AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 310
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 310 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
School Choice Act.
Section 5. Findings and declaration of policy. The General
Assembly finds and declares the following:
(1) There is a crisis in the education programs in this
State. Many schools and their pupils are performing
significantly below relevant national standards and are
unable to access functions of federal and State law
designed to improve their performance. Consequently, many
pupils are dropping out of school before completing the
ordinary course of secondary education or are leaving
school without the basic skills and knowledge that will
enable them to find and hold a job or otherwise become

09800HB0310ham001 - 2 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
functioning, productive members of our society.
(2) Within this State there are many public and
nonpublic schools and independent education services
competently and efficiently educating or contributing to
the education of children. Most pupils in those schools or
receiving those services perform at or above relevant
national standards, complete their secondary education,
and matriculate to institutions of higher education at an
extremely high rate. These services and schools should be
accessible to all and should enjoy a cooperative
relationship with public school districts, schools, and
employees of this State.
(3) Custodians of school age children in this State are
frequently unable to enroll their children in schools that
will provide them a quality education due to a lack of
funds.
(4) Adopting a pilot school choice program for a
limited number of students would enable parents to select
schools or services they believe will provide a quality
education for their children, empower them to influence the
educational policies and procedures in the schools their
children attend, and provide them with at least a portion
of the funds necessary to pay for a quality education. Such
a program would test a new approach to education that could
be expanded to the rest of the State.
(5) The provisions of this Act are in the public

09800HB0310ham001 - 3 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
interest, for the public benefit, and serve a secular
public purpose.

elementary school that elects to participate in the school
choice program established under this Act and does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin
under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and attendance
at which satisfies the requirements of Section 26-1 of the
School Code, except that nothing in Section 26-1 shall be
construed to require a child to attend any particular nonpublic
school.

incurred on behalf of a qualifying pupil for the services of a
participating nonpublic school in which the qualifying pupil is
enrolled during the regular school year. Qualified education

payment of qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of
the qualifying pupil at any participating nonpublic school in
which the qualifying pupil is enrolled. A qualifying pupil

nonpublic school of his or her choice.

each public school in a qualifying zip code, as reported by the
State Board of Education, shall notify custodians of qualifying
pupils that scholarships under this Act are available for the
next school year. Notification shall occur in January of each

respect to any one piece of property;
(D-17) An amount equal to the amount otherwise

interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after

fact that foreign person's business activity outside
the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
who would be a member of the same unitary business
group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
required to apportion business income under different
subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
extent that dividends were included in base income of
the unitary group for the same taxable year and
received by the taxpayer or by a member of the

09800HB0310ham001 - 18 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964
of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in
gross income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue
Code) with respect to the stock of the same person to
whom the interest was paid, accrued, or incurred.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary
reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
with respect to such interest; or
(ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer can establish, based on a
preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person, during the same taxable
year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that

09800HB0310ham001 - 19 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
to the application or use of an alternative method
of apportionment under Section 304(f).
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in

09800HB0310ham001 - 20 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
foreign person who would be a member of the same
unitary business group but for the fact that the
foreign person's business activity outside the United
States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group
because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross
income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not

09800HB0310ham001 - 21 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
reduction to the addition modification required under
Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
(3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
(4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
assets.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost

09800HB0310ham001 - 22 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

09800HB0310ham001 - 23 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made

extent that dividends were included in base income of

This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary
reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
with respect to such interest; or
(ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer can establish, based on a
preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person, during the same taxable
year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or

09800HB0310ham001 - 46 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
to the application or use of an alternative method

Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;

States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)

because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross

marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
similar types of intangible assets.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based

09800HB0310ham001 - 49 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a

(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made

09800HB0310ham001 - 50 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a

and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority

December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
a person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
(including amounts included in gross income under

December 31, 1986 shall not exceed the amount of
such carryback or carryforward;
For taxable years in which there is a net operating

taxpayer was required in any taxable year to make an
addition modification under subparagraph (G-10), then
an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the
deductions taken in all taxable years under
subparagraph (R) with respect to that property.
If the taxpayer continues to own property through

fact that the foreign person's business activity
outside the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
who would be a member of the same unitary business
group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
required to apportion business income under different
subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
extent that dividends were included in base income of
the unitary group for the same taxable year and
received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts

09800HB0310ham001 - 69 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or
incurred.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary
reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
with respect to such interest; or
(ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer can establish, based on a
preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person, during the same taxable
year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest

09800HB0310ham001 - 70 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
to the application or use of an alternative method
of apportionment under Section 304(f).
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of

pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
foreign person who would be a member of the same

09800HB0310ham001 - 71 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
unitary business group but for the fact that the
foreign person's business activity outside the United
States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group
because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross
income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term

09800HB0310ham001 - 72 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
"intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the

disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:

09800HB0310ham001 - 73 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards

09800HB0310ham001 - 74 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
a person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were

preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition

09800HB0310ham001 - 75 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or

exempted shall be the interest net of bond premium
amortization;

provided, however, this subtraction from federal
adjusted gross income does not apply to assets acquired
with such assets or with the proceeds from the sale of
such assets; provided, further, this paragraph shall
only apply to a taxpayer who was the first recipient of
such assets after their recovery and who is a victim of

(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid

terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or

incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
to the application or use of an alternative method
of apportionment under Section 304(f).
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made

09800HB0310ham001 - 89 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act; and
(D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
foreign person who would be a member of the same
unitary business group but for the fact that the
foreign person's business activity outside the United
States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group
because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross

09800HB0310ham001 - 90 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
"intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
similar types of intangible assets;
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

09800HB0310ham001 - 91 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;

09800HB0310ham001 - 92 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance
premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the

09800HB0310ham001 - 93 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or
Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;
(D-10) An amount equal to the credit allowable to
the taxpayer under Section 218(a) of this Act,
determined without regard to Section 218(c) of this
Act;
and by deducting from the total so obtained the following
amounts:
(E) The valuation limitation amount;

or by reason of the Constitution, treaties or statutes

bonds or other obligations from the tax imposed under
this Act, the amount exempted shall be the interest net
of bond premium amortization;
(H) Any income of the partnership which
constitutes personal service income as defined in

(N) An amount equal to the amount of the deduction
used to compute the federal income tax credit for

taxable year in which the bonus depreciation deduction
is taken on the taxpayer's federal income tax return
under subsection (k) of Section 168 of the Internal
Revenue Code and for each applicable taxable year
thereafter, an amount equal to "x", where:
(1) "y" equals the amount of the depreciation

(e) Gross income; adjusted gross income; taxable income.
(1) In general. Subject to the provisions of paragraph
(2) and subsection (b) (3), for purposes of this Section
and Section 803(e), a taxpayer's gross income, adjusted
gross income, or taxable income for the taxable year shall
mean the amount of gross income, adjusted gross income or
taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax
purposes for the taxable year under the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income may be less than

December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from
taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not
exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess
of addition modifications over subtraction modifications
for the taxable year. For taxable years ending prior to

excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as
defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the

09800HB0310ham001 - 102 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
Internal Revenue Code, provided that when taxable income of
a corporation (other than a Subchapter S corporation),
trust, or estate is less than zero and addition
modifications, other than those provided by subparagraph
(E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
addition modification must be made under those
subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
(e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
(2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
federal income tax purposes shall mean:
(A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the
Internal Revenue Code;
(B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case
of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax

09800HB0310ham001 - 103 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code,
insurance company taxable income;

a regulated investment company subject to the tax
imposed by Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code,
investment company taxable income;
(D) Real estate investment trusts. In the case of a
real estate investment trust subject to the tax imposed
by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code, real
estate investment trust taxable income;
(E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
taxable income determined as if such corporation had
filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
taxable income shall be determined as if the election
provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue
Code had been in effect for all such years;
(F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
corporation or association, the taxable income of such
organization determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal

09800HB0310ham001 - 104 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
against offsetting losses from patronage activities
against income from nonpatronage activities; except
that a cooperative corporation or association may make
an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
event such election is made, such losses shall be
computed and carried over in a manner consistent with
subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
The election shall be effective for all taxable years
with original returns due on or after the date of the
election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
to provide that the election shall be effective for
losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,
the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting
forth requirements for documenting the elections and
any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
existing law;

09800HB0310ham001 - 105 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
(G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
corporation determined in accordance with Section
1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
taxable income shall take into account those items
which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
corporation determined in accordance with the federal
Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
(H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
taxable income determined in accordance with Section
703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
income shall take into account those items which are
required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
but which would be taken into account by an individual
in calculating his taxable income.
(3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or

09800HB0310ham001 - 106 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
business has been classified as business income and in a
later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
related to that asset or business that generated the
non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
taxable years.
(f) Valuation limitation amount.
(1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
(d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
(A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
(B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of

09800HB0310ham001 - 107 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
such gain included in the amount determined under
subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
(2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
(A) If the fair market value of property referred
to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
determining gain) for such property on that date
(determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
such property.
(B) If the fair market value of property referred
to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
amount for such property is that amount which bears the
same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
property for federal income tax purposes for the
taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the

09800HB0310ham001 - 108 - LRB098 03099 NHT 41592 a
property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
period for the property.
(C) The Department shall prescribe such
regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
purposes of this paragraph.
(g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
to be deducted more than once.
(h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
computation of base income and net income under this Act for
such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
August 1, 1969 or otherwise.
