Sec. 5. As used in this chapter, "state tax liability" means a taxpayer's total tax liability that is incurred under:
(1) IC 6-3-1 through IC 6-3-7 (the adjusted gross income tax);
(2) IC 6-5.5 (the financial institutions tax); and

Sec. 6. As used in this chapter, "taxpayer" means a person, corporation, partnership, or other entity that has any state tax liability.
Sec. 7. Each taxable year, a farmer who installs insulated curtains during the taxable year at a farm building located in Indiana is entitled to a credit against the farmer's state tax liability in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the farmer's expenditures during the taxable year for the insulated curtains and associated installation costs.
Sec. 8. (a) If a pass through entity does not have state tax liability for a taxable year but is otherwise entitled to the tax credit provided by this chapter, each shareholder, partner, or member of the pass through entity is entitled to a share of the tax credit equal to:
(1) the amount of the tax credit determined for the pass through entity for the taxable year; multiplied by
(2) the percentage of the pass through entity's distributive income to which the shareholder, partner, or member is entitled.
(b) A share of a tax credit allocated under subsection (a) is in addition to a tax credit to which a shareholder, partner, or member of a pass through entity is otherwise entitled under this chapter. However, neither a pass through entity nor a shareholder, partner, or member of the pass through entity may claim more than one (1) credit in a taxable year for the same expenditure on insulated curtains and associated installation costs.
Sec. 9. (a) If the credit provided by this chapter exceeds a taxpayer's state tax liability for the taxable year for which the credit is first claimed, the excess may be carried forward to
succeeding taxable years and used as a credit against the
taxpayer's state tax liability during those taxable years. Each time
the credit is carried forward to a succeeding taxable year, the
credit is to be reduced by the amount that was used as a credit
during the immediately preceding taxable year. The credit
provided by this chapter may be carried forward and applied to
succeeding taxable years for not more than nine (9) taxable years
following the first year the credit is claimed.

unused credit under this chapter.

must claim the credit on the taxpayer's annual state tax return or
returns in the manner prescribed by the department.
