HB3635 Enrolled LRB096 08997 RCE 19136 b

    AN ACT concerning revenue.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by
changing Section 601 as follows:
 
    (35 ILCS 5/601)  (from Ch. 120, par. 6-601)
    Sec. 601. Payment on Due Date of Return.
    (a) In general. Every taxpayer required to file a return
under this Act shall, without assessment, notice or demand, pay
any tax due thereon to the Department, at the place fixed for
filing, on or before the date fixed for filing such return
(determined without regard to any extension of time for filing
the return) pursuant to regulations prescribed by the
Department. If, however, the due date for payment of a
taxpayer's federal income tax liability for a tax year (as
provided in the Internal Revenue Code or by Treasury
regulation, or as extended by the Internal Revenue Service) is
later than the date fixed for filing the taxpayer's Illinois
income tax return for that tax year, the Department may, by
rule, prescribe a due date for payment that is not later than
the due date for payment of the taxpayer's federal income tax
liability. For purposes of the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act, the adoption of rules to prescribe a later due
date for payment shall be deemed an emergency and necessary for
the public interest, safety, and welfare.
    (b) Amount payable. In making payment as provided in this
section there shall remain payable only the balance of such tax
remaining due after giving effect to the following:
        (1) Withheld tax. Any amount withheld during any
    calendar year pursuant to Article 7 from compensation paid
    to a taxpayer shall be deemed to have been paid on account
    of any tax imposed by subsections 201(a) and (b) of this
    Act on such taxpayer for his taxable year beginning in such
    calendar year. If more than one taxable year begins in a
    calendar year, such amount shall be deemed to have been
    paid on account of such tax for the last taxable year so
    beginning.
        (2) Estimated and tentative tax payments. Any amount of
    estimated tax paid by a taxpayer pursuant to Article 8 for
    a taxable year shall be deemed to have been paid on account
    of the tax imposed by this Act for such taxable year.
        (3) Foreign tax. The aggregate amount of tax which is
    imposed upon or measured by income and which is paid by a
    resident for a taxable year to another state or states on
    income which is also subject to the tax imposed by
    subsections 201(a) and (b) of this Act shall be credited
    against the tax imposed by subsections 201(a) and (b)
    otherwise due under this Act for such taxable year. For
    taxable years ending prior to December 31, 2009, the The
    aggregate credit provided under this paragraph shall not
    exceed that amount which bears the same ratio to the tax
    imposed by subsections 201(a) and (b) otherwise due under
    this Act as the amount of the taxpayer's base income
    subject to tax both by such other state or states and by
    this State bears to his total base income subject to tax by
    this State for the taxable year. For taxable years ending
    on or after December 31, 2009, the credit provided under
    this paragraph for tax paid to other states shall not
    exceed that amount which bears the same ratio to the tax
    imposed by subsections 201(a) and (b) otherwise due under
    this Act as the amount of the taxpayer's base income that
    would be allocated or apportioned to other states if all
    other states had adopted the provisions in Article 3 of
    this Act bears to the taxpayer's total base income subject
    to tax by this State for the taxable year. The credit
    provided by this paragraph shall not be allowed if any
    creditable tax was deducted in determining base income for
    the taxable year. Any person claiming such credit shall
    attach a statement in support thereof and shall notify the
    Director of any refund or reductions in the amount of tax
    claimed as a credit hereunder all in such manner and at
    such time as the Department shall by regulations prescribe.
        (4) Accumulation and capital gain distributions. If
    the net income of a taxpayer includes amounts included in
    his base income by reason of Section 668 or 669 of the
    Internal Revenue Code (relating to accumulation and
    capital gain distributions by a trust, respectively), the
    tax imposed on such taxpayer by this Act shall be credited
    with his pro rata portion of the taxes imposed by this Act
    on such trust for preceding taxable years which would not
    have been payable for such preceding years if the trust had
    in fact made distributions to its beneficiaries at the
    times and in the amounts specified in Sections 666 and 669
    of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit provided by this
    paragraph shall not reduce the tax otherwise due from the
    taxpayer to an amount less than that which would be due if
    the amounts included by reason of Sections 668 and 669 of
    the Internal Revenue Code were excluded from his base
    income.
    (c) Cross reference. For application against tax due of
overpayments of tax for a prior year, see Section 909.
