3historic structure, provided that the total amount of such
4expenditures must (i) equal $5,000 or more or (ii) exceed the

6year in which the qualified rehabilitation plan was placed in
7service, the excess amount may be carried forward for deduction
8from the taxpayer's income tax liability in the next succeeding
9year or years until the total amount of the credit has been
10used, except that a credit may not be carried forward for
11deduction after the twentieth taxable year after the taxable
12year in which the qualified rehabilitation plan was placed in
13service. Upon completion and review of the project, the
14Division shall issue a single certificate in the amount of the
15eligible credits equal to 25% of the qualified expenditures
16incurred during the eligible taxable years. At the time the
17certificate is issued, an issuance fee up to the maximum amount

2amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability for the year,

4liability of the 20 taxable years following the excess credit
5year.
6    (d) If the taxpayer is (i) a corporation having an election
7in effect under Subchapter S of the federal Internal Revenue
8Code, (ii) a partnership, or (iii) a limited liability company,
9the credit provided under this Act may be claimed by the
10shareholders of the corporation, the partners of the
11partnership, or the members of the limited liability company in
12the same manner as those shareholders, partners, or members
13account for their proportionate shares of the income or losses
14of the corporation, partnership, or limited liability company,
15or as provided in the by-laws or other executed agreement of
16the corporation, partnership, or limited liability company.
17Credits granted to a partnership, a limited liability company
18taxed as a partnership, or other multiple owners of property
19shall be passed through to the partners, members, or owners
20respectively on a pro rata basis or pursuant to an executed
21agreement among the partners, members, or owners documenting
22any alternate distribution method.
23    (e) If a recapture event occurs during the recapture period
24with respect to a qualified historic structure, then for any
25taxable year in which the credits are allowed as specified in

14    after commencement of the recapture period, then the
15    recapture percentage is 60%;
16        (4) if the recapture event occurs within the fourth
