AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 848

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 848 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 1. Short title; effectiveness. This Act may be cited as the Tax Shelter Voluntary Compliance Act. This Act is of no force and effect unless and until House Bill 4266 of the 93rd General Assembly becomes law in the same form as it passed both houses of the General Assembly on April 29, 2004.

Section 5. Tax shelter voluntary compliance program.

(a) In general. The Department shall establish and administer a tax shelter voluntary compliance program as provided in this Section for eligible taxpayers subject to tax under the Illinois Income Tax Act. The tax shelter voluntary compliance program shall be conducted from October 15, 2004 to November 30, 2004 and shall apply to tax liabilities under Section 201 of the Illinois Income Tax Act attributable to the use of abusive tax avoidance transactions for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2004. The Department shall adopt rules, issue forms and instructions, and take such other actions as it deems necessary to implement the provisions of this Act. Any correspondence mailed by the Department to a taxpayer at the taxpayer's last known address outlining the tax shelter voluntary compliance program constitutes a "contact" within the meaning of Sections 1005(b)(6) and 1005(c) of the Illinois Income Tax Act for taxable years to which this Act applies.

(b) Election. An eligible taxpayer that meets the requirements of subsection (c) of this Section with respect to any taxable year to which this Act applies may elect to participate in the tax shelter voluntary compliance program under either (but not both) paragraph (1) or paragraph (2) of this subsection. Such election shall be made in the form and manner prescribed by the Department and, once made, shall be irrevocable.

(1) Voluntary compliance without appeal. If a taxpayer elects to participate under this paragraph, then: (i) the Department shall abate and not seek to collect any penalty that may be applicable to the underreporting or underpayment of Illinois income tax attributable to the use of abusive tax avoidance transactions for such taxable year; (ii) except as otherwise provided in this Act, the Department shall not seek civil or criminal prosecution against the taxpayer for such taxable year with respect to abusive tax avoidance transactions; and (iii) the taxpayer may not file a claim for credit or refund of amounts paid for such taxable year in connection with abusive tax avoidance transactions. No penalty may be waived or abated under this Act if the penalty imposed relates to an amount of Illinois income tax assessed prior to October 15, 2004.

(2) Voluntary compliance with appeal. If an eligible taxpayer elects to participate under this paragraph, then: (i) the Department shall abate and not seek to collect the penalties imposed under Sections 1005(b) and 1005(c) of the Illinois Income Tax Act with respect to such taxable year; (ii) except as otherwise provided in this Act, the Department shall not seek civil or criminal prosecution against the taxpayer for such taxable year with respect to abusive tax avoidance transactions; and (iii) the taxpayer may file a claim for credit or refund as provided in the Illinois Income Tax Act with respect to such taxable year. Notwithstanding Section 909(e) of the Illinois Income Tax Act, the taxpayer may not file a written protest until after either of the following: (i) the Department issues a notice of denial, or (ii) the earlier of (1) the date which is 180 days after the date of a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the transactions at issue, or (2) the date that is 4 years after the date the claim for refund was filed or one year after full payment of all tax, including penalty and interest. No penalty may be waived or abated under this Act if the penalty imposed relates to an amount of Illinois income tax assessed prior to October 15, 2004.

(c) Eligible taxpayer. The tax shelter voluntary compliance program applies to any taxpayer who, during the period from October 15, 2004 to November 30, 2004, does both of the following:

(1) Files an amended return for the taxable year for which the taxpayer used an abusive tax avoidance transaction to under report the taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability, reporting the total Illinois net income and tax for such taxable year computed without regard to any abusive tax avoidance transactions; and

(2) Makes full payment of the entire amount of Illinois income tax and interest due for such taxable year (not including a payment made under protest as provided in Section 2a.1 of the State Officers and Employees Money Disposition Act (30 ILCS 230/2a.1)).

Section 10. Abusive tax avoidance transaction. For purposes of this Act, the term "abusive tax avoidance transaction" means a plan or arrangement devised for the principal purpose of avoiding federal or Illinois income tax. Abusive tax avoidance transactions include, but are not limited to, "listed transactions", as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(2), and Illinois listed transactions as defined in Section 501(b)(2)(A)(2) of the Illinois Income Tax Act.

Section 15. Article 2 Credits. In the event a taxpayer does not participate in the tax shelter voluntary compliance program with respect to a taxable year in which there exists a deficiency attributable in whole or in part to an abusive tax avoidance transaction, the following apply:

(i) Any Article 2 credit otherwise earned in such taxable year shall be disallowed.

(ii) Any Article 2 credit carried over or back to such taxable year shall be disallowed.

Any Article 2 credit disallowed under item (i) or (ii), or both, of this Section shall be deemed absorbed in such taxable year, and shall not be carried forward or back to any other taxable year.

Section 20. The fact of a taxpayer's participation in the tax shelter voluntary compliance program shall not be considered evidence that the taxpayer in fact engaged in an abusive tax avoidance transaction.

Section 25. Application of Act. Nothing in this Act applies to small businesses as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

Section 905. If and only if House Bill 4266 of the 93rd General Assembly becomes law in the same form as passed both houses of the General Assembly on April 29, 2004, the Statute on Statutes is amended by changing Section 1.23 as follows:

(5 ILCS 70/1.23) (from Ch. 1, par. 1024)

Sec. 1.23. General Revenue Law of Illinois; economic substance doctrine.

(a) The "General Revenue Law of Illinois", or any equivalent expression, when used with reference to revenue, shall be deemed to refer to the Property Tax Code and all existing and future amendments thereto and modifications thereof, and all rules now or hereafter adopted pursuant thereto.

(b) Economic substance doctrine. In applying the provisions of Chapter 35 (relating to revenue), the economic substance doctrine shall apply.

The economic substance doctrine means the common law doctrine under which tax benefits with respect to a transaction or arrangement are not allowable if the transaction or arrangement does not have economic substance or lacks a business purpose (including a transaction or arrangement in which an entity is disregarded as lacking economic substance). For purposes of applying the economic substance doctrine, a transaction or arrangement shall be considered as having economic substance only if (i) the transaction changes in a meaningful way (apart from its tax effects), the taxpayer's economic position, and (ii) the taxpayer has a substantial nontax purpose for entering into such transaction and the transaction is a reasonable means of accomplishing such purpose.

(c) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

The preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act.

(e) Gross income; adjusted gross income; taxable income.

(1) In general. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) and subsection (b) (3), for purposes of this Section and Section 803(e), a taxpayer's gross income, adjusted gross income, or taxable income for the taxable year shall mean the amount of gross income, adjusted gross income or taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. With respect to taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2004, for purposes of determining the amount of gross income, adjusted gross income, or taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax purposes: (i) there shall be taken into account the depreciation adjustment and the basis adjustment required by paragraph (2)(I) of this subsection; (ii) the provisions of Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code apply to the extent that the Section is elected for federal income tax purposes with respect to "Section 179 property", except that the dollar limitation of Section 179(b)(1) shall be deemed to be $25,000 for all taxable years and the reduction in limitation under Section 179(b)(2) shall be deemed to be $200,000 for all taxable years, without any adjustment under Section 179(b)(5); and (iii) the gross income, adjusted gross income, or taxable income shall be determined as if the Internal Revenue Code required that, with respect to property placed in service in taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2004, the depreciation deduction determined under Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code must be determined under Section 168(g)(2) (including the straight-line method and without any special allowance under Section 168(k)). Taxable income may be less than zero. However, for taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess of addition modifications over subtraction modifications for the taxable year. For taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, taxable income may never be an amount in excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that when taxable income of a corporation (other than a Subchapter S corporation), trust, or estate is less than zero and addition modifications, other than those provided by subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an addition modification must be made under those subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax purposes shall mean:

(A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the Internal Revenue Code;

(B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code, insurance company taxable income;

(E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of corporations filing a consolidated income tax return for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes, taxable income determined as if such corporation had filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate taxable income shall be determined as if the election provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue Code had been in effect for all such years;

(F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative corporation or association, the taxable income of such organization determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal Revenue Code;

(H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership, taxable income determined in accordance with Section 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable income shall take into account those items which are required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated but which would be taken into account by an individual in calculating his taxable income.

(I) Depreciation and basis adjustments for all taxpayers.

(A) Depreciation adjustment. With respect to property placed in service in taxable years ending before December 31, 2004, the depreciation deduction allowed under Section 167 of the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to property as to which the deduction is determined under Section 168 of the Code, shall be determined as if the Internal Revenue Code required a switch to the straight-line method beginning with that property's adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes as of the beginning of the last taxable year beginning before December 31, 2004.

(B) Basis adjustment. With respect to property subject to subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, the adjustment otherwise required under Section 1016 of the Internal Revenue Code shall take into account the depreciation adjustment required under subparagraph (A).

(3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or business has been classified as business income and in a later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then all expenses, without limitation, deducted in prior years related to that asset or business that generated the non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as business income in the year of the disposition of the asset or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding taxable years.

(f) Valuation limitation amount.

(1) In general. The valuation limitation amount referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and (d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:

(B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of capital gain) for all property in respect of which such gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of such gain included in the amount determined under subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).

(2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.

(A) If the fair market value of property referred to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for determining gain) for such property on that date (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized and reportable for federal income tax purposes in respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of such property.

(B) If the fair market value of property referred to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for such property is that amount which bears the same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the property for federal income tax purposes for the taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding period for the property.

(C) The Department shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of this paragraph.

(i) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

(B) The entire amount of such loss shall be carried to the earliest taxable year to which such loss may be carried. The amount of such loss which shall be carried to each of the other taxable years shall be the excess, if any, of the amount of such loss over the sum of the deductions for carryback or carryover of such loss allowable for each of the prior taxable years to which such loss may be carried.

(b) Any loss determined under subsection (a) of this Section must be carried back or carried forward in the same manner for purposes of subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act as for purposes of subsections (c) and (d) of Section 201 of this Act.

For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by this Section, persons other than residents who derive business income from this State and one or more other states shall compute their apportionment factor by weighting their property, payroll, and sales factors as provided in subsection (h) of this Section.

(1) Property factor.

(A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the average value of the person's real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the trade or business in this State during the taxable year and the denominator of which is the average value of all the person's real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the trade or business during the taxable year.

(B) Property owned by the person is valued at its original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at 8 times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual rental rate paid by the person less any annual rental rate received by the person from sub-rentals.

(C) The average value of property shall be determined by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the taxable year but the Director may require the averaging of monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably required to reflect properly the average value of the person's property.

(2) Payroll factor.

(A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount paid in this State during the taxable year by the person for compensation, and the denominator of which is the total compensation paid everywhere during the taxable year.

(B) Compensation is paid in this State if:

(i) The individual's service is performed entirely within this State;

(ii) The individual's service is performed both within and without this State, but the service performed without this State is incidental to the individual's service performed within this State; or

(iii) Some of the service is performed within this State and either the base of operations, or if there is no base of operations, the place from which the service is directed or controlled is within this State, or the base of operations or the place from which the service is directed or controlled is not in any state in which some part of the service is performed, but the individual's residence is in this State.

Beginning with taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1992, for residents of states that impose a comparable tax liability on residents of this State, for purposes of item (i) of this paragraph (B), in the case of persons who perform personal services under personal service contracts for sports performances, services by that person at a sporting event taking place in Illinois shall be deemed to be a performance entirely within this State.

(3) Sales factor.

(A) The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total sales of the person in this State during the taxable year, and the denominator of which is the total sales of the person everywhere during the taxable year.

(B) Sales of tangible personal property are in this State if:

(i) The property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser, other than the United States government, within this State regardless of the f. o. b. point or other conditions of the sale; or

(ii) The property is shipped from an office, store, warehouse, factory or other place of storage in this State and either the purchaser is the United States government or the person is not taxable in the state of the purchaser; provided, however, that premises owned or leased by a person who has independently contracted with the seller for the printing of newspapers, periodicals or books shall not be deemed to be an office, store, warehouse, factory or other place of storage for purposes of this Section. For taxable years ending before December 31, 2004, sales Sales of tangible personal property are not in this State if the seller and purchaser would be members of the same unitary business group but for the fact that either the seller or purchaser is a person with 80% or more of total business activity outside of the United States and the property is purchased for resale.

(B-1) Patents, copyrights, trademarks, and similar items of intangible personal property.

(i) Gross receipts from the licensing, sale, or other disposition of a patent, copyright, trademark, or similar item of intangible personal property are in this State to the extent the item is utilized in this State during the year the gross receipts are included in gross income.

(ii) Place of utilization.

(I) A patent is utilized in a state to the extent that it is employed in production, fabrication, manufacturing, or other processing in the state or to the extent that a patented product is produced in the state. If a patent is utilized in more than one state, the extent to which it is utilized in any one state shall be a fraction equal to the gross receipts of the licensee or purchaser from sales or leases of items produced, fabricated, manufactured, or processed within that state using the patent and of patented items produced within that state, divided by the total of such gross receipts for all states in which the patent is utilized.

(II) A copyright is utilized in a state to the extent that printing or other publication originates in the state. If a copyright is utilized in more than one state, the extent to which it is utilized in any one state shall be a fraction equal to the gross receipts from sales or licenses of materials printed or published in that state divided by the total of such gross receipts for all states in which the copyright is utilized.

(III) Trademarks and other items of intangible personal property governed by this paragraph (B-1) are utilized in the state in which the commercial domicile of the licensee or purchaser is located.

(iii) If the state of utilization of an item of property governed by this paragraph (B-1) cannot be determined from the taxpayer's books and records or from the books and records of any person related to the taxpayer within the meaning of Section 267(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 267, the gross receipts attributable to that item shall be excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of the sales factor.

(B-2) Gross receipts from the license, sale, or other disposition of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and similar items of intangible personal property may be included in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor only if gross receipts from licenses, sales, or other disposition of such items comprise more than 50% of the taxpayer's total gross receipts included in gross income during the tax year and during each of the 2 immediately preceding tax years; provided that, when a taxpayer is a member of a unitary business group, such determination shall be made on the basis of the gross receipts of the entire unitary business group.

(C) For taxable years ending before December 31, 2004, sales Sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), and (B-1), and (B-2), are in this State if:

(i) The income-producing activity is performed in this State; or

(ii) The income-producing activity is performed both within and without this State and a greater proportion of the income-producing activity is performed within this State than without this State, based on performance costs.

(C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2004, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1), and (B-2), are in this State if the purchaser is in this State or the sale is otherwise attributable to this State's marketplace. The following examples are illustrative:

(i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property are in this State if the property is located in this State.

(ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible personal property are in this State if the property is located in this State during the rental period. Sales from the lease or rental of tangible personal property that is characteristically moving property, including, but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this State to the extent that the property is used in this State.

(iii) Sales of intangible personal property are in this State if the purchaser uses or realizes benefit from the property in this State. If the purchaser uses or realizes benefit from the the property both within and without this State, the gross receipts from the sale shall be divided among those states having jurisdiction to tax the sale in proportion to the use or benefit in each state. If the proportionate use or benefit in this State cannot be determined, the sale shall be excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of the sales factor.

(iv) Sales of services are in this State if the benefit of the service is enjoyed or realized in this State. If the benefit of the service is enjoyed or realized both within and without this State, the gross receipts from the sale shall be divided among those states having jurisdiction to tax the sale in proportion to the benefit of service enjoyed or realized in each state. If the proportionate benefit in this State cannot be determined, the sale shall be excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of the sales factor. The Department may adopt rules prescribing where the benefit of specific types of service, including, but not limited to, telecommunications, broadcast, cable, advertising, publishing, and utility service, is enjoyed or realized.

(D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1995, the following items of income shall not be included in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor: dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in construing this Section for taxable years ending before December 31, 1995.

(E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that a taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for any tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January 1, 1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent such refund is the result of applying the provisions of paragraph (B-1) or (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business group, such election shall apply to all members of such group for every tax year such group is in existence, but shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during which that taxpayer is not a member of such group.

(b) Insurance companies.

(1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon property or risk in this State, and the denominator of which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this subsection, the term "direct premiums written" means the total amount of direct premiums written, assessments and annuity considerations, and surplus line contracts, but excluding deposit-type funds, as reported for the taxable year on the annual statement filed by the company with the Illinois Director of Insurance in the form approved by the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners as filed by the taxpayer with the Illinois Department of Insurance or, if no report is filed with the Illinois Department of Insurance, as filed by the taxpayer with its state of domicile. If no such annual report is filed with any of the United States for a particular year, "direct premiums written" shall be determined by applying the instructions to the Illinois annual report form for that year or such other form as may be prescribed in lieu thereof.

(2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums written by an insurance company consists of premiums for reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk everywhere. For taxable years ending before December 31, 2004, for purposes of this paragraph, premiums written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable, may, at the election of the company, be determined on the basis of the proportion which premiums written for reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for insurance upon property or risk in this State by each ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such ceding company for the taxable year.

(c) Financial organizations.

(1) In general. For taxable years ending before December 31, 2004, business Business income of a financial organization shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is its business income from sources within this State, and the denominator of which is its business income from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the business income of a financial organization from sources within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the adjusted income of an international banking facility as determined in paragraph (2):

(A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for financial services rendered within this State;

(B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or other securities managed within this State;

(C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois customers, which are received within this State;

(D) Interest charged to customers at places of business maintained within this State for carrying debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and

(E) Any other gross income resulting from the operation as a financial organization within this State. In computing the amounts referred to in paragraphs (A) through (E) of this subsection, any amount received by a member of an affiliated group (determined under Section 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code but without reference to whether any such corporation is an "includible corporation" under Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) from another member of such group shall be included only to the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the recipient directly related thereto.

(2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years ending before December 31, 2004:

(A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an international banking facility is its income reduced by the amount of the floor amount.

(B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of the international banking facility by a fraction, not greater than one, which is determined as follows:

(i) The numerator shall be:

The average aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the financial organization's loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers (except where secured primarily by real estate) and to foreign governments and other foreign official institutions, as reported for its branches, agencies and offices within the state on its "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A, Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980, minus

The average aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of an international banking facility), as reported by the financial institution for its branches, agencies and offices within the state, on the corresponding Schedule and lines of the Consolidated Report of Condition for the current taxable year, provided, however, that in no case shall the amount determined in this clause (the subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the preceding clause (the minuend); and

(ii) the denominator shall be the average aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the international banking facility's loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers (except where secured primarily by real estate) and to foreign governments and other foreign official institutions, which were recorded in its financial accounts for the current taxable year.

(C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities is altered so that the information required for determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution shall notify the Department and the Department may, by regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the use of an alternative source for such information. The financial institution shall also notify the Department should its international banking facility fail to qualify as such, in whole or in part, or should there be any amendment or change to the Consolidated Report of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent such amendment or change alters the information used in determining the floor amount.

(3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2004, the business income of a financial organization shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year. "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3) means gross income, including net taxable gain on disposition of assets, including securities and money market instruments, when derived from transactions and activities in the regular course of the financial organization's trade or business. The following examples are illustrative:

(i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or tangible personal property are in this State if the property is located in this State during the rental period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible personal property that is characteristically moving property, including, but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this State to the extent that the property is used in this State.

(ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on disposition, and other receipts from assets in the nature of loans that are secured primarily by real estate or tangible personal property are attributable to this State's marketplace if the security is located in this State.

(iii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on disposition, and other receipts from consumer loans that are not secured by real or tangible personal property are this State if the debtor is a resident of this State.

(iv) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans and installment obligations that are not unsecured by real or tangible personal property are in this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be applied in this State. If it cannot be determined where the funds are to be applied, the income and receipts are attributable to this State's marketplace if the office of the borrower from which the loan was procured in the regular course of business is located in this State. If the location of this office cannot be determined, such receipts shall be excluded from the numerator and denominator of the sales factor.

(v) Interest income, fees, gains on disposition, service charges, and other receipts from credit card receivables are in this State if the card charges are regularly billed to a customer in this State.

(vi) Receipts from the performance of fiduciary and other services are in this State if the benefit of the service is enjoyed or realized in this State. If the benefit of the service is enjoyed or realized both within and without this State, the gross receipts from the sale shall be divided among those states having jurisdiction to tax the sale in proportion to the benefit of service enjoyed or realized in each state. If the proportionate benefit in this State cannot be determined, the sale shall be excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of the gross receipts factor.

(vii) Receipts from the issuance of travelers checks and money orders are in this State if the checks and money orders are issued from a location within this State.

(viii) In the case of a financial organization that accepts deposits, receipts from investments and from money market instruments are apportioned to this State based on the ratio that the total deposits of the financial organization (including all members of the financial organization's unitary group) from this State, its residents, any business with an office or other place of business in this State, and its political subdivisions, agencies, and instrumentalities bear to total deposits everywhere. For purposes of this subdivision, deposits must be attributed to this State under the preceding sentence, whether or not the deposits are accepted or maintained by the financial organization at locations within this State. In the case of a financial organization that does not accept deposits, receipts from investments in securities and from money market instruments shall be excluded from the numerator and the denominator of the gross receipts factor.

(4) As used in subparagraph (3), "deposit" includes but is not limited to:

(i) the unpaid balance of money or its equivalent received or held by a financial institution in the usual course of business and for which it has given or is obligated to give credit, either conditionally or unconditionally, to a commercial, checking, savings, time, or thrift account whether or not advance notice is required to withdraw the credited funds, or which is evidenced by its certificate of deposit, thrift certificate, investment certificate, or certificate of indebtedness, or other similar name, or a check or draft drawn against a deposit account and certified by the financial organization, or a letter of credit or a traveler's check on which the financial organization is primarily liable. However, without limiting the generality of the term "money or its equivalent", any such account or instrument must be regarded as evidencing the receipt of the equivalent of money when credited or issued in exchange for checks or drafts or for a promissory note upon which the person obtaining the credit or instrument is primarily or secondarily liable, or for a charge against a deposit account, or in settlement of checks, drafts, or other instruments forwarded to the bank for collection;

(ii) trust funds received or held by the financial organization, whether held in the trust department or held or deposited in any other department of the financial organization;

It does not include funds received by the financial organization for immediate application to the reduction of an indebtedness to the receiving financial organization, or under condition that the receipt of the funds immediately reduces or extinguishes the indebtedness;

(iv) outstanding drafts, including advice of another financial organization, cashier's checks, money orders, or other officer's checks issued in the usual course of business for any purpose, but not including those issued in payment for services, dividends, or purchases or other costs or expenses of the financial organization itself; and

(d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending before December 31, 2004, business Business income derived from furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):

(1) Such business income (other than that derived from transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1 passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers and freight, the fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the person's

(A) relative railway operating income from total passenger and total freight service, as reported to the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of transportation by railroad, and

(B) relative gross receipts from passenger and freight transportation, in case of transportation other than by railroad.

(2) Such business income derived from transportation by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel of oil, 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified quantity of any other substance, the distance of 1 mile for a consideration.

(3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2004, business income derived from providing transportation services other than airline services shall be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any movement or shipment of people, goods, mail , oil, gas, or any other substance that both originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance passing through, into, or out of this State, that is determined by the ratio that the miles traveled in this State bears to total miles from point of origin to point of destination and (b) the denominator of which shall be all revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance. If a person derives business income from activities other than the provision of transportation services, only its business income from transportation services shall be apportioned according to this subsection.

If a person derives business income from activities other than the provision of airline services only, its business income from airline services shall be apportioned according to this subsection.

(e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection (a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this State by one or more members of the group, the business income attributable to this State by any such member or members shall be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.

(f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of subsection (h) do not fairly represent the extent of a person's business activity in this State, the person may petition for, or the Director may, without a petition, permit or require, in respect of all or any part of the person's business activity, if reasonable:

(1) Separate accounting;

(2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;

(3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors which will fairly represent the person's business activities in this State; or

(4) The employment of any other method to effectuate an equitable allocation and apportionment of the person's business income.

(g) Cross reference. For allocation of business income by residents, see Section 301(a).

(h) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998, the apportionment factor of persons who apportion their business income to this State under subsection (a) shall be equal to:

(1) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998 and before December 31, 1999, 16 2/3% of the property factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll factor plus 66 2/3% of the sales factor;

(2) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999 and before December 31, 2000, 8 1/3% of the property factor plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83 1/3% of the sales factor;

(3) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2000, the sales factor.

If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998 and before December 31, 2000, the denominator of the payroll, property, or sales factor is zero, the apportionment factor computed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that year shall be divided by an amount equal to 100% minus the percentage weight given to each factor whose denominator is equal to zero.

(i) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

With respect to listed transactions in which the taxpayer participated for taxable years ending before December 31, 2004, disclosure shall be made by the due date (including extensions) of the first return required under Section 502 of this Act due after the effective date of this Public Act of the 93rd General Assembly. With respect to transactions in which the taxpayer participated for taxable years ending on and after December 31, 2004, disclosure shall be made at the time disclosure is required under Treasury regulations (Section 1.6011-4).

(2) Illinois transactions. Any taxpayer that has participated in an "Illinois reportable transaction" is required to disclose such transaction on a return or statement at the time, and in the form and manner prescribed by the Department. Disclosure is required for each taxable year in which the taxpayer participates in an Illinois reportable transaction. If such reportable transaction results in a loss which is carried back to a prior year, such disclosure must be attached to the taxpayer's amended tax return for that prior year.

(A) Definitions.

(i) Illinois reportable transaction. The term "Illinois reportable transaction" means any transaction of a type that the Department shall by regulation determine as having a potential for avoidance or evasion of the tax imposed by this Act, including deductions, basis, credits, entity classification, dividend elimination, or ommission of income. An Illinois reportable transaction includes (but is not limited to) "Illinois listed transactions" as defined in this subparagraph (A), "confidential transactions" as defined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) and "transactions with contractual protection" as defined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(4).

(ii) Illinois listed transactions. The term "Illinois listed transaction" means a reportable transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, one of the types of reportable transactions and that has been specifically identified by the Department as a tax avoidance transaction.

(iii) Participated. For purposes of paragraph (2) of this subsection (b), the term "participated" shall be defined for each type of Illinois reportable transaction in the regulation or other published guidance identifying that type of reportable transaction or listed transaction.

(B) The Department shall identify and publish Illinois listed transactions through the use of Informational Bulletins or other published guidance.

(c) Inconsistent return position. Pursuant to regulations prescribed by the Department, any taxpayer that reports for any taxable year any item for Illinois income tax purposes in a manner inconsistent with the manner in which the same item is reported or reflected on any return filed for the same taxable year with another state with respect to a tax on or measured by net income or with the manner in which a substantially identical item was reported or reflected for Illinois income tax purposes for the immediately preceding taxable year (inconsistent return position), shall disclose such inconsistent return position on a return or statement in the form and manner prescribed by the Department. An inconsistent return position shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

(1) The reporting of the same item as business income on the Illinois return and as nonbusiness income on the return filed in another state, or as nonbusiness income on the Illinois return and as business income on the return filed in another state (except that an item reported as business income in Illinois by virtue of the election provided under Section 1501(a)(1) of this Act shall not be deemed to give rise to an inconsistent return position).

(2) The reporting of the same item of gross receipts as attributable to another state on the Illinois return and as attributable to Illinois on the return filed in another state.

(3) The reporting of the same person as a member of the taxpayer's unitary business on the Illinois return and as not a member of the unitary business on the return filed in another state or the reporting of the same person as not a member of the taxpayer's unitary business on the Illinois return and as a member of the unitary business on the return filed in another state.

(d) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

(35 ILCS 5/502) (from Ch. 120, par. 5-502)

Sec. 502. Returns and notices.

(a) In general. A return with respect to the taxes imposed by this Act shall be made by every person for any taxable year:

(1) for which such person is liable for a tax imposed by this Act, or

(2) in the case of a resident or in the case of a corporation which is qualified to do business in this State, for which such person is required to make a federal income tax return, regardless of whether such person is liable for a tax imposed by this Act. However, this paragraph shall not require a resident to make a return if such person has an Illinois base income of the basic amount in Section 204(b) or less and is either claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or is claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return under this Act.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), a nonresident whose Illinois income tax liability under subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) of Section 201 of this Act is paid in full after taking into account the credits allowed under subsection (f) of this Section or allowed under Section 709.5 of this Act shall not be required to file a return under this subsection (a).

(b) Fiduciaries and receivers.

(1) Decedents. If an individual is deceased, any return or notice required of such individual under this Act shall be made by his executor, administrator, or other person charged with the property of such decedent.

(2) Individuals under a disability. If an individual is unable to make a return or notice required under this Act, the return or notice required of such individual shall be made by his duly authorized agent, guardian, fiduciary or other person charged with the care of the person or property of such individual.

(3) Estates and trusts. Returns or notices required of an estate or a trust shall be made by the fiduciary thereof.

(4) Receivers, trustees and assignees for corporations. In a case where a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, or assignee, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, by operation of law, or otherwise, has possession of or holds title to all or substantially all the property or business of a corporation, whether or not such property or business is being operated, such receiver, trustee, or assignee shall make the returns and notices required of such corporation in the same manner and form as corporations are required to make such returns and notices.

(c) Joint returns by husband and wife.

(1) Except as provided in paragraph (3), if a husband and wife file a joint federal income tax return for a taxable year they shall file a joint return under this Act for such taxable year and their liabilities shall be joint and several, but if the federal income tax liability of either spouse is determined on a separate federal income tax return, they shall file separate returns under this Act.

(2) If neither spouse is required to file a federal income tax return and either or both are required to file a return under this Act, they may elect to file separate or joint returns and pursuant to such election their liabilities shall be separate or joint and several.

(3) If either husband or wife is a resident and the other is a nonresident, they shall file separate returns in this State on such forms as may be required by the Department in which event their tax liabilities shall be separate; but they may elect to determine their joint net income and file a joint return as if both were residents and in such case, their liabilities shall be joint and several.

(4) Innocent spouses.

(A) However, for tax liabilities arising and paid prior to August 13, 1999, an innocent spouse shall be relieved of liability for tax (including interest and penalties) for any taxable year for which a joint return has been made, upon submission of proof that the Internal Revenue Service has made a determination under Section 6013(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, for the same taxable year, which determination relieved the spouse from liability for federal income taxes. If there is no federal income tax liability at issue for the same taxable year, the Department shall rely on the provisions of Section 6013(e) to determine whether the person requesting innocent spouse abatement of tax, penalty, and interest is entitled to that relief.

(B) For tax liabilities arising on and after August 13, 1999 or which arose prior to that date, but remain unpaid as of that date, if an individual who filed a joint return for any taxable year has made an election under this paragraph, the individual's liability for any tax shown on the joint return shall not exceed the individual's separate return amount and the individual's liability for any deficiency assessed for that taxable year shall not exceed the portion of the deficiency properly allocable to the individual. For purposes of this paragraph:

(i) An election properly made pursuant to Section 6015 of the Internal Revenue Code shall constitute an election under this paragraph, provided that the election shall not be effective until the individual has notified the Department of the election in the form and manner prescribed by the Department.

(ii) If no election has been made under Section 6015, the individual may make an election under this paragraph in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, provided that no election may be made if the Department finds that assets were transferred between individuals filing a joint return as part of a scheme by such individuals to avoid payment of Illinois income tax and the election shall not eliminate the individual's liability for any portion of a deficiency attributable to an error on the return of which the individual had actual knowledge as of the date of filing.

(iii) In determining the separate return amount or portion of any deficiency attributable to an individual, the Department shall follow the provisions in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 6015 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(iv) In determining the validity of an individual's election under subparagraph (ii) and in determining an electing individual's separate return amount or portion of any deficiency under subparagraph (iii), any determination made by the Secretary of the Treasury, by the United States Tax Court on petition for review of a determination by the Secretary of the Treasury, or on appeal from the United States Tax Court under Section 6015 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding criteria for eligibility or under subsection (d) of Section 6015 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the allocation of any item of income, deduction, payment, or credit between an individual making the federal election and that individual's spouse shall be conclusively presumed to be correct. With respect to any item that is not the subject of a determination by the Secretary of the Treasury or the federal courts, in any proceeding involving this subsection, the individual making the election shall have the burden of proof with respect to any item except that the Department shall have the burden of proof with respect to items in subdivision (ii).

(v) Any election made by an individual under this subsection shall apply to all years for which that individual and the spouse named in the election have filed a joint return.

(vi) After receiving a notice that the federal election has been made or after receiving an election under subdivision (ii), the Department shall take no collection action against the electing individual for any liability arising from a joint return covered by the election until the Department has notified the electing individual in writing that the election is invalid or of the portion of the liability the Department has allocated to the electing individual. Within 60 days (150 days if the individual is outside the United States) after the issuance of such notification, the individual may file a written protest of the denial of the election or of the Department's determination of the liability allocated to him or her and shall be granted a hearing within the Department under the provisions of Section 908. If a protest is filed, the Department shall take no collection action against the electing individual until the decision regarding the protest has become final under subsection (d) of Section 908 or, if administrative review of the Department's decision is requested under Section 1201, until the decision of the court becomes final.

(d) Partnerships. Every partnership having any base income allocable to this State in accordance with section 305(c) shall retain information concerning all items of income, gain, loss and deduction; the names and addresses of all of the partners, or names and addresses of members of a limited liability company, or other persons who would be entitled to share in the base income of the partnership if distributed; the amount of the distributive share of each; and such other pertinent information as the Department may by forms or regulations prescribe. The partnership shall make that information available to the Department when requested by the Department.

(e) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1985, and before December 31, 1993, taxpayers that are corporations (other than Subchapter S corporations) having the same taxable year and that are members of the same unitary business group may elect to be treated as one taxpayer for purposes of any original return, amended return which includes the same taxpayers of the unitary group which joined in the election to file the original return, extension, claim for refund, assessment, collection and payment and determination of the group's tax liability under this Act. This subsection (e) does not permit the election to be made for some, but not all, of the purposes enumerated above. For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1987, corporate members (other than Subchapter S corporations) of the same unitary business group making this subsection (e) election are not required to have the same taxable year.

For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1993, taxpayers that are corporations (other than Subchapter S corporations) and that are members of the same unitary business group shall be treated as one taxpayer for purposes of any original return, amended return which includes the same taxpayers of the unitary group which joined in filing the original return, extension, claim for refund, assessment, collection and payment and determination of the group's tax liability under this Act.

(f) The Department may promulgate regulations to permit nonresident individual partners of the same partnership, nonresident Subchapter S corporation shareholders of the same Subchapter S corporation, and nonresident individuals transacting an insurance business in Illinois under a Lloyds plan of operation, and nonresident individual members of the same limited liability company that is treated as a partnership under Section 1501 (a)(16) of this Act, to file composite individual income tax returns reflecting the composite income of such individuals allocable to Illinois and to make composite individual income tax payments. The Department may by regulation also permit such composite returns to include the income tax owed by Illinois residents attributable to their income from partnerships, Subchapter S corporations, insurance businesses organized under a Lloyds plan of operation, or limited liability companies that are treated as partnership under Section 1501(a)(16) of this Act, in which case such Illinois residents will be permitted to claim credits on their individual returns for their shares of the composite tax payments. This paragraph of subsection (f) applies to taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1987.

For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1999, the Department may, by regulation, also permit any persons transacting an insurance business organized under a Lloyds plan of operation to file composite returns reflecting the income of such persons allocable to Illinois and the tax rates applicable to such persons under Section 201 and to make composite tax payments and shall, by regulation, also provide that the income and apportionment factors attributable to the transaction of an insurance business organized under a Lloyds plan of operation by any person joining in the filing of a composite return shall, for purposes of allocating and apportioning income under Article 3 of this Act and computing net income under Section 202 of this Act, be excluded from any other income and apportionment factors of that person or of any unitary business group, as defined in subdivision (a)(27) of Section 1501, to which that person may belong.

For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2004, every nonresident shall be allowed a credit against his or her liability under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 for any amount of tax reported on a composite return and paid on his or her behalf under this subsection (f). Residents (other than persons transacting an insurance business organized under a Lloyds plan of operation) may claim a credit for taxes reported on a composite return and paid on their behalf under this subsection (f) only as permitted by the Department by rule.

(f-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2004, the Department may promulgate rules to provide that, when a partnership or Subchapter S corporation has made an error in determining the amount of any item of income, deduction, addition, subtraction, or credit required to be reported on its return that affects the liability imposed under this Act on a partner or shareholder, the partnership or Subchapter S corporation may report the changes in liabilities of its partners or shareholders and claim a refund of the resulting overpayments, or pay the resulting underpayments, on behalf of its partners and shareholders.

(g) The Department may adopt rules to authorize the electronic filing of any return required to be filed under this Section.

(h) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

(35 ILCS 5/709.5 new)

Sec. 709.5. Withholding by partnerships, Subchapter S corporations, and trusts.

(a) In general. For each taxable year ending on or after December 31, 2004, every partnership (other than a publicly traded partnership under Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code), Subchapter S corporation, and trust must withhold from each nonresident partner, shareholder, or beneficiary (other than a partner, shareholder, or beneficiary included on a composite return filed by the partnership or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year under subsection (f) of Section 502 of this Act) an amount equal to the distributable share of the business income apportionable to Illinois of that partner, shareholder, or beneficiary under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code, whether or not distributed, multiplied by the applicable rates of tax for that partner or shareholder under subsections (a) through (d) of Section 201 of this Act.

(b) Credit for taxes withheld. Any amount withheld under subsection (a) of this Section and paid to the Department shall be treated as a payment of the estimated tax liability or of the liability for withholding under this Section of the partner, shareholder, or beneficiary to whom the income is distributable for the taxable year in which that person incurred a liability under this Act with respect to that income.

(c) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

Every payor required to deduct and withhold tax under Section 710 (and until January 1, 1989, Sections 708 and 709) shall be subject to the same reporting requirements regarding taxes withheld and the same monthly and quarter monthly (weekly) payment requirements as an employer subject to the provisions of Section 701. For purposes of monthly and quarter monthly (weekly) payments, the total tax withheld under Sections 701, 708, 709 and 710 shall be considered in the aggregate.

(a-5) Every partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or trust required to withhold tax under Section 709.5 shall report the amounts withheld and the partners, shareholders, or beneficiaries from whom the amounts were withheld, and pay over the amount withheld, no later than the due date (without regard to extensions) of the tax return of the partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or trust for the taxable year.

(b) Information statement. Every payor required to deduct and withhold tax under Section 710 (and until January 1, 1989, Sections 708 and 709) shall furnish in duplicate to each party entitled to the credit for such withholding under subsection (b) of Section 709.5 (c) of Section 708, subsection (c) of Section 709, and subsection (b) of Section 710, respectively, on or before January 31 of the succeeding calendar year for amounts withheld under Section 710 or the due date (without regard to extensions) of the return of the partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or trust for the taxable year for amounts withheld under Section 709.5 for the taxable year, a written statement in such form as the Department may by regulation prescribe showing the amount of the payments, the amount deducted and withheld as tax, and such other information as the Department may prescribe. A copy of such statement shall be filed by the party entitled to the credit for the withholding under subsection (b) of Section 709.5 (c) of Section 708, subsection (c) of Section 709, or subsection (b) of Section 710 with his return for the taxable year to which it relates.

Sec. 712. Payor's Liability For Withheld Taxes. Every payor who deducts and withholds or is required to deduct and withhold tax under Sections 709.5 or Section 710 (and until January 1, 1989, Sections 708 and 709) is liable for such tax. For purposes of assessment and collection, any amount withheld or required to be withheld and paid over to the Department, and any penalties and interest with respect thereto, shall be considered the tax of the payor. Any amount of tax actually deducted and withheld under Sections 709.5 or Section 710 (and until January 1, 1989, Sections 708 and 709) shall be held to be a special fund in trust for the Department. No payee shall have any right of action against his payor in respect of any money deducted and withheld and paid over to the Department in compliance or in intended compliance with Sections and 709.5 or Section 710 (and until January 1, 1989, Sections 708 and 709).

For purposes of this Section, the tax on account of which an amount is required to be deducted and withheld is the tax of the individual or individuals who are entitled to a credit under subsection (b) of Section 709.5 (c) of Section 708, subsection (c) of Section 709, or subsection (b) of Section 710 for the withheld tax.

(35 ILCS 5/804) (from Ch. 120, par. 8-804)

Sec. 804. Failure to Pay Estimated Tax.

(a) In general. In case of any underpayment of estimated tax by a taxpayer, except as provided in subsection (d) or (e), the taxpayer shall be liable to a penalty in an amount determined at the rate prescribed by Section 3-3 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act upon the amount of the underpayment (determined under subsection (b)) for each required installment.

(b) Amount of underpayment. For purposes of subsection (a), the amount of the underpayment shall be the excess of:

(1) the amount of the installment which would be required to be paid under subsection (c), over

(2) the amount, if any, of the installment paid on or before the last date prescribed for payment.

(c) Amount of Required Installments.

(1) Amount.

(A) In General. Except as provided in paragraph (2), the amount of any required installment shall be 25% of the required annual payment.

(B) Required Annual Payment. For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term "required annual payment" means the lesser of

(i) 90% of the tax shown on the return for the taxable year, or if no return is filed, 90% of the tax for such year, or

(ii) 100% of the tax shown on the return of the taxpayer for the preceding taxable year if a return showing a liability for tax was filed by the taxpayer for the preceding taxable year and such preceding year was a taxable year of 12 months.

(2) Lower Required Installment where Annualized Income Installment is Less Than Amount Determined Under Paragraph (1).

(A) In General. In the case of any required installment if a taxpayer establishes that the annualized income installment is less than the amount determined under paragraph (1),

(i) the amount of such required installment shall be the annualized income installment, and

(ii) any reduction in a required installment resulting from the application of this subparagraph shall be recaptured by increasing the amount of the next required installment determined under paragraph (1) by the amount of such reduction, and by increasing subsequent required installments to the extent that the reduction has not previously been recaptured under this clause.

(B) Determination of Annualized Income Installment. In the case of any required installment, the annualized income installment is the excess, if any, of

(i) an amount equal to the applicable percentage of the tax for the taxable year computed by placing on an annualized basis the net income for months in the taxable year ending before the due date for the installment, over

(ii) the aggregate amount of any prior required installments for the taxable year.

(C) Applicable Percentage.

(D) Annualized Net Income; Individuals. For individuals, net income shall be placed on an annualized basis by:

(i) multiplying by 12, or in the case of a taxable year of less than 12 months, by the number of months in the taxable year, the net income computed without regard to the standard exemption for the months in the taxable year ending before the month in which the installment is required to be paid;

(ii) dividing the resulting amount by the number of months in the taxable year ending before the month in which such installment date falls; and

(iii) deducting from such amount the standard exemption allowable for the taxable year, such standard exemption being determined as of the last date prescribed for payment of the installment.

(E) Annualized Net Income; Corporations. For corporations, net income shall be placed on an annualized basis by multiplying by 12 the taxable income

(i) for the first 3 months of the taxable year, in the case of the installment required to be paid in the 4th month,

(ii) for the first 3 months or for the first 5 months of the taxable year, in the case of the installment required to be paid in the 6th month,

(iii) for the first 6 months or for the first 8 months of the taxable year, in the case of the installment required to be paid in the 9th month, and

(iv) for the first 9 months or for the first 11 months of the taxable year, in the case of the installment required to be paid in the 12th month of the taxable year,

then dividing the resulting amount by the number of months in the taxable year (3, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 11 as the case may be).

(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsections, the penalty imposed by subsection (a) shall not be imposed if the taxpayer was not required to file an Illinois income tax return for the preceding taxable year, or, for individuals, if the taxpayer had no tax liability for the preceding taxable year and such year was a taxable year of 12 months. The penalty imposed by subsection (a) shall also not be imposed on any underpayments of estimated tax due before the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1998 which underpayments are solely attributable to the change in apportionment from subsection (a) to subsection (h) of Section 304. The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998.

(e) The penalty imposed for underpayment of estimated tax by subsection (a) of this Section shall not be imposed to the extent that the Director Department or his or her designate determines, pursuant to Section 3-8 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act that the penalty should not be imposed.

(f) Definition of tax. For purposes of subsections (b) and (c), the term "tax" means the excess of the tax imposed under Article 2 of this Act, over the amounts credited against such tax under Sections 601(b) (3) and (4).

(g) Application of Section in case of tax withheld under Article 7 on compensation. For purposes of applying this Section :

(1) in the case of an individual, tax withheld from compensation under Article 7 for the taxable year shall be deemed a payment of estimated tax, and an equal part of such amount shall be deemed paid on each installment date for such taxable year, unless the taxpayer establishes the dates on which all amounts were actually withheld, in which case the amounts so withheld shall be deemed payments of estimated tax on the dates on which such amounts were actually withheld; .

(2) amounts timely paid by a partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or trust on behalf of a partner, shareholder, or beneficiary pursuant to subsection (f) of Section 502 or Section 709.5 and claimed as a payment of estimated tax shall be deemed a payment of estimated tax made on the last day of the taxable year of the partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or trust for which the income from the withholding is made was computed; and

(3) all other amounts pursuant to Article 7 shall be deemed a payment of estimated tax on the date the payment is made to the taxpayer of the amount from which the tax is withheld.

(g-5) Amounts withheld under the State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act. An individual who has amounts withheld under paragraph (10) of Section 4 of the State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act may elect to have those amounts treated as payments of estimated tax made on the dates on which those amounts are actually withheld.

(i) Short taxable year. The application of this Section to taxable years of less than 12 months shall be in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Department.

The changes in this Section made by Public Act 84-127 shall apply to taxable years ending on or after January 1, 1986.

(a) In general. Except as otherwise provided in this Act:

(1) A notice of deficiency shall be issued not later than 3 years after the date the return was filed, and

(2) No deficiency shall be assessed or collected with respect to the year for which the return was filed unless such notice is issued within such period.

(b) Substantial omission of items.

(1) Omission of more than 25% of income. If the taxpayer omits from base income an amount properly includible therein which is in excess of 25% of the amount of base income stated in the return, a notice of deficiency may be issued not later than 6 years after the return was filed. For purposes of this paragraph, there shall not be taken into account any amount which is omitted in the return if such amount is disclosed in the return, or in a statement attached to the return, in a manner adequate to apprise the Department of the nature and the amount of such item.

(2) Reportable transactions. If a taxpayer fails to include on any return or statement for any taxable year any information with respect to a reportable transaction or Illinois reportable transaction, as required under Section 501(b) of this Act, or fails to disclose an inconsistent return position, as required under Section 501(c) of this Act, a notice of deficiency may be issued not later than 6 years after the return is filed with respect to the taxable year in which the taxpayer participated in the reportable transaction or was required to disclose an inconsistent return position.

(c) No return or fraudulent return. If no return is filed or a false and fraudulent return is filed with intent to evade the tax imposed by this Act, a notice of deficiency may be issued at any time.

(d) Failure to report federal change. If a taxpayer fails to notify the Department in any case where notification is required by Section 304(c) or 506(b), or fails to report a change or correction which is treated in the same manner as if it were a deficiency for federal income tax purposes, a notice of deficiency may be issued (i) at any time or (ii) on or after August 13, 1999, at any time for the taxable year for which the notification is required or for any taxable year to which the taxpayer may carry an Article 2 credit, or a Section 207 loss, earned, incurred, or used in the year for which the notification is required; provided, however, that the amount of any proposed assessment set forth in the notice shall be limited to the amount of any deficiency resulting under this Act from the recomputation of the taxpayer's net income, Article 2 credits, or Section 207 loss earned, incurred, or used in the taxable year for which the notification is required after giving effect to the item or items required to be reported.

(e) Report of federal change.

(1) Before August 13, 1999, in any case where notification of an alteration is given as required by Section 506(b), a notice of deficiency may be issued at any time within 2 years after the date such notification is given, provided, however, that the amount of any proposed assessment set forth in such notice shall be limited to the amount of any deficiency resulting under this Act from recomputation of the taxpayer's net income, net loss, or Article 2 credits for the taxable year after giving effect to the item or items reflected in the reported alteration.

(2) On and after August 13, 1999, in any case where notification of an alteration is given as required by Section 506(b), a notice of deficiency may be issued at any time within 2 years after the date such notification is given for the taxable year for which the notification is given or for any taxable year to which the taxpayer may carry an Article 2 credit, or a Section 207 loss, earned, incurred, or used in the year for which the notification is given, provided, however, that the amount of any proposed assessment set forth in such notice shall be limited to the amount of any deficiency resulting under this Act from recomputation of the taxpayer's net income, Article 2 credits, or Section 207 loss earned, incurred, or used in the taxable year for which the notification is given after giving effect to the item or items reflected in the reported alteration.

(f) Extension by agreement. Where, before the expiration of the time prescribed in this Section for the issuance of a notice of deficiency, both the Department and the taxpayer shall have consented in writing to its issuance after such time, such notice may be issued at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. In the case of a taxpayer who is a partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or trust and who enters into an agreement with the Department pursuant to this subsection on or after January 1, 2003, a notice of deficiency may be issued to the partners, shareholders, or beneficiaries of the taxpayer at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. Any proposed assessment set forth in the notice, however, shall be limited to the amount of any deficiency resulting under this Act from recomputation of items of income, deduction, credits, or other amounts of the taxpayer that are taken into account by the partner, shareholder, or beneficiary in computing its liability under this Act. The period so agreed upon may be extended by subsequent agreements in writing made before the expiration of the period previously agreed upon.

(g) Erroneous refunds. In any case in which there has been an erroneous refund of tax payable under this Act, a notice of deficiency may be issued at any time within 2 years from the making of such refund, or within 5 years from the making of such refund if it appears that any part of the refund was induced by fraud or the misrepresentation of a material fact, provided, however, that the amount of any proposed assessment set forth in such notice shall be limited to the amount of such erroneous refund.

Beginning July 1, 1993, in any case in which there has been a refund of tax payable under this Act attributable to a net loss carryback as provided for in Section 207, and that refund is subsequently determined to be an erroneous refund due to a reduction in the amount of the net loss which was originally carried back, a notice of deficiency for the erroneous refund amount may be issued at any time during the same time period in which a notice of deficiency can be issued on the loss year creating the carryback amount and subsequent erroneous refund. The amount of any proposed assessment set forth in the notice shall be limited to the amount of such erroneous refund.

(h) Time return deemed filed. For purposes of this Section a tax return filed before the last day prescribed by law (including any extension thereof) shall be deemed to have been filed on such last day.

(i) Request for prompt determination of liability. For purposes of subsection (a)(1), in the case of a tax return required under this Act in respect of a decedent, or by his estate during the period of administration, or by a corporation, the period referred to in such Subsection shall be 18 months after a written request for prompt determination of liability is filed with the Department (at such time and in such form and manner as the Department shall by regulations prescribe) by the executor, administrator, or other fiduciary representing the estate of such decedent, or by such corporation, but not more than 3 years after the date the return was filed. This subsection shall not apply in the case of a corporation unless:

(1) (A) such written request notifies the Department that the corporation contemplates dissolution at or before the expiration of such 18-month period, (B) the dissolution is begun in good faith before the expiration of such 18-month period, and (C) the dissolution is completed;

(2) (A) such written request notifies the Department that a dissolution has in good faith been begun, and (B) the dissolution is completed; or

(3) a dissolution has been completed at the time such written request is made.

(j) Withholding tax. In the case of returns required under Article 7 of this Act (with respect to any amounts withheld as tax or any amounts required to have been withheld as tax) a notice of deficiency shall be issued not later than 3 years after the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the calendar year in which such withholding was required.

(k) Penalties for failure to make information reports. A notice of deficiency for the penalties provided by Subsection 1405.1(c) of this Act may not be issued more than 3 years after the due date of the reports with respect to which the penalties are asserted.

(l) Penalty for failure to file withholding returns. A notice of deficiency for penalties provided by Section 1004 of this Act for taxpayer's failure to file withholding returns may not be issued more than three years after the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the calendar year in which the withholding giving rise to taxpayer's obligation to file those returns occurred.

(m) Transferee liability. A notice of deficiency may be issued to a transferee relative to a liability asserted under Section 1405 during time periods defined as follows:

1) Initial Transferee. In the case of the liability of an initial transferee, up to 2 years after the expiration of the period of limitation for assessment against the transferor, except that if a court proceeding for review of the assessment against the transferor has begun, then up to 2 years after the return of the certified copy of the judgment in the court proceeding.

2) Transferee of Transferee. In the case of the liability of a transferee, up to 2 years after the expiration of the period of limitation for assessment against the preceding transferee, but not more than 3 years after the expiration of the period of limitation for assessment against the initial transferor; except that if, before the expiration of the period of limitation for the assessment of the liability of the transferee, a court proceeding for the collection of the tax or liability in respect thereof has been begun against the initial transferor or the last preceding transferee, as the case may be, then the period of limitation for assessment of the liability of the transferee shall expire 2 years after the return of the certified copy of the judgment in the court proceeding.

(n) Notice of decrease in net loss. On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly, no notice of deficiency shall be issued as the result of a decrease determined by the Department in the net loss incurred by a taxpayer under Section 207 of this Act unless the Department has notified the taxpayer of the proposed decrease within 3 years after the return reporting the loss was filed or within one year after an amended return reporting an increase in the loss was filed, provided that in the case of an amended return, a decrease proposed by the Department more than 3 years after the original return was filed may not exceed the increase claimed by the taxpayer on the original return.

(o) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

(2) No credit or refund shall be allowed or made with respect to the year for which the claim was filed unless such claim is filed within such period.

(b) Federal changes.

(1) In general. In any case where notification of an alteration is required by Section 506(b), a claim for refund may be filed within 2 years after the date on which such notification was due (regardless of whether such notice was given), but the amount recoverable pursuant to a claim filed under this Section shall be limited to the amount of any overpayment resulting under this Act from recomputation of the taxpayer's net income, net loss, or Article 2 credits for the taxable year after giving effect to the item or items reflected in the alteration required to be reported.

(2) Tentative carryback adjustments paid before January 1, 1974. If, as the result of the payment before January 1, 1974 of a federal tentative carryback adjustment, a notification of an alteration is required under Section 506(b), a claim for refund may be filed at any time before January 1, 1976, but the amount recoverable pursuant to a claim filed under this Section shall be limited to the amount of any overpayment resulting under this Act from recomputation of the taxpayer's base income for the taxable year after giving effect to the federal alteration resulting from the tentative carryback adjustment irrespective of any limitation imposed in paragraph (l) of this subsection.

(c) Extension by agreement. Where, before the expiration of the time prescribed in this section for the filing of a claim for refund, both the Department and the claimant shall have consented in writing to its filing after such time, such claim may be filed at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. The period so agreed upon may be extended by subsequent agreements in writing made before the expiration of the period previously agreed upon. In the case of a taxpayer who is a partnership, Subchapter S corporation, or trust and who enters into an agreement with the Department pursuant to this subsection on or after January 1, 2003, a claim for refund may be issued to the partners, shareholders, or beneficiaries of the taxpayer at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. Any refund allowed pursuant to the claim, however, shall be limited to the amount of any overpayment of tax due under this Act that results from recomputation of items of income, deduction, credits, or other amounts of the taxpayer that are taken into account by the partner, shareholder, or beneficiary in computing its liability under this Act.

(d) Limit on amount of credit or refund.

(1) Limit where claim filed within 3-year period. If the claim was filed by the claimant during the 3-year period prescribed in subsection (a), the amount of the credit or refund shall not exceed the portion of the tax paid within the period, immediately preceding the filing of the claim, equal to 3 years plus the period of any extension of time for filing the return.

(2) Limit where claim not filed within 3-year period. If the claim was not filed within such 3-year period, the amount of the credit or refund shall not exceed the portion of the tax paid during the one year immediately preceding the filing of the claim.

(e) Time return deemed filed. For purposes of this section a tax return filed before the last day prescribed by law for the filing of such return (including any extensions thereof) shall be deemed to have been filed on such last day.

(f) No claim for refund based on the taxpayer's taking a credit for estimated tax payments as provided by Section 601(b)(2) or for any amount paid by a taxpayer pursuant to Section 602(a) or for any amount of credit for tax withheld pursuant to Article 7 Section 701 may be filed more than 3 years after the due date, as provided by Section 505, of the return which was required to be filed relative to the taxable year for which the payments were made or for which the tax was withheld. The changes in this subsection (f) made by this amendatory Act of 1987 shall apply to all taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1969.

(g) Special Period of Limitation with Respect to Net Loss Carrybacks. If the claim for refund relates to an overpayment attributable to a net loss carryback as provided by Section 207, in lieu of the 3 year period of limitation prescribed in subsection (a), the period shall be that period which ends 3 years after the time prescribed by law for filing the return (including extensions thereof) for the taxable year of the net loss which results in such carryback (or, on and after August 13, 1999, with respect to a change in the carryover of an Article 2 credit to a taxable year resulting from the carryback of a Section 207 loss incurred in a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2000, the period shall be that period that ends 3 years after the time prescribed by law for filing the return (including extensions of that time) for that subsequent taxable year), or the period prescribed in subsection (c) in respect of such taxable year, whichever expires later. In the case of such a claim, the amount of the refund may exceed the portion of the tax paid within the period provided in subsection (d) to the extent of the amount of the overpayment attributable to such carryback. On and after August 13, 1999, if the claim for refund relates to an overpayment attributable to the carryover of an Article 2 credit, or of a Section 207 loss, earned, incurred (in a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2000), or used in a year for which a notification of a change affecting federal taxable income must be filed under subsection (b) of Section 506, the claim may be filed within the period prescribed in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) in respect of the year for which the notification is required. In the case of such a claim, the amount of the refund may exceed the portion of the tax paid within the period provided in subsection (d) to the extent of the amount of the overpayment attributable to the recomputation of the taxpayer's Article 2 credits, or Section 207 loss, earned, incurred, or used in the taxable year for which the notification is given.

(h) Claim for refund based on net loss. On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly, no claim for refund shall be allowed to the extent the refund is the result of an amount of net loss incurred under Section 207 of this Act that was not reported to the Department within 3 years of the due date (including extensions) of the return for the loss year on either the original return filed by the taxpayer or on amended return.

(i) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

Sec. 1001. Failure to File Tax Returns.

Such penalty shall be deemed assessed upon the date of filing of the return for the taxable year in which the taxpayer participates in the reportable transaction. A taxpayer shall not be considered to have complied with the requirements of Section 501(b)(1) of this Act unless the disclosure statement filed with the Department includes all of the information required to be disclosed with respect to a reportable transaction pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4 (26 CFR 1.6011-4) and regulations promulgated by the Department under Section 501(b)(1) of this Act. A taxpayer shall not be considered to have complied with the requirements of Section 501(b)(2) of this Act unless the disclosure required under such Section includes all of the information required to be disclosed under regulations promulgated by the Department pursuant to such Section.

In the case of a failure to comply with the requirements of Section 501(b)(1) with respect to a "listed transaction", or in the case of failure to properly disclose participation an Illinois listed transaction as defined under Section 501(b)(2) of this Act, the penalty under this subsection shall be $30,000 for each failure.

(3) Authority to Rescind Penalty. The Board of Appeals may rescind all or any portion of any penalty imposed by this subsection with respect to any violation, if all of the following apply:

(B) The person on whom the penalty is imposed has a history of complying with the requirements of this Act;

(C) It is shown that the violation is due to an unintentional mistake of fact;

(D) Imposing the penalty would be against equity and good conscience; and

(E) Rescinding the penalty would promote compliance with the requirements of this Act and effective tax administration.

The exercise of authority under this subparagraph (3) shall be at the sole discretion of the Board of Appeals and the Director. Notwithstanding any other law or rule of law, any determination under this subparagraph (3) may not be reviewed in any administrative or judicial proceeding.

(4) Coordination with other penalties. The penalty imposed by this subsection is in addition to any penalty imposed by this Act or the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.

(c) Penalty for failure to disclose inconsistent return position. Any taxpayer that fails to properly disclose an inconsistent return position with respect to any taxable year, as required under Section 501(c) of this Act, shall incur a penalty of $15,000 for each position not reported. Such penalty shall be deemed assessed upon the date of filing of the return for the taxable year with respect to which the taxpayer was required to disclose the inconsistent return position.

(d) The total penalty imposed under subsection (b) or subsection (c) of this Section with respect to any taxable year shall not exceed 10% of the increase in net income (or reduction in Illinois net loss under Section 207 of this Act) that would result had the taxpayer not participated in any reportable transaction or Illinois reportable transaction affecting its net income for such taxable year and reported each inconsistent return position in a manner that would cause it to report the greatest net income (or smallest Illinois net loss) on its Illinois income tax return for the taxable year.

(e) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

(3) Procedure for assessing the penalty for failure to file withholding returns or annual transmittal forms for wage and tax statements. The penalty imposed by Section 1004 will be asserted by the Department's issuance of a notice of deficiency. If taxpayer files a timely protest, the procedures of Section 908 will be followed. If taxpayer does not file a timely protest, the notice of deficiency will constitute an assessment pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 904.

(4) Assessment of penalty under Section 1005(a). The penalty imposed under Section 1005(a) shall be deemed assessed upon the assessment of the tax to which such penalty relates and shall be collected and paid on notice and demand in the same manner as the tax.

Sec. 1005. Penalty for Underpayment of Tax.

(a) In general. If any amount of tax required to be shown on a return prescribed by this Act is not paid on or before the date required for filing such return (determined without regard to any extension of time to file), a penalty shall be imposed in the manner and at the rate prescribed by the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act. The provisions of this subsection shall apply to all taxable years ending on or after January 1, 1986.

(b) Reportable transaction penalty. If a taxpayer has a reportable transaction understatement for any taxable year, there shall be added to the tax an amount equal to 20% of the amount of that understatement. Such penalty shall be deemed assessed upon the assessment of the tax to which such penalty relates and shall be collected and paid on notice and demand in the same manner as the tax.

(1) Reportable Transaction Understatement. For purposes of this Section, the term "reportable transaction understatement" means the sum of subparagraphs (A) and (B):

(A) The product of (i) the amount of the increase (if any) in Illinois net income (or decrease in Illinois net loss under Section 207 of this Act) that results from a difference between the proper tax treatment of an item to which this subsection applies and the taxpayer's treatment of that item (as shown on the taxpayer's return of tax), and (ii) the applicable tax rates under Section 201 of this Act.

(B) The amount of the decrease (if any) in the aggregate amount of credits determined under this Act (including credits that may be carried forward to other taxable years) that results from a difference between the taxpayer's treatment of an item to which this subsection applies (as shown on the taxpayer's return of tax) and the proper tax treatment of that item.

(2) Items to which subsection applies. This subsection applies to any item that is attributable to any listed transaction, as defined in Treasury Regulations, Section 1.6011-4, or Illinois listed transaction, as defined in Section 501(b)(2), and to any item that is attributable to any reportable transaction, as defined in Treasury Regulations, Section 1.6011-4, or Illinois reportable transaction, as defined in Section 501(b)(2) (other than a listed transaction or Illinois listed transaction) if a significant purpose of the transaction is the avoidance or evasion of federal or Illinois income tax.

(3) Subsection (b) shall be applied by substituting "30%" for "20%" with respect to the portion of any reportable transaction understatement with respect to the relevant facts affecting the tax treatment of the item that are not adequately disclosed in accordance with Section 501(b) of this Act. A taxpayer shall be treated as making adequate disclosure if the penalty for failure to disclose is rescinded under Section 1001(b)(4) of this Act.

(4) Reasonable Cause Exception.

(A) In general. No penalty shall be imposed under this subsection with respect to any portion of a reportable transaction understatement if it is shown that there was a reasonable cause for such portion and that the taxpayer acted in good faith with respect to such portion.

(B) Special rules. If the taxpayer has been contacted by the Department regarding the use of a potentially abusive tax shelter, subparagraph (A) does not apply unless all of the following requirements are met:

(i) There is or was substantial authority for such treatment; and

(ii) The taxpayer reasonably believed that such treatment was more likely than not the proper treatment.

(C) Rules relating to reasonable belief. For purposes of subparagraph (B), a taxpayer shall be treated as having a reasonable belief with respect to the tax treatment of an item only if such belief meets the requirements of this subparagraph (C):

(i) Such belief must be based on the facts and law that exist at the time the return of tax that includes that tax treatment is filed;

(ii) Such belief must relate solely to the taxpayer's chances of success on the merits of that treatment and does not take into account the possibility that the return will not be audited, that the treatment will not be raised on audit, or that the treatment will be resolved through settlement if it is raised; and

(iii) Such belief is not based, in whole or in part, on the opinion of a disqualified tax advisor or on a disqualified opinion.

(5) Definitions.

(i) Disqualified tax advisor. The term "disqualified tax advisor" is a tax advisor that meets any of the following conditions:

(I) Is a material advisor who participates in the organization, management, promotion, or sale of the transaction or who is related (within the meaning of Sections 267(b) or 707(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code) to any person who so participates;

(II) Is compensated directly or indirectly by a material advisor with respect to the transaction;

(III) Has a fee arrangement with respect to the transaction that is contingent on all or part of the intended tax benefits from the transaction being sustained; or

(IV) As determined under regulations prescribed by either the Secretary of the Treasury for federal income tax purposes or the Department, has a continuing financial interest with respect to the transaction.

(ii) Disqualified opinion. The term "disqualified opinion" means an opinion that meets any of the following conditions:

(I) Is based on unreasonable factual or legal assumptions (including assumptions as to future events);

(II) Unreasonably relies on representations, statements, findings, or agreements of the taxpayer or any other person;

(III) Does not identify and consider all relevant facts; or

(IV) Fails to meet any other requirement as either the Secretary of the Treasury for federal income tax purposes or the Department may prescribe.

(iii) Material Advisor. The term "material advisor" shall have substantially the same meaning as the same term is defined under Treasury Regulations Section 301.6112-1, (26 CFR 301.6112-1) and shall include any person that is a material advisor for federal income tax purposes under such regulation.

(6) Amended returns. Except as provided in Treasury Regulations, in no event may any tax treatment included with an amendment or supplement to a return of tax be taken into account in determining the amount of any reportable transaction understatement if the amendment or supplement is filed after the date the taxpayer is first contacted by either the Internal Revenue Service for federal income tax purposes or by the Department regarding the examination of the return or such other date as specified by the Department by regulation.

(7) Effective date. This subsection shall apply to taxable years ending on and after December 31, 2004, except that a reportable transaction understatement shall include an understatement (as determined under paragraph (1)) with respect to any taxable year for which the limitations period on assessment has not expired that is attributable to a transaction in which the taxpayer has invested after February 28, 2000 that becomes a listed transaction (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(2)) or Illinois listed transaction (as defined in Section 501(b)(2)(A)(2)) at any time.

(c) 100% Interest Penalty. If a taxpayer has been contacted by the Internal Revenue Service or the Department regarding the use of a potentially abusive tax shelter with respect to any taxable year for which the limitations period on assessment has not expired, and has a deficiency attributable to a potentially abusive tax shelter with respect to such taxable year or years, there shall be added to the tax an amount equal to 100% of the interest assessed under the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act for the period beginning on the last date prescribed by law for the payment of such tax and ending on the date of the notice of deficiency. Such penalty shall be deemed assessed upon the assessment of the interest to which such penalty relates and shall be collected and paid in the same manner as such interest. The penalty imposed by this subsection is in addition to any penalty imposed by this Act or the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act. For purposes of this subsection and subsection (d) of this Section, the term "potentially abusive tax shelter" means (i) any tax shelter (as defined in Section 6111 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to which registration is required under Section 6111 of the Internal Revenue Code and (ii) any entity, investment plan, arrangement, or other plan or arrangement that is of a type that the Internal Revenue Service or the Department determines by rule has a potential for tax avoidance or evasion (including, but not limited to, listed transactions and Illinois listed transactions).

(d) 150% Interest Rate. For taxable years ending on and after July 1, 2002, for any notice of deficiency issued before the taxpayer is contacted by the Internal Revenue Service or the Department regarding a potentially abusive tax shelter, the taxpayer is subject to interest as provided under Section 3-2 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, but with respect to any deficiency attributable to a potentially abusive tax shelter, the taxpayer is subject to interest at a rate of 150% of the otherwise applicable rate.

(e) Coordination with other penalties. Except as provided in regulations, the penalties imposed by this Section are in addition to any other penalty imposed by this Act or the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.

(f) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly do not apply to any small business as defined in the Small Business Advisory Act.

The provisions of this Section shall apply to all taxable years ending on or after January 1, 1986.

Sec. 1501. Definitions.

(a) In general. When used in this Act, where not otherwise distinctly expressed or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof:

(1) Business income. The term "business income" means all income that may be treated as apportionable business income under the Constitution of the United States. Business income is net of the deductions allocable thereto income arising from transactions and activity in the regular course of the taxpayer's trade or business, net of the deductions allocable thereto, and includes income from tangible and intangible property if the acquisition, management, and disposition of the property constitute integral parts of the taxpayer's regular trade or business operations. Such term does not include compensation or the deductions allocable thereto. For each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2003, a taxpayer may elect to treat all income other than compensation as business income. This election shall be made in accordance with rules adopted by the Department and, once made, shall be irrevocable.

(2) Commercial domicile. The term "commercial domicile" means the principal place from which the trade or business of the taxpayer is directed or managed.

(3) Compensation. The term "compensation" means wages, salaries, commissions and any other form of remuneration paid to employees for personal services.

(4) Corporation. The term "corporation" includes associations, joint-stock companies, insurance companies and cooperatives. Any entity, including a limited liability company formed under the Illinois Limited Liability Company Act, shall be treated as a corporation if it is so classified for federal income tax purposes.

(5) Department. The term "Department" means the Department of Revenue of this State.

(6) Director. The term "Director" means the Director of Revenue of this State.

(7) Fiduciary. The term "fiduciary" means a guardian, trustee, executor, administrator, receiver, or any person acting in any fiduciary capacity for any person.

(8) Financial organization.

(A) The term "financial organization" means any bank, bank holding company, trust company, savings bank, industrial bank, land bank, safe deposit company, private banker, savings and loan association, building and loan association, credit union, currency exchange, cooperative bank, small loan company, sales finance company, investment company, or any person which is owned by a bank or bank holding company. For the purpose of this Section a "person" will include only those persons which a bank holding company may acquire and hold an interest in, directly or indirectly, under the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.), except where interests in any person must be disposed of within certain required time limits under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.

(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, the term "bank" includes (i) any entity that is regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency under the National Bank Act, or by the Federal Reserve Board, or by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and (ii) any federally or State chartered bank operating as a credit card bank.

(C) For purposes of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, the term "sales finance company" has the meaning provided in the following item (i) or (ii):

(i) A person primarily engaged in one or more of the following businesses: the business of purchasing customer receivables, the business of making loans upon the security of customer receivables, the business of making loans for the express purpose of funding purchases of tangible personal property or services by the borrower, or the business of finance leasing. For purposes of this item (i), "customer receivable" means:

(a) a retail installment contract or retail charge agreement within the meaning of the Sales Finance Agency Act, the Retail Installment Sales Act, or the Motor Vehicle Retail Installment Sales Act;

(b) an installment, charge, credit, or similar contract or agreement arising from the sale of tangible personal property or services in a transaction involving a deferred payment price payable in one or more installments subsequent to the sale; or

(c) the outstanding balance of a contract or agreement described in provisions (a) or (b) of this item (i).

A customer receivable need not provide for payment of interest on deferred payments. A sales finance company may purchase a customer receivable from, or make a loan secured by a customer receivable to, the seller in the original transaction or to a person who purchased the customer receivable directly or indirectly from that seller.

(ii) A corporation meeting each of the following criteria:

(a) the corporation must be a member of an "affiliated group" within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, determined without regard to Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code;

(b) more than 50% of the gross income of the corporation for the taxable year must be interest income derived from qualifying loans. A "qualifying loan" is a loan made to a member of the corporation's affiliated group that originates customer receivables (within the meaning of item (i)) or to whom customer receivables originated by a member of the affiliated group have been transferred, to the extent the average outstanding balance of loans from that corporation to members of its affiliated group during the taxable year do not exceed the limitation amount for that corporation. The "limitation amount" for a corporation is the average outstanding balances during the taxable year of customer receivables (within the meaning of item (i)) originated by all members of the affiliated group. If the average outstanding balances of the loans made by a corporation to members of its affiliated group exceed the limitation amount, the interest income of that corporation from qualifying loans shall be equal to its interest income from loans to members of its affiliated groups times a fraction equal to the limitation amount divided by the average outstanding balances of the loans made by that corporation to members of its affiliated group;

(c) the total of all shareholder's equity (including, without limitation, paid-in capital on common and preferred stock and retained earnings) of the corporation plus the total of all of its loans, advances, and other obligations payable or owed to members of its affiliated group may not exceed 20% of the total assets of the corporation at any time during the tax year; and

(d) more than 50% of all interest-bearing obligations of the affiliated group payable to persons outside the group determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles must be obligations of the corporation.

This amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly is declaratory of existing law.

(D) Subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph are declaratory of existing law and apply retroactively, for all tax years beginning on or before December 31, 1996, to all original returns, to all amended returns filed no later than 30 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1996, and to all notices issued on or before the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1996 under subsection (a) of Section 903, subsection (a) of Section 904, subsection (e) of Section 909, or Section 912.

For purposes of applying subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph to all of those years, the election allowed by this subparagraph applies only to the taxpayer making the election and to those members of the taxpayer's unitary business group who are ordinarily required to apportion business income under the same subsection of Section 304 of this Act as the taxpayer making the election. No election allowed by this subparagraph shall be made under a claim filed under subsection (d) of Section 909 more than 30 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1996.

(F) Finance Leases. For purposes of this subsection, a finance lease shall be treated as a loan or other extension of credit, rather than as a lease, regardless of how the transaction is characterized for any other purpose, including the purposes of any regulatory agency to which the lessor is subject.

(27) Unitary business group. The term "unitary business group" means a group of persons related through common ownership whose business activities are integrated with, dependent upon and contribute to each other. The group will not include those members who, in taxable years on or after December 31, 2004, are foreign persons and whose business activity outside the United States is 80% or more of any such member's total business activity; for purposes of this paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304, business activity within the United States shall be measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of Section 304 except that, in the case of members ordinarily required to apportion business income by means of the 3 factor formula of property, payroll and sales specified in subsection (a) of Section 304, including the formula as weighted in subsection (h) of Section 304, such members shall not use the sales factor in the computation and the results of the property and payroll factor computations of subsection (a) of Section 304 shall be divided by 2 (by one if either the property or payroll factor has a denominator of zero). The computation required by the preceding sentence shall, in each case, involve the division of the member's property, payroll, or revenue miles in the United States, insurance premiums on property or risk in the United States, or financial organization business income from sources within the United States, as the case may be, by the respective worldwide figures for such items. Common ownership in the case of corporations is the direct or indirect control or ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the persons carrying on unitary business activity. Unitary business activity can ordinarily be illustrated where the activities of the members are: (1) in the same general line (such as manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing of tangible personal property, insurance, transportation or finance); or (2) are steps in a vertically structured enterprise or process (such as the steps involved in the production of natural resources, which might include exploration, mining, refining, and marketing); and, in either instance, the members are functionally integrated through the exercise of strong centralized management (where, for example, authority over such matters as purchasing, financing, tax compliance, product line, personnel, marketing and capital investment is not left to each member). For taxable years ending before December 31, 2004, a In no event, however, will any unitary business group shall not include members which are ordinarily required to apportion business income under different subsections of Section 304, except that for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987 and before December 31, 2004, this prohibition shall not apply to a unitary business group composed of one or more taxpayers all of which apportion business income pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 304, or all of which apportion business income pursuant to subsection (d) of Section 304, and a holding company of such single-factor taxpayers (see definition of "financial organization" for rule regarding holding companies of financial organizations). If a unitary business group would, but for the preceding sentence, include members that are ordinarily required to apportion business income under different subsections of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section 304 for which there are two or more members, there shall be a separate unitary business group composed of such members. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, a member is "ordinarily required to apportion business income" under a particular subsection of Section 304 if it would be required to use the apportionment method prescribed by such subsection except for the fact that it derives business income solely from Illinois. Pursuant to rules adopted by the Department, the members of a unitary business group (as defined in this Section) may jointly elect to include in the group for any taxable year ending on or after December 31, 2004, a passive income affiliate, as defined in paragraph (29) of this subsection. Where the election is made to include a passive income affiliate in the unitary business group, for purposes of computing the affiliate's base income under Section 203 of this Act, the affiliate's federal taxable income shall be deemed to consist solely of its passive income, as defined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (29) of this subsection, net of related expenses.
