1 corporation had filed a separate return for federal
2 income tax purposes for the taxable year and each
3 preceding taxable year for which it was a member of

7 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
8 referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and

12 gain reportable under the provisions of Section 1245
13 or 1250 of the Internal Revenue Code) for all
14 property in respect of which such gain was reported
15 for the taxable year; plus
16 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the
17 pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amounts (to the
18 extent consisting of capital gain) for all property
19 in respect of which such gain was reported for
20 federal income tax purposes for the taxable year, or

22 reduced in either case by any amount of such gain
23 included in the amount determined under subsection
24 (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
25 (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
26 (A) If the fair market value of property
27 referred to in paragraph (1) was readily
28 ascertainable on August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1,
29 1969 appreciation amount for such property is the
30 lesser of (i) the excess of such fair market value
31 over the taxpayer's basis (for determining gain) for
32 such property on that date (determined under the
33 Internal Revenue Code as in effect on that date), or
34 (ii) the total gain realized and reportable for
-24- LRB9005025KDks

2 exchange or other disposition of such property.
3 (B) If the fair market value of property
4 referred to in paragraph (1) was not readily
5 ascertainable on August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1,
6 1969 appreciation amount for such property is that
7 amount which bears the same ratio to the total gain
8 reported in respect of the property for federal
9 income tax purposes for the taxable year, as the
10 number of full calendar months in that part of the
11 taxpayer's holding period for the property ending
12 July 31, 1969 bears to the number of full calendar
13 months in the taxpayer's entire holding period for
14 the property.
15 (C) The Department shall prescribe such
16 regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
17 purposes of this paragraph.

23 limitations on the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction
24 taken into account in determining gross income, adjusted
25 gross income or taxable income for federal income tax
26 purposes for the taxable year, or in the amount of such items
27 entering into the computation of base income and net income
28 under this Act for such taxable year, whether in respect of
29 property values as of August 1, 1969 or otherwise.

13 the excess credit year. The credit shall be applied to the
14 earliest year for which there is a tax liability. If there
