      and certain other amounts included under the Internal Revenue
      Code shall not be included in the numerator or denominator of
      the  sales  factor  (now for taxable years ending on or after

 1        AN ACT concerning taxes.
 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:
 4        Section 5.  The Illinois Income Tax  Act  is  amended  by
 5    changing Sections 204, 304, 502, 702, 703, 804, 901, and 1501
 6    as follows:
 7        (35 ILCS 5/204) (from Ch. 120, par. 2-204)
 8        Sec. 204.  Standard Exemption.
 9        (a)  Allowance  of  exemption.  In  computing  net income
10    under this Act, there shall be allowed as  an  exemption  the
11    sum  of the amounts determined under subsections (b), (c) and
12    (d), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which  is  the
13    amount  of the taxpayer's base income allocable to this State
14    for the taxable year and the  denominator  of  which  is  the
15    taxpayer's total base income for the taxable year.
16        (b)  Basic  amount.  For the purpose of subsection (a) of
17    this Section, except as provided by subsection (a) of Section
18    205 and in this subsection, each taxpayer shall be allowed  a
19    basic  amount of $1000, except that for individuals the basic
20    amount shall be:
21             (1)  for taxable years ending on or  after  December
22        31, 1998 and prior to December 31, 1999, $1,300;
23             (2)  for  taxable  years ending on or after December
24        31, 1999 and prior to December 31, 2000, $1,650;
25             (3)  for taxable years ending on or  after  December
26        31, 2000, $2,000.
27    For  taxable  years  ending  on or after December 31, 1992, a
28    taxpayer whose Illinois base income exceeds the basic  amount
29    $1,000  and who is claimed as a dependent on another person's
30    tax return under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall  not
31    be  allowed  any  basic  amount  under  this subsection.  The
HB2363 Enrolled           -2-                  LRB9007368KDks
 1    provisions of Section 250 shall not apply to  the  amendments
 2    made by this amendatory Act of 1998.
 3        (c)  Additional amount for individuals. In the case of an
 4    individual  taxpayer,  there shall be allowed for the purpose
 5    of subsection (a), in addition to the basic  amount  provided
 6    by subsection (b), an additional exemption equal to the basic
 7    amount in the amount of $1000 for each exemption in excess of
 8    one  allowable  to  such  individual taxpayer for the taxable
 9    year under Section 151 of the Internal  Revenue  Code.    The
10    provisions  of  Section 250 shall not apply to the amendments
11    made by this amendatory Act of 1998.
12        (d)  Additional exemptions for an individual taxpayer and
13    his or her spouse.  In the case of an individual taxpayer and
14    his or her spouse, he or she shall each be allowed additional
15    exemptions as follows:
16             (1)  Additional exemption for taxpayer or spouse  65
17        years of age or older.
18                  (A)  For  taxpayer.  An additional exemption of
19             $1,000 for the taxpayer if he or  she  has  attained
20             the age of 65 before the end of the taxable year.
21                  (B)  For  spouse  when  a  joint  return is not
22             filed.  An additional exemption of  $1,000  for  the
23             spouse of the taxpayer if a joint return is not made
24             by  the  taxpayer  and his spouse, and if the spouse
25             has attained the age of 65 before the  end  of  such
26             taxable  year,  and,  for the calendar year in which
27             the taxable year of  the  taxpayer  begins,  has  no
28             gross  income  and  is  not the dependent of another
29             taxpayer.
30             (2)  Additional exemption for blindness of  taxpayer
31        or spouse.
32                  (A)  For  taxpayer.  An additional exemption of

34             end of the taxable year.
HB2363 Enrolled           -3-                  LRB9007368KDks
 1                  (B)  For spouse when  a  joint  return  is  not
 2             filed.   An  additional  exemption of $1,000 for the
 3             spouse of the taxpayer if a separate return is  made
 4             by the taxpayer, and if the spouse is blind and, for
 5             the  calendar  year in which the taxable year of the
 6             taxpayer begins, has no gross income and is not  the
 7             dependent  of another taxpayer. For purposes of this
 8             paragraph, the determination of whether  the  spouse
 9             is  blind shall be made as of the end of the taxable
10             year of the taxpayer; except that if the spouse dies
11             during such taxable year such determination shall be
12             made as of the time of such death.
13                  (C)  Blindness defined.  For purposes  of  this
14             subsection,  an  individual  is blind only if his or
15             her central visual acuity does not exceed 20/200  in
16             the  better eye with correcting lenses, or if his or
17             her visual acuity is  greater  than  20/200  but  is
18             accompanied  by a limitation in the fields of vision
19             such that the widest diameter of the  visual  fields
20             subtends an angle no greater than 20 degrees.
21        (e)  Cross  reference.  See  Article  3 for the manner of
22    determining base income allocable to this State.

24        (35 ILCS 5/304) (from Ch. 120, par. 3-304)
25        Sec.  304.  Business  income  of   persons   other   than
26    residents.
27        (a)  In  general.  The  business income of a person other
28    than a resident shall be allocated  to  this  State  if  such
29    person's  business  income is derived solely from this State.
30    If a person other than a  resident  derives  business  income
31    from  this  State and one or more other states, then, for tax
32    years ending on or before December 30, 1998,  and  except  as
33    otherwise  provided  by  this Section, such person's business
HB2363 Enrolled           -4-                  LRB9007368KDks
 1    income shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying  the
 2    income  by  a  fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of
 3    the property factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and
 4    200% of the sales factor (if any),  and  the  denominator  of
 5    which  is  4  reduced by the number of factors other than the
 6    sales factor which have a  denominator  of  zero  and  by  an
 7    additional  2  if the sales factor has a denominator of zero.
 8    For tax years ending on  or  after  December  31,  1998,  and
 9    except  as  otherwise provided by this Section, persons other
10    than residents who derive business income from this State and
11    one or more other states shall  compute  their  apportionment
12    factor  by  weighting  their  property,  payroll,  and  sales
13    factors as provided in subsection (h) of this Section.
14        (1)  Property factor.
15             (A)  The   property   factor   is  a  fraction,  the
16        numerator of which is the average value of  the  person's
17        real  and  tangible personal property owned or rented and
18        used in the trade or business in this  State  during  the
19        taxable  year and the denominator of which is the average
20        value of all the  person's  real  and  tangible  personal
21        property  owned  or  rented  and  used  in  the  trade or
22        business during the taxable year.
23             (B)  Property owned by the person is valued  at  its
24        original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at
25        8  times  the  net  annual rental rate. Net annual rental
26        rate is the annual rental rate paid by  the  person  less
27        any  annual  rental  rate  received  by  the  person from
28        sub-rentals.
29             (C)  The  average  value  of   property   shall   be
30        determined  by  averaging the values at the beginning and
31        ending of the taxable year but the Director  may  require
32        the  averaging  of monthly values during the taxable year
33        if reasonably required to reflect  properly  the  average
34        value of the person's property.

 1        (2)  Payroll factor.
 2             (A)  The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator
 3        of  which  is  the total amount paid in this State during
 4        the taxable year by the person for compensation, and  the
 5        denominator  of  which  is  the  total  compensation paid
 6        everywhere during the taxable year.
 7             (B)  Compensation is paid in this State if:
 8                  (i)  The  individual's  service  is   performed
 9             entirely within this State;
10                  (ii)  The  individual's  service  is  performed
11             both  within and without this State, but the service
12             performed without this State is  incidental  to  the
13             individual's service performed within this State; or
14                  (iii)  Some  of the service is performed within
15             this State and either the base of operations, or  if
16             there is no base of operations, the place from which
17             the service is directed or controlled is within this
18             State,  or  the base of operations or the place from
19             which the service is directed or controlled  is  not
20             in  any  state  in which some part of the service is
21             performed, but the individual's residence is in this
22             State.
23             Beginning with taxable  years  ending  on  or  after
24        December  31, 1992, for residents of states that impose a
25        comparable tax liability on residents of this State,  for
26        purposes  of  item (i) of this paragraph (B), in the case
27        of persons who perform personal services  under  personal
28        service  contracts  for  sports performances, services by
29        that person at a sporting event taking place in  Illinois
30        shall  be deemed to be a performance entirely within this
31        State.
32        (3)  Sales factor.
33             (A)  The sales factor is a fraction,  the  numerator
34        of  which  is the total sales of the person in this State
HB2363 Enrolled           -6-                  LRB9007368KDks
 1        during the taxable year, and the denominator of which  is
 2        the  total  sales  of  the  person  everywhere during the
 3        taxable year.
 4             (B)  Sales of tangible personal property are in this
 5        State if:
 6                  (i)  The property is delivered or shipped to  a
 7             purchaser,  other than the United States government,
 8             within this State regardless of the f. o.  b.  point
 9             or other conditions of the sale; or
10                  (ii)  The  property  is shipped from an office,
11             store, warehouse, factory or other place of  storage
12             in this State and either the purchaser is the United
13             States  government  or  the person is not taxable in
14             the state of the purchaser; provided, however,  that
15             premises  owned  or  leased  by  a  person  who  has
16             independently  contracted  with  the  seller for the
17             printing of newspapers, periodicals or  books  shall
18             not  be  deemed  to  be an office, store, warehouse,
19             factory or other place of storage  for  purposes  of
20             this  Section.   Sales of tangible personal property
21             are not in this State if the  seller  and  purchaser
22             would  be members of the same unitary business group
23             but for the fact that either the seller or purchaser
24             is a person with  80%  or  more  of  total  business
25             activity  outside  of  the  United  States  and  the
26             property is purchased for resale.
27             (C)  Sales,  other  than  sales of tangible personal
28        property, are in this State if:
29                  (i)  The income-producing activity is performed
30             in this State; or
31                  (ii)  The    income-producing    activity    is
32             performed both within and without this State  and  a
33             greater  proportion of the income-producing activity
34             is performed within this  State  than  without  this

 1             State, based on performance costs.
 2             (D)  For  taxable  years ending on or after December
 3        31, 1995, the following items  of  income  shall  not  be
 4        included  in  the  numerator  or denominator of the sales
 5        factor: dividends; amounts included under Section  78  of
 6        the  Internal  Revenue  Code;  and  Subpart  F  income as
 7        defined in Section 952 of the Internal Revenue  Code.  No
 8        inference  shall  be  drawn  from  the  enactment of this
 9        paragraph (D) in  construing  this  Section  for  taxable
10        years ending before December 31, 1995.
11        (b)  Insurance companies.
12        (1)  In   general.   Except   as  otherwise  provided  by
13    paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for  a
14    taxable   year   shall   be  apportioned  to  this  State  by
15    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
16    is the direct premiums written for insurance upon property or
17    risk in this State, and  the  denominator  of  which  is  the
18    direct  premiums  written for insurance upon property or risk
19    everywhere. For purposes of this subsection, the term "direct
20    premiums written" means the total amount of  direct  premiums
21    written,  assessments  and annuity considerations as reported
22    for the taxable year on the annual  statement  filed  by  the
23    company  with  the Illinois Director of Insurance in the form
24    approved   by   the   National   Convention   of    Insurance
25    Commissioners or such other form as may be prescribed in lieu
26    thereof.
27        (2)  Reinsurance.  If  the  principal  source of premiums
28    written by an insurance  company  consists  of  premiums  for
29    reinsurance  accepted  by  it,  the  business  income of such
30    company shall be apportioned to  this  State  by  multiplying
31    such  income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum
32    of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon property or
33    risk  in  this  State,  plus  (ii)   premiums   written   for
34    reinsurance  accepted  in respect of property or risk in this
HB2363 Enrolled           -8-                  LRB9007368KDks
 1    State, and the denominator of  which  is  the  sum  of  (iii)
 2    direct  premiums  written for insurance upon property or risk
 3    everywhere,  plus  (iv)  premiums  written  for   reinsurance
 4    accepted  in  respect  of  property  or  risk everywhere. For
 5    purposes of this paragraph, premiums written for  reinsurance
 6    accepted  in  respect  of  property  or  risk  in this State,
 7    whether or not otherwise determinable, may, at  the  election
 8    of  the company, be determined on the basis of the proportion
 9    which  premiums  written  for   reinsurance   accepted   from
10    companies   commercially   domiciled  in  Illinois  bears  to
11    premiums written for reinsurance accepted from  all  sources,
12    or,  alternatively,  in  the  proportion which the sum of the
13    direct premiums written for insurance upon property  or  risk
14    in  this  State by each ceding company from which reinsurance
15    is accepted bears to the sum of  the  total  direct  premiums
16    written by each such ceding company for the taxable year.
17        (c)  Financial organizations.
18        (1)  In   general.   Business   income   of  a  financial
19    organization  shall  be  apportioned   to   this   State   by
20    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
21    is  its  business  income from sources within this State, and
22    the denominator of which is  its  business  income  from  all
23    sources.  For  the  purposes of this subsection, the business
24    income of a financial organization from sources  within  this
25    State  is the sum of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs
26    (A) through (E) following, but excluding the adjusted  income
27    of   an  international  banking  facility  as  determined  in
28    paragraph (2):
29             (A)  Fees, commissions  or  other  compensation  for
30        financial services rendered within this State;
31             (B)  Gross  profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
32        other securities managed within this State;
33             (C)  Dividends,   and   interest    from    Illinois
34        customers, which are received within this State;
HB2363 Enrolled           -9-                  LRB9007368KDks
 1             (D)  Interest  charged  to  customers  at  places of
 2        business maintained within this State for carrying  debit
 3        balances  of  margin  accounts,  without deduction of any
 4        costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
 5             (E)  Any  other  gross  income  resulting  from  the
 6        operation as a financial organization within this  State.
 7        In  computing  the  amounts referred to in paragraphs (A)
 8        through (E) of this subsection, any amount received by  a
 9        member  of  an affiliated group (determined under Section
10        1504(a)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code   but   without
11        reference   to   whether   any  such  corporation  is  an
12        "includible corporation" under  Section  1504(b)  of  the
13        Internal  Revenue Code) from another member of such group
14        shall be included only to the extent such amount  exceeds
15        expenses of the recipient directly related thereto.
16        (2)  International Banking Facility.
17             (A)  Adjusted  Income.   The  adjusted  income of an
18        international banking facility is its income  reduced  by
19        the amount of the floor amount.
20             (B)  Floor  Amount.   The  floor amount shall be the
21        amount, if any, determined by multiplying the  income  of
22        the  international  banking  facility  by a fraction, not
23        greater than one, which is determined as follows:
24                  (i)  The numerator shall be:
25                  The  average   aggregate,   determined   on   a
26             quarterly  basis,  of  the  financial organization's
27             loans to banks  in  foreign  countries,  to  foreign
28             domiciled  borrowers (except where secured primarily
29             by real estate) and to foreign governments and other
30             foreign official institutions, as reported  for  its
31             branches,  agencies  and offices within the state on
32             its "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule  A,
33             Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with the
34             Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  and  other
HB2363 Enrolled           -10-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1             regulatory authorities, for the year 1980, minus
 2                  The   average   aggregate,   determined   on  a
 3             quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans  of
 4             an  international  banking facility), as reported by
 5             the financial institution for its branches, agencies
 6             and offices within the state, on  the  corresponding
 7             Schedule  and  lines  of  the Consolidated Report of
 8             Condition for the current  taxable  year,  provided,
 9             however, that in no case shall the amount determined
10             in  this  clause  (the subtrahend) exceed the amount
11             determined in the preceding  clause  (the  minuend);
12             and
13                  (ii)  the  denominator  shall  be  the  average
14             aggregate,  determined  on a quarterly basis, of the
15             international banking facility's loans to  banks  in
16             foreign  countries,  to  foreign domiciled borrowers
17             (except where secured primarily by real estate)  and
18             to  foreign  governments  and other foreign official
19             institutions, which were recorded in  its  financial
20             accounts for the current taxable year.
21             (C)  Change  to Consolidated Report of Condition and
22        in Qualification.  In the event the  Consolidated  Report
23        of  Condition  which  is  filed  with the Federal Deposit
24        Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities is
25        altered so that the information required for  determining
26        the  floor amount is not found on Schedule A, lines 2.c.,
27        5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution shall notify the
28        Department and the  Department  may,  by  regulations  or
29        otherwise,   prescribe   or   authorize  the  use  of  an
30        alternative source for such  information.  The  financial
31        institution  shall  also notify the Department should its
32        international banking facility fail to qualify  as  such,
33        in  whole or in part, or should there be any amendment or
34        change  to  the  Consolidated  Report  of  Condition,  as
HB2363 Enrolled           -11-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1        originally filed, to the extent such amendment or  change
 2        alters  the  information  used  in  determining the floor
 3        amount.
 4        (d)  Transportation  services.  Business  income  derived
 5    from furnishing transportation services shall be  apportioned
 6    to this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
 7             (1)  Such  business  income (other than that derived
 8        from transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned  to
 9        this  State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
10        numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person  in
11        this  State,  and the denominator of which is the revenue
12        miles of the person  everywhere.  For  purposes  of  this
13        paragraph,  a  revenue  mile  is  the transportation of 1
14        passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1  mile
15        for  a  consideration.  Where  a person is engaged in the
16        transportation  of  both  passengers  and  freight,   the
17        fraction  above  referred to shall be determined by means
18        of an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction  and
19        the  freight  revenue  mile fraction, weighted to reflect
20        the person's
21                  (A)  relative  railway  operating  income  from
22             total  passenger  and  total  freight  service,   as
23             reported  to  the Interstate Commerce Commission, in
24             the case of transportation by railroad, and
25                  (B)  relative gross receipts from passenger and
26             freight transportation, in  case  of  transportation
27             other than by railroad.
28             (2)  Such     business     income    derived    from
29        transportation by pipeline shall be apportioned  to  this
30        State  by  multiplying  such  income  by  a fraction, the
31        numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person  in
32        this  State,  and the denominator of which is the revenue
33        miles of the person everywhere. For the purposes of  this
34        paragraph,  a  revenue  mile  is  the  transportation  by
HB2363 Enrolled           -12-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1        pipeline  of 1 barrel of oil, 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or
 2        of any specified quantity of  any  other  substance,  the
 3        distance of 1 mile for a consideration.
 4        (e)  Combined apportionment.  Where 2 or more persons are
 5    engaged  in  a  unitary  business  as described in subsection
 6    (a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
 7    State by one or more  members  of  the  group,  the  business
 8    income  attributable  to  this  State  by  any such member or
 9    members  shall  be  apportioned  by  means  of  the  combined
10    apportionment method.
11        (f)  Alternative  allocation.  If  the   allocation   and
12    apportionment  provisions  of subsections (a) through (e) and
13    of subsection (h) do not fairly represent  the  extent  of  a
14    person's  business  activity  in  this  State, the person may
15    petition for, or the Director may require, in respect of  all
16    or any part of the person's business activity, if reasonable:
17             (1)  Separate accounting;
18             (2)  The exclusion of any one or more factors;
19             (3)  The inclusion of one or more additional factors
20        which   will   fairly  represent  the  person's  business
21        activities in this State; or
22             (4)  The  employment  of   any   other   method   to
23        effectuate  an  equitable allocation and apportionment of
24        the person's business income.
25        (g)  Cross reference. For allocation of  business  income
26    by residents, see Section 301(a).
27        (h)  For  tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998,
28    the apportionment  factor  of  persons  who  apportion  their
29    business  income  to this State under subsection (a) shall be
30    equal to:
31             (1)  for tax years ending on or after  December  31,
32        1998  and  before  December  31,  1999,  16  2/3%  of the
33        property factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll  factor  plus
34        66 2/3% of the sales factor;
HB2363 Enrolled           -13-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1             (2)  for  tax  years ending on or after December 31,
 2        1999 and before December 31, 2000, 8 1/3% of the property
 3        factor plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83 1/3%  of
 4        the sales factor;
 5             (3)  for  tax  years ending on or after December 31,
 6        2000, the sales factor.
 7    If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998  and
 8    before  December  31,  2000,  the denominator of the payroll,
 9    property, or sales factor is zero, the  apportionment  factor
10    computed  in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that
11    year shall be divided by an amount equal to  100%  minus  the
12    percentage  weight  given to each factor whose denominator is
13    equal to zero.

17        Sec. 502.  Returns and notices.
18        (a)  In  general.  A  return  with  respect  to the taxes
19    imposed by this Act shall be made by  every  person  for  any
20    taxable year:
21             (1)  For  which  such  person  is  liable  for a tax
22        imposed by this Act, or
23             (2)  In the case of a resident or in the case  of  a
24        corporation  which  is  qualified  to do business in this
25        State, for which  such  person  is  required  to  make  a
26        federal  income  tax  return,  regardless of whether such
27        person is liable for a tax imposed by this Act.  However,
28        this paragraph shall not require a  resident  to  make  a
29        return if, unless such person has an Illinois base income
30        of  the basic amount in Section 204(b) $1,000 or less and
31        is either claimed as a dependent on another person's  tax
32        return  under  the  Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, or is
33        claimed as a dependent on  another  person's  tax  return
HB2363 Enrolled           -14-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1        under this Act.
 2        (b)  Fiduciaries and receivers.
 3             (1)  Decedents.  If  an  individual is deceased, any
 4        return or notice required of such individual  under  this
 5        Act  shall  be  made  by  his executor, administrator, or
 6        other person charged with the property of such decedent.
 7             (2)  Individuals   under   a   disability.   If   an
 8        individual is unable to make a return or notice  required
 9        under  this  Act,  the  return or notice required of such
10        individual shall be made by his  duly  authorized  agent,
11        guardian, fiduciary or other person charged with the care
12        of the person or property of such individual.
13             (3)  Estates and trusts. Returns or notices required
14        of  an  estate  or a trust shall be made by the fiduciary
15        thereof.
16             (4)  Receivers,   trustees   and    assignees    for
17        corporations.  In  a  case  where  a receiver, trustee in
18        bankruptcy, or assignee, by order of a court of competent
19        jurisdiction, by operation  of  law,  or  otherwise,  has
20        possession  of or holds title to all or substantially all
21        the property or business of a corporation, whether or not
22        such  property  or  business  is  being  operated,   such
23        receiver, trustee, or assignee shall make the returns and
24        notices  required  of such corporation in the same manner
25        and form  as  corporations  are  required  to  make  such
26        returns and notices.
27        (c)  Joint returns by husband and wife.
28             (1)  Except  as  provided  in  paragraph  (3),  if a
29        husband and wife file a joint federal income  tax  return
30        for  a  taxable year they shall file a joint return under
31        this Act for such  taxable  year  and  their  liabilities
32        shall be joint and several, but if the federal income tax
33        liability  of  either  spouse is determined on a separate
34        federal income  tax  return,  they  shall  file  separate
HB2363 Enrolled           -15-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1        returns under this Act.
 2             (2)  If neither spouse is required to file a federal
 3        income tax return and either or both are required to file
 4        a  return under this Act, they may elect to file separate
 5        or joint returns and  pursuant  to  such  election  their
 6        liabilities shall be separate or joint and several.
 7             (3)  If either husband or wife is a resident and the
 8        other  is a nonresident, they shall file separate returns
 9        in this State on such forms as may  be  required  by  the
10        Department  in which event their tax liabilities shall be
11        separate; but they may elect to determine their joint net
12        income and file a joint return as if both were  residents
13        and  in  such  case, their liabilities shall be joint and
14        several.
15             (4)  However, an innocent spouse shall  be  relieved
16        of  liability  for tax (including interest and penalties)
17        for any taxable year for which a joint  return  has  been
18        made,  upon submission of proof that the Internal Revenue
19        Service has made a determination under Section 6013(e) of
20        the Internal Revenue Code, for  the  same  taxable  year,
21        which  determination  relieved  the spouse from liability
22        for federal income taxes. If there is no  federal  income
23        tax  liability  at  issue  for the same taxable year, the
24        Department  shall  rely  on  the  provisions  of  Section
25        6013(e)  to  determine  whether  the  person   requesting
26        innocent  spouse  abatement of tax, penalty, and interest
27        is entitled to that relief.
28        (d)  Partnerships.  Every  partnership  having  any  base
29    income allocable to this State  in  accordance  with  section
30    305(c)  shall  retain  information  concerning  all  items of
31    income, gain, loss and deduction; the names and addresses  of
32    all  of  the partners, or names and addresses of members of a
33    limited liability company, or  other  persons  who  would  be
34    entitled  to  share  in the base income of the partnership if
HB2363 Enrolled           -16-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1    distributed; the amount of the distributive  share  of  each;
 2    and such other pertinent information as the Department may by
 3    forms  or  regulations  prescribe. The partnership shall make
 4    that information available to the Department  when  requested
 5    by the Department.
 6        (e)  For  taxable  years  ending on or after December 31,
 7    1985, and  before  December  31,  1993,  taxpayers  that  are
 8    corporations  (other  than  Subchapter S corporations) having
 9    the same taxable year  and  that  are  members  of  the  same
10    unitary  business  group  may  elect  to  be  treated  as one
11    taxpayer for purposes of any original return, amended  return
12    which  includes the same taxpayers of the unitary group which
13    joined  in  the  election  to  file  the   original   return,
14    extension,  claim  for  refund,  assessment,  collection  and
15    payment  and determination of the group's tax liability under
16    this Act. This subsection (e) does not permit the election to
17    be made for some, but not all,  of  the  purposes  enumerated
18    above.  For  taxable  years  ending  on or after December 31,
19    1987,   corporate   members   (other   than   Subchapter    S
20    corporations)  of the same unitary business group making this
21    subsection (e) election are not required  to  have  the  same
22    taxable year.
23        For  taxable  years ending on or after December 31, 1993,
24    taxpayers that are  corporations  (other  than  Subchapter  S
25    corporations)  and  that  are  members   of  the same unitary
26    business group shall be treated as one taxpayer for  purposes
27    of  any  original  return,  amended return which includes the
28    same taxpayers of the unitary group which  joined  in  filing
29    the original return, extension, claim for refund, assessment,
30    collection  and  payment and determination of the group's tax
31    liability under this Act.
32        (f)  The Department may promulgate regulations to  permit
33    nonresident  individual  partners  of  the  same partnership,
34    nonresident Subchapter S corporation shareholders of the same
HB2363 Enrolled           -17-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1    Subchapter  S  corporation,   and   nonresident   individuals
 2    transacting  an insurance business in Illinois under a Lloyds
 3    plan of operation, and nonresident individual members of  the
 4    same   limited   liability  company  that  is  treated  as  a
 5    partnership under Section 1501 (a)(16) of this Act,  to  file
 6    composite   individual  income  tax  returns  reflecting  the
 7    composite income of such individuals  allocable  to  Illinois
 8    and  to  make  composite individual income tax payments.  The
 9    Department may  by  regulation  also  permit  such  composite
10    returns  to include the income tax owed by Illinois residents
11    attributable to their income from partnerships, Subchapter  S
12    corporations,  insurance  businesses organized under a Lloyds
13    plan of operation, or limited liability  companies  that  are
14    treated  as  partnership  under  Section 1501 (a)(16) of this
15    Act, in which case such Illinois residents will be  permitted
16    to claim credits on their individual returns for their shares
17    of  the  composite tax payments.  This subsection (f) applies
18    to taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1987.
19        (g)  The Department may  adopt  rules  to  authorize  the
20    electronic  filing  of  any return required to be filed under
21    this Section.

27    exemption in an amount equal to the basic amount  in  Section
28    204(b)  $1,000 for each personal or dependent exemption which
29    he is entitled to claim on his  federal  return  pursuant  to
30    Section  151  of  the  Internal Revenue Code of 1986; plus an
31    allowance equal to $1,000 for each $1,000 he is  entitled  to
32    deduct from gross income in arriving at adjusted gross income
33    pursuant  to Section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;

 2    eligible for subtraction on his Illinois income tax return as
 3    Illinois  real  estate taxes paid during the taxable year; or
 4    in any lesser amount claimed by  him.  Every  employee  shall
 5    furnish  to  his employer such information as is required for
 6    the employer to make an accurate withholding under this  Act.
 7    The  employer  may  rely  on this information for withholding
 8    purposes. If any employee fails or refuses  to  furnish  such
 9    information, the employer shall withhold the full rate of tax
10    from the employee's total compensation.

21    succeeding year, or, if his employment is  terminated  before
22    the  close  of  such  calendar year, on the date on which the
23    last payment of compensation is made, a written statement  in
24    such  form  as  the  Department  may  by regulation prescribe
25    showing the amount of compensation paid by  the  employer  to
26    the  employee,  the  amount deducted and withheld as tax, and
27    such other information as the Department shall  prescribe.  A
28    copy  of  such  statement shall be filed by the employee with
29    his return for his taxable  year  to  which  it  relates  (as
30    determined under section 601(b) (1).

 2        (a)  In general. In case of any underpayment of estimated
 3    tax  by  a  taxpayer, except as provided in subsection (d) or
 4    (e), the taxpayer shall be liable to a penalty in  an  amount
 5    determined  at  the  rate  prescribed  by  Section 3-3 of the
 6    Uniform Penalty and Interest  Act  upon  the  amount  of  the
 7    underpayment  (determined  under  subsection  (b))  for  each
 8    required installment.
 9        (b)  Amount  of  underpayment. For purposes of subsection
10    (a), the amount of the underpayment shall be the excess of:
11             (1)  the amount of the installment  which  would  be
12        required to be paid under subsection (c), over
13             (2)  the  amount, if any, of the installment paid on
14        or before the last date prescribed for payment.
15        (c)  Amount of Required Installments.

20             payment.
21                  (B)  Required  Annual Payment.  For purposes of
22             subparagraph (A), the term "required annual payment"
23             means the lesser of
24                       (i)  90% of the tax shown  on  the  return
25                  for the taxable year, or if no return is filed,
26                  90% of the tax for such year, or
27                       (ii)  100%  of the tax shown on the return
28                  of the taxpayer for the preceding taxable  year
29                  if  a  return  showing  a liability for tax was
30                  filed by the taxpayer for the preceding taxable
31                  year and such preceding year was a taxable year
32                  of 12 months.

 1        Paragraph (1).
 2                  (A)  In  General.   In the case of any required
 3             installment  if  a  taxpayer  establishes  that  the
 4             annualized  income  installment  is  less  than  the
 5             amount determined under paragraph (1),
 6                       (i)  the   amount   of    such    required
 7                  installment  shall  be  the  annualized  income
 8                  installment, and
 9                       (ii)  any    reduction   in   a   required
10                  installment resulting from the  application  of
11                  this   subparagraph   shall  be  recaptured  by
12                  increasing the  amount  of  the  next  required
13                  installment  determined  under paragraph (1) by
14                  the amount of such reduction, and by increasing
15                  subsequent required installments to the  extent
16                  that  the  reduction  has  not  previously been
17                  recaptured under this clause.
18                  (B)  Determination   of    Annualized    Income
19             Installment.    In   the   case   of   any  required
20             installment, the annualized  income  installment  is
21             the excess, if any, of
22                       (i)  an  amount  equal  to  the applicable
23                  percentage of the  tax  for  the  taxable  year
24                  computed  by placing on an annualized basis the
25                  net income  for  months  in  the  taxable  year
26                  ending before the due date for the installment,
27                  over
28                       (ii)  the  aggregate  amount  of any prior
29                  required installments for the taxable year.
30                  (C)  Applicable Percentage.

 3                  (D)  Annualized Net Income;  Individuals.   For
 4             individuals,  net  income  shall  be  placed  on  an
 5             annualized basis by:
 6                       (i)  multiplying  by 12, or in the case of
 7                  a taxable year of less than 12 months,  by  the
 8                  number  of  months in the taxable year, the net
 9                  income computed without regard to the  standard
10                  exemption  for  the  months in the taxable year
11                  ending  before   the   month   in   which   the
12                  installment is required to be paid;
13                       (ii)  dividing the resulting amount by the
14                  number  of  months  in  the taxable year ending
15                  before the month in which such installment date
16                  falls; and
17                       (iii)  deducting  from  such  amount   the
18                  standard  exemption  allowable  for the taxable
19                  year, such standard exemption being  determined
20                  as  of  the last date prescribed for payment of
21                  the installment.
22                  (E)  Annualized Net Income; Corporations.   For
23             corporations,  net  income  shall  be  placed  on an
24             annualized basis by multiplying by  12  the  taxable
25             income
26                       (i)  for the first 3 months of the taxable
27                  year,  in  the case of the installment required
28                  to be paid in the 4th month,
29                       (ii)  for the first 3 months  or  for  the
30                  first 5 months of the taxable year, in the case
31                  of  the  installment required to be paid in the
32                  6th month,
33                       (iii)  for the first 6 months or  for  the
34                  first 8 months of the taxable year, in the case
HB2363 Enrolled           -22-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1                  of  the  installment required to be paid in the
 2                  9th month, and
 3                       (iv)  for the first 9 months  or  for  the
 4                  first  11  months  of  the taxable year, in the
 5                  case of the installment required to be paid  in
 6                  the 12th month of the taxable year,
 7             then  dividing the resulting amount by the number of
 8             months in the taxable year (3, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 11  as
 9             the case may be).
10        (d)  Exceptions.  Notwithstanding  the  provisions of the
11    preceding subsections, the penalty imposed by subsection  (a)
12    shall not be imposed if the taxpayer was not required to file
13    an Illinois income tax return for the preceding taxable year,
14    or  if the taxpayer has underpaid taxes solely because of the
15    increased rate in effect during the period from July 1,  1989
16    through  December  1989, or, for individuals, if the taxpayer
17    had no tax liability for the preceding taxable year and  such
18    year  was a taxable year of 12 months. The penalty imposed by
19    subsection (a) shall also not be imposed on any underpayments
20    of estimated tax  due  before  the  effective  date  of  this
21    amendatory   Act  of  1998  which  underpayments  are  solely
22    attributable to the change in apportionment  from  subsection
23    (a) to subsection (h) of Section 304.  The provisions of this
24    amendatory  Act of 1998 apply to tax years ending on or after
25    December 31, 1998.
26        (e)  The penalty imposed for  underpayment  of  estimated
27    tax by subsection (a) of this Section shall not be imposed to
28    the  extent  that the Department or his designate determines,
29    pursuant to Section 3-8 of the Uniform Penalty  and  Interest
30    Act that the penalty should not be imposed.
31        (f)  Definition  of  tax. For purposes of subsections (b)
32    and (c), the term "tax" means the excess of the  tax  imposed
33    under  Article  2  of  this  Act,  over  the amounts credited
34    against such tax under Sections 601(b) (3) and (4).

 1        (g)  Application of Section in case of  tax  withheld  on
 2    compensation.    For purposes of applying this Section in the
 3    case of an individual, tax withheld under Article 7  for  the
 4    taxable  year shall be deemed a payment of estimated tax, and
 5    an equal part of such amount shall be  deemed  paid  on  each
 6    installment  date  for such taxable year, unless the taxpayer
 7    establishes the dates on  which  all  amounts  were  actually
 8    withheld,  in  which  case  the  amounts so withheld shall be
 9    deemed payments of estimated tax on the dates on  which  such
10    amounts were actually withheld.
11        (g-5)  Amounts   withheld  under  the  State  Salary  and

14    Salary and Annuity Withholding Act may elect  to  have  those
15    amounts  treated  as  payments  of  estimated tax made on the
16    dates on which those amounts are actually withheld.
17        (i)  Short taxable year.  The application of this Section
18    to  taxable  years  of  less  than  12  months  shall  be  in
19    accordance with regulations prescribed by the Department.

 9        period beginning January 1, 1989 and ending on  June  30,

11        fiscal year thereafter, the percentage deposited into the
12        Income  Tax Refund Fund during a fiscal year shall be the
13        Annual Percentage.  For fiscal years 1999  through  2001,
14        the  Annual  Percentage  shall  be  7.1%.   For all other
15        fiscal years, the Annual Percentage shall  be  calculated
16        as a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the amount
17        of  refunds approved for payment by the Department during
18        the preceding fiscal year as a result of  overpayment  of
19        tax  liability under subsections (a) and (b)(1), (2), and
20        (3) of Section 201 of this Act plus the  amount  of  such
21        refunds  remaining  approved but unpaid at the end of the
22        preceding fiscal year minus any surplus which remains  on

24        preceding year, the denominator of  which  shall  be  the
25        amounts  which  will be collected pursuant to subsections
26        (a) and (b)(1), (2), and (3) of Section 201 of  this  Act
27        during  the  preceding  fiscal  year.   The  Director  of
28        Revenue  shall  certify  the  Annual  Percentage  to  the
29        Comptroller  on  the last business day of the fiscal year
30        immediately preceding the fiscal year for which it is  it

 4        during the period beginning January 1, 1989 and ending on
 5        June 30, 1989.  Beginning with State fiscal year 1990 and

 7        into the Income Tax Refund  Fund  during  a  fiscal  year
 8        shall  be  the Annual Percentage.  For fiscal years 1999,
 9        2000, and 2001, the Annual Percentage shall be 19%.   For
10        all  other  fiscal  years, the Annual Percentage shall be
11        calculated as a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
12        the  amount  of  refunds  approved  for  payment  by  the
13        Department during the preceding fiscal year as  a  result
14        of overpayment of tax liability under subsections (a) and

15             subparagraph,    a   trust   shall   be   considered
16             irrevocable to the extent that the  grantor  is  not

12        is  set  forth  in  the  laws  of  the  United  States or
13        regulations of the Board  of  Governors  of  the  Federal
14        Reserve System.
15             (26)  Income Tax Return Preparer.

 1                  deficiency  issued  to  that  taxpayer  or   in

 3                  commencement of an audit of that taxpayer or of
 4                  another  taxpayer  if  a  determination  in the
 5                  audit  of  the  other  taxpayer   directly   or
 6                  indirectly  affects  the  tax  liability of the
 7                  taxpayer whose claims he or she is preparing.
 8             (27)  Unitary business  group.   The  term  "unitary
 9        business  group" means a group of persons related through
10        common ownership whose business activities are integrated
11        with, dependent upon and contribute to each  other.   The
12        group  will  not  include  those  members  whose business
13        activity outside the United States is 80% or more of  any
14        such  member's  total  business activity; for purposes of
15        this paragraph and clause (a) (3)  (B)  (ii)  of  Section
16        304,  business activity within the United States shall be
17        measured by means of the  factors  ordinarily  applicable
18        under  subsections  (a),  (b),  (c),  and  (d), or (h) of
19        Section  304  except  that,  in  the  case   of   members
20        ordinarily required to apportion business income by means
21        of  the  3  factor formula of property, payroll and sales
22        specified in subsection (a) of Section 304, including the
23        formula as weighted in subsection  (h)  of  Section  304,
24        such  members  shall  not  use  the  sales  factor in the
25        computation and the results of the property  and  payroll
26        factor  computations  of  subsection  (a)  of Section 304
27        shall be divided by 2 (by one if either the  property  or
28        payroll   factor   has   a   denominator  of  zero).  The
29        computation required by the preceding sentence shall,  in
30        each case, involve the division of the member's property,
31        payroll, or revenue miles in the United States, insurance
32        premiums  on  property  or  risk in the United States, or
33        financial  organization  business  income  from   sources
34        within  the  United  States,  as  the case may be, by the
HB2363 Enrolled           -38-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1        respective worldwide  figures  for  such  items.   Common
 2        ownership  in  the  case of corporations is the direct or
 3        indirect control or ownership of more  than  50%  of  the
 4        outstanding  voting  stock  of  the  persons  carrying on
 5        unitary business activity.  Unitary business activity can
 6        ordinarily be illustrated where  the  activities  of  the
 7        members  are:   (1)  in  the  same  general line (such as
 8        manufacturing,   wholesaling,   retailing   of   tangible
 9        personal property, insurance, transportation or finance);
10        or (2) are steps in a vertically structured enterprise or
11        process (such as the steps involved in the production  of
12        natural   resources,  which  might  include  exploration,
13        mining,  refining,  and  marketing);   and,   in   either
14        instance, the members are functionally integrated through
15        the exercise of strong centralized management (where, for
16        example,  authority  over  such  matters  as  purchasing,
17        financing,   tax  compliance,  product  line,  personnel,
18        marketing and capital investment  is  not  left  to  each
19        member).  In no event, however, will any unitary business
20        group include members which are  ordinarily  required  to
21        apportion  business income under different subsections of
22        Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or  after
23        December  31,  1987 this prohibition shall not apply to a
24        unitary business group composed of one or more  taxpayers
25        all  of  which  apportion  business  income  pursuant  to
26        subsection  (b) of Section 304, or all of which apportion
27        business income pursuant to  subsection  (d)  of  Section
28        304,   and   a  holding  company  of  such  single-factor
29        taxpayers (see definition of "financial organization" for
30        rule   regarding   holding   companies    of    financial
31        organizations).   If  a unitary business group would, but
32        for the preceding  sentence,  include  members  that  are
33        ordinarily  required  to  apportion business income under
34        different subsections  of  Section  304,  then  for  each
HB2363 Enrolled           -39-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1        subsection of Section 304 for which there are two or more
 2        members, there shall be a separate unitary business group
 3        composed  of such members.  For purposes of the preceding
 4        two  sentences,  a  member  is  "ordinarily  required  to
 5        apportion business income" under a particular  subsection
 6        of  Section  304  if  it  would  be  required  to use the
 7        apportionment method prescribed by such subsection except
 8        for the fact that it derives business income solely  from
 9        Illinois.    If   the  unitary  business  group  members'
10        accounting periods differ, the common parent's accounting
11        period or, if there is no common parent,  the  accounting
12        period  of  the  member  that  is  expected to have, on a
13        recurring  basis,  the  greatest  Illinois   income   tax
14        liability  must  be  used to determine whether to use the
15        apportionment  method  provided  in  subsection  (a)   or
16        subsection  (h)  of Section 304.  The prohibition against
17        membership in a  unitary  business  group  for  taxpayers
18        ordinarily  required  to apportion income under different
19        subsections of Section 304 does not  apply  to  taxpayers
20        required  to  apportion  income  under subsection (a) and
21        subsection (h) of Section 304.  The  provisions  of  this
22        amendatory  Act  of  1998 apply to tax years ending on or
23        after December 31, 1998.
24             (28)  Subchapter   S    corporation.     The    term
25        "Subchapter  S corporation" means a corporation for which
26        there is in effect an election under Section 1362 of  the
27        Internal  Revenue  Code,  or for which there is a federal
28        election to opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S
29        Revision Act of 1982 and have applied instead  the  prior
30        federal Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
31        (b)  Other definitions.
32             (1)  Words  denoting  number,  gender, and so forth,
33        when used in this Act,  where  not  otherwise  distinctly
34        expressed  or  manifestly  incompatible  with  the intent
HB2363 Enrolled           -40-                 LRB9007368KDks
 1        thereof:
 2                  (A)  Words importing the singular  include  and
 3             apply to several persons, parties or things;
 4                  (B)  Words  importing  the  plural  include the
 5             singular; and
 6                  (C)  Words  importing  the   masculine   gender
 7             include the feminine as well.
 8             (2)  "Company"   or   "association"   as   including
 9        successors   and   assigns.   The   word   "company"   or
10        "association",  when  used in reference to a corporation,
11        shall be deemed to  embrace  the  words  "successors  and
12        assigns  of  such  company  or  association", and in like
13        manner as if these last-named words, or words of  similar
14        import, were expressed.
15             (3)  Other  terms.  Any  term used in any Section of
16        this Act with  respect  to  the  application  of,  or  in
17        connection  with,  the provisions of any other Section of
18        this Act shall have the same meaning  as  in  such  other
19        Section.
