Article 7 of this Act respecting any |
12 | | amounts withheld as tax, not later

notification of an |
22 | | alteration is required by Section 506(b), a claim
for |
23 | | refund may be filed within 2 years after the date on which |
|
| | HB4647 | - 2 - | LRB098 15920 HLH 50967 b |
|
|
1 | | such
notification was due (regardless of whether such |
2 | | notice was given), but
the amount recoverable pursuant to a |
3 | | claim filed under this Section
shall be limited to the |
4 | | amount of any overpayment resulting under this
Act from |
5 | | recomputation of the taxpayer's net income, net loss, or |
6 | | Article 2
credits for the taxable
year after giving effect |
7 | | to the item or items reflected in the
alteration required |
8 | | to be reported.
|
9 | | (2) Tentative carryback adjustments paid before |
10 | | January 1, 1974.
If, as the result of the payment before |
11 | | January 1, 1974 of a federal
tentative carryback |
12 | | adjustment, a notification of an alteration is
required |
13 | | under Section 506(b), a claim for refund may be filed at |
14 | | any
time before January 1, 1976, but the amount recoverable |
15 | | pursuant to a
claim filed under this Section shall be |
16 | | limited to the amount of any
overpayment resulting under |
17 | | this Act from recomputation of the
taxpayer's base income |
18 | | for the taxable year after giving effect to the
federal |
19 | | alteration resulting from the tentative carryback |
20 | | adjustment
irrespective of any limitation imposed in |
21 | | paragraph (l) of this
subsection.
|
22 | | (c) Extension by agreement. Where, before the expiration of |
23 | | the
time prescribed in this section for the filing of a claim |
24 | | for refund,
both the Department and the claimant shall have |
25 | | consented in writing to
its filing after such time, such claim |
26 | | may be filed at any time prior to
the expiration of the period |
|
| | HB4647 | - 3 - | LRB098 15920 HLH 50967 b |
|
|
1 | | agreed upon. The period so agreed upon may
be extended by |
2 | | subsequent agreements in writing made before the
expiration of |
3 | | the period previously agreed upon.

4 | | who is a partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or
trust and |

6 | | this
subsection on or after January 1, 2003, a claim for refund |
7 | | may be filed by the
partners, shareholders, or beneficiaries of |
8 | | the taxpayer at any time prior to
the expiration of the period |
9 | | agreed upon. Any refund
allowed pursuant to the claim, however, |
10 | | shall be limited to the amount of any
overpayment
of tax due |
11 | | under this Act that results from recomputation of items of |
12 | | income,
deduction, credits, or other amounts of the taxpayer |
13 | | that are taken into
account by the partner, shareholder, or |
14 | | beneficiary in computing its liability
under this Act.
|
15 | | (d) Limit on amount of credit or refund.
|
16 | | (1) Limit where claim filed within 3-year period. If |
17 | | the claim was
filed by the claimant during the 3-year |
18 | | period prescribed in subsection
(a), the amount of the |
19 | | credit or refund shall not exceed the portion of
the tax |
20 | | paid within the period, immediately preceding the filing of |
21 | | the
claim, equal to 3 years plus the period of any |
22 | | extension of time for
filing the return.
|
23 | | (2) Limit where claim not filed within 3-year period. |
24 | | If the claim
was not filed within such 3-year period, the |
25 | | amount of the credit or
refund shall not exceed the portion |
26 | | of the tax paid during the one year
immediately preceding |
|

|
|
1 | | the filing of the claim.
|
2 | | (e) Time return deemed filed. For purposes of this section |
3 | | a tax
return filed before the last day prescribed by law for |
4 | | the filing of
such return (including any extensions thereof) |
5 | | shall be deemed to have
been filed on such last day.
|
6 | | (f) No claim for refund or credit based on the taxpayer's |
7 | | taking a credit for
estimated tax payments as provided by |
8 | | Section 601(b)(2) or for any amount
paid by a taxpayer pursuant |
9 | | to Section 602(a) or for any amount of credit for
tax withheld |
10 | | pursuant to Article 7 may be filed unless a return was filed |
11 | | for the tax year not more than 3
years after the due date, as |
12 | | provided by Section 505, of the return which
was required to be |
13 | | filed relative to the taxable year for which the
payments were |
14 | | made or for which the tax was withheld. The changes in
this |
15 | | subsection (f) made by this

19 | | attributable to a net
loss carryback as provided by Section |
20 | | 207, in lieu of the 3 year period of
limitation prescribed in |
21 | | subsection (a), the period shall be that period
which ends 3 |
22 | | years after the time prescribed by law for filing the return
|
23 | | (including extensions thereof) for the taxable year of the net |
24 | | loss which
results in such carryback (or, on and after August |
25 | | 13, 1999, with respect to a change in the
carryover of
an |
26 | | Article 2 credit to a taxable year resulting from the carryback |
|
| | HB4647 | - 5 - | LRB098 15920 HLH 50967 b |

|
6 | | respect of such taxable year, whichever expires later. In the |
7 | | case of such
a claim, the amount of the refund may exceed the |
8 | | portion of the tax paid
within the period provided in |
9 | | subsection (d) to the extent of the amount of
the overpayment |
10 | | attributable to such carryback.
On and after August 13, 1999, |
11 | | if the claim for refund relates to an overpayment attributable |
12 | | to
the
carryover
of an Article 2 credit, or of a Section 207 |
13 | | loss, earned, incurred (in a
taxable year beginning on or after |
14 | | January 1, 2000), or used in
a
year for which a notification of |
15 | | a change affecting federal taxable income must
be filed under |
16 | | subsection (b) of Section 506, the claim may be filed within |
17 | | the

|
21 | | subsection (d) to the extent of the amount of the overpayment |
22 | | attributable to
the recomputation of the taxpayer's Article 2 |
23 | | credits, or Section 207 loss,
earned, incurred, or used in the |
24 | | taxable year for which the notification is
given.

25 | | (h) Claim for refund based on net loss. On and after August |
26 | | 23, 2002, no claim for refund shall

3 | | Section 207 of this Act that was not reported to the Department
|
4 | | within 3 years of the due date (including extensions) of the |
5 | | return for the
loss year on either the original return filed by |
6 | | the taxpayer or on amended

7 | | refund is the result of an amount of net loss incurred in any |
8 | | taxable year under Section 207 for which no return was filed |
9 | | within 3 years of the due date (including extensions) of the |
10 | | return for the loss year.
|
11 | | (i) Periods of limitation suspended while taxpayer is |
12 | | unable to manage financial affairs due to disability. In the |
13 | | case of an individual, the running of the periods specified in |
14 | | this Section shall be suspended during any period when that |
15 | | individual is financially disabled. |
16 | | For purposes of this subsection (i), an individual is |

21 | | expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 |
22 | | months. |
23 | | An individual shall not be treated as financially disabled |
24 | | during any period when that individual's spouse or any other |
