9 in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
10 an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
11 qualified property placed in service during the taxable
12 year, provided such property is placed in service on or
13 after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
14 within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
15 preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
16 records filed with the Illinois Department of Employment

21 added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored
22 by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of
23 existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,
24 the increase in base employment within Illinois over the
25 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit
26 shall be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the

SB2422- 13 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
2 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
3 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
4 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
5 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
6 other than the year in which the property was placed in
7 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
8 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
9 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
10 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
11 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
12 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
13 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
14 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
15 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
16 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
17 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
18 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
19 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
20 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
21 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
22 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i)
23 and (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
24 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
25 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
26 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending

SB2422- 14 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
2 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
3 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
4 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
5 or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
6 carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
7 taxable years following the excess credit years. The
8 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
9 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
10 tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
11 credit shall be applied first.
12 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
13 which:
14 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
15 buildings and structural components of buildings and
16 signs that are real property, but not including land

19 landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,
20 parking lots, and other appurtenances;
21 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
22 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
23 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
24 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
25 (e);
26 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

SB2422- 15 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
2 (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
3 primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
4 or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
5 on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
6 Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
7 Redevelopment Zone Act; and
8 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
9 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
10 the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
11 subsection (f).
12 (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
13 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
14 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
15 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
16 assembling which changes some existing material into new
17 shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes
18 of this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the
19 same meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
20 Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection
21 (e), the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible
22 personal property for use or consumption and not for
23 resale, or services rendered in conjunction with the sale
24 of tangible personal property for use or consumption and
25 not for resale. For purposes of this subsection (e),
26 "tangible personal property" has the same meaning as when

SB2422- 16 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 that term is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
2 and, for taxable years ending after December 31, 2008,
3 does not include the generation, transmission, or
4 distribution of electricity.
5 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
6 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
7 income tax purposes.
8 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income
9 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
10 placed in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount
11 of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
12 service on the date of such increase in basis.
13 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
14 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
15 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
16 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
17 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
18 any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
19 months after being placed in service, the Personal
20 Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
21 shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
22 (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
23 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
24 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
25 property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
26 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously

SB2422- 17 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
2 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
3 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
4 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
5 of such reduction.
6 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
7 the basis of qualified property shall not include costs

23 Redevelopment Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
24 Redevelopment Zone Act. For partners, shareholders of
25 Subchapter S corporations, and owners of limited liability
26 companies, if the liability company is treated as a

SB2422- 19 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b

7 basis for such property. The credit shall be available
8 only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
9 service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment
10 Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
11 reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
12 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
13 tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit
14 shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
15 placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
16 the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
17 original liability or the liability as later amended, such
18 excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
19 liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
20 credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest

23 liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
24 applied first.
25 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
26 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including

SB2422- 20 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b

2 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

4 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
5 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
6 (f);
7 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

9 (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
10 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
11 (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
12 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
13 the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
14 subsection (e).
15 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
16 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
17 income tax purposes.
18 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
19 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
20 placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
21 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
22 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
23 date of such increase in basis.
24 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
25 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
26 (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to

SB2422- 21 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
2 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
3 any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise
4 Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
5 after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
6 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
7 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
8 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
9 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
10 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
11 property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
12 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
13 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
14 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
15 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
16 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
17 of such reduction.
18 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
19 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
20 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
21 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
22 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
23 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
24 over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
25 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
26 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois

SB2422- 22 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
2 employment for the first year in which they file
3 employment records with the Illinois Department of
4 Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
5 employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
6 than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
7 percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
8 0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
9 exceed 0.5%.
10 (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
11 2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
12 construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
13 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
14 Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
15 The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
16 liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
17 credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
18 be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
19 liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
20 provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
21 The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
22 year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
23 credits from more than one taxable year that are available
24 to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
25 first.
26 For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S

SB2422- 23 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,

5 determined in accordance with the determination of income
6 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and
7 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.

3 Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
4 (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
5 Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
6 reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
7 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
8 credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in
9 the taxable year in which such investments have been
10 completed. The credit for additional investments beyond
11 the minimum investment by a designated high impact
12 business authorized under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section
13 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act shall be available
14 only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
15 service and shall not be allowed to the extent that it
16 would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
17 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
18 tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987, the credit
19 shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
20 placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
21 the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
22 original liability or the liability as later amended, such
23 excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
24 liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
25 credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
26 year for which there is a liability. If there is credit

SB2422- 25 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
2 liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
3 applied first.

22 income tax purposes.
23 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
24 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
25 placed in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade
26 Zone or Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the

SB2422- 26 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 amount of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
2 service on the date of such increase in basis.
3 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
4 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
5 (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
6 December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
7 property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
8 after being placed in service, or the situs of any
9 qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
10 months after being placed in service, the tax imposed

14 would have been allowed for the year in which credit for
15 such property was originally allowed by eliminating such
16 property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
17 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
18 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
19 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
20 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
21 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
22 of such reduction.
23 (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,

26credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be

SB2422- 28 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability
2in succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under
3paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits

7subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
8because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections
9(a) and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original

2131, 1986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
22Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
23subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax

151.6% of such training expenses. For partners, shareholders of
16subchapter S corporations, and owners of limited liability
17companies, if the liability company is treated as a

19there shall be allowed a credit under this subsection (j) to be
20determined in accordance with the determination of income and
21distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and

23 Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused
24in the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each
25of the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit
26is first computed until it is used. This credit shall be

SB2422- 31 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
2liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from
3more than one tax year that is available to offset a liability,
4the earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be
5applied first. No carryforward credit may be claimed in any
6tax year ending on or after December 31, 2003.

11allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
12and (b) of this Section for increasing research activities in
13this State. The credit allowed against the tax imposed by
14subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the
15qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in

17corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if
18the liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes
19of federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
20credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
21with the determination of income and distributive share of
22income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
23Internal Revenue Code.
24 For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
25means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
26credit for increasing research activities which would be

SB2422- 32 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
2which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures
3for increasing research activities in this State" means the
4excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in
5which incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base
6period, "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means
7the average of the qualifying expenditures for each year in
8the base period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years
9immediately preceding the taxable year for which the
10determination is being made.
11 Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
12year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
13unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
14as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
15taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
16occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
17ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
18year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
19 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
202 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
21year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
22given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
23remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
24applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
25liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
26credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next

SB2422- 33 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
2that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
3than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
4credit is given was incurred.
5 No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 this
6amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
7Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
8 It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research

13on July 6, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 100-22) this
14amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. All actions
15taken in reliance on the continuation of the credit under this
16subsection (k) by any taxpayer are hereby validated.
17 (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
18 (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and
19 on or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be
20 allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections
21 (a) and (b) of this Section for certain amounts paid for
22 unreimbursed eligible remediation costs, as specified in
23 this subsection. For purposes of this Section,
24 "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs" means costs
25 approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

5 be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval
6 of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit
7 is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
8 related party caused or contributed to, in any material
9 respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or
10 under the site that was identified and addressed by the
11 remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program
12 of the Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution
13 Control Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
14 Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
15 enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
16 Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
17 for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
18 those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
19 includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
20 succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue
21 Code and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
22 deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
23 Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of
24 being a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners.

26 (a) and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed

SB2422- 35 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 eligible remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site,
2 except that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any
3 site contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
4 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
5 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The

4 of the basis of qualified property placed in service
5 during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
6 in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
7 an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
8 qualified property placed in service during the taxable
9 year, provided such property is placed in service on or
10 after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
11 within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
12 preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
13 records filed with the Illinois Department of Employment
14 Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be
15 deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the
16 first year in which they file employment records with the
17 Illinois Department of Employment Security. The provisions
18 added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored
19 by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of
20 existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,
21 the increase in base employment within Illinois over the
22 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit
23 shall be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
24 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
25 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
26 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a

SB2422- 53 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
2 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
3 other than the year in which the property was placed in
4 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
5 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
6 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
7 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
8 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
9 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
10 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
11 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
12 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
13 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
14 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
15 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
16 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
17 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
18 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
19 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i)
20 and (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
21 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
22 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
23 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
24 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
25 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
26 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability

SB2422- 54 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
2 or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
3 carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
4 taxable years following the excess credit years. The
5 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
6 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
7 tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
8 credit shall be applied first.
9 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
10 which:
11 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
12 buildings and structural components of buildings and
13 signs that are real property, but not including land
14 or improvements to real property that are not a
15 structural component of a building such as
16 landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,
17 parking lots, and other appurtenances;
18 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
19 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
20 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
21 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
22 (e);
23 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
24 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
25 (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
26 primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal

SB2422- 55 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
2 on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
3 Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
4 Redevelopment Zone Act; and
5 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
6 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
7 the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
8 subsection (f).
9 (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
10 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
11 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
12 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
13 assembling which changes some existing material into new
14 shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes
15 of this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the
16 same meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
17 Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection
18 (e), the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible
19 personal property for use or consumption and not for
20 resale, or services rendered in conjunction with the sale
21 of tangible personal property for use or consumption and
22 not for resale. For purposes of this subsection (e),
23 "tangible personal property" has the same meaning as when
24 that term is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
25 and, for taxable years ending after December 31, 2008,
26 does not include the generation, transmission, or

SB2422- 56 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 distribution of electricity.
2 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
3 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
4 income tax purposes.
5 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income
6 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been

8 of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
9 service on the date of such increase in basis.
10 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
11 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
12 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
13 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
14 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
15 any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
16 months after being placed in service, the Personal
17 Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
18 shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
19 (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
20 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
21 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
22 property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
23 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
24 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
25 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
26 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be

SB2422- 57 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b
1 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
2 of such reduction.
3 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
4 the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
5 incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs
6 incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
7 before December 31, 2018.
8 (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
9 a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
10 the credits to which the partnership is entitled under
11 this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may
12 use the credit allocated to him or her under this
13 paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
14 and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that
15 election, those credits shall be allocated among the
16 partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
17 set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,
18 and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the
19 allocated amount of the credits shall be allowed to the
20 partners for that taxable year. The partnership shall make
21 this election on its Personal Property Tax Replacement
22 Income Tax return for that taxable year. The election to
23 pass through the credits shall be irrevocable.
24 For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
25 2000, a partner that qualifies its partnership for a
26 subtraction under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of

SB2422- 58 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b

2 qualifies a Subchapter S corporation for a subtraction
3 under subparagraph (S) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b)
4 of Section 203 shall be allowed a credit under this

3 Internal Revenue Code. The credit shall be .5% of the
4 basis for such property. The credit shall be available
5 only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
6 service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment
7 Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
8 reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
9 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
10 tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit
11 shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
12 placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
13 the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
14 original liability or the liability as later amended, such
15 excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
16 liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
17 credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest

11 subsection (e).
12 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
13 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
14 income tax purposes.
15 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
16 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
17 placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
18 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such

6 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
7 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
8 property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
9 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
10 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
11 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
12 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
13 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
14 of such reduction.
15 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
16 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
17 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
18 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
19 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
20 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
21 over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
22 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
23 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
24 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
25 employment for the first year in which they file
26 employment records with the Illinois Department of

SB2422- 62 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b

13 liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
14 credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
15 be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
16 liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
17 provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
18 The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
19 year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
20 credits from more than one taxable year that are available
21 to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
22 first.
23 For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
24 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
25 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
26 the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there

SB2422- 63 -LRB102 11515 HLH 16849 b

7 completed. The credit for additional investments beyond

13occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
14ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
15year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
16 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
172 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
18year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
19given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
20remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
21applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
22liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
23credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
24following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
25that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
26than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the

17 This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year
18 for which there is a liability. If there is a credit under
19 this subsection from more than one tax year that is
20 available to offset a liability, the earliest credit
21 arising under this subsection shall be applied first. A
22 credit allowed under this subsection may be sold to a
23 buyer as part of a sale of all or part of the remediation
24 site for which the credit was granted. The purchaser of a
