Effective 1-1-2020.

Sec. 11. (a) A taxpayer may claim a credit against the taxpayer's state tax liability for a taxable year only if the corporation awards a credit to the taxpayer and enters into an agreement with the taxpayer as set forth under this chapter. The corporation may establish an application period for applying for awards. If an application period is established, the corporation shall establish policies and procedures necessary to administer the application period. The corporation may deny an application for a credit under this chapter in its sole discretion. A taxpayer may not seek judicial review of a decision by the corporation to deny a taxpayer's application for a credit.

(b) The amount of the credit that a taxpayer may claim is equal to:

(1) the qualified investment made by the taxpayer during the taxable year and approved by the corporation in an agreement entered into under section 17 of this chapter; multiplied by

(2) the applicable credit percentage determined by the corporation under section 17(b) and 17(c) of this chapter.

(c) If a pass through entity may claim a credit under this section but does not have state tax liability against which the tax credit may be applied, a shareholder, partner, beneficiary, or member of the pass through entity may claim a credit equal to:

(1) the credit determined for the pass through entity for the taxable year; multiplied by

(2) the percentage of the pass through entity's distributive income that the shareholder, partner, beneficiary, or member may claim.

The credit provided under this subsection is in addition to a credit that a shareholder, partner, beneficiary, or member of a pass through entity may claim. However, a pass through entity and a shareholder, partner, beneficiary, or member of a pass through entity may not claim more than one (1) credit for the qualified investment.

(d) Notwithstanding subsections (a), (b), and (c), a pass through entity (other than an entity described in IC 6-3-1-35(1)) and its partners, beneficiaries, or members may allocate the credit among its partners, beneficiaries, or members of the pass through entity as provided by written agreement without regard to their sharing of other tax or economic attributes. Such agreements shall be filed with the corporation not later than fifteen (15) days after execution. The pass through entity shall also provide a copy of such agreements, a list of partners, beneficiaries, or members of the pass through entity, and their respective shares of the credit resulting from such agreements in the manner prescribed by the department of state revenue.
