Sec. 4. The following apply if sufficient excess state reserves are available to provide an automatic taxpayer refund to each taxpayer eligible for a refund:
(1) To qualify for a refund, a taxpayer:
(A) must have filed an Indiana resident individual adjusted gross income tax return for the taxpayer's taxable year ending in the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which a determination is made under section 1 of this chapter that the state has excess reserves; and
(B) must have adjusted gross income tax liability for the taxpayer's taxable year ending in the calendar year in which a determination is made under section 1 of this chapter that the state has excess reserves.
(2) The amount of the refund is determined for each qualifying taxpayer as follows:
STEP ONE: Determine the total amount of excess state reserves that under section 3 of this chapter are available to provide automatic taxpayer refunds.
STEP TWO: Determine the total number of taxpayers that qualify for a refund under subdivision (1).
STEP THREE: Determine the result of:
(A) the STEP ONE result; divided by
(B) the STEP TWO result;
as rounded to the nearest dollar.
(3) The refund is a refundable credit that shall first be applied as a credit against adjusted gross income tax liability in the taxpayer's taxable year in which a refund is provided. Any remaining unused credit shall be refunded to the taxpayer. The credit may not be carried forward.
(4) If an individual and the individual's spouse are both qualifying taxpayers for purposes of this section for a taxable year and file a joint Indiana resident individual adjusted gross income tax return for the taxable year:
(A) the individual and the individual's spouse are considered two (2) taxpayers for purposes of determining the amount of the refund under subdivision (2) for a qualifying taxpayer; and
(B) the amount of the refund that the individual and the individual's spouse are entitled to claim is equal to the amount of any refund determined under subdivision (2) for a qualifying taxpayer, multiplied by two (2).
