14        relinquish the entire carryback period with respect to
15        such loss. Such election shall be made in the form and

1        allowable for each of the prior taxable years to which
2        such loss may be carried.
3    (b) Any loss determined under subsection (a) of this
4Section must be carried back or carried forward in the same
5manner for purposes of subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201
6of this Act as for purposes of subsections (c) and (d) of
7Section 201 of this Act.
8    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, for
9each taxable year ending on or after December 31, 2008, for
10purposes of computing the loss for the taxable year under
11subsection (a) of this Section and the deduction taken into
12account for the taxable year for a net operating loss carryover
13under paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (a) of this
14Section, the loss and net operating loss carryover shall be
15reduced in an amount equal to the reduction to the net
16operating loss and net operating loss carryover to the taxable
17year, respectively, required under Section 108(b)(2)(A) of the
18Internal Revenue Code, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
19of which is the amount of discharge of indebtedness income that
20is excluded from gross income for the taxable year (but only if
21the taxable year ends on or after December 31, 2008) under
22Section 108(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and that would have
23been allocated and apportioned to this State under Article 3 of
24this Act but for that exclusion, and the denominator of which
25is the total amount of discharge of indebtedness income
26excluded from gross income under Section 108(a) of the Internal

2this subsection (c) shall be made after the determination of
3Illinois net income for the taxable year in which the
4indebtedness is discharged.

6corporation), no carryover deduction shall be allowed under
7this Section for any taxable year ending after December 31,
82010 and prior to December 31, 2014; provided that, for
9purposes of determining the taxable years to which a net loss
10may be carried under subsection (a) of this Section, no taxable
11year for which a deduction is disallowed under this subsection
12shall be counted.
