START_STATUTE43-1080. Credit for federal use of private land for international boundary wall construction

A. A credit is allowed against the taxes imposed by this title for the fair market value of land located in this state that a taxpayer privately owns and allows the federal government to use for construction of an international boundary wall.

B. The amount of the credit is the fair market value of the portion of the land used for construction of an international boundary wall as determined in an appraisal as defined in section 32-3601 that is paid for by the taxpayer.

C. Co-owners of a business, including partners in a partnership and shareholders of an S corporation as defined in section 1361 of the internal revenue code, may each claim only the pro rata share of the credit allowed under this section based on the ownership interest. If the land is owned by a husband and wife who file separate returns for a taxable year in which they could have filed a joint return, they may determine between them the share of the credit each will claim.  The total of the credits allowed all such co-owner may not exceed the amount that would have been allowed a sole owner.

D. If the allowable tax credit exceeds the taxes otherwise due under this title on the claimant's income, or if there are no taxes due under this title, the taxpayer may carry the amount of the claim not used to offset the taxes under this title forward for not more than five consecutive taxable years' income tax liability.END_STATUTE
