(5) "Qualified rehabilitation expenditures" means expenditures paid or incurred during the rehabilitation period by an owner or qualified lessee of a historic building to rehabilitate the building, including architectural or engineering fees paid or incurred in connection with the rehabilitation and expenses paid or incurred in the preparation of nomination forms for listing the building on the national register of historic places. "Qualified rehabilitation expenditures" does not include the cost of acquiring a building or expenditures to expand or enlarge a historic building.

(6) "Registered historic district" means a historic district listed in the national register of historic places under 16 U.S.C. 470a, a historic district designated by a local government certified under 16 U.S.C. 470a(c), or a local historic district certified under 36 C.F.R. 67.8 and 67.9.

(7) "Rehabilitation" means the process of returning a building or buildings to a state of utility, through repair or alteration, making possible an efficient use while preserving those portions and features of the building and its site and environment that are significant to its historic, architectural, and cultural values.

The form and manner of filing such applications shall be prescribed by the state historic preservation officer or the officer's designee. The officer or the officer's designee shall accept and review such applications, and shall approve issuance of a rehabilitation tax credit certificate to an applicant if the officer or designee determines:

(1) That the building that is the subject of the application is a historic building;

(2) That the rehabilitation satisfies standards prescribed by the United States secretary of the interior under 16 U.S.C. 470, et seq., as amended, and 36 C.F.R. 67.7 or a successor to that section; and

The amount of qualified rehabilitation expenditures for which a tax credit may be claimed is subject to inspection and examination by the tax commissioner or employees of the commissioner under section 5703.19 of the Revised Code and any other applicable provision of law. Upon the issuance of a certificate, the state historic preservation officer or designee shall certify to the tax commissioner, in the form and manner requested by the tax commissioner, the name of the applicant, the dollar amount of qualified rehabilitation expenditures shown on the certificate, the registration number of the certificate, and any other information required by the tax commissioner.

The register shall record, according to the registration number of each certificate issued, the name of the person to which the certificate is issued and the dollar amount of qualified rehabilitation expenditures the person claims to have paid or incurred.

Sec. 5733.47. (A) As used in this section, "certificate owner" and "qualified rehabilitation expenditures" have the same meanings as in section 149.307 of the Revised Code.

(B) There is hereby allowed a nonrefundable credit against the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code for a taxpayer that is the certificate owner of a rehabilitation tax credit certificate issued under section 149.305 of the Revised Code. The credit equals twenty-five per cent of the dollar amount of the taxpayer's qualified rehabilitation expenditures indicated in the tax commissioner's register maintained under section 5703.75 of the Revised Code. The credit shall be claimed in the order prescribed in section 5733.98 of the Revised Code. If the amount of the credit exceeds the amount of tax otherwise due under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code after deducting any other credits preceding the credit allowed by this section in that order, the excess may be carried forward and deducted from the tax otherwise due for ten subsequent tax years following the tax year for which the credit is claimed under this section.

Credits allowed under this section may be claimed beginning with tax year 2006. The total amount of credits claimed under this section by a taxpayer for the same historic building shall not exceed fifty thousand dollars.

A taxpayer claiming a credit under this section shall retain the rehabilitation tax credit certificate for four years following the end of the last tax year to which the credit, including any carried-forward amount, is applied, and shall make the certificate available for inspection by the tax commissioner upon the commissioner's request during that period.

Any excess amount of a particular credit may be carried forward if authorized under the section creating that credit.

Sec. 5747.08.  An annual return with respect to the tax imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code and each tax imposed under Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code shall be made by every taxpayer for any taxable year for which the taxpayer is liable for the tax imposed by that section or under that chapter, unless the total credits allowed under divisions (E), (F), and (G) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for the year are equal to or exceed the tax imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code, in which case no return shall be required unless the taxpayer is liable for a tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code.

(A) If an individual is deceased, any return or notice required of that individual under this chapter shall be made and filed by that decedent's executor, administrator, or other person charged with the property of that decedent.

Such pass-through entity investors for whom the pass-through entity elects to file a single return are not entitled to the exemption or credit provided for by sections 5747.02 and 5747.022 of the Revised Code; shall calculate the tax before business credits at the highest rate of tax set forth in section 5747.02 of the Revised Code for the taxable year for which the return is filed; and are entitled to only their distributive share of the business credits as defined in division (D)(2) of this section. A single check drawn by the pass-through entity shall accompany the return in full payment of the tax due, as shown on the single return, for such investors, other than investors who are persons subject to the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code.

(b)(i) A pass-through entity shall not include in such a single return any investor that is a trust to the extent that any direct or indirect current, future, or contingent beneficiary of the trust is a person subject to the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code.

(ii) A pass-through entity shall not include in such a single return any investor that is itself a pass-through entity to the extent that any direct or indirect investor in the second pass-through entity is a person subject to the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code.

(c) Nothing in division (D) of this section precludes the tax commissioner from requiring such investors to file the return and make the payment of taxes and related interest, penalty, and interest penalty required by this section or section 5747.02, 5747.09, or 5747.15 of the Revised Code. Nothing in division (D) of this section shall be construed to provide to such an investor or pass-through entity any additional deduction or credit, other than the credit provided by division (J) of this section, solely on account of the entity's filing a return in accordance with this section. Such a pass-through entity also shall make the filing and payment of estimated taxes on behalf of the pass-through entity investors other than an investor that is a person subject to the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code.

(2) For the purposes of this section, "business credits" means the credits listed in section 5747.98 of the Revised Code excluding the following credits:

(g) The lump sum retirement income credit under division (E) of section 5747.055 of the Revised Code;

(h) The credit for displaced workers who pay for job training under section 5747.27 of the Revised Code;

(i) The twenty-dollar personal exemption credit under section 5747.022 of the Revised Code;

(j) The joint filing credit under division (G) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code;

(k) The nonresident credit under division (A) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code;

(l) The credit for a resident's out-of-state income under division (B) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code;

(m) The credit for rehabilitating historic buildings under section 5747.76 of the Revised Code, if the historic building is not income-producing property.

(3) The election provided for under division (D) of this section applies only to the taxable year for which the election is made by the pass-through entity. Unless the tax commissioner provides otherwise, this election, once made, is binding and irrevocable for the taxable year for which the election is made. Nothing in this division shall be construed to provide for any deduction or credit that would not be allowable if a nonresident pass-through entity investor were to file an annual return.

(4) If a pass-through entity makes the election provided for under division (D) of this section, the pass-through entity shall be liable for any additional taxes, interest, interest penalty, or penalties imposed by this chapter if the commissioner finds that the single return does not reflect the correct tax due by the pass-through entity investors covered by that return. Nothing in this division shall be construed to limit or alter the liability, if any, imposed on pass-through entity investors for unpaid or underpaid taxes, interest, interest penalty, or penalties as a result of the pass-through entity's making the election provided for under division (D) of this section. For the purposes of division (D) of this section, "correct tax due" means the tax that would have been paid by the pass-through entity had the single return been filed in a manner reflecting the commissioner's findings. Nothing in division (D) of this section shall be construed to make or hold a pass-through entity liable for tax attributable to a pass-through entity investor's income from a source other than the pass-through entity electing to file the single return.

(E) If a husband and wife file a joint federal income tax return for a taxable year, they shall file a joint return under this section for that taxable year, and their liabilities are joint and several, but, if the federal income tax liability of either spouse is determined on a separate federal income tax return, they shall file separate returns under this section.

If either spouse is not required to file a federal income tax return and either or both are required to file a return pursuant to this chapter, they may elect to file separate or joint returns, and, pursuant to that election, their liabilities are separate or joint and several. If a husband and wife file separate returns pursuant to this chapter, each must claim the taxpayer's own exemption, but not both, as authorized under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code on the taxpayer's own return.

(F) Each return or notice required to be filed under this section shall contain the signature of the taxpayer or the taxpayer's duly authorized agent and of the person who prepared the return for the taxpayer, and shall include the taxpayer's social security number. Each return shall be verified by a declaration under the penalties of perjury. The tax commissioner shall prescribe the form that the signature and declaration shall take.

(G) Each return or notice required to be filed under this section shall be made and filed as required by section 5747.04 of the Revised Code, on or before the fifteenth day of April of each year, on forms that the tax commissioner shall prescribe, together with remittance made payable to the treasurer of state in the combined amount of the state and all school district income taxes shown to be due on the form, unless the combined amount shown to be due is one dollar or less, in which case that amount need not be remitted.

Upon good cause shown, the commissioner may extend the period for filing any notice or return required to be filed under this section and may adopt rules relating to extensions. If the extension results in an extension of time for the payment of any state or school district income tax liability with respect to which the return is filed, the taxpayer shall pay at the time the tax liability is paid an amount of interest computed at the rate per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code on that liability from the time that payment is due without extension to the time of actual payment. Except as provided in section 5747.132 of the Revised Code, in addition to all other interest charges and penalties, all taxes imposed under this chapter or Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code and remaining unpaid after they become due, except combined amounts due of one dollar or less, bear interest at the rate per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code until paid or until the day an assessment is issued under section 5747.13 of the Revised Code, whichever occurs first.

If the commissioner considers it necessary in order to ensure the payment of the tax imposed by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code or any tax imposed under Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code, the commissioner may require returns and payments to be made otherwise than as provided in this section.

(H) If any report, claim, statement, or other document required to be filed, or any payment required to be made, within a prescribed period or on or before a prescribed date under this chapter is delivered after that period or that date by United States mail to the agency, officer, or office with which the report, claim, statement, or other document is required to be filed, or to which the payment is required to be made, the date of the postmark stamped on the cover in which the report, claim, statement, or other document, or payment is mailed shall be deemed to be the date of delivery or the date of payment.

If a payment is required to be made by electronic funds transfer pursuant to section 5747.072 of the Revised Code, the payment is considered to be made when the payment is received by the treasurer of state or credited to an account designated by the treasurer of state for the receipt of tax payments.

"The date of the postmark" means, in the event there is more than one date on the cover, the earliest date imprinted on the cover by the United States postal service.

(I) The amounts withheld by the employer pursuant to section 5747.06 of the Revised Code shall be allowed to the recipient of the compensation as credits against payment of the appropriate taxes imposed on the recipient by section 5747.02 and under Chapter 5748. of the Revised Code.

(J) If, in accordance with division (D) of this section, a pass-through entity elects to file a single return and if any investor is required to file the return and make the payment of taxes required by this chapter on account of the investor's other income that is not included in a single return filed by a pass-through entity, the investor is entitled to a refundable credit equal to the investor's proportionate share of the tax paid by the pass-through entity on behalf of the investor. The investor shall claim the credit for the investor's taxable year in which or with which ends the taxable year of the pass-through entity. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to allow any credit provided in this chapter to be claimed more than once. For the purposes of computing any interest, penalty, or interest penalty, the investor shall be deemed to have paid the refundable credit provided by this division on the day that the pass-through entity paid the estimated tax or the tax giving rise to the credit.

Sec. 5747.76. (A) As used in this section, "certificate owner" and "qualified rehabilitation expenditures" have the same meanings as in section 149.307 of the Revised Code.

(B) There is hereby allowed a nonrefundable credit against the tax imposed under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code for a taxpayer that is the certificate owner of a rehabilitation tax credit certificate issued under section 149.307 of the Revised Code. The credit equals twenty-five per cent of the dollar amount of the taxpayer's qualified rehabilitation expenditures indicated in the tax commissioner's register maintained under section 5703.75 of the Revised Code. The credit shall be claimed in the order prescribed in section 5747.98 of the Revised Code. If the amount of the credit exceeds the amount of tax otherwise due under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code after deducting any other credits preceding the credit allowed by this section in that order, the excess may be carried forward and deducted from the tax otherwise due for ten subsequent taxable years following the tax year for which the credit is claimed under this section.

Nothing in this section limits or disallows pass-through treatment of the credit if the certificate owner is a pass-through entity.

The credit may be claimed for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2006. The total amount of credits claimed under this section by a taxpayer for the same historic building for all taxable years shall not exceed fifty thousand dollars.

A taxpayer claiming a credit under this section shall retain the rehabilitation tax credit certificate for four years following the end of the last taxable year to which the credit, including any carried-forward amount, is applied, and shall make the certificate available for inspection by the tax commissioner upon the commissioner's request during that period.
