939939 Except that, before the credit is allowed, a taxpayer, who meets the
940940 definition of a manufacturing business in K.S.A. 74-50,114(d), and

10151015 Kansas income tax act on the taxpayer's Kansas taxable income or the
10161016 premium tax or privilege fees imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 40-252, and

10201020 the amount thereof that exceeds such tax liability may be carried forward
10211021 for credit in the succeeding taxable year or years until the total amount of
10221022 the tax credit is used, except that no such tax credit shall be carried
10231023 forward for deduction after the 16

10251025 taxable year succeeding the taxable
10261026 year in which such credit initially was claimed, and no carryforward shall
10271027 be allowed for deduction in any succeeding taxable year unless the
10281028 taxpayer certifies under oath that the taxpayer continues to meet the
10291029 requirements of K.S.A. 74-50,131, and amendments thereto, and this act.
10301030 In no event shall any credit allowed under this section that expired during
10311031 any taxable year prior to the taxable year commencing January 1, 2011, be
10321032 revived under the provisions of this act. No tax credit shall be allowed
10331033 pursuant to this subsection for tax years commencing after December 31,
10341034 2025, except that for taxpayers who have excess unused credit pursuant to
10351035 a credit initially claimed under this subsection for a tax year commencing
10361036 before January 1, 2026, the credit carryforward provisions of this
10371037 subsection still apply.
10381038 (f) For projects placed into service on and after January 1, 2021, a
10391039 taxpayer may transfer up to 50% of the tax credit allowed under subsection
10401040 (e), as provided in this subsection. The taxpayer may make a transfer to
10411041 one or more transferees, but the total of all transfers shall not exceed 50%
10421042 of the taxpayer's tax credit. The taxpayer shall make the transfer or
10431043 transfers within a single tax year. The credit may be transferred to any
10441044 individual or entity and shall be claimed in the year the credit was
10451045 transferred against the transferee's tax liability for the income tax under the
10461046 Kansas income tax act or the premium tax or privilege fees imposed
10471047 pursuant to K.S.A. 40-252, and amendments thereto, or the privilege tax as
10481048 measured by the net income of financial institutions imposed pursuant to
10491049 article 11 of chapter 79 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments
10501050 thereto. The amount of the credit that exceeds the transferee's tax liability
10511051 for such year may be carried forward for credit in the succeeding taxable
10521052 year or years until the total amount of the tax credit is used, except that no
10531053 such credit shall be carried forward for deduction after the 16
10541054 th
10551055 taxable
10561056 year succeeding the taxable year in which such credit was initially
10571057 claimed. The taxpayer or transferee shall provide such documentation of
10581058 the tax credit transfer to the secretary of revenue as may be required by the
10591059 secretary. No transfer of credits shall be allowed pursuant to this
10601060 subsection after December 31, 2025. The credit carryforward provisions

11201120 Sec. 8. K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 79-32,306 is hereby amended to read as
11211121 follows: 79-32,306. (a) For all taxable years commencing after December
11221122 31, 2022, and ending as provided in subsection (i), there shall be allowed a
11231123 credit against the income tax liability imposed pursuant to the Kansas
11241124 income tax act, the privilege tax liability imposed upon any national
11251125 banking association, state bank, trust company or savings and loan
11261126 association pursuant to article 11 of chapter 79 of the Kansas Statutes
11271127 Annotated, and amendments thereto, or the premium tax liability imposed
11281128 upon an insurance company pursuant to K.S.A. 40-252, and amendments
11291129 thereto, for each qualified development for each year of the credit period,
11301130 in an amount equal to the federal tax credit allocated or allowed by the
11311131 KHRC to such qualified development, except that there shall be no
11321132 reduction in the credit allowable in the first year of the credit period due to
11331133 the calculation in section 42(f)(2) of the federal internal revenue code.
11341134 (b) The KHRC shall issue an allocation certificate to an owner of a
11351135 qualified development to which a credit has been allocated. The KHRC
11361136 shall issue an allocation certificate to the qualified development
11371137 simultaneously with issuance of federal form 8609 with respect to the
11381138 federal tax credits.
11391139 (c) All allocations shall be made pursuant to the qualified allocation
11401140 plan.
11411141 (d) If an owner of a qualified development receiving an allocation of
11421142 a credit is a pass-through entity, the owner may allocate the credit among
11431143 its partners or members in any manner agreed to by such persons
11441144 regardless of whether: (1) Any such person is allocated or allowed any
11451145 portion of any federal tax credit with respect to the qualified project; (2)

11921192 federal income tax purposes, if the partner or member would be considered
11931193 a partner or member under applicable state law governing such entity and
11941194 has been admitted as a partner or member on or prior to the date for filing
11951195 the qualified taxpayer's tax return, including any amendments to such tax
11961196 return, with respect to the year of the credit. In the case of multiple tiers of
11971197 pass-through entities, the credit may be so allocated through any number
11981198 of pass-through entities in any manner agreed by the owners of such pass-
11991199 through entities, none of which shall be considered a transfer. Any pass-
12001200 through entity allocating a credit to its partners or members shall attach a
12011201 pass-through certification to its tax return annually. Each partner or
12021202 member shall be allowed to claim or further allocate such amount subject
12031203 to any restrictions set forth in this act.
12041204 (e) An owner of a qualified development to which a credit has been
12051205 allocated and each qualified taxpayer to which such owner has allocated a
12061206 portion of such credit, if any, shall file with their state income, privilege or
12071207 premium tax return a copy of the allocation certificate issued by the
12081208 KHRC with respect to such qualified development and a copy of any pass-
12091209 through certification, as prescribed by the director.
12101210 (f) No credit shall be allocated pursuant to this act unless the qualified
12111211 development is the subject of a recorded restrictive covenant requiring the
12121212 development to be maintained and operated as a qualified development
12131213 and is in accordance with the accessibility and adaptability requirements of
12141214 the federal tax credits and title VIII of the civil rights act of 1968, as
12151215 amended by the fair housing amendments act of 1988, for a period of 15
12161216 taxable years, or such longer period as may be agreed to between the
12171217 KHRC and the owner of the qualified development, beginning with the
12181218 first taxable year of the credit period.
12191219 (g) The allocated credit amount may be taken against the income,
12201220 privilege or premium taxes imposed for each taxable year of the credit
12211221 period. Any amount of credit that exceeds the income, privilege or
12221222 premium tax liability of a qualified taxpayer for a taxable year may be
12231223 carried forward as a credit against subsequent years' tax liability up to 11
12241224 tax years following the tax year in which the allocation was made and shall
12251225 be applied first to the earliest years possible. Any amount of the credit that
12261226 is not used shall not be refunded to the taxpayer.
12271227 (h) Unless otherwise provided in this act or the context or law
12281228 requires otherwise, the KHRC shall determine eligibility for a credit and
12291229 allocate credits in accordance with the standards and requirements set forth
12301230 in section 42 of the federal internal revenue code. Any combination of
12311231 federal tax credits and credits allowed pursuant to this act shall be the least
