax liability
for the applicable tax year, then the excess credit shall be refunded to the
taxpayer. The amount of a refund shall not be included in the taxpayer's
income or resources for the purposes of determining eligibility or benefit
level in any means-tested benefit program administered by a governmental entity
unless required by federal law.
(b-5) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, each individual taxpayer who has attained the age of 18 during the taxable year but has not yet attained the age of 25 is entitled to the credit under paragraph (a) based on the federal tax credit for which the taxpayer would have been eligible without regard to any age requirements that would otherwise apply to individuals without a qualifying child in Section 32(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the federal Internal Revenue Code. (b-10) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, each individual taxpayer who has attained the age of 65 or older during the taxable year is entitled to the credit under paragraph (a) based on the federal tax credit for which the taxpayer would have been eligible without regard to any age requirements that would otherwise apply to individuals without a qualifying child in Section 32(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the federal Internal Revenue Code. (b-15) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, each individual taxpayer filing a return using an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) as prescribed under Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code, other than a Social Security number issued pursuant to Section 205(c)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act, is entitled to the credit under paragraph (a) based on the federal tax credit for which they would have been eligible without applying the restrictions regarding social security numbers in Section 32(m) of the federal Internal Revenue Code. (c) This Section is exempt from the provisions of Section 250.
