| 6 |
| (35 ILCS 5/216 new)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 216. Armed service support credit.
|
| 8 |
| (a) Intent. The armed service support credit authorized by |
| 9 |
| this Section is
to
compensate the homeland spouse of a |
| 10 |
| serviceperson called up to active duty for
the time
and effort |
| 11 |
| needed to deal with the absent spouse's interests while the |
| 12 |
| absent
spouse is
away on active duty.
|
| 13 |
| (b) Credit. For taxable years ending on or after December |
| 14 |
| 31, 2004, each
taxpayer is entitled to a credit against the tax |
| 15 |
| imposed by subsections (a) and
(b) of
Section 201 in the amount |
| 16 |
| of $1,000 per taxable year if, at any time during the
taxable
|
| 17 |
| year, the
taxpayer's spouse served on active duty in the |
| 18 |
| Illinois
National Guard or a
reserve component of the armed |
| 19 |
| forces of the United States.
|
| 20 |
| (c) Carryforward. If the amount of the credit exceeds the |

| and applied to the tax liability of the 10
taxable years
|
| 23 |
| following the excess credit year. The credit shall be applied |
| 24 |
| to the earliest
year for which
there is a tax liability. If |
| 25 |
| there are credits from more than one tax year that
are |
| 26 |
| available
to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be |
| 27 |
| applied first.

| 29 |
| provisions of Section
250.
