accordance with | ||||

| ||||
under Sections 702 and 703 and subchapter S of the Internal | ||||

| ||
subsection and may transfer that credit as described in | ||

excess may be carried forward and applied to | ||
the tax liability of the 5 taxable
years following the excess | ||
credit year. The tax credit shall be applied to the
earliest | ||
year for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits | ||
for
more than one year that are available to offset a | ||
liability, the earlier credit
shall be applied first.

Section may be made
(i) to the purchaser of land that has been | ||
designated solely for affordable
housing projects in | ||
accordance with the Illinois Housing Development Act or

Section 7.28 of the
