1 shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
2 on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
3 the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
4 domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
5 and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
6 insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits

16 of all credits allowed under this Act, plus
17 (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of

19 company tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire

22 Municipal Code,
23 equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December
24 31, 2003, or 1.75% for taxable years ending on or after

2 will in no event increase the rates imposed under
3 subsections (b) and (d).
4 (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
5 subsection shall be applied first against the rates
6 imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed
7 by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
8 Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
9 has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
10 subsection (d).
11 This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of

15 Tax for investment in qualified property.
16 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
17 of the basis of qualified property placed in service
18 during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
19 in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
20 an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
21 qualified property placed in service during the taxable
22 year, provided such property is placed in service on or
23 after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
24 within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
25 preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
26 records filed with the Illinois Department of Employment

HB1578 - 11 - LRB103 04639 HLH 49647 b
1 Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be
2 deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the
3 first year in which they file employment records with the
4 Illinois Department of Employment Security. The provisions
5 added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored
6 by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of
7 existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,
8 the increase in base employment within Illinois over the
9 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit
10 shall be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
11 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
12 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
13 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
14 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
15 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
16 other than the year in which the property was placed in
17 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
18 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
19 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
20 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
21 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
22 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
23 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
24 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
25 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
26 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time

2 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
3 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
4 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
5 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
6 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i)
7 and (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
8 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
9 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
10 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
11 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
12 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
13 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
14 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
15 or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
16 carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
17 taxable years following the excess credit years. The
18 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
19 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
20 tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
21 credit shall be applied first.
22 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
23 which:
24 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
25 buildings and structural components of buildings and
26 signs that are real property, but not including land

7 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
8 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
9 property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
10 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
11 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
12 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
13 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
14 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
15 of such reduction.
16 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,

2 election, those credits shall be allocated among the
3 partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
4 set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,
5 and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the
6 allocated amount of the credits shall be allowed to the
7 partners for that taxable year. The partnership shall make
8 this election on its Personal Property Tax Replacement
9 Income Tax return for that taxable year. The election to
10 pass through the credits shall be irrevocable.
11 For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
12 2000, a partner that qualifies its partnership for a
13 subtraction under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of
14 subsection (d) of Section 203 or a shareholder that
15 qualifies a Subchapter S corporation for a subtraction
16 under subparagraph (S) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b)

13 subsection (f) to be determined in accordance with the
14 determination of income and distributive share of income
15 under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the

17 basis for such property. The credit shall be available
18 only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
19 service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment
20 Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
21 reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
22 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
23 tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit
24 shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
25 placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
26 the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the

2 excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
3 liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
4 credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
5 year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
6 from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
7 liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
8 applied first.
9 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
10 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
11 buildings and structural components of buildings;
12 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

21 (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
22 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
23 the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
24 subsection (e).
25 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
26 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
HB1578 - 18 - LRB103 04639 HLH 49647 b
HB1578- 19 -LRB103 04639 HLH 49647 b HB1578 - 19 - LRB103 04639 HLH 49647 b
HB1578 - 19 - LRB103 04639 HLH 49647 b
1 income tax purposes.
2 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
3 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
4 placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
5 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
6 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
7 date of such increase in basis.
8 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
9 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
10 (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
11 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
12 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
13 any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise
14 Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
15 after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
16 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
17 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
18 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
19 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
20 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
21 property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
22 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
23 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
24 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
25 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
26 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
HB1578 - 19 - LRB103 04639 HLH 49647 b

2 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
3 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
4 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
5 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
6 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
7 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
8 over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
9 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
10 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
11 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
12 employment for the first year in which they file
13 employment records with the Illinois Department of
14 Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
15 employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
16 than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
17 percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
18 0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
19 exceed 0.5%.
20 (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
21 2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
22 construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
23 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
24 Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
25 The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
26 liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or

1 credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
2 be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
3 liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
4 provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
5 The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
6 year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
7 credits from more than one taxable year that are available
8 to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
9 first.
10 For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
11 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
12 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
13 the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
14 shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
15 determined in accordance with the determination of income
16 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and
17 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
18 The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under
19 the Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9)

20 subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
21 shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
22 recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
23 imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
24 reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
25 taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such

25 of Revenue of the assignor's intent to sell the
26 remediation site and the amount of the tax credit to be

19 for the taxable year of the partnership or Subchapter S
20 corporation for which an election is in effect ending
21 within or with the taxable year of the partner or
22 shareholder in an amount equal to 4.95% times the partner
23 or shareholder's distributive share of the net income of
24 the electing partnership or Subchapter S corporation, but

6 if the partner is a partnership or Subchapter S
7 corporation then its partners or shareholders) in
8 accordance with the determination of income and
9 distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
10 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. If the
11 amount of the credit allowed under this paragraph exceeds
12 the partner's or shareholder's liability for tax imposed

14 for the taxable year, such excess shall be treated as an
15 overpayment for purposes of Section 909 of this Act.

20 an income tax return under this Act for such taxable year
21 if the only source of net income of the individual (or the
22 individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a
23 joint return) is from an entity making the election under
24 paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or
25 shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the
26 individual's liability for the tax imposed under
HB1578 - 44 - LRB103 04639 HLH 49647 b

5 election under paragraph (1) is liable for the
6 entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the
7 electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full
8 amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the
9 partners or shareholders shall be liable to pay the tax
10 assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner
11 or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment
12 based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share
13 of the net income of the partnership over the total net
14 income of the partnership. If the partnership or
15 Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed
16 (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an
17 amount of such tax is paid by the partners or
18 shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the
19 partnership or corporation.
20 (7) Foreign tax. For purposes of the credit allowed
21 under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a
22 partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
23 which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
24 similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
25 considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
26 extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the

13 Sections 803 and 804 of this Act if the amount payable as
14 estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500.

5 (j) For reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
6 2023, if a private employer grants all of its employees the
7 option of taking a paid leave of absence of at least 30 days
8 for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone marrow
9 donor, then the private employer may take a credit against the
10 payments due under this Section in an amount equal to the
11 amount withheld under this Section with respect to wages paid
12 while the employee is on organ donation leave, not to exceed
13 $1,000 in withholdings for each employee who takes organ
14 donation leave. To be eligible for the credit, such a leave of
15 absence must be taken without loss of pay, vacation time,
16 compensatory time, personal days, or sick time for at least
17 the first 30 days of the leave of absence. The private employer
18 shall adopt rules governing organ donation leave, including
19 rules that (i) establish conditions and procedures for
20 requesting and approving leave and (ii) require medical
21 documentation of the proposed organ or bone marrow donation
22 before leave is approved by the private employer. A private
23 employer must provide, in the manner required by the
24 Department, documentation from the employee's medical
25 provider, which the private employer receives from the
26 employee, that verifies the employee's organ donation. The

HB1578 - 61 - LRB103 04639 HLH 49647 b
1 private employer must also provide, in the manner required by
2 the Department, documentation that shows that a qualifying
3 organ donor leave policy was in place and offered to all
4 qualifying employees at the time the leave was taken. For the
5 private employer to receive the tax credit, the employee
6 taking organ donor leave must allow for the applicable medical
7 records to be disclosed to the Department. If the private
8 employer cannot provide the required documentation to the
9 Department, then the private employer is ineligible for the
10 credit under this Section. A private employer must also
11 provide, in the form required by the Department, any
12 additional documentation or information required by the
13 Department to administer the credit under this Section. The
14 credit under this subsection (j) shall be taken within one
15 year after the date upon which the organ donation leave
16 begins. If the leave taken spans into a second tax year, the
17 employer qualifies for the allowable credit in the later of
18 the 2 years. If the amount of credit exceeds the tax liability
19 for the year, the excess may be carried and applied to the tax
20 liability for the 3 taxable years following the excess credit
21 year. The tax credit shall be applied to the earliest year for
22 which there is a tax liability. If there are credits for more
23 than one year that are available to offset liability, the
24 earlier credit shall be applied first.
25 Nothing in this subsection (j) prohibits a private
26 employer from providing an unpaid leave of absence to its

1 employees for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone
2 marrow donor; however, if the employer's policy provides for
3 fewer than 30 days of paid leave for organ or bone marrow
4 donation, then the employer shall not be eligible for the
5 credit under this Section.
6 As used in this subsection (j):
7 "Organ" means any biological tissue of the human body that
8 may be donated by a living donor, including, but not limited
9 to, the kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, intestine, bone, skin,
