    The tax credit awarded under this Section may not reduce 
2
the taxpayer's liability to less than
zero.  If the amount of 
3
the tax credit exceeds the tax liability for the year,
the 
4
excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability 
5
of the 5
taxable years following the excess credit year.  The 
6
credit must be applied to
the earliest year for which there is 
7
a tax liability.  If there are credits
from more than one tax 
8
year that are available to offset a liability, then the

9
earliest credit must be applied first, except that no credit 
10
may be carried forward under this Section more than 5 years 
11
after the year in which the expense for which the credit is 
12
given was incurred.
