1method, regardless of whether any such person is deemed a
2partner for federal income tax purposes, as long as the
3partner, shareholder or member would be considered a partner,
4shareholder, or member for State law purposes in accordance
5with Chapter 805 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes, and
6whether or not those persons are allocated or allowed any
7portion of the federal tax credit with respect to the
8qualified development, or whether the allocation of the credit
9under the terms of the agreement has substantial economic
10effect, within the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Internal
11Revenue Code, relating to determination of distributive share.
12In the case of multiple tiers of pass-through entities, the
13credit may be so allocated through any number of pass-through
14entities on a pro rata basis or pursuant to an executed
15agreement among the partners, members, or owners documenting
16any alternative distribution method. Notwithstanding the
17foregoing, no credit shall be passed through an entity that is
18considered a disregarded entity for tax purposes. A qualified
19taxpayer may claim a credit so long as its direct or indirect

7certification to the Department and the Department of

12such amendment shall be filed prior to any taxpayer attempting
13to claim tax credits associated with the applicable State
14credit eligibility statement. Each qualified taxpayer is
15allowed to claim its allocated amount of credit subject to any
16restrictions set forth in this Section.
17    (e) No credit may be allocated pursuant to this Act unless
18the qualified development is the subject of a recorded
19restrictive covenant requiring the development to be
20maintained and operated as a qualified development; this
21requirement for a recorded restrictive covenant may be
22satisfied by the agreement for an extended low-income housing
23commitment required for the federal tax credits as defined in
24Section 42(h)(6)(B) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of
251986.
26    (f) If, during a taxable year, there is a determination

 

 

HB3123- 9 -LRB102 11490 HLH 16824 b

1that no recorded restrictive covenant meeting the requirements
2of subsection (e) was in effect as of the beginning of that
3year, such determination shall not apply to any period before
4that year and subsection (e) shall be applied without regard
5to that determination if the failure is corrected within one
6year from the date of the determination.
7    (g) The credit amount may be taken against the taxes
8imposed by the Illinois Income Tax Act for each taxable year of
9the credit period. The credit amount may be taken against the
10taxes, penalties, fees, charges, and payments imposed by the
11Illinois Insurance Code for each reporting period in the

13taxable year may be carried forward as a tax credit against
14payments due for up to 5 taxable years following the tax year
15to which the credit relates and must be applied first to the
16earliest reporting periods possible. Credits that are not
17claimed may not be refunded to the qualified taxpayer.
