Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (35 ILCS 40/10)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2025)
    Sec. 10. Credit awards.
    (a) The Department shall award credits against the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of the Illinois Income Tax Act to taxpayers who make qualified contributions. For contributions made under this Act, the credit shall be equal to 75% of the total amount of qualified contributions made by the taxpayer during a taxable year, not to exceed a credit of $1,000,000 per taxpayer.
    (b) The aggregate amount of all credits the Department may award under this Act in any calendar year may not exceed $75,000,000.
    (c) Contributions made by corporations (including Subchapter S corporations), partnerships, and trusts under this Act may not be directed to a particular subset of schools, a particular school, a particular group of students, or a particular student. Contributions made by individuals under this Act may be directed to a particular subset of schools or a particular school but may not be directed to a particular group of students or a particular student.
    (d) No credit shall be taken under this Act for any qualified contribution for which the taxpayer claims a federal income tax deduction.
    (e) Credits shall be awarded in a manner, as determined by the Department, that is geographically proportionate to enrollment in recognized non-public schools in Illinois. If the cap on the aggregate credits that may be awarded by the Department is not reached by June 1 of a given year, the Department shall award remaining credits on a first-come, first-served basis, without regard to the limitation of this subsection.
    (f) Credits awarded for donations made to a technical academy shall be awarded without regard to subsection (e), but shall not exceed 15% of the annual statewide program cap. For the purposes of this subsection, "technical academy" means a technical academy that is registered with the Board within 30 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly.
