| 1 | | AN ACT concerning revenue.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by | 5 | | changing Sections 223 and 704A as follows: | 6 | | (35 ILCS 5/223) | 7 | | Sec. 223. Hospital credit. | 8 | | (a) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 2012, a | 9 | | taxpayer that is the owner of a hospital licensed under the | 10 | | Hospital Licensing Act, but not including an organization that | 11 | | is exempt from federal income taxes under the Internal Revenue | 12 | | Code, is entitled to a credit against the taxes imposed under | 13 | | subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act or the | 14 | | payments due under Section 704A of this Act in an amount equal | 15 | | to the lesser of the amount of real property taxes paid during | 16 | | the tax year on real property used for hospital purposes during | 17 | | the prior tax year or the cost of free or discounted services | 18 | | provided during the tax year pursuant to the hospital's | 19 | | charitable financial assistance policy, measured at cost. | 20 | | (b) If the taxpayer is a partnership or Subchapter S | 21 | | corporation, the credit is allowed to the partners or | 22 | | shareholders in accordance with the determination of income and | 23 | | distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and |

|
| 1 | | Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. A transfer of this | 2 | | credit may be made by the taxpayer earning the credit within | 3 | | one year after the credit is earned in accordance with rules | 4 | | adopted by the Department. The Department shall prescribe rules | 5 | | to enforce and administer provisions of this Section. If the | 6 | | amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability for the year, | 7 | | then the excess credit may be carried forward and applied to | 8 | | the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess | 9 | | credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest year | 10 | | for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits from | 11 | | more than one tax year that are available to offset a | 12 | | liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first. In no | 13 | | event shall a credit under this Section reduce the taxpayer's | 14 | | liability to less than zero.

|
| 1 | | 2009, a taxpayer who makes an election under subsection (f) of | 2 | | Section 5-15 of the Economic Development for a Growing Economy | 3 | | Tax Credit Act for a taxable year shall be allowed a credit | 4 | | against payments due under this Section for amounts withheld | 5 | | during the first calendar year beginning after the end of that | 6 | | taxable year equal to the amount of the credit for the | 7 | | incremental income tax attributable to full-time employees of | 8 | | the taxpayer awarded to the taxpayer by the Department of | 9 | | Commerce and Economic Opportunity under the Economic | 10 | | Development for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act for the | 11 | | taxable year and credits not previously claimed and allowed to | 12 | | be carried forward under Section 211(4) of this Act as provided | 13 | | in subsection (f) of Section 5-15 of the Economic Development | 14 | | for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act. The credit or credits may | 15 | | not reduce the taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under | 16 | | this Section to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or | 17 | | credits exceeds the total payments due under this Section with | 18 | | respect to amounts withheld during the calendar year, the | 19 | | excess may be carried forward and applied against the | 20 | | taxpayer's liability under this Section in the succeeding | 21 | | calendar years as allowed to be carried forward under paragraph | 22 | | (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits shall be | 23 | | applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax | 24 | | liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable year | 25 | | that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit | 26 | | shall be applied first. Each employer who deducts and withholds |
| | | SB0333 Engrossed | - 7 - | LRB098 04618 HLH 34646 b |
|
| 1 | | or is required to deduct and withhold tax under this Act and | 2 | | who retains income tax withholdings under subsection (f) of | 3 | | Section 5-15 of the Economic Development for a Growing Economy | 4 | | Tax Credit Act must make a return with respect to such taxes | 5 | | and retained amounts in the form and manner that the | 6 | | Department, by rule, requires and pay to the Department or to a | 7 | | depositary designated by the Department those withheld taxes | 8 | | not retained by the taxpayer. For purposes of this subsection | 9 | | (g), the term taxpayer shall include taxpayer and members of | 10 | | the taxpayer's unitary business group as defined under | 11 | | paragraph (27) of subsection (a) of Section 1501 of this Act. | 12 | | This Section is exempt from the provisions of Section 250 of | 13 | | this Act. | 14 | | (h) An employer may claim a credit against payments due | 15 | | under this Section for amounts withheld during the first | 16 | | calendar year ending after the date on which a tax credit | 17 | | certificate was issued under Section 35 of the Small Business | 18 | | Job Creation Tax Credit Act. The credit shall be equal to the | 19 | | amount shown on the certificate, but may not reduce the | 20 | | taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under this Section to | 21 | | less than zero. If the amount of the credit exceeds the total | 22 | | payments due under this Section with respect to amounts | 23 | | withheld during the calendar year, the excess may be carried | 24 | | forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability under this | 25 | | Section in the 5 succeeding calendar years. The credit shall be | 26 | | applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax |
| | | SB0333 Engrossed | - 8 - | LRB098 04618 HLH 34646 b |
|
| 1 | | liability. If there are credits from more than one calendar | 2 | | year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier | 3 | | credit shall be applied first. This Section is exempt from the | 4 | | provisions of Section 250 of this Act. | 5 | | (i) A taxpayer may claim a credit against payments due | 6 | | under this Section for amounts withheld during the first | 7 | | calendar year ending after the date on which an Illinois income | 8 | | tax return is filed by the taxpayer as required by Section 502 | 9 | | of this Act on which a credit was claimed pursuant to Section | 10 | | 223 of this Act. The credit shall be equal to the amount shown | 11 | | on the taxpayer's Illinois income tax return less any amounts | 12 | | claimed as a credit on the return to offset the taxes imposed | 13 | | on the taxpayer under Section (a) and (b) of Section 201 of | 14 | | this Act, but may not reduce the taxpayer's obligation for any | 15 | | payment due under this Section to less than zero. If the amount | 16 | | of the credit exceeds the total payments due under this Section | 17 | | with respect to amounts withheld during the calendar year, the | 18 | | excess may be carried forward and applied against the | 19 | | taxpayer's liability under this Section in the 5 succeeding | 20 | | calendar years. The credit shall be applied to the earliest | 21 | | year for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits | 22 | | from more than one calendar year that are available to offset a | 23 | | liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first. For | 24 | | purposes of this subsection (i), the term taxpayer shall | 25 | | include taxpayer and members of the taxpayer's unitary business | 26 | | group as defined under paragraph (27) of subsection (a) of |
