A BILL FOR

HB1371LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 AN ACT concerning education.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the School
5Choice Act.
6 Section 5. Findings and declaration of policy. The General
7Assembly finds and declares the following:
8 (1) There is a crisis in the education programs in this
9 State. Many schools and their pupils are performing
10 significantly below relevant national standards and are
11 unable to access functions of federal and State law
12 designed to improve their performance. Consequently, many
13 pupils are dropping out of school before completing the
14 ordinary course of secondary education or are leaving
15 school without the basic skills and knowledge that will
16 enable them to find and hold a job or otherwise become
17 functioning, productive members of our society.
18 (2) Within this State there are many public and
19 nonpublic schools and independent education services
20 competently and efficiently educating or contributing to
21 the education of children. Most pupils in those schools or
22 receiving those services perform at or above relevant
23 national standards, complete their secondary education,

HB1371- 2 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 and matriculate to institutions of higher education at an
2 extremely high rate. These services and schools should be
3 accessible to all and should enjoy a cooperative
4 relationship with public school districts, schools, and
5 employees of this State.
6 (3) Custodians of school age children in this State are
7 frequently unable to enroll their children in schools that
8 will provide them a quality education due to a lack of
9 funds.
10 (4) Adopting a pilot school choice program for a
11 limited number of students would enable parents to select
12 schools or services they believe will provide a quality
13 education for their children, empower them to influence the
14 educational policies and procedures in the schools their
15 children attend, and provide them with at least a portion
16 of the funds necessary to pay for a quality education. Such
17 a program would test a new approach to education that could
18 be expanded to the rest of the State.
19 (5) The provisions of this Act are in the public
20 interest, for the public benefit, and serve a secular
21 public purpose.

12 who would be a member of the same unitary business
13 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
14 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the

9 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
10 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
11 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
12 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
13 following:
14 (a) the person, during the same taxable
15 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
16 to a person that is not a related member, and
17 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
18 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
19 person did not have as a principal purpose the
20 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
21 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
22 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
23 terms; or
24 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
25 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
26 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or

HB1371- 15 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
2 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
3 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
4 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
5 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
6 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
7 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
8 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
9 to the application or use of an alternative method
10 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
11 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
12 Director from making any other adjustment
13 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
14 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
15 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
16 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
17 and such regulations provide methods and standards
18 by which the Department will utilize its authority
19 under Section 404 of this Act;
20 (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
21 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
22 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
23 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
24 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
25 foreign person who would be a member of the same
26 unitary business group but for the fact that the

HB1371- 16 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 foreign person's business activity outside the United
2 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
3 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
4 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
5 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
6 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
7 from being included in the unitary business group
8 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
9 business income under different subsections of Section
10 304. The addition modification required by this
11 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
12 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
13 group for the same taxable year and received by the
14 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
15 business group (including amounts included in gross
16 income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
17 Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
18 Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
19 to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
20 expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
21 incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
22 apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
23 reduction to the addition modification required under
24 Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
25 subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
26 includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or

1 related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
2 maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
3 or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
4 losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
5 factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
6 (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
7 (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
8 costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
9 property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
10 names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
11 works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
12 assets.
13 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
14 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
15 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
16 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
17 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
18 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
19 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
20 to such item; or
21 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
22 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
23 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
24 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
25 following:
26 (a) the person during the same taxable

HB1371- 18 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
2 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
3 not a related member, and
4 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
5 intangible expense or cost between the
6 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
7 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
8 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
9 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
10 or
11 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
12 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
13 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
14 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
15 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
16 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
17 writing to the application or use of an alternative
18 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
19 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
20 Director from making any other adjustment
21 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
22 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
23 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
24 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
25 and such regulations provide methods and standards
26 by which the Department will utilize its authority

HB1371- 19 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 under Section 404 of this Act;
2 (D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
3 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
4 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
5 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
6 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
7 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
8 business group but for the fact that the person is
9 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
10 included in the unitary business group because he or
11 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
12 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
13 addition modification required by this subparagraph
14 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
15 included in base income of the unitary group for the
16 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
17 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
18 (including amounts included in gross income under
19 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
20 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
21 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
22 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
23 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
24 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
25 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
26 modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) or

14 the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
15 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
16 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
17 who would be a member of the same unitary business
18 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
19 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
20 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
21 required to apportion business income under different
22 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
23 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
24 extent that dividends were included in base income of
25 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
26 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the

HB1371- 40 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b

14 with respect to such interest; or
15 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
16 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
17 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
18 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
19 following:
20 (a) the person, during the same taxable
21 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
22 to a person that is not a related member, and
23 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
24 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
25 person did not have as a principal purpose the
26 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid

HB1371- 41 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
2 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
3 terms; or
4 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
5 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
6 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
7 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
8 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
9 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
10 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

12 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
13 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or

16 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
17 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
18 Director from making any other adjustment
19 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
20 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
21 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
22 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
23 and such regulations provide methods and standards
24 by which the Department will utilize its authority
25 under Section 404 of this Act;
26 (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible

HB1371- 42 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
2 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
3 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
4 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
5 foreign person who would be a member of the same
6 unitary business group but for the fact that the
7 foreign person's business activity outside the United
8 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
9 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
10 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
11 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
12 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
13 from being included in the unitary business group
14 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
15 business income under different subsections of Section
16 304. The addition modification required by this
17 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
18 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
19 group for the same taxable year and received by the

25 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
26 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or

HB1371- 43 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
2 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
3 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
4 modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
5 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
6 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
7 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or

10 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
11 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
12 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and

15 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
16 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
17 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
18 similar types of intangible assets.
19 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

21 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
22 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
23 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
24 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
25 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
26 to such item; or

HB1371- 44 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
2 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
3 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
4 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
5 following:
6 (a) the person during the same taxable
7 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
8 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
9 not a related member, and
10 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
11 intangible expense or cost between the
12 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
13 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
14 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
15 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
16 or
17 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
18 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
19 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
20 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
21 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
22 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
23 writing to the application or use of an alternative
24 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
25 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
26 Director from making any other adjustment

HB1371- 45 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
2 any tax year beginning after the effective date of

11 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
12 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
13 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
14 business group but for the fact that the person is
15 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
16 included in the unitary business group because he or
17 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
18 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
19 addition modification required by this subparagraph
20 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
21 included in base income of the unitary group for the
22 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
23 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
24 (including amounts included in gross income under
25 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code

15 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
16 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
17 who would be a member of the same unitary business
18 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
19 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
20 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
21 required to apportion business income under different
22 subsections of Section 304, but not to exceed the
23 addition modification required to be made for the same
24 taxable year under Section 203(b)(2)(E-13) for

2 on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for the
3 taxable year under subsection (k) of Section 168 of the

4 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
5 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
6 who would be a member of the same unitary business
7 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
8 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
9 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
10 required to apportion business income under different
11 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
12 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
13 extent that dividends were included in base income of
14 the unitary group for the same taxable year and

19 included in gross income under Section 78 of the
20 Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the
21 same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or
22 incurred.
23 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
24 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
25 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
26 is subject in a foreign country or state, other

HB1371- 63 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
2 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
3 with respect to such interest; or
4 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
5 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
6 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
7 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
8 following:
9 (a) the person, during the same taxable
10 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
11 to a person that is not a related member, and
12 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
13 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
14 person did not have as a principal purpose the
15 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
16 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
17 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
18 terms; or
19 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
20 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
21 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
22 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
23 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
24 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
25 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
26 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if

HB1371- 64 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b

2 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
3 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
4 to the application or use of an alternative method
5 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
6 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
7 Director from making any other adjustment
8 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
9 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
10 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
11 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
12 and such regulations provide methods and standards
13 by which the Department will utilize its authority
14 under Section 404 of this Act;
15 (G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
16 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
17 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
18 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
19 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
20 foreign person who would be a member of the same
21 unitary business group but for the fact that the
22 foreign person's business activity outside the United
23 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
24 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
25 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
26 the same unitary business group but for the fact that

HB1371- 65 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
2 from being included in the unitary business group
3 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
4 business income under different subsections of Section
5 304. The addition modification required by this
6 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
7 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
8 group for the same taxable year and received by the
9 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
10 business group (including amounts included in gross
11 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
12 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
13 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
14 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
15 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
16 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
17 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
18 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
19 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
20 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
21 "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
22 expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
23 direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
24 management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
25 disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
26 incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring

HB1371- 66 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
2 patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
3 fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
4 purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
5 includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
6 trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
7 trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
8 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
9 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
10 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
11 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
12 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
13 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
14 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
15 to such item; or
16 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
17 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
18 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
19 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
20 following:
21 (a) the person during the same taxable
22 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
23 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
24 not a related member, and
25 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
26 intangible expense or cost between the

HB1371- 67 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
2 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
3 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
4 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
5 or
6 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
7 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
8 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
9 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
10 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
11 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
12 writing to the application or use of an alternative
13 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
14 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
15 Director from making any other adjustment
16 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
17 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
18 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
19 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
20 and such regulations provide methods and standards
21 by which the Department will utilize its authority
22 under Section 404 of this Act;
23 (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
24 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
25 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
26 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were

HB1371- 68 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
2 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
3 business group but for the fact that the person is
4 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
5 included in the unitary business group because he or
6 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
7 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
8 addition modification required by this subparagraph
9 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
10 included in base income of the unitary group for the
11 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
12 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
13 (including amounts included in gross income under
14 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
15 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
16 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
17 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
18 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
19 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
20 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
21 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
22 Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
23 (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to
24 the taxpayer under Section 218(a) of this Act,
25 determined without regard to Section 218(c) of this
26 Act;

17 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
18 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
19 who would be a member of the same unitary business
20 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
21 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
22 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
23 required to apportion business income under different
24 subsections of Section 304, but not to exceed the

22 in the computation of taxable income;

22 taxpayer may claim a depreciation deduction for
23 federal income tax purposes and for which the taxpayer
24 was allowed in any taxable year to make a subtraction
25 modification under subparagraph (O), then an amount
26 equal to that subtraction modification.

HB1371- 79 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 The taxpayer is required to make the addition
2 modification under this subparagraph only once with
3 respect to any one piece of property;
4 (D-7) An amount equal to the amount otherwise
5 allowed as a deduction in computing base income for
6 interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
7 indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
8 December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
9 member of the same unitary business group but for the
10 fact the foreign person's business activity outside
11 the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
12 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
13 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
14 who would be a member of the same unitary business
15 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
16 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
17 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
18 required to apportion business income under different
19 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
20 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
21 extent that dividends were included in base income of
22 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
23 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
24 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
25 included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951

HB1371- 80 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 included in gross income under Section 78 of the
2 Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the
3 same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or
4 incurred.
5 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
6 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
7 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
8 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
9 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
10 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
11 with respect to such interest; or
12 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
13 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
14 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
15 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
16 following:
17 (a) the person, during the same taxable
18 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
19 to a person that is not a related member, and
20 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
21 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
22 person did not have as a principal purpose the
23 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
24 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
25 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
26 terms; or

HB1371- 81 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
2 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
3 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
4 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
5 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
6 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
7 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
8 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
9 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
10 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
11 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
12 to the application or use of an alternative method
13 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
14 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
15 Director from making any other adjustment
16 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
17 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
18 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
19 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
20 and such regulations provide methods and standards
21 by which the Department will utilize its authority
22 under Section 404 of this Act; and
23 (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
24 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
25 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
26 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable

HB1371- 82 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
2 foreign person who would be a member of the same
3 unitary business group but for the fact that the
4 foreign person's business activity outside the United
5 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
6 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
7 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
8 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
9 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
10 from being included in the unitary business group
11 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
12 business income under different subsections of Section
13 304. The addition modification required by this
14 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
15 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
16 group for the same taxable year and received by the
17 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
18 business group (including amounts included in gross
19 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
20 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
21 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
22 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
23 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
24 indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
25 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
26 dividends caused a reduction to the addition

HB1371- 83 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
2 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
3 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
4 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
5 indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
6 ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
7 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
8 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
9 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
10 copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
11 similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
12 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
13 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
14 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
15 similar types of intangible assets;
16 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
17 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
18 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
19 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
20 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
21 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
22 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
23 to such item; or
24 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
25 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
26 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based

HB1371- 84 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
2 following:
3 (a) the person during the same taxable
4 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
5 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
6 not a related member, and
7 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
8 intangible expense or cost between the
9 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
10 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
11 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
12 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
13 or
14 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
15 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
16 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
17 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
18 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
19 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
20 writing to the application or use of an alternative
21 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
22 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
23 Director from making any other adjustment
24 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
25 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
26 this amendment provided such adjustment is made

HB1371- 85 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
2 and such regulations provide methods and standards
3 by which the Department will utilize its authority
4 under Section 404 of this Act;
5 (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
6 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance
7 premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
8 deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
9 accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
10 person who would be a member of the same unitary
11 business group but for the fact that the person is
12 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
13 included in the unitary business group because he or
14 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
15 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
16 addition modification required by this subparagraph
17 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
18 included in base income of the unitary group for the
19 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
20 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
21 (including amounts included in gross income under
22 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
23 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
24 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
25 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
26 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The

HB1371- 86 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
2 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
3 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or
4 Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;
5 (D-10) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

16 taxable income as modified by subparagraphs (A), (B),
17 (C) and (D) which are exempt from taxation by this
18 State either by reason of its statutes or Constitution
19 or by reason of the Constitution, treaties or statutes
20 of the United States; provided that, in the case of any
21 statute of this State that exempts income derived from
22 bonds or other obligations from the tax imposed under
23 this Act, the amount exempted shall be the interest net
24 of bond premium amortization;
25 (H) Any income of the partnership which
26 constitutes personal service income as defined in

HB1371- 87 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b

10 taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
11 applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
12 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
13 (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
14 Revenue Code.
15 (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
16 subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
17 federal income tax purposes shall mean:

19 of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
20 by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life

16 filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
17 for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
18 for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
19 purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
20 taxable income shall be determined as if the election
21 provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue
22 Code had been in effect for all such years;
23 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
24 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
25 organization determined in accordance with the
26 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal

HB1371- 96 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
2 against offsetting losses from patronage activities
3 against income from nonpatronage activities; except
4 that a cooperative corporation or association may make
5 an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
6 of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
7 event such election is made, such losses shall be
8 computed and carried over in a manner consistent with
9 subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
10 apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
11 the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
12 for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
13 The election shall be effective for all taxable years
14 with original returns due on or after the date of the
15 election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
16 amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
17 to provide that the election shall be effective for
18 losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
19 occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,
20 the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
21 Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting
22 forth requirements for documenting the elections and
23 any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
24 used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
25 elections. Public Act 96-932 This amendatory Act of the
26 96th General Assembly is declaratory of existing law;

HB1371- 97 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
2 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
3 an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
4 the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
5 corporation determined in accordance with Section
6 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
7 taxable income shall take into account those items
8 which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
9 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
10 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
11 a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
12 Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
13 instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
14 effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
15 corporation determined in accordance with the federal
16 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
17 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
18 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
19 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
20 income shall take into account those items which are
21 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
22 but which would be taken into account by an individual
23 in calculating his taxable income.
24 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
25 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
26 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or

HB1371- 98 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 business has been classified as business income and in a
2 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
3 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
4 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
5 related to that asset or business that generated the
6 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
7 business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
8 or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
9 using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
10 for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
11 taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
12 computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
13 the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
14 taxable years.
15 (f) Valuation limitation amount.
16 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
17 referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
18 (d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
19 (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
20 amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
21 under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
22 Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
23 which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
24 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
25 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of

HB1371- 99 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
2 gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
3 the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
4 taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
5 such gain included in the amount determined under
6 subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
7 (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
8 (A) If the fair market value of property referred
9 to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
10 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
11 such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
12 fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
13 determining gain) for such property on that date
14 (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
15 effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
16 and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
17 respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
18 such property.
19 (B) If the fair market value of property referred
20 to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
21 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
22 amount for such property is that amount which bears the
23 same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
24 property for federal income tax purposes for the
25 taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
26 that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the

HB1371- 100 -LRB097 06433 NHT 47211 b
1 property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
2 full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
3 period for the property.
4 (C) The Department shall prescribe such
5 regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
6 purposes of this paragraph.
7 (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
8otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
9to be deducted more than once.
10 (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
11this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
12the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
13account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
14taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
15year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
16computation of base income and net income under this Act for
17such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
18August 1, 1969 or otherwise.
