1. (A) A credit shall be allowed under this subsection with respect to tangible personal property and other tangible property, including buildings and structural components of buildings, which are: depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code, have a useful life of four years or more, are acquired by purchase as defined in section one hundred seventy-nine (d) of the internal revenue code, have a situs in this state and are (i) principally used by the taxpayer in the production of goods by manufacturing, processing, assembling, refining, mining, extracting, farming, agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture or commercial fishing, (ii) industrial waste treatment facilities or air pollution control facilities, used in the taxpayer's trade or business, (iii) research and development property, (iv) principally used in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's trade or business as a broker or dealer in connection with the purchase or sale (which shall include but not be limited to the issuance, entering into, assumption, offset, assignment, termination, or transfer) of stocks, bonds or other securities as defined in section four hundred seventy-five (c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, or of commodities as defined in section 475(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, (v) principally used in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's trade or business of providing investment advisory services for a regulated investment company as defined in section eight hundred fifty-one of the Internal Revenue Code, or lending, loan arrangement or loan origination services to customers in connection with the purchase or sale (which shall include but not be limited to the issuance, entering into, assumption, offset, assignment, termination, or transfer) of securities as defined in section four hundred seventy-five (c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (vi) principally used as a qualified film production facility including qualified film production facilities having a situs in an empire zone designated as such pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law, where the taxpayer is providing three or more services to any qualified film production company using the facility, including such services as a studio lighting grid, lighting and grip equipment, multi-line phone service, broadband information technology access, industrial scale electrical capacity, food services, security services, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. For purposes of clauses (iv) and (v) of this subparagraph, property purchased by a taxpayer affiliated with a regulated broker, dealer, or registered investment adviser is allowed a credit under this subsection if the property is used by its affiliated regulated broker, dealer or registered investment adviser in accordance with this subsection. For purposes of determining if the property is principally used in qualifying uses, the uses by the taxpayer described in clauses (iv) and (v) of this subparagraph may be aggregated. In addition, the uses by the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer and registered investment adviser under either or both of those clauses may be aggregated. Provided, however, a taxpayer shall not be allowed the credit provided by clauses (iv) and (v) of this subparagraph unless (I) eighty percent or more of the employees performing the administrative and support functions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment are located in this state, or (II) the average number of employees that perform the administrative and support functions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment and are located in this state during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal to or greater than ninety-five percent of the average number of employees that perform these functions and are located in this state during the thirty-six months immediately preceding the year for which the credit is claimed, or (III) the number of employees located in this state during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal to or greater than ninety percent of the number of employees located in this state on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight or, if the taxpayer was not a calendar year taxpayer in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, the last day of its first taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight. If the taxpayer becomes subject to tax in this state after the taxable year beginning in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, then the taxpayer is not required to satisfy the employment test provided in the preceding sentence of this subparagraph for its first taxable year. For the purposes of clause (III) of this subparagraph the employment test will be based on the number of employees located in this state on the last day of the first taxable year the taxpayer is subject to tax in this state. If the uses of the property must be aggregated to determine whether the property is principally used in qualifying uses, then either each affiliate using the property must satisfy this employment test or this employment test must be satisfied through the aggregation of the employees of the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer, and registered investment adviser using the property. For purposes of clause (i) of this subparagraph, tangible personal property and other tangible property shall not include property principally used by the taxpayer in the production or distribution of electricity, natural gas after extraction from wells, steam, or water delivered through pipes and mains.
2. (B) For purposes of this paragraph, the following definitions shall apply:
3. (i) Manufacturing shall mean the process of working raw materials into wares suitable for use or which gives new shapes, new quality or new combinations to matter which already has gone through some artificial process by the use of machinery, tools, appliances and other similar equipment. Property used in the production of goods shall include machinery, equipment or other tangible property which is principally used in the repair and service of other machinery, equipment or other tangible property used principally in the production of goods and shall include all facilities used in the production operation, including storage of material to be used in production and of the products that are produced.
4. (ii) Research and development property shall mean property which is used for purposes of research and development in the experimental or laboratory sense. Such purposes shall not be deemed to include the ordinary testing or inspection of materials or products for quality control, efficiency surveys, management studies, consumer surveys, advertising, promotions, or research in connection with literary, historical or similar projects.
5. (iii) Industrial waste treatment facilities shall mean property constituting facilities for the treatment, neutralization or stabilization of industrial waste and other wastes (as the terms "industrial waste" and "other wastes" are defined in section 17-0105 of the environmental conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point of such treatment, neutralization or stabilization to the point of disposal, including the necessary pumping and transmitting facilities, but excluding such facilities installed for the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable.
6. (iv) Air pollution control facilities shall mean property constituting facilities which remove, reduce, or render less noxious air contaminants emitted from an air contamination source (as the terms "air contaminant" and "air contamination source" are defined in section 19-0107 of the environmental conservation law) from a point immediately preceding the point of such removal, reduction or rendering to the point of discharge of air, meeting emission standards as established by the department of environmental conservation, but excluding such facilities installed for the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable and excluding those facilities which rely for their efficacy on dilution, dispersion or assimilation of air contaminants in the ambient air after emission. Such term shall further include flue gas desulfurization equipment and attendant sludge disposal facilities, fluidized bed boilers, precombustion coal cleaning facilities or other facilities that conform with this subsection and which comply with the provisions of the State Acid Deposition Control Act set forth in title nine of article nineteen of the environmental conservation law.
7. (v) For purposes of this paragraph, the terms "qualified film production facility" and "qualified film production company" shall have the same meaning as in section twenty-four of this chapter.
8. (C) However, such credit shall be allowed with respect to industrial waste treatment facilities and air pollution control facilities only on condition that such facilities have been certified by the state commissioner of environmental conservation or his designated representative, pursuant to subdivision one of section 17-0707 or subdivision one of section 19-0309 of the environmental conservation law, as complying with applicable provisions of the environmental conservation law, the public health law, the state sanitary code and codes, rules, regulations, permits or orders issued pursuant thereto.

1. (A) With respect to property which is depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code but is not subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of such code and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of its useful life, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. For purposes of this subparagraph, useful life of property shall be the same as the taxpayer uses for depreciation purposes when computing his federal income tax liability.
2. (B) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph (D) of this paragraph applies, with respect to three-year property, as defined in subsection (e) of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code, which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of thirty-six months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six.
3. (C) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph (D) of this paragraph applies, with respect to property subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code, other than three-year property as defined in subsection (e) of such section one hundred sixty-eight which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of sixty months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty.
4. (D) With respect to any property to which section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code applies, which is a building or a structural component of a building and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the period over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code.
5. (E) For purposes of this paragraph, property (i) which is described in subparagraph (B), (C) or (D) of this paragraph, and (ii) which is subject to paragraph twenty-six of subsection (c) and paragraph twenty-five of subsection (b) of section six hundred twelve of this chapter, shall be treated as property which is depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code but is not subject to section one hundred sixty-eight of such code.
6. (F) For purposes of this paragraph, where a credit is allowed with respect to an air pollution control facility on the basis of a certificate of compliance issued pursuant to the environmental conservation law and the certificate is revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the environmental conservation law, such revocation shall constitute a disposal or cessation of qualified use, unless such facility is described in clause (i) or (iii) of subparagraph (A) of paragraph two of this subsection. Also for purposes of this subparagraph, the use of an air pollution control facility or an industrial waste treatment facility for the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable shall constitute a cessation of qualified use, unless such facility is described in clause (i) or (iii) of subparagraph (A) of paragraph two of this subsection.
7. (G) For taxable years commencing on or after January first, nineteen hundred eighty-seven, the amount required to be added back pursuant to this paragraph shall be augmented by an amount equal to the product of such amount and the underpayment rate of interest (without regard to compounding), set by the commissioner pursuant to subsection (j) of section six hundred ninety-seven, in effect on the last day of the taxable year.
8. (H) If, as of the close of the taxable year, there is a net increase with respect to the taxpayer in the amount of nonqualified nonrecourse financing (within the meaning of section 46(c) (8) of the internal revenue code) with respect to any property with respect to which the credit under this subsection was limited based on attributable nonqualified nonrecourse financing, then an amount equal to the decrease in such credit which would have resulted from reducing, by the amount of such net increase, the cost or other basis taken into account with respect to such property must be added back in such taxable year. The amount of nonqualified nonrecourse financing shall not be treated as increased by reason of a transfer of (or agreement to transfer) any evidence of an indebtedness if such transfer occurs (or such agreement is entered into) more than one year after the date such indebtedness was incurred.

9. (10) For purposes of paragraph five of this subsection, an individual who is either a sole proprietor or a member of a partnership shall qualify as an owner of a new business unless:

   1. (A) the business of which the individual is an owner is substantially similar in operation and in ownership to a business entity taxable, or previously taxable, under section one hundred eighty-three, one hundred eighty-four or former section one hundred eighty-five former section of article nine; article nine-A or thirty-three of this chapter; article twenty-three of this chapter or which would have been subject to tax under such article twenty-three (as such article was in effect on January first, nineteen hundred eighty), article thirty-two of this chapter or which would have been subject to tax under such article thirty-two (as such article was in effect on December thirty-first, two thousand fourteen) or the income (or losses) of which is (or was) includable under article twenty-two of this chapter whereby the intent and purpose of this paragraph and paragraph five of this subsection with respect to refunding of credit to new business would be evaded; or
   2. (B) the individual has operated such new business entity in this state for more than five taxable years (excluding short years of the business).
10. (11) Retail enterprise tax credit. A retail enterprise, not eligible to claim the credit under paragraph one of this subsection, but eligible to claim the credit allowable under section thirty-eight of the internal revenue code pursuant solely to the provisions of subparagraph (E) of paragraph one of subsection (a) of section forty-eight of such code, shall be allowed a credit as hereinafter computed. The amount of the credit shall be the percentage appearing in paragraph one of this subsection for the periods described therein for the amount of qualified rehabilitation expenditures, as defined in subsection (g) of section forty-eight of such code, paid or incurred with respect to a qualified rehabilitated building, as defined in such subsection (g), located in this state and such expenditures shall be further limited to only the portion thereof paid or incurred with respect to that part of a qualified rehabilitated building employed by such taxpayer in the retail sales activity of such retail enterprise. For the purposes of this subsection, the term "retail enterprise" means a taxpayer which is: (A) a registered vendor under article twenty-eight of this chapter, (B) primarily engaged in the retail sale, as the term "retail sale" is defined in subparagraph (i) of paragraph four of subdivision (b) of section eleven hundred one of this chapter, of tangible personal property, and (C) otherwise eligible for the credit allowed pursuant to section thirty-eight of the internal revenue code.
11. (12) Rehabilitation credit for historic barns. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as hereinafter provided, against the tax imposed by this article. The amount of the credit shall be twenty-five percent of the taxpayer's qualified rehabilitation expenditures, as defined in paragraph two of subsection (c) of section forty-seven of the internal revenue code, which qualify as the basis for the credit provided for under paragraph one of subsection (b) of section thirty-eight of such code by reason of subsection one of section forty-six of such code, paid or incurred with respect to any barn located in this state which is a qualified rehabilitated building, as such term is defined in paragraph one of subsection (c) of such section forty-seven. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "barn" means a building originally designed and used for storing farm equipment or agricultural products, or for housing livestock. Provided, however, such qualified rehabilitation expenditures shall not include any such expenditures which are included, directly or indirectly, in the computation of a credit claimed by the taxpayer pursuant to paragraph one of this subsection. Provided further that no rehabilitation credit shall be allowed for any rehabilitation of a barn which, immediately prior to the commencement of such rehabilitation, was used for residential purposes, or which converts a barn not suitable for residential purposes into one which is so suitable, nor shall a rehabilitation credit be allowed for any rehabilitation that materially alters the historic appearance of the barn. (13)(A)(i) If a taxpayer is required by paragraph seven of this subsection to add back a portion of the credit taken because property was destroyed or ceased to be in qualified use as a direct result of the September eleventh, two thousand one terrorist attacks, such taxpayer may elect to defer the amount to be recaptured for all such property to the taxable year next succeeding the taxable year in which the destruction or cessation of qualified use occurred. The taxable year in which the destruction or cessation of qualified use occurred shall be hereinafter referred to as the "recapture event taxable year". If the taxpayer's total employment number in the state on the last day of the taxable year next succeeding the recapture event taxable year is a significant percentage of the taxpayer's average total employment number in the state for the taxpayer's recapture event taxable year and the two taxable years immediately preceding the recapture event taxable year, then the taxpayer shall not be required to recapture any credit with respect to such property. If the taxpayer's total employment number in the state on the last day of the taxable year next succeeding the recapture event taxable year is not a significant percentage of the taxpayer's average total employment number in the state for the taxpayer's recapture event taxable year and the two taxable years immediately preceding the recapture event taxable year, the taxpayer shall be required to recapture the portion of the credit taken under this subsection, as required by paragraph seven of this subsection, for all of its property destroyed or which ceased to be in qualified use as a direct result of the September eleventh, two thousand one terrorist attacks. The amount required to be recaptured shall be augmented as required pursuant to subparagraph (G) of paragraph seven of this subsection by using an interest rate equal to two times the rate of interest specified in such subparagraph seven applicable for the taxable year in which the recapture occurs.
12. (ii) The taxpayer's total employment number shall include all employees of the taxpayer employed full-time by the taxpayer in the state. The average total employment number for the recapture event taxable year and the two taxable years immediately preceding the recapture event taxable year shall be computed by determining the taxpayer's total employment number on the thirty-first day of March, the thirtieth day of June, the thirtieth day of September and the thirty-first day of December during the applicable taxable years, adding together the number of such individuals determined to be so employed on each of such dates and dividing the sum so obtained by the number of such dates occurring within such applicable taxable years. However, in the case of the taxable year which included September eleventh, two thousand one, the average total employment number for such taxable year shall be determined by using the total employment number on September first, two thousand one in lieu of September thirtieth, two thousand one and, if such taxable year included December thirty-first, two thousand one, by excluding the total employment number on December thirty-first, two thousand one.
13. (B) In lieu of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, a taxpayer may elect to recapture the portion of the credit taken under this subsection, as required by paragraph seven of this subsection, for all of its property destroyed or which ceased to be in qualified use as a direct result of the September eleventh, two thousand one terrorist attacks, in the taxable year in which the destruction or cessation of qualified use occurred. If the taxpayer makes such election and acquires property (hereinafter referred to as "replacement property") to replace any property destroyed as a direct result of the September eleventh, two thousand one terrorist attacks (regardless of when such property was placed in service and whether a credit was claimed on that property pursuant to this subsection), and such replacement property is similar or related in service or use to such destroyed property, the investment credit base of the replacement property shall be determined without regard to any basis reduction required pursuant to section 1033 of the internal revenue code.
14. (C) The election made by the taxpayer under subparagraph (A) or (B) of this paragraph shall be made in the manner and form prescribed by the commissioner.
15. (D) A taxpayer, over fifty percent of whose employees died as a direct result of the September eleventh, two thousand one terrorist attacks, may make the election provided for in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, and shall not be required to recapture any credit with respect to property which was destroyed or which ceased to be in qualified use as a direct result of such attacks, whether or not it meets the employment test specified in clause (i) of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph.
16. (a-1) Employment incentive credit (EIC). (1)(A) Where a taxpayer is allowed a credit under subsection (a) of this section, other than at the optional rate applicable to research and development property, the taxpayer shall be allowed a credit for each of the two years next succeeding the taxable year for which the credit under such subsection (a) is allowed with respect to such property, whether or not deductible in such taxable year or in subsequent taxable years pursuant to paragraph five of subsection (a) of this section. Provided, however, that the credit allowable under this subsection for any taxable year shall be allowed only if the average number of employees during such taxable year is at least one hundred one percent of the average number of employees during the employment base year. The employment base year shall be the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year for which the credit under such subsection (a) is allowed except that in the case of a new business, the employment base year shall be the taxable year in which the credit under such subsection (a) is allowed.
17. (B) The amount of the credit allowed under this subsection shall be as set forth in the following table: Average number of employees during Credit allowed under this the taxable year expressed as a subsection expressed as a percentage of average number of percentage of the applicable employees in employment base year: investment credit base: Less than 102% 1.5% at least 102% and less than 103% 2% at least 103% 2.5%
18. (2) The average number of employees in a taxable year shall be computed by ascertaining the number of employees within the state employed by the taxpayer on the thirty-first day of March, the thirtieth day of June, the thirtieth day of September and the thirty-first day of December in the taxable year, by adding together the number of employees ascertained on each of such dates and dividing the sum so obtained by the number of such abovementioned dates occurring within the taxable year. For the purposes of this subsection, the term "employees within the state" shall not include, except with respect to the employment base year, any employee with respect to whom a credit provided for under subsection (k) of this section is claimed for the taxable year, based on employment within a zone equivalent area designated as such pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law.
19. (3) If the amount of credit allowable under this subsection for any taxable year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess allowed for a taxable year may be carried over to the ten taxable years next following such taxable year and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years. In lieu of carrying over any such excess, a taxpayer who qualifies as an owner of a new business for purposes of paragraph ten of subsection (a) of this section may, at his or her option, receive such excess as a refund. Any refund paid pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be a refund of an overpayment of tax as provided in section six hundred eighty-six of this article, provided, however, that no interest shall be paid thereon.
20. (a-2) Hire a vet credit. (1) Allowance of credit. For taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thousand fifteen and before January first, two thousand twenty-two, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as provided in this subsection, against the tax imposed by this article, for hiring and employing, for not less than one year and for not less than thirty-five hours each week, a qualified veteran within the state. The taxpayer may claim the credit in the year in which the qualified veteran completes one year of employment by the taxpayer. If the taxpayer claims the credit allowed under this subsection, the taxpayer may not use the hiring of a qualified veteran that is the basis for this credit in the basis of any other credit allowed under this article.

21. (2) Qualified veteran. A qualified veteran is an individual:

    1. (A) who served on active duty in the United States army, navy, air force, marine corps, coast guard or the reserves thereof, or who served in active military service of the United States as a member of the army national guard, air national guard, New York guard or New York naval militia; who (i) was released from active duty by general or honorable discharge after September eleventh, two thousand one, or (ii) has a qualifying condition, as defined in section three hundred fifty of the executive law, and has received a discharge other than bad conduct or dishonorable from such service after September eleventh, two thousand one, or (iii) is a discharged LGBT veteran, as defined in section three hundred fifty of the executive law, and has received a discharge other than bad conduct or dishonorable from such service after September eleventh, two thousand one;
    2. (B) who commences employment by the qualified taxpayer on or after January first, two thousand fourteen, and before January first, two thousand twenty-one; and
    3. (C) who certifies by signed affidavit, under penalty of perjury, that he or she has not been employed for thirty-five or more hours during any week in the one hundred eighty day period immediately prior to his or her employment by the taxpayer.
22. (3) Employer prohibition. An employer shall not discharge an employee and hire a qualifying veteran solely for the purpose of qualifying for this credit.
23. (4) Amount of credit. The amount of the credit shall be ten percent of the total amount of wages paid to he qualified veteran during the veteran's first full year of employment. Provided, however, that, if the qualified veteran is a disabled veteran, as defined in paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section eighty-five of the civil service law, the amount of the credit shall be fifteen percent of the total amount of wages paid to the qualified veteran during the veteran's first full year of employment. The credit allowed pursuant to this subsection shall not exceed in any taxable year, five thousand dollars for any qualified veteran and fifteen thousand dollars for any qualified veteran who is a disabled veteran.
24. (5) Carryover. If the amount of credit allowable under this subsection for any taxable year exceeds the taxpayer's tax for such year, any amount of credit not deductible in such taxable year may be carried over to the following three years and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.
25. (b) Household credit. (1) A household credit shall be allowed against the tax determined under subsections (a) through (d) of section six hundred one of this article. The credit, computed as described in paragraph two of this subsection, shall not exceed the tax determined under subsections (a) through (d) of section six hundred one for the taxable year, reduced by the credits permitted under sections six hundred twenty and six hundred twenty-one of this article.

26. (2)

    1.

Provided, however, for taxable years beginning after nineteen hundred ninety-nine, for a person whose New York adjusted gross income is less than forty thousand dollars, such applicable percentage shall be equal to (i) one hundred percent, plus (ii) ten percent multiplied by a fraction whose numerator shall be the lesser of (i) fifteen thousand dollars or (ii) forty thousand dollars less the New York adjusted gross income for the taxable year, provided such numerator shall not be less than zero, and whose denominator shall be fifteen thousand dollars. Provided, further, that if the reversion event, as defined in this paragraph, occurs, the applicable percentage shall, for taxable years ending on or after the date on which the reversion event occurred, be determined using the rules specified in this paragraph applicable to taxable years beginning in nineteen hundred ninety-nine. The reversion event shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which federal action, including but not limited to, administrative, statutory or regulatory changes, materially reduces or eliminates New York state's allocation of the federal temporary assistance for needy families block grant, or materially reduces the ability of the state to spend federal temporary assistance for needy families block grant funds for the credit for certain household and dependent care services necessary for gainful employment or to apply state general fund spending on the credit for certain household and dependent care services necessary for gainful employment toward the temporary assistance for needy families block grant maintenance of effort requirement, and the commissioner of the office of temporary and disability assistance shall certify the date of such event to the commissioner, the director of the division of the budget, the speaker of the assembly and the temporary president of the senate.
       2. (1-a) For taxable years beginning after two thousand seventeen, for a taxpayer with New York adjusted gross income of at least fifty thousand dollars but less than one hundred fifty thousand dollars, the applicable percentage shall be the applicable percentage otherwise computed under paragraph one of this subsection multiplied by a factor as follows: If New York adjusted gross income is: The factor is: At least $50,000 and less than $55,000 1.1682 At least $55,000 and less than $60,000 1.2733 At least $60,000 and less than $65,000 2.322 At least $65,000 and less than $150,000 3.000
       3. (1-b) Notwithstanding anything in this subsection to the contrary, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as provided in this subsection equal to the applicable percentage of the credit allowable under section twenty-one of the internal revenue code for the same taxable year (without regard to whether the taxpayer in fact claimed the credit under such section twenty-one for such taxable year) that would have been allowed absent the application of section 21(c) of such code for taxpayers with more than two qualifying individuals, provided however, that the credit shall be calculated as if the dollar limit on amount creditable shall not exceed seven thousand five hundred dollars if there are three qualifying individuals, eight thousand five hundred dollars if there are four qualifying individuals, and nine thousand dollars if there are five or more qualifying individuals.
       4. (2) Residents. In the case of a resident taxpayer, the credit under this subsection shall be allowed against the taxes imposed by this article for the taxable year reduced by the credits permitted by this article. If the credit exceeds the tax as so reduced, the taxpayer may receive, and the comptroller, subject to a certificate of the commissioner, shall pay as an overpayment, without interest, the amount of such excess.
       5. (3) Nonresidents. In the case of a nonresident taxpayer, the credit under this subsection shall be allowed against the tax determined under subsections (a) through (d) of section six hundred one. The amount of the credit shall not exceed the tax determined under such subsections for the taxable year reduced by the credit permitted under subsection (b) of this section.
       6. (4) Part-year residents. In the case of a part-year resident taxpayer, the credit under this subsection shall be allowed against the tax determined under subsections (a) through (d) of section six hundred one reduced by the credit permitted under subsection (b) of this section, and any excess credit after such application shall be allowed against the tax imposed by section six hundred three. Any remaining excess, after such application, shall be refunded as provided in paragraph two hereof, provided, however, that any overpayment under such paragraph shall be limited to the amount of the remaining excess multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is federal adjusted gross income for the period of residence, computed as if the taxable year for federal income tax purposes were limited to the period of residence, and the denominator of which is federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year.
       7. (5) In the case of a husband and wife who file a joint federal return, but who are required to determine their New York taxes separately, the credit allowed pursuant to this subsection may only be applied against the tax imposed on the spouse with the lower taxable income, computed without regard to such credit. In the case of a husband and wife who are not required to file a federal return, the credit under this subsection shall be allowed only if such taxpayers file a joint New York income tax return.
       8. (c-1) Empire state child credit. (1) A resident taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as provided herein equal to the greater of one hundred dollars times the number of qualifying children of the taxpayer or the applicable percentage of the child tax credit allowed the taxpayer under section twenty-four of the internal revenue code for the same taxable year for each qualifying child. Provided, however, in the case of a taxpayer whose federal adjusted gross income exceeds the applicable threshold amount set forth by section 24(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, the credit shall only be equal to the applicable percentage of the child tax credit allowed the taxpayer under section 24 of the Internal Revenue Code for each qualifying child. For the purposes of this subsection, a qualifying child shall be a child who meets the definition of qualified child under section 24(c) of the internal revenue code and is at least four years of age. The applicable percentage shall be thirty-three percent. For purposes of this subsection, any reference to section 24 of the Internal Revenue Code shall be a reference to such section as it existed immediately prior to the enactment of Public Law 115-97.
       9. (2) If the amount of the credit allowed under this subsection for any taxable year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section six hundred eighty-six of this article, provided, however, that no interest shall be paid thereon.
       10. (3) In the case of a husband and wife who file a joint federal return, but who are required to determine their New York taxes separately, the credit allowed pursuant to this subsection may be applied against the tax imposed of either or divided between them as they may elect.
       11. (d) Earned income credit. (1) General. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as provided herein equal to (i) the applicable percentage of the earned income credit allowed under section thirty-two of the internal revenue code for the same taxable year, (ii) reduced by the credit permitted under subsection (b) of this section. The applicable percentage shall be (i) seven and one-half percent for taxable years beginning in nineteen hundred ninety-four, (ii) ten percent for taxable years beginning in nineteen hundred ninety-five, (iii) twenty percent for taxable years beginning after nineteen hundred ninety-five and before two thousand, (iv) twenty-two and one-half percent for taxable years beginning in two thousand, (v) twenty-five percent for taxable years beginning in two thousand one, (vi) twenty-seven and one-half percent for taxable years beginning in two thousand two, and (vii) thirty percent for taxable years beginning in two thousand three and thereafter. Provided, however, that if the reversion event, as defined in this paragraph, occurs, the applicable percentage shall be twenty percent for taxable years ending on or after the date on which the reversion event occurred. The reversion event shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which federal action, including but not limited to, administrative, statutory or regulatory changes, materially reduces or eliminates New York state's allocation of the federal temporary assistance for needy families block grant, or materially reduces the ability of the state to spend federal temporary assistance for needy families block grant funds for the earned income credit or to apply state general fund spending on the earned income credit toward the temporary assistance for needy families block grant maintenance of effort requirement, and the commissioner of the office of temporary and disability assistance shall certify the date of such event to the commissioner of taxation and finance, the director of the division of the budget, the speaker of the assembly and the temporary president of the senate.
       12. (2) Residents. In the case of a resident taxpayer, the credit under this subsection shall be allowed against the taxes imposed by this article for the taxable year reduced by the credits permitted by this article. If the credit exceeds the tax as so reduced, the taxpayer may receive, and the comptroller, subject to a certificate of the commissioner, shall pay as an overpayment, without interest, the amount of such excess.
       13. (3) Nonresidents. In the case of a nonresident taxpayer, the credit under this subsection shall be allowed against the tax determined under subsections (a) through (d) of section six hundred one. The amount of the credit shall not exceed the tax determined under such subsections for the taxable year reduced by the credits permitted under subsections (b), (c) and (m) of this section.
       14. (4) Part-year residents. In the case of a part-year resident taxpayer, the credit under this subsection shall be allowed against the tax determined under subsections (a) through (d) of section six hundred one reduced by the credits permitted under subsections (b), (c) and (m) of this section, and any excess credit after such application shall be allowed against the tax imposed by section six hundred three. Any remaining excess, after such application, shall be refunded as provided in paragraph two hereof, provided, however, that any overpayment under such paragraph shall be limited to the amount of the remaining excess multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is federal adjusted gross income for the period of residence, computed as if the taxable year for federal income tax purposes were limited to the period of residence, and the denominator of which is federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year.
       15. (5) Husband and wife. In the case of a husband and wife who file a joint federal return but who are required to determine their New York taxes separately, the credit allowed pursuant to this subsection may be applied against the tax of either or divided between them as they may elect.
       16. (6) Notification. (A) The commissioner shall periodically, but not less than every three years, make efforts to alert taxpayers that may be currently eligible to receive the credit provided under this subsection, and the credit provided under any local law enacted pursuant to subsection (f) of section thirteen hundred ten of this chapter, as to their potential eligibility. In making the determination of whether a taxpayer may be eligible for such credit, the commissioner shall use such data as may be appropriate and available, including, but not limited to, data available from the United States Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service and New York state income tax returns for preceding tax years.
       17. (B) If the department determines that the taxpayer is eligible to receive the credit provided under this subsection but has not claimed such credit on his or her return, the department shall compute the taxpayer's liability and allow the credit, and, if applicable, issue any refund for the allowable credit amount provided under this subsection. Any refund paid pursuant to this subparagraph shall be deemed to be a refund of an overpayment of tax as provided in section six hundred eighty-six of this article, provided, however, that no interest shall be paid thereon.
       18. (7) Reports. The commissioner shall prepare a preliminary written report after July thirty-first and a final written report after December thirty-first of each calendar year, which shall contain statistical information regarding the credits granted on or before such dates under this subsection, and under any local law enacted pursuant to subsection (f) of section thirteen hundred ten of this chapter, during such calendar year. Copies of these reports shall be submitted by such commissioner to the governor, the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, the chairman of the senate finance committee and the chairman of the assembly ways and means committee within sixty days of July thirty-first with respect to the preliminary report, and within forty-five days of December thirty-first with respect to the final report, and copies of such reports with respect to credits under any local law enacted pursuant to subsection (f) of section thirteen hundred ten of this chapter shall be submitted in addition to the mayor and the speaker of the council of the city where such a local law is in effect. Such reports shall contain, but need not be limited to, the number of credits and the average amount of such credits allowed; and of those, the number of credits and the average amount of such credits allowed to taxpayers in each county; and of those, the number of credits and the average amount of such credits allowed to taxpayers whose earned income falls within ranges, determined by the commissioner, of not more than four thousand dollars; and of those, the number of credits and the average amount of such credits allowed to taxpayers who file under the different statuses set forth in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of section six hundred one of this part; and of those, the number of credits and the average amount of such credits allowed to taxpayers whose number of qualifying children falls within the categories set forth in such section thirty-two of the internal revenue code.

       19. (d-1) Enhanced earned income tax credit. (1) A taxpayer described in paragraph two of this subsection shall be allowed a credit equal to the greater of:

           1. (A) twenty percent of the amount of the earned income tax credit that would have been allowed to the taxpayer under section 32 of the internal revenue code, absent the application of section 32(b)(2)(B) of such code, if the child or children described in subparagraph (C) of paragraph two of this subsection satisfied the requirements for a qualifying child set forth in section 32(c)(3) of such code, provided however, that the credit shall be calculated as if the taxpayer had only one child; or
           2. (B) the product of two and one-half and the amount of the earned income tax credit that would have been allowed to the taxpayer under section 32 of the internal revenue code, if the taxpayer satisfied the eligibility requirements set forth in section 32(c)(1)(A)(ii) of such code.

           3. (2) To be allowed a credit under this subsection, a taxpayer must satisfy all of the following qualifications.

              1. (A) The taxpayer must be a resident taxpayer.
              2. (B) The taxpayer must have attained the age of eighteen.
              3. (C) The taxpayer must be the parent of a minor child or children with whom the taxpayer does not reside.
              4. (D) The taxpayer must have an order requiring him or her to make child support payments, which are payable through a support collection unit established pursuant to section one hundred eleven-h of the social services law, which order must have been in effect for at least one-half of the taxable year.
              5. (E) The taxpayer must have paid an amount in child support in the taxable year at least equal to the amount of current child support due during the taxable year for every order requiring him or her to make child support payments.
           4. (3) If the amount of the credit allowed under this subsection shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section six hundred eighty-six of this article, provided, however, that no interest shall be paid thereon.
           5. (4) No claim for credit under this subsection shall be allowed unless the department has verified, from information provided by the office of temporary and disability assistance, that a taxpayer has satisfied the qualifications set forth in subparagraphs (C), (D) and (E) of paragraph two of this subsection. The office of temporary and disability assistance shall provide to the department by January fifteenth of each year information applicable for the immediately preceding tax year necessary for the department to make such verification. Such information shall be provided in the manner and form agreed upon by the department and such office. If a taxpayer's claim for a credit under this subsection is disallowed because the taxpayer has not satisfied the qualifications set forth in subparagraphs (C), (D) and (E) of paragraph two of this subsection, the taxpayer may request a review of those qualifications by the support collection unit established pursuant to section one hundred eleven-h of the social services law through which the child support payments were payable. The support collection unit shall transmit the result of that review to the office of temporary and disability assistance on a form developed by such office. Such office shall then transmit such result to the department in a manner agreed upon by the department and such office.
           6. (5) A taxpayer shall not be allowed multiple credits under this subsection for a taxable year even if such taxpayer has more than one child or has more than one order requiring him or her to make child support payments.
           7. (6) If a credit is allowed under this subsection and the taxpayer is also allowed a credit under subsection (d) of this section, the taxpayer shall only be allowed to claim one credit.
           8. (7) In the report prepared pursuant to paragraph seven of subsection (d) of this section, the commissioner shall include statistical information concerning the credit allowed pursuant to this subsection. Such information shall be limited to the number of credits and the average amount of such credits allowed; and of those, the number of credits and the average amounts of such credits allowed to taxpayers in each county.
           9. (8) In a report prepared by the commissioner and submitted to the office of temporary and disability assistance, the department shall include information concerning the credit allowed pursuant to this subsection indicating whether or not taxpayers identified by the office of temporary and disability assistance pursuant to paragraph four of this subsection filed an income tax return, filed for a credit, received a credit, and the amount of any such credit. Any individual taxpayer information furnished by the department pursuant to this section shall be deemed confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party and the office of temporary and disability assistance is prohibited from using the individual taxpayer information except for the purpose of analyzing the impact of the credit and its effect on child support payments.

           10. (e) Real property tax circuit breaker credit. (1) For purposes of this subsection:

               1. (A) "Qualified taxpayer" means a resident individual of the state who has occupied the same residence for six months or more of the taxable year, and is required or chooses to file a return under this article.
               2. (B) "Household" or "members of the household" means a qualified taxpayer and all other persons, not necessarily related, who have the same residence and share its furnishings, facilities and accommodations. Such terms shall not include a tenant, subtenant, roomer or boarder who is not related to the qualified taxpayer in any degree specified in subparagraphs (A) through (G) of paragraph two of subsection (d) of section one hundred fifty-two of the internal revenue code. Provided, however, no person may be a member of more than one household at one time.
               3. (c) "Household gross income" means the aggregate adjusted gross income of all members of the household for the taxable year as reported for federal income tax purposes, or which would be reported as adjusted gross income if a federal income tax return were required to be filed, with the modifications in subsection (b) of section six hundred twelve but without the modifications in subsection (c) of such section, plus any portion of the gain from the sale or exchange of property otherwise excluded from such amount; earned income from sources without the United States excludable from federal gross income by section nine hundred eleven of the internal revenue code; support money not included in adjusted gross income; nontaxable strike benefits; supplemental security income payments; the gross amount of any pension or annuity benefits to the extent not included in such adjusted gross income (including, but not limited to, railroad retirement benefits and all payments received under the federal social security act and veterans' disability pensions); nontaxable interest received from the state of New York, its agencies, instrumentalities, public corporations, or political subdivisions (including a public corporation created pursuant to agreement or compact with another state or Canada); workers' compensation; the gross amount of "loss-of-time" insurance; and the amount of cash public assistance and relief, other than medical assistance for the needy, paid to or for the benefit of the qualified taxpayer or members of his household. Household gross income shall not include surplus foods or other relief in kind or payments made to individuals because of their status as victims of Nazi persecution as defined in P.L. 103-286. Provided, further, household gross income shall only include all such income received by all members of the household while members of such household.
               4. (D) "Residence" means a dwelling in this state, whether owned or rented, and so much of the land abutting it, not exceeding one acre, as is reasonably necessary for use of the dwelling as a home, and may consist of a part of a multi-dwelling or multi-purpose building including a cooperative or condominium, and rental units within a single dwelling. Residence includes a trailer or mobile home, used exclusively for residential purposes and defined as real property pursuant to paragraph (g) of subdivision twelve of section one hundred two of the real property tax law.
               5. (E) "Qualifying real property taxes" means all real property taxes, special ad valorem levies and special assessments, exclusive of penalties and interest, levied on the residence of a qualified taxpayer and paid during the taxable year less the credit claimed under subsection (n-1) of this section. In addition, for taxable years beginning after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-four, a qualified taxpayer may elect to include any additional amount that would have been levied in the absence of an exemption from real property taxation pursuant to section four hundred sixty-seven of the real property tax law. If tenant-stockholders in a cooperative housing corporation have met the requirements of section two hundred sixteen of the internal revenue code by which they are allowed a deduction for real estate taxes, the amount of taxes so allowable, or which would be allowable if the taxpayer had filed returns on a cash basis, shall be qualifying real property taxes. If a residence is owned by two or more individuals as joint tenants or tenants in common, and one or more than one individual is not a member of the household, qualifying real property taxes is that part of such taxes on the residence which reflects the ownership percentage of the qualified taxpayer and members of his household. If a residence is an integral part of a larger unit, qualifying real property taxes shall be limited to that amount of such taxes paid as may be reasonably apportioned to such residence. If a household owns and occupies two or more residences during different periods in the same taxable year, qualifying real property taxes shall be the sum of the prorated qualifying real property taxes attributable to the household during the periods such household occupies each of such residences. If the household owns and occupies a residence for part of the taxable year and rents a residence for part of the same taxable year, it may include both the proration of qualifying real property taxes on the residence owned and the real property tax equivalent with respect to the months the residence is rented. Provided, however, for purposes of the credit allowed under this subsection, qualifying real property taxes may be included by a qualified taxpayer only to the extent that such taxpayer or the spouse of such taxpayer occupying such residence for six months or more of the taxable year owns or has owned the residence and paid such taxes.
               6. (F) "Real property tax equivalent" means twenty-five percent of the adjusted rent actually paid in the taxable year by a household solely for the right of occupancy of its New York residence for the taxable year. If (i) a residence is rented to two or more individuals as cotenants, or such individuals share in the payment of a single rent for the right of occupancy of such residence, and (ii) each of such individuals is a member of a different household, one or more of which individuals shares such residence, real property tax equivalent is that portion of twenty-five percent of the adjusted rent paid in the taxable year which reflects that portion of the rent attributable to the qualified taxpayer and the members of his household.
               7. (G) "Adjusted rent" means rental paid for the right of occupancy of a residence, excluding charges for heat, gas, electricity, furnishings and board. Where charges for heat, gas, electricity, furnishing or board are included in rental but where such charges and the amount thereof are not separately set forth in a written rental agreement, for purposes of determining adjusted rent the qualified taxpayer shall reduce rental paid as follows:
               8. (i) For heat, or heat and gas, deduct fifteen percent of rental paid.
               9. (ii) For heat, gas and electricity, deduct twenty percent of rental paid.
               10. (iii) For heat, gas, electricity and furnishings, deduct twenty-five percent of rental paid.
               11. (iv) For heat, gas, electricity, furnishings and board, deduct fifty percent of rental paid. If the tax commission determines that the adjusted rent shown on the return is excessive, the tax commission may reduce such rent, for purposes of the computation of the credit, to an amount substantially equivalent to rent for a comparable accommodation.
               12. (2) A qualified taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as provided in paragraph three hereof against the taxes imposed by this article reduced by the credits permitted by this article. If the credit exceeds the tax as so reduced for such year under this article the qualified taxpayer may receive, and the comptroller, subject to a certificate of the state tax commission, shall pay as an overpayment, without interest, any excess between such tax as so reduced and the amount of the credit. If a qualified taxpayer is not required to file a return pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one, a qualified taxpayer may nevertheless receive and the comptroller, subject to a certificate of the state tax commission, shall pay as an overpayment the full amount of the credit, without interest.
               13. (3) Determination of credit. (A) For qualified taxpayers who have attained the age of sixty-five years before the beginning of or during the taxable year the amount of the credit allowable under this subsection shall be fifty percent, or in the case of a qualified taxpayer who has elected to include an additional amount pursuant to subparagraph (E) of paragraph one of this subsection, twenty-five percent, of the excess of real property taxes or the excess of real property tax equivalent determined as follows: Excess real property taxes are the excess of real property tax equiv- alent or the excess of qualifying real property taxes over the fo- If household gross income for the llowing percentage of household taxable year is: gross income: ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- $3,000 or less 3 1/2 Over $3,000 but not over $5,000 4 Over $5,000 but not over $7,000 4 1/2 Over $7,000 but not over $9,000 5 Over $9,000 but not over $11,000 5 1/2 Over $11,000 but not over $14,000 6 Over $14,000 but not over $18,000 6 1/2 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the maximum credit determined under this subparagraph may not exceed the amount determined in accordance with the following table: If household gross income for the taxable year is: The maximum credit is: ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- $1,000 or less $375 Over $1,000 but not over $2,000 $358 Over $2,000 but not over $3,000 $341 Over $3,000 but not over $4,000 $324 Over $4,000 but not over $5,000 $307 Over $5,000 but not over $6,000 $290 Over $6,000 but not over $7,000 $273 Over $7,000 but not over $8,000 $256 Over $8,000 but not over $9,000 $239 Over $9,000 but not over $10,000 $222 Over $10,000 but not over $11,000 $205 Over $11,000 but not over $12,000 $188 Over $12,000 but not over $13,000 $171 Over $13,000 but not over $14,000 $154 Over $14,000 but not over $15,000 $137 Over $15,000 but not over $16,000 $120 Over $16,000 but not over $17,000 $103 Over $17,000 but not over $18,000 $ 86

28. (4) If a qualified taxpayer occupies a residence for a period of less than twelve months during the taxable year or occupies two or more residences during different periods in such taxable year, the credit allowed pursuant to this subsection shall be computed in such manner as the tax commission may, by regulation, prescribe in order to properly reflect the credit or portion thereof attributable to such residence or residences and such period or periods.
29. (5) The tax commission may prescribe that the credit under this subsection shall be determined in whole or in part by the use of tables prescribed by such commission. Such tables shall set forth the credit to the nearest dollar.

30. (6) Only one credit per household and per qualified taxpayer shall be allowed per taxable year under this subsection. When two or more members of a household are able to meet the qualifications for a qualified taxpayer, the credit shall be equally divided between or among such individuals unless such individuals file with the tax commission a written agreement among such individuals setting forth a different division. Where two or more members of a household are able to meet the qualifications of a qualified taxpayer and one of them is sixty-five years of age or more, the credit which may be taken shall be the credit applicable to individuals who have attained the age of sixty-five years.

    1.

Such terms shall not include a tenant, subtenant, roomer or boarder who is not related to the qualified taxpayer in any degree specified in subparagraphs (A) through (G) of paragraph two of subsection (d) of section one hundred fifty-two of the internal revenue code. Provided, however, no person may be a member of more than one household at one time.
    3. (C) "Household gross income" means the aggregate adjusted gross income of all members of the household for the taxable year as reported for federal income tax purposes, or which would be reported as adjusted gross income if a federal income tax return were required to be filed, with the modifications in subsection (b) of section six hundred twelve of this article but without the modifications in subsection (c) of such section, plus any portion of the gain from the sale or exchange of property otherwise excluded from such amount; earned income from sources without the United States excludable from federal gross income by section nine hundred eleven of the internal revenue code; support money not included in adjusted gross income; nontaxable strike benefits; supplemental security income payments; the gross amount of any pension or annuity benefits to the extent not included in such adjusted gross income (including, but not limited to, railroad retirement benefits and all payments received under the federal social security act and veterans' disability pensions); nontaxable interest received from the state of New York, its agencies, instrumentalities, public corporations, or political subdivisions (including a public corporation created pursuant to agreement or compact with another state or Canada); workers' compensation; the gross amount of "loss-of-time" insurance; and the amount of cash public assistance and relief, other than medical assistance for the needy, paid to or for the benefit of the qualified taxpayer or members of his or her household.

(F) "Real property tax equivalent" means fifteen and three-quarters percent of the adjusted rent actually paid in the taxable year by a household solely for the right of occupancy of its New York residence for the taxable year. If (i) a residence is rented to two or more individuals as cotenants, or such individuals share in the payment of a single rent for the right of occupancy of such residence, and (ii) each of such individuals is a member of a different household, one or more of which individuals shares such residence, real property tax equivalent is that portion of fifteen and three-quarters percent of the adjusted rent paid in the taxable year which reflects that portion of the rent attributable to the qualified taxpayer and the members of his or her household.
    7. (G) "Adjusted rent" means rental paid for the right of occupancy of a residence, excluding charges for heat, gas, electricity, furnishings and board. Where charges for heat, gas, electricity, furnishings or board are included in rental but where such charges and the amount thereof are not separately set forth in a written rental agreement, for purposes of determining adjusted rent the qualified taxpayer shall reduce rental paid as follows:
    8. (i) For heat, or heat and gas, deduct six percent of rental paid.
    9. (ii) For heat, gas and electricity, deduct eight percent of rental paid.
    10. (iii) For heat, gas, electricity and furnishings, deduct ten percent of rental paid.

    12. (2) A qualified taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as provided in paragraph three of this subsection against the taxes imposed by this article reduced by the credits permitted by this article. If the credit exceeds the tax as so reduced for such year under this article, the excess shall be treated as an overpayment, to be credited or refunded, without interest. If a qualified taxpayer is not required to file a return pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one of this article, a qualified taxpayer may nevertheless receive the full amount of the credit to be credited or repaid as an overpayment, without interest.

    14. (4) If a qualified taxpayer occupies a residence for a period of less than twelve months during the taxable year or occupies two or more residences during different periods in such taxable year, the credit allowed pursuant to this subsection shall be computed in such manner as the commissioner may, by regulation, prescribe in order to properly reflect the credit or portion thereof attributable to such residence or residences and such period or periods.
    15. (5) The commissioner may prescribe that the credit under this subsection shall be determined in whole or in part by the use of tables prescribed by such commissioner. Such tables shall set forth the credit to the nearest dollar.

    16. (6) Only one credit per household and per qualified taxpayer shall be allowed per taxable year under this subsection.

    36.

    39. (6)

        1. (A) With respect to property which is depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code but is not subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of such code, and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of its useful life, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. For purposes of this subparagraph, useful life of property shall be the same as the taxpayer uses for depreciation purposes when computing his federal income tax liability.
        2. (B) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph (D) of this paragraph applies, with respect to three-year property, as defined in subsection (e) of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code, which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of thirty-six months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six.
        3. (C) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph (D) of this paragraph applies, with respect to property subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code other than three-year property as defined in subsection (e) of such section one hundred sixty-eight, which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of sixty months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty.
        4. (D) With respect to any property to which section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code applies, which is a building or a structural component of a building and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the period over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code.

The amount of such credit shall be eight percent of the cost or other basis for federal income tax purposes of tangible personal property and other tangible property, including buildings and structural components of buildings, described in paragraph two of this subsection, which is located within an empire zone designated as such pursuant to article eighteen-B of such law, but only if the acquisition, construction, reconstruction or erection of such property occurred or was commenced on or after the date of such designation and prior to the expiration thereof. Provided, however, that in the case of an acquisition, construction, reconstruction or erection which was commenced during such period and continued or completed subsequently, the credit shall be eight percent of the portion of the cost or other basis for federal income tax purposes attributable to such period, which portion shall be ascertained by multiplying such cost or basis by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the expenditures paid or incurred during such period for such purposes and the denominator of which shall be the total of all expenditures paid or incurred for such acquisition, construction, reconstruction or erection.
           7. (2) A credit shall be allowed under this subsection with respect to tangible personal property and other tangible property, including buildings and structural components of buildings which: (A) are depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code, (B) have a useful life of four years or more, (C) are acquired by purchase as defined in section one hundred seventy-nine (d) of the internal revenue code, (D) have a situs in an empire zone designated as such pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law, and (E) are (i) principally used by the taxpayer in the production of goods by manufacturing, processing, assembling, refining, mining, extracting, farming, agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture or commercial fishing, (ii) industrial waste treatment facilities or air pollution control facilities used in the taxpayer's trade or business, (iii) research and development property, (iv) principally used in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's trade or business as a broker or dealer in connection with the purchase or sale (which shall include but not be limited to the issuance, entering into, assumption, offset, assignment, termination, or transfer) of stocks, bonds or other securities as defined in section four hundred seventy-five (c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, or of commodities as defined in section four hundred seventy-five (e) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (v) principally used in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's trade or business of providing investment advisory services for a regulated investment company as defined in section eight hundred fifty-one of the Internal Revenue Code, or lending, loan arrangement or loan origination services to customers in connection with the purchase or sale (which shall include but not be limited to the issuance, entering into, assumption, offset, assignment, termination, or transfer) of securities as defined in section four hundred seventy-five (c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of clauses (iv) and (v) of this subparagraph, property purchased by a taxpayer affiliated with a regulated broker, dealer or registered investment adviser is allowed a credit under this subsection if the property is used by its affiliated regulated broker, dealer or registered investment adviser in accordance with this subsection. For purposes of determining if the property is principally used in qualifying uses, the uses by the taxpayer described in clauses (iv) and (v) of this subparagraph may be aggregated. In addition, the uses by the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer, and registered investment adviser under either or both of those clauses may be aggregated. Provided, however, a taxpayer shall not be allowed the credit provided by clauses (iv) and (v) of this subparagraph unless (I) eighty percent or more of the employees performing the administrative and support functions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment are located in this state, or (II) the average number of employees that perform the administrative and support functions resulting from or related to the qualifying uses of such equipment and are located in this state during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal to or greater than ninety-five percent of the average number of employees that perform these functions and are located in this state during the thirty-six months immediately preceding the year for which the credit is claimed, or (III) the number of employees located in this state during the taxable year for which the credit is claimed is equal to or greater than ninety percent of the number of employees located in this state on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight or, if the taxpayer was not a calendar year taxpayer in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, the last day of its first taxable year ending after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight. If the taxpayer becomes subject to tax in this state after the taxable year beginning in nineteen hundred ninety-eight, then the taxpayer is not required to satisfy the employment test provided in the preceding sentence of this subparagraph for its first taxable year. For purposes of clause (III) of this subparagraph, the employment test will be based on the number of employees located in this state on the last day of the first taxable year the taxpayer is subject to tax in this state. If the uses of the property must be aggregated to determine whether the property is principally used in qualifying uses, then either each affiliate using the property must satisfy this employment test or this employment test must be satisfied through the aggregation of the employees of the taxpayer, its affiliated regulated broker, dealer, and registered investment adviser using the property. For purposes of this subsection, the term "goods" shall not include electricity. For purposes of this paragraph, manufacturing shall mean the process of working raw materials into wares suitable for use or which gives new shapes, new quality or new combination to matter which already has gone through some artificial process by the use of machinery, tools, appliances and other similar equipment.

For purposes of this paragraph, the terms "research and development property", "industrial waste treatment facilities", and "air pollution control facilities" shall have the meanings ascribed thereto by clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), respectively, of subparagraph (B) of paragraph two of subsection (a) of this section, and the provisions of subparagraph (C) of such paragraph two shall apply.
           8. (3) A taxpayer shall not be allowed a credit under this subsection with respect to any tangible personal property and other tangible property, including buildings and structural components of buildings, which it leases to any other person or corporation except where a taxpayer leases property to an affiliated regulated broker, dealer, or registered investment adviser that uses such property in accordance with clause (iv) or (v) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph two of this subsection. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any contract or agreement to lease or rent or for a license to use such property shall be considered a lease. Provided, however, in determining whether a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit under this subsection with respect to such property, any election made with respect to such property pursuant to the provisions of paragraph eight of subsection (f) of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code, as such paragraph was in effect for agreements entered into prior to January first, nineteen hundred eighty-four, shall be disregarded.
           9. (4) If the amount of credit allowed under this subsection for any taxable year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess may be carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years. In lieu of carrying over any such excess, a taxpayer who qualifies as an owner of a new business for purposes of paragraph ten of subsection (a) of this section may, at his option, receive fifty percent of such excess as a refund. Any refund paid pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be a refund of an overpayment of tax as provided in section six hundred eighty-six of this article, provided, however, that no interest shall be paid thereon.
           10. (4-a) Any carry over of a credit from prior taxable years will not be allowed if an empire zone retention certificate is not issued pursuant to subdivision (w) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law to the empire zone enterprise which is the basis of the credit.
           11. (5) At the option of the taxpayer, air or water pollution control facilities which qualify for elective modifications under subsection (h) of section six hundred twelve, or research and development facilities which qualify for elective modification under paragraphs three and four of subsection (g) of section six hundred twelve, or property which qualifies for the credit provided under subsection (a) or (h) of this section may be treated as property principally used by the taxpayer in the production of goods by manufacturing, processing, assembling, mining, refining, extracting, farming, agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture, or commercial fishing, provided the property otherwise qualifies under paragraph two of this subsection, in which event a deduction shall not be allowed under such subsection (h) or such paragraphs three and four of subsection (g) and a credit shall not be allowed under such subsection (a) or (h).

           12. (6)

               1. (A) With respect to property which is depreciable pursuant to section one hundred sixty-seven of the internal revenue code but is not subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of such code and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this section which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. If the property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of its useful life, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subsection. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the months of useful life. For purposes of this subsection, useful life of property shall be the same as the taxpayer uses for depreciation purposes when computing his federal income tax liability.
               2. (B) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph (D) of this paragraph applies, with respect to three-year property, as defined in subsection (e) of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code, which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of thirty-six months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to thirty-six.
               3. (C) Except with respect to that property to which subparagraph (D) of this paragraph applies, with respect to property subject to the provisions of section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code other than three-year property as defined in subsection (e) of such section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of sixty months, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to sixty.
               4. (D) With respect to any property to which section one hundred sixty-eight of the internal revenue code applies, which is a building or a structural component of a building and which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the taxable year in which the credit is to be taken, the amount of the credit shall be that portion of the credit provided for in this subsection which represents the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code. If property on which credit has been taken is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use prior to the end of the period over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code, the difference between the credit taken and the credit allowed for actual use must be added back in the year of disposition. Provided, however, if such property is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use after it has been in qualified use for more than twelve consecutive years, it shall not be necessary to add back the credit as provided in this subparagraph. The amount of credit allowed for actual use shall be determined by multiplying the original credit by the ratio which the months of qualified use bear to the total number of months over which the taxpayer chooses to deduct the property under the internal revenue code.
               5. (E) For purposes of this paragraph, disposal or cessation of qualified use shall not be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of the termination or expiration of an empire zone's designation as such. (F)(i) For purposes of this paragraph, the decertification of a business enterprise with respect to an empire zone shall constitute a disposal or cessation of qualified use of the property on which the credit was taken which is located in the zone to which the decertification applies, on the effective date of such decertification.
        6. (ii) Where a business enterprise has been decertified based on a finding pursuant to clause one, two, or five of subdivision (a) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law, the amount required to be added back by reason of this paragraph shall be augmented by an amount equal to the product of the amount of credit, with respect to property which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use, which was deducted from the taxpayer's tax otherwise due under this article for all prior taxable years (subject to the limit set forth in this subparagraph) and the underpayment rate of interest (without regard to compounding) set by the commissioner of taxation and finance pursuant to subdivision (j) of section six hundred ninety-seven of this chapter, in effect on the last day of the taxable year. The limit shall be (I) the amount of credit, with respect to the property which is disposed of or ceases to be in qualified use, which was deducted from the taxpayer's tax otherwise due under this article for all prior taxable years, reduced (but not below zero) by (II) the credit allowed for actual use. For purposes of this subparagraph, the attribution to specific property of credit amount deducted from tax shall be established in accordance with the date of placement in service of such property in the empire zone.
        7. (iii) In no event shall the amount of the credit allowed pursuant to this subsection be rendered, solely by reason of clause (i) of this subparagraph, less than the amount of the credit to which the taxpayer would otherwise be entitled under subsection (a) of this section.
        8. (iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, in the case of a business enterprise which has been decertified, any amount of credit allowed with respect to the property of such business enterprise located in the zone to which the decertification applies which is carried over pursuant to paragraph four of this subsection shall not be carried over beyond the seventh taxable year next following the taxable year with respect to which the credit provided for in this subsection was allowed.
        9. (G) For purposes of this paragraph, where a credit is allowed with respect to an air pollution control facility on the basis of a certificate of compliance issued pursuant to the environmental conservation law and the certificate is revoked pursuant to subdivision three of section 19-0309 of the environmental conservation law, such revocation shall constitute a disposal or cessation of qualified use, except with respect to property contained in or comprising such facility which is described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph two of this subsection other than as part of or comprising an air pollution control facility. Also for purposes of this paragraph, the use of an air pollution control facility or an industrial waste treatment facility for the primary purpose of salvaging materials which are usable in the manufacturing process or are marketable shall constitute a cessation of qualified use, except with respect to property contained in or comprising such facility which is described in clause (i) or (iii) of subparagraph (E) of paragraph two of this subsection.
        10. (H) Except as provided in this subparagraph, this paragraph shall not apply to a credit allowed by this subsection to a taxpayer that is a partner in a partnership in the case of manufacturing property; provided, at the time such property was placed in service by such partnership in an empire zone the basis for federal income tax purposes of such property (or a project that includes such property) equaled or exceeded three hundred million dollars and such partner owned his or her partnership interest for at least three years from the date such property was placed in service. If such property ceases to be in qualified use after it is placed in service, this paragraph shall apply to such partner in the year such property ceases to be in qualifying use.
    40. (7) Notwithstanding the expiration of the empire zones program under article eighteen-B of the general municipal law, a taxpayer that is certified as an empire zone business pursuant to such article eighteen-B on the day immediately preceding the day the empire zones program expired shall continue to be deemed certified under such article eighteen-B for purposes of this subdivision until April first, two thousand fourteen. In addition, the areas designated as empire zones in which the taxpayer is certified as an empire zone business on the day immediately preceding the day the empire zones program expired shall continue to be deemed empire zones for purposes of this subdivision until April first, two thousand fourteen.
    41. (j-1) Empire zone employment incentive credit. (1) Where a taxpayer is allowed a credit under subsection (j) of this section, the taxpayer shall be allowed a credit for each of the three years next succeeding the taxable year for which the credit under such subsection (j) is allowed, with respect to such property, whether or not deductible in such taxable year or in subsequent taxable years pursuant to paragraph four of subsection (j) of this section, of thirty percent of the credit allowable under such subsection (j); provided, however, that the credit allowable under this subsection for any taxable year shall only be allowed if the average number of employees employed by the taxpayer in the empire zone, designated pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law, in which such property is located during such taxable year is at least one hundred one percent of the average number of employees employed by the taxpayer in such empire zone or, where applicable, in the geographic area subsequently constituting such zone, during the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year for which the credit under such subsection (j) is allowed and provided, further, that in the case of a new business, the credit allowable under this subsection for any taxable year shall be allowed if the average number of employees employed in such empire zone in such taxable year is at least one hundred one percent of the average number of such employees during the taxable year in which the credit under such subsection (j) is allowed.
    42. (2) The average number of employees employed in an empire zone, or, where applicable, in the geographic area subsequently constituting such zone, in a taxable year shall be computed by ascertaining the number of such employees within such zone, or, where applicable, in the geographic area subsequently constituting such zone, employed by the taxpayer on the thirty-first day of March, the thirtieth day of June, the thirtieth day of September and the thirty-first day of December in the taxable year, by adding together the number of employees ascertained in each of such dates and dividing the sum so obtained by the number of such abovementioned dates occurring within the taxable year.
    43. (3) If the amount of credit allowed under this subsection for any taxable year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess may be carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years. In lieu of carrying over any such excess, a taxpayer who qualified as an owner of a new business for purposes of paragraph ten of subsection (a) of this section may, at his option, receive fifty percent of such excess as a refund. Any refund paid pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be a refund of an overpayment of tax as provided in section six hundred eighty-six of this article, provided, however, that no interest shall be paid thereon.
    44. (3-a) Any carry over of a credit from prior taxable years will not be allowed to an empire zone enterprise which is the basis of the credit, if an empire zone retention certificate is not issued to such entity pursuant to subdivision (w) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law.
    45. (4) Notwithstanding the expiration of the empire zones program under article eighteen-B of the general municipal law, a taxpayer that is certified as an empire zone business pursuant to such article eighteen-B on the day immediately preceding the day the empire zones program expired shall continue to be deemed in the empire zone in which the taxpayer was certified as an empire zone business on the day immediately preceding the day the empire zones program expired for each of the three years next succeeding the taxable year for which the credit under subdivision (j) is allowed.
    46. (k) Empire zone wage tax credit. (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as hereinafter provided, against the tax imposed by this article, where the taxpayer has been certified pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law. The amount of such credit shall be as prescribed in paragraph four of this subsection.
    47. (2) For the purposes of this subsection, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (A) "Empire zone wages" means wages paid by the taxpayer for full-time employment during the taxable year, in an area designated or previously designated as an empire zone or zone equivalent area pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law, where such employment is in a job created in the area (i) during the period of its designation as an empire zone, (ii) within four years of the expiration of such designation, or (iii) during the ten year period immediately following the date of designation as a zone equivalent area, provided, however, that if the taxpayer's certification under article eighteen-B of the general municipal law is revoked with respect to an empire zone or zone equivalent area, any wages paid by the taxpayer, on or after the effective date of such decertification, for employment in such zone shall not constitute empire zone wages.
    48. (B) "Targeted employee" means a New York resident who receives empire zone wages and who is (i) an eligible individual under the provisions of the targeted jobs tax credit (section fifty-one of the internal revenue code), (ii) eligible for benefits under the provisions of the workforce investment act as a dislocated worker or low-income individual (P.L. 105-220, as amended), (iii) a recipient of public assistance benefits, (iv) an individual whose income is below the most recently established poverty rate promulgated by the United States department of commerce, or a member of a family whose family income is below the most recently established poverty rate promulgated by the appropriate federal agency or (v) an honorably discharged member of any branch of the armed forces of the United States. An individual who satisfies the criteria set forth in clause (i), (ii), (iv) or (v) at the time of initial employment in the job with respect to which the credit is claimed, or who satisfies the criterion set forth in clause (iii) at such time or at any time within the previous two years, shall be a targeted employee so long as such individual continues to receive empire zone wages.
    49. (C) "Average number of individuals employed full-time" shall be computed by ascertaining the number of such individuals employed by the taxpayer on the thirty-first day of March, the thirtieth day of June, the thirtieth day of September and the thirty-first day of December during each taxable year or other applicable period, by adding together the number of such individuals ascertained on each of such dates and dividing the sum so obtained by the number of such dates occurring within such taxable year or other applicable period.
    50. (3) The credit provided for herein shall be allowed only where the average number of individuals employed full-time by the taxpayer in (i) the state and (ii) the empire zone or area previously constituting such zone or zone equivalent area, during the taxable year exceeds the average number of such individuals employed full-time by the taxpayer in (i) the state and (ii) such zone or area subsequently or previously constituting such zone or such zone equivalent area, respectively, during the four years immediately preceding the first taxable year in which the credit is claimed with respect to such zone or area. Where the taxpayer provided full-time employment within (i) the state or (ii) such zone or area during only a portion of such four-year period, then for purposes of this paragraph the term "four years" shall be deemed to refer instead to such portion, if any. The credit shall be allowed only with respect to the first taxable year during which payments of empire zone wages are made and the conditions set forth in this paragraph are satisfied, and with respect to each of the four taxable years next following (but only, with respect to each of such years, if such conditions are satisfied), in accordance with paragraph four of this subsection. Subsequent certifications of the taxpayer pursuant to article eighteen-B of the general municipal law, at the same or a different location in the same empire zone or zone equivalent area or at a location in a different empire zone or zone equivalent area, shall not extend the five taxable year time limitation on the allowance of the credit set forth in the preceding sentence. Provided, further, however, that no credit shall be allowed with respect to any taxable year beginning more than four years following the taxable year in which designation as an empire zone expired or more than ten years after the designation as a zone equivalent area.
    51. (4) The amount of the credit shall equal the sum of

    52. (i) the product of three thousand dollars and the average number of individuals employed full-time by the taxpayer, computed pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph (C) of paragraph two of this subsection, who

        1. (I) received empire zone wages for more than half of the taxable year,
        2. (II) received with respect to more than half of the period of employment by the taxpayer during the taxable year, an hourly wage which was at least one hundred thirty-five percent of the minimum wage specified in section six hundred fifty-two of the labor law, and
        3. (III) are targeted employees; and
    53. (ii) the product of fifteen hundred dollars and the average number of individuals (excluding individuals described in subparagraph (i) of this paragraph) employed full-time by the taxpayer, computed pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph (C) of paragraph two of this subsection, who received empire zone wages for more than half of the taxable year. Provided, further, however, that the credit provided for herein with respect to the taxable year, and carryovers of such credit to the taxable year, deducted from the tax otherwise due, may not, in the aggregate, exceed fifty percent of the tax imposed under section six hundred one computed without regard to any credit provided for under this article.
    54. (iii) For purposes of calculating the amount of the credit, individuals employed within an empire zone or zone equivalent area within the immediately preceding sixty months by a related person, as such term is defined in subparagraph (c) of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four hundred sixty-five of the internal revenue code, shall not be included in the average number of individuals described in subparagraph (i) or subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph, unless such related person was never allowed a credit under this subsection with respect to such employees. For purposes of this subparagraph, a "related person" shall include an entity which would have qualified as a "related person" to the taxpayer if it had not been dissolved, liquidated, merged with another entity or otherwise ceased to exist or operate.
    55. (iv) If a taxpayer is certified in an empire zone designated under subdivision (a) or (d) of section nine hundred fifty-eight of the general municipal law, the dollar amounts specified under subparagraph (i) or (ii) of this paragraph shall be increased by five hundred dollars for each qualifying individual under such subparagraph who received, during the taxable year, wages in excess of forty thousand dollars.
    56. (v) The requirement in this paragraph that an employee must receive empire zone wages for more than half the taxable year shall not apply in the first taxable year of a taxpayer satisfying the criteria set forth in this subparagraph. In such a case, the credit allowed under this subsection shall be computed by utilizing the number of individuals (excluding general executive officers) employed full time by the taxpayer on the last day of its first taxable year. A taxpayer shall satisfy the following criteria: (I) such taxpayer acquired real or tangible personal property during its first taxable year from an entity which is not a related person (as such term is defined in subdivision (g) of section fourteen of this chapter); (II) the first taxable year of such taxpayer shall be a short taxable year of not more than seven months in duration; and (III) the number of individuals employed full-time on the last day of such first taxable year shall be at least one hundred ninety and substantially all of such individuals must have been previously employed by the entity from whom such taxpayer purchased its assets.
    57. (5) If the amount of the credit and carryovers of such credit allowed under this subsection for any taxable year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess, as well as any part of the credit or carryovers of such credit, or both, which may not be deducted from the tax otherwise due by reason of the final sentence in paragraph four hereof, may be carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years. In lieu of carrying over any such excess, a taxpayer who qualifies as an owner of a new business for purposes of paragraph ten of subsection (a) of this section may, at his option, receive fifty percent of such excess as a refund. Any refund paid pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be a refund of an overpayment of tax as provided in section six hundred eighty-six of this article, provided, however, that no interest shall be paid thereon.
    58. (5-a) Any carry over of a credit from prior taxable years will not be allowed if an empire zone retention certificate is not issued pursuant to subdivision (w) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law to the empire zone enterprise which is the basis of the credit.

    59. (l) Empire zone capital tax credit. (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by this article. The amount of the credit shall be equal to twenty-five percent of the sum of the following investments and contributions made during the taxable year and certified by the commissioner of economic development: (A) for taxable years beginning before January first, two thousand five, qualified investments made in, or contributions in the form of donations made to, one or more empire zone capital corporations established pursuant to section nine hundred sixty-four of the general municipal law prior to January first, two thousand five, (B) qualified investments in certified zone businesses which during the twelve month period immediately preceding the month in which such investment is made employed full-time within the state an average number of individuals of two hundred fifty or fewer, computed pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph (C) of paragraph two of subsection (k) of this section, except for investments made by or on behalf of an owner of the business including, but not limited to, a stockholder, partner or sole proprietor, or any related person, as defined in subparagraph (C) of paragraph three of subsection (b) of section four hundred sixty-five of the internal revenue code, and (C) contributions of money to community development projects as defined in regulations promulgated by the commissioner of economic development. "Qualified investments" means the contribution of property to a corporation in exchange for original issue capital stock or other ownership interest, the contribution of property to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership, and similar contributions in the case of a business entity not in corporate or partnership form in exchange for an ownership interest in such entity. The total amount of credit allowable to a taxpayer under this provision for all years, taken in the aggregate, shall not exceed three hundred thousand dollars, and shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars with respect to the investments and contributions described in each of subparagraphs (A), (B) and (C) of this paragraph.

        1. (1-a) Any carry over of a credit from prior taxable years will not be allowed to an empire zone enterprise which is the basis of the credit, if an empire zone retention certificate is not issued to such entity pursuant to subdivision (w) of section nine hundred fifty-nine of the general municipal law.

        2. (2)

           1. (A) If the amount of the credit and carryovers of such credit allowed under this subsection for any taxable year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, or if any part of the credit or carryovers of such credit may not be deducted from the tax otherwise due by reason of the final sentence of this subparagraph, any amount of credit or carryovers of such credit thus not deductible in such taxable year may be carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from the tax for such year or years. In addition, the amount of such credit, and carryovers of such credit to the taxable year, deducted from the tax otherwise due may not, in the aggregate, exceed fifty percent of the tax imposed under section six hundred one computed without regard to any credit provided for by this section.
           2. (B) In the case of a husband or wife who is required to file a separate return, the limitation provided for in paragraph one of this subsection shall be fifty thousand dollars in lieu of one hundred thousand dollars and one hundred fifty thousand dollars in lieu of three hundred thousand dollars, unless the spouse of the taxpayer has no credit allowable under this subsection for the taxable year of such spouse which ends within or with the taxpayer's taxable year.
           3. (C) In the case of an estate or trust, the limitation provided for in paragraph one of this subsection shall be reduced to an amount which bears the same ratio to one hundred thousand dollars and an amount which bears the same ratio to three hundred thousand dollars as the portion of the income of the estate or trust which is not allocated to beneficiaries bears to the total income of the estate or trust.
        3. (3) Where the stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest arising from a qualified investment as described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph one of this subsection is disposed of, the taxpayer's New York taxable income shall be computed, pursuant to regulations promulgated by the commissioner, so as to properly reflect the reduced cost thereof arising from the application of the credit provided for herein.

        4. (4)

           4. (D) The applicable percentage shall be:
           5. (i) one hundred percent, if the disposition or recovery occurs within the taxable year with respect to which the credit is allowed or within twelve months of the end of such taxable year,

The term "allowable school district property taxes" means the school district property taxes paid during the taxable year on qualified agricultural property, subject to the acreage limitation provided in paragraph five of this subsection and the income limitation provided in paragraph six of this subsection. Such credit shall be allowed against the taxes imposed by this article for the taxable year reduced by the credits permitted by this article. If the credit exceeds the tax as so reduced, the taxpayer may receive, and the comptroller, subject to a certificate of the commissioner, shall pay as an overpayment, without interest, the amount of such excess.
           5. (2) Eligible farmer. For purposes of this subsection, the term "eligible farmer" means a taxpayer whose federal gross income from farming for the taxable year is at least two-thirds of excess federal gross income. The term "eligible farmer" also includes an individual other than the taxpayer of record for qualified agricultural land who has paid the school district property taxes on such land pursuant to a contract for the future purchase of such land; provided that such individual has a federal gross income from farming for the taxable year which is at least two-thirds of excess federal gross income; and provided further that, in determining such income eligibility, a taxpayer may, for any taxable year, use the average of such federal gross income from farming for that taxable year and such income for the two consecutive taxable years immediately preceding such taxable year. Excess federal gross income means the amount of federal gross income from all sources for the taxable year reduced by the sum (not to exceed thirty thousand dollars) of those items included in federal gross income which consist of (i) earned income, (ii) pension payments, including social security payments, (iii) interest, and (iv) dividends. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "earned income" shall mean wages, salaries, tips and other employee compensation, and those items of gross income which are includible in the computation of net earnings from self-employment. For the purposes of this paragraph, payments from the state's farmland protection program, administered by the department of agriculture and markets, shall be included as federal gross income from farming for otherwise eligible farmers.
           6. (3) School district property taxes. For purposes of this subsection, the term "school district property taxes" means all property taxes, special ad valorem levies and special assessments, exclusive of penalties and interest, levied for school district purposes on the qualified agricultural property (A) owned by the taxpayer, (B) owned by the father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, brother or sister of the taxpayer and a written agreement expressing intent to eventually purchase the land has been entered into, or (C) owned by trust where the taxpayer is an immediate family member of the settlor, and where under the terms of the trust the title to the property shall pass to such taxpayer upon the death of the settlor.
           7. (4) Qualified agricultural property. For purposes of this subsection, the term "qualified agricultural property" means land located in this state which is used in agricultural production, and land improvements, structures and buildings (excluding buildings used for the taxpayer's residential purpose) located on such land which are used or occupied to carry out such production. Qualified agricultural property also includes land set aside or retired under a federal supply management or soil conservation program or land that at the time it becomes subject to a conservation easement, as defined under subsection (kk) of this section, met the requirements under this paragraph.
           8. (5) Acreage limitation. (A) Eligible taxes. In the event that the qualified agricultural property owned by the taxpayer includes land in excess of the base acreage as provided in this paragraph, the amount of school district property taxes eligible for credit under this subsection shall be that portion of the school district property taxes which bears the same ratio to the total school district property taxes paid during the taxable year, as the acreage allowable under this paragraph bears to the entire acreage of such land.
           9. (B) Allowable acreage. The allowable acreage is the sum of the base acreage set forth below and fifty percent of the incremental acreage. The incremental acreage is the excess of the entire acreage of qualified agricultural land owned by the taxpayer over the base acreage. Except as provided in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph: For taxable years beginning: The base acreage is: in 1997 100 after 1997 but before 2006 250 2006 and thereafter 350 For taxable years beginning after two thousand, total base acreage may be increased by any acreage enrolled or participating during the taxable year in a federal environmental conservation acreage reserve program pursuant to title three of the federal agriculture improvement and reform act of nineteen hundred ninety-six.
           10. (C) Base acreage of related persons. Where the taxpayer and one or more related persons each own qualified agricultural property on the first day of March of any year, the base acreage under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph shall be divided equally and allotted among the taxpayer and such related persons, and the taxpayer's base acreage for the taxable year which includes such March first shall be limited to its allotted share. Provided, however, if the taxpayer and all such related persons consent (at such time and in such manner as the commissioner may prescribe) to an unequal division, the taxpayer's base acreage for such taxable year shall be limited to its allotted share under such unequal division.

           11. (D) Related persons. (i) For purposes of subparagraph (C) of this paragraph, the term "related person" means:

               1. (I) a spouse;
               2. (II) a corporation subject to tax under article nine-A of this chapter, where more than fifty percent in value of the outstanding stock of the corporation is owned, directly or indirectly, by or for the taxpayer, or, where the taxpayer is a trust, where such stock is owned directly or indirectly by or for the grantor of such trust;
               3. (III) a partnership, estate or trust of which the taxpayer owns, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent of the capital, profits or beneficial interest.

               4. (ii) For purposes of subparagraph (C) of this paragraph, where the taxpayer is an estate or trust, the term "related person" shall also mean a corporation subject to tax under article nine-A of this chapter, a partnership, an estate or trust:

                  1. (I) where more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest in the taxpayer is owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such corporation, partnership, estate or trust or by or for the grantor of such trust; or
                  2. (II) if the same person owns more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest in the taxpayer and more than fifty percent in value of the outstanding stock of the corporation, or more than fifty percent of the capital or profits interest in the partnership, or more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest in the estate or trust.

               5. (iii) In determining whether a person is a related person within the meaning of this subparagraph:

                  1. (I) stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be considered as being owned proportionately by or for its shareholders, partners or beneficiaries;
                  2. (II) an individual shall be considered as owning the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his spouse;
                  3. (III) stock constructively owned by a person by reason of the application of item (I) of this clause shall, for the purpose of applying item (I) or (II) of this clause, be treated as actually owned by such person.
                  4. (6) Income limitation. (A) In the event that the modified New York adjusted gross income of the taxpayer exceeds one hundred thousand dollars for taxable years beginning before two thousand six or two hundred thousand dollars for taxable year two thousand six and thereafter, the allowable school district property taxes under paragraph one of this subsection shall be the eligible taxes under subparagraph (A) of paragraph five of this subsection reduced by the product of the amount of such eligible taxes and a percentage, such percentage to be determined by multiplying one hundred percent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the lesser of fifty thousand dollars for taxable years beginning before two thousand six or one hundred thousand dollars for taxable year two thousand six and thereafter or the excess of the taxpayer's modified New York adjusted gross income over one hundred thousand dollars for taxable years beginning before two thousand six or two hundred thousand dollars for taxable year two thousand six and thereafter and the denominator of which is fifty thousand dollars for taxable years beginning before two thousand six or one hundred thousand dollars for taxable year two thousand six and thereafter. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "eligible taxes", where the acreage limitation of paragraph five of this subsection does not apply, shall mean the total school district property taxes paid during the taxable year.
                  5. (B) The term "modified New York adjusted gross income" means the New York adjusted gross income for the taxable year reduced by the amount of principal paid on farm indebtedness during the taxable year. The term "farm indebtedness" means debt incurred or refinanced which is secured by farm property, where the proceeds of the debt are disbursed for expenditures incurred in the business of farming.
                  6. (7) Nonqualified use. (A) No credit in conversion year. In the event that qualified agricultural property is converted by the taxpayer to nonqualified use, credit under this subsection shall not be allowed with respect to such property for the taxable year of conversion (the conversion year).
                  7. (B) Credit recapture. If the conversion by the taxpayer of qualified agricultural property to nonqualified use occurs during the period of the two taxable years following the taxable year for which the credit under this subsection was first claimed with respect to such property, the credit allowed with respect to such property for the taxable years prior to the conversion year must be added back in the conversion year. Where the property converted includes land, and where the conversion is of only a portion of such land, the credit allowed with respect to the property converted shall be determined by multiplying the entire credit under this subsection for the taxable years prior to the conversion year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the acreage converted and the denominator of which is the entire acreage of such land owned by the taxpayer immediately prior to the conversion.
                  8. (C) Exception to recapture. Subparagraph (B) of this paragraph shall not apply to the conversion of property where the conversion is by reason of involuntary conversion, within the meaning of section one thousand thirty-three of the internal revenue code.
                  9. (D) Conversion to nonqualified use. For purposes of this paragraph, a sale or other disposition of qualified agricultural property alone shall not constitute a conversion to a nonqualified use.

(B) Inclusion in gross and adjusted gross income. (i) For any taxable year of the corporation for which the election under this paragraph is in effect, the shareholders of the corporation shall include:

1. (I) in gross income, for purposes of paragraph two of this subsection, their pro rata shares of the corporation's gross income, which income shall have the same character as in the hands of the corporation, and
2. (II) in adjusted gross income, for purposes of paragraph six of this subsection, their pro rata shares of the corporation's entire net income, and
3. (III) in principal payments on farm indebtedness, for purposes of paragraph six of this subsection, their pro rata shares of such payments made by the corporation.
4. (ii) Tiered New York C and New York S corporation. In the event that a shareholder of the corporation is a New York S corporation, the New York S corporation shall make the inclusions prescribed by clause (i) of this subparagraph (except that the inclusion prescribed by subclause (II) of such clause shall be in the entire net income of the New York S corporation), and the New York S corporation shall pass through such inclusions in pro rata shares to its shareholders for purposes of their calculation of credit under this subsection.

(B) "Affiliated income" shall mean for purposes of the basic STAR credit, the combined income of all of the owners of the parcel who resided primarily thereon as of December thirty-first of the taxable year, and of any owners' spouses residing primarily thereon as of such date, and for purposes of the enhanced STAR credit, the combined income of all of the owners of the parcel as of December thirty-first of the taxable year, and of any owners' spouses residing primarily thereon as of such date; provided that for both purposes the income to be so combined shall be the "adjusted gross income" for the taxable year as reported for federal income tax purposes, or that would be reported as adjusted gross income if a federal income tax return were required to be filed, reduced by distributions, to the extent included in federal adjusted gross income, received from an individual retirement account and an individual retirement annuity. For taxable years beginning on and after January first, two thousand nineteen, where an income-eligibility determination is wholly or partly based upon the income of one or more individuals who did not file a return pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one of this article for the applicable income tax year, then in order to be eligible for the credit authorized by this subsection, each such individual must file a statement with the department showing the source or sources of his or her income for that income tax year, and the amount or amounts thereof, that would have been reported on such a return if one had been filed. Such statement shall be filed at such time, and in such form and manner, as may be prescribed by the department, and shall be subject to the provisions of section six hundred ninety-seven of this article to the same extent that a return would be. The department shall make such forms and instructions available for the filing of such statements. The local assessor shall upon the request of a taxpayer assist such taxpayer in the filing of the statement with the department. Provided further, that if the qualified taxpayer was an owner of the property during the taxable year but did not own it on December thirty-first of the taxable year, then the determination as to whether the income of an individual should be included in "affiliated income" shall be based upon the ownership and/or residency status of that individual as of the first day of the month during which the qualified taxpayer ceased to be an owner of the property, rather than as of December thirty-first of the taxable year.
        6. (C) "Associated fiscal year" means the school district fiscal year that began on July first of the taxable year or, in the case of a city school district that is subject to article fifty-two of the education law, the city fiscal year that began on July first of the taxable year.
        7. (D) "Owner" means:
        8. (i) a person who owns a parcel in fee simple absolute or as a tenant in common, a joint tenant or a tenant by the entirety,
        9. (ii) an owner of a present interest in a parcel under a life estate,
        10. (iii) a vendee in possession under an installment contract of sale,
        11. (iv) a beneficial owner under a trust,
        12. (v) a tenant-stockholder of a cooperative apartment corporation who resides in a portion of real property owned by such cooperative apartment corporation, to the extent represented by his or her share or shares of stock in such corporation as determined by its or their proportional relationship to the total outstanding stock of the corporation, including that owned by the corporation,
        13. (vi) a resident of a farm dwelling that is owned either by a corporation of which the resident is a shareholder, a partnership of which the resident is a partner, or by a limited liability company of which the resident is an owner, or
        14. (vii) a resident of a dwelling, other than a farm dwelling, that is owned by a limited partnership of which the resident is a partner, provided that the limited partnership that holds title to the property does not engage in any commercial activity, that the limited partnership was lawfully created to hold title solely for estate planning and asset protection purposes, and that the partner or partners who primarily reside thereon personally pay all of the real property taxes and other costs associated with the property's ownership.
        15. (E) "Qualifying taxes" means the school district taxes that were levied upon the taxpayer's primary residence for the associated fiscal year that were actually paid by the taxpayer during the taxable year; or, in the case of a city school district that is subject to article fifty-two of the education law, the combined city and school district taxes that were levied upon the taxpayer's primary residence for the associated fiscal year that were actually paid by the taxpayer during the taxable year. Provided, however, that in the case of a cooperative apartment, "qualifying taxes" means the school district taxes that would have been levied upon the tenant-stockholder's primary residence if it were separately assessed, as determined by the commissioner based on the statement provided by the assessor pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (k) of subdivision two of section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law, or in the case of a cooperative apartment corporation that is described in subparagraph (iv) of paragraph (k) of subdivision two of section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law, one third of such amount. In no case shall the term "qualifying taxes" be construed to include penalties or interest.
        16. (F) "STAR exemption" means the school tax relief (STAR) exemption authorized by section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law.
        17. (G) "STAR tax savings" means the tax savings attributable to the STAR exemption within a portion of a school district, as determined by the commissioner pursuant to subdivision two of section thirteen hundred six-a of the real property tax law for purposes of the credit authorized by this subsection.
        18. (2) Allowance of credit. A qualified taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as provided in paragraph three or four of this subsection, whichever is applicable, against the taxes imposed by this article reduced by the credits permitted by this article, provided that the requirements set forth in the applicable subsection are satisfied. If the credit exceeds the tax as so reduced for such year under this article, the excess shall be treated as an overpayment, to be credited or refunded, without interest. If a qualified taxpayer is not required to file a return pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one of this article, a qualified taxpayer may nevertheless receive the full amount of the credit to be credited or repaid as an overpayment, without interest.
        19. (3) Determination of basic STAR credit. (A) Beginning with taxable years after two thousand fifteen, a basic STAR credit shall be available to a qualified taxpayer if the affiliated income of the parcel that serves as the taxpayer's primary residence is less than or equal to five hundred thousand dollars. The income limit established for the basic STAR exemption by paragraph (b-1) of subdivision three of section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law shall not be taken into account when determining eligibility for the basic STAR credit.
        20. (B) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (C) of this paragraph, such basic STAR credit shall be the lesser of:
        21. (i) the basic STAR tax savings for the school district portion in which the taxpayer's primary residence is located, or
        22. (ii) the taxpayer's qualifying taxes.
        23. (C) If the qualifying taxes paid by the taxpayer constituted only a portion of the total school district taxes that were levied upon the taxpayer's primary residence for the associated fiscal year or, in the case of a city school district that is subject to article fifty-two of the education law, if the qualifying taxes paid by the taxpayer constituted only a portion of the total combined city and school district taxes that were levied upon the taxpayer's primary residence for the associated fiscal year, the credit allowable to such taxpayer shall be equal to the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (B) of this paragraph multiplied by the percentage that such portion represents.
        24. (4) Determination of enhanced STAR credit. (A) Beginning with taxable years after two thousand fifteen, an enhanced STAR credit shall be available to a qualified taxpayer where both of the following conditions are satisfied:
        25. (i) All of the owners of the parcel that serves as the taxpayer's primary residence are at least sixty-five years of age as of December thirty-first of the taxable year or, in the case of property owned by a married couple or by siblings, at least one of the owners is at least sixty-five years of age as of that date. The terms "siblings" as used herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in section four hundred sixty-seven of the real property tax law. In the case of property owned by a married couple, one of whom is sixty-five years of age or over, the credit, once allowed, shall not be disallowed because of the death of the older spouse so long as the surviving spouse is at least sixty-two years of age as of December thirty-first of the taxable year.
        26. (ii) The affiliated income of the parcel that serves as the taxpayer's primary residence is less than or equal to the income standard for the taxable year established by the commissioner for the corresponding "income tax year" pursuant to clause (C) of subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) of subdivision four of section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law for purposes of the enhanced STAR exemption.
        27. (B) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (C) of this paragraph, such credit shall be the lesser of:
        28. (i) the enhanced STAR tax savings for the school district portion in which the taxpayer's primary residence is located, or
        29. (ii) the taxpayer's qualifying taxes.
        30. (C) If the qualifying taxes paid by the taxpayer constituted only a portion of the total school district taxes that were levied upon the taxpayer's primary residence for the associated fiscal year or, in the case of a city school district that is subject to article fifty-two of the education law, if the qualifying taxes paid by the taxpayer constituted only a portion of the total combined city and school district taxes that were levied upon the taxpayer's primary residence for the associated fiscal year, the credit allowable to such taxpayer shall be equal to the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (B) of this paragraph multiplied by the percentage that such portion represents.
        31. (5) Disqualification. A taxpayer shall not qualify for the credit authorized by this subsection if the parcel that serves as the taxpayer's primary residence received the STAR exemption on the assessment roll upon which school district taxes for the associated fiscal year were levied. Provided, however, that the taxpayer may remove this disqualification by switching to the credit in the manner provided by subdivision seventeen of section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law. Alternatively, the taxpayer may remove this disqualification by renouncing the exemption and making any required payments in the manner provided by section four hundred ninety-six of the real property tax law. Any such switch to the credit or renunciation shall be irrevocable.

        32. (6) Special cases.

            1. (A) A married couple may not receive a credit pursuant to this subsection on more than one residence during any given taxable year, unless living apart due to legal separation. Nor may a married couple receive a credit pursuant to this subsection on one residence while receiving an exemption pursuant to section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law on another residence, unless living apart due to legal separation.
            2. (B)
            3. (i) In the case of property consisting of a mobile home that is described in paragraph (1) of subdivision two of section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law, the amount of the credit allowable with respect to such mobile home shall be equal to the basic STAR tax savings for the school district portion, or the enhanced STAR tax savings for the school district portion, whichever is applicable, that would be applied to a separately assessed parcel in the school district portion with a taxable assessed value equal to twenty thousand dollars multiplied by the latest state equalization rate or special equalization rate for the assessing unit in which the mobile home is located. Provided, however, that if the commissioner is in possession of information, including but not limited to assessment records, that demonstrates to the commissioner's satisfaction that the taxpayer's mobile home is worth more than twenty thousand dollars, or if the taxpayer provides the commissioner with such information, the taxpayer's credit shall be increased accordingly, but in no case shall the credit exceed the basic STAR tax savings or enhanced STAR tax savings, whichever is applicable, for the school district portion.
            4. (ii) The commissioner may implement an electronic system for the reporting of information by owners and operators of manufactured home parks, as defined by section two hundred thirty-three of the real property law. Upon the implementation of such a system, each such owner and operator shall file electronic statements with the commissioner according to a schedule to be determined by the commissioner. Such statement shall require reporting of names of all persons owning an interest in the park, the services provided by the park owner to the tenants, the name of the agent designated pursuant to subdivision l of section two hundred thirty-three of the real property law, the names and addresses of all tenants of the park, whether the tenant leases or owns the home, the rent set for each lot in the park, and such additional information as the commissioner may deem necessary for the proper administration of the STAR exemption established pursuant to section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law and the STAR credit and any other property tax-based credit established pursuant to this section. In the case of the first registration statement filed in a calendar year, such statement shall also include a copy of all current manufactured home park rules and regulations. In the case that the manufactured home park rules and regulations are modified after the filing of the first registration statement in a calendar year, the next subsequent registration statement shall also include a copy of such rules and regulations. The commissioner shall provide the commissioner of housing and community renewal with the information contained in each report no later than thirty days after the receipt thereof.
            5. (C) In the case of a primary residence that is located in two or more school districts, the applicable basic or enhanced STAR tax savings for the school district portion shall be determined as follows:
            6. (i) determine the sum of the total school district taxes that were levied upon the taxpayer's primary residence for the associated fiscal year by each of the school districts in which the residence is located;
            7. (ii) for each such school district, divide the total school district taxes that were levied upon the taxpayer's primary residence by that school district for the associated fiscal year by the sum determined in clause (i) of this subparagraph. Express the result as a percentage with two decimal places;
            8. (iii) for each such school district, multiply the percentage determined in clause (ii) of this subparagraph by the basic or enhanced STAR tax savings for the school district portion, whichever is applicable; and
            9. (iv) add the products determined in clause (iii) of this subparagraph.
        33. (7) Disclosure of incomes and other information. (A) Where the commissioner has denied a taxpayer's claim for the credit authorized by this subsection in whole or in part on the grounds that the affiliated income of the parcel in question exceeds the applicable limit, the commissioner shall have the authority to reveal to that taxpayer the names and incomes of the other taxpayers whose incomes were included in the computation of such affiliated income.
        34. (B) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the names and addresses of individuals who have applied for or are receiving the credit authorized by this subsection may be disclosed to assessors, county directors of real property tax services, and municipal tax collecting officers. In addition, where an agreement is in place between the commissioner and the head of the tax department of another state, such information may be disclosed to such official or his or her designees. Such information shall be considered confidential and shall not be subject to further disclosure pursuant to the freedom of information law or otherwise.
        35. (8) Proof of claim. The commissioner may require a qualified taxpayer to furnish the following information in support of his or her claim for credit under this subsection: affiliated income, the total school district taxes levied on the property for the associated fiscal year or, in the case of a city school district that is subject to article fifty-two of the education law, the total combined city and school district taxes levied on the property for the associated fiscal year, the qualifying taxes paid by the taxpayer, the names and taxpayer identification numbers of all owners of the property and spouses who primarily reside on the property, the parcel identification number and all other information that may be required by the commissioner to determine the credit.
        36. (9) Returns. Whether or not the taxpayer is required to file a return pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one of this article, the process for requesting advance payment of such credit shall be as provided by paragraph ten of this subsection.
        37. (10) Advance payments. (A) The commissioner shall establish a mechanism by which a qualified taxpayer may apply for an advance payment of the credit authorized by this section, provided that:
        38. (i) If the taxpayer acquired a new primary residence between January first and July first of the taxable year, inclusive, any such application must be submitted to the commissioner by the first day of July of the taxable year, or such later date as may be prescribed by the commissioner in order for the taxpayer's payment to be subject to the processing schedule provided by subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, and
        39. (ii) A qualified taxpayer who fails to apply for an advance payment of such credit by such date may apply for and receive such credit in the manner prescribed by the commissioner, provided that such application shall be made within three years from the time that a return for the taxable year would have had to be filed pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one of this article. If approved, such payment shall be issued as soon as is practicable after the submission of the application but shall not be subject to the processing schedule prescribed by subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, and
        40. (iii) A qualified taxpayer who has applied for an advance payment of such credit in a taxable year may continue to receive such advance payments in future taxable years without reapplying as long as he or she remains eligible therefor.
        41. (B) On or before the date specified below, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the commissioner shall determine the eligibility of taxpayers for this credit utilizing the information available to him or her as obtained from the applications submitted on or before July first of that year, or such later date as may have been prescribed by the commissioner for that purpose, and from such other sources as the commissioner deems reliable and appropriate. For those taxpayers whom the commissioner has determined eligible for this credit, the commissioner shall advance a payment in the amount specified in paragraph three, four or six of this subsection, whichever is applicable. Such payment shall be issued by the date specified below, or as soon thereafter as is practicable; provided that if such payment is issued after such date, it shall be subject to interest at the rate prescribed by subparagraph (A) of paragraph two of subsection (j) of section six hundred ninety-seven of this article. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to preclude the commissioner from issuing payments after such date to qualified taxpayers whose applications were made after July first of that year, or such later date as may have been prescribed by the commissioner for such purpose.

        42. (i) The applicable dates for this purpose are as follows:

            1. (I) If the school district tax roll is filed with the commissioner on or before July first, the determination of eligibility shall be made by July fifteenth, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, and the advance payment shall be issued by July thirtieth, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
            2. (II) If the school district tax roll is filed with the commissioner after July first and on or before September first, the determination of eligibility shall be made by September fifteenth, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, and the advance payment shall be issued by September thirtieth, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
            3. (III) If the school district tax roll is filed with the commissioner after September first, the determination of eligibility shall be made by the fifteenth day after such filing, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, and the advance payment shall be issued by the thirtieth day after such filing, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
        43. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph, in the case of taxpayers whose primary residence is a cooperative apartment or a mobile home that is subject to the provisions of subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph six of this subsection, the payment shall be issued by the sixtieth day following receipt of all of the data needed to properly calculate the credit, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
        44. (C) A taxpayer who has failed to receive an advance payment that he or she believes was due to him or her, or who has received an advance payment that he or she believes is less than the amount that was due to him or her, may request payment of the claimed deficiency in a manner prescribed by the commissioner.
        45. (D) An advance payment of credit provided pursuant to this subsection that exceeds the taxpayer's qualifying taxes for that taxable year shall be added back as tax on the income tax return for that taxable year.
        46. (E) If the commissioner determines after issuing an advance payment that it was issued in an excessive amount or to an ineligible or incorrect party, the commissioner shall be empowered to utilize any of the procedures for collection, levy and lien of personal income tax set forth in this article, any other relevant procedures referenced within the provisions of this article, and any other law as may be applicable, to recoup the improperly issued amount; provided that in the event such party was determined to be ineligible on the basis that his or her primary residence received the STAR exemption in the associated fiscal year, the improperly issued credit amount shall be deemed a clerical error and shall be paid upon notice and demand without the issuance of a notice of deficiency and shall be assessed, collected and paid in the same manner as taxes.
        47. (11) Administration. The provisions of this article, including the provisions of sections six hundred fifty-three, six hundred fifty-eight, and six hundred fifty-nine of this article and the provisions of part six of this article relating to procedure and administration, including the judicial review of the decisions of the commissioner, except so much of section six hundred eighty-seven of this article that permits a claim for credit or refund to be filed after the period provided for in paragraph nine of this subsection and except sections six hundred fifty-seven, six hundred eighty-eight and six hundred ninety-six of this article, shall apply to the provisions of this subsection in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if the language of those provisions had been incorporated in full into this subsection and had expressly referred to the credit allowed or returns filed under this subsection, except to the extent that any such provision is either inconsistent with a provision of this subsection or is not relevant to this subsection. As used in such sections and such part, the term "taxpayer" shall include a qualified taxpayer under this subsection and, notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (e) of section six hundred ninety-seven of this article, where a qualified taxpayer has protested the denial of a claim for credit under this subsection and the time to file a petition for redetermination of a deficiency or for refund has not expired, he or she shall, subject to such conditions as may be set by the commissioner, receive such information (A) that is contained in any return filed under this article by a member of his or her household for the taxable year for which the credit is claimed, and (B) that the commissioner finds is relevant and material to the issue of whether such claim was properly denied.
        48. (12) When the calculation of any other personal income tax credit is based in whole or in part upon the real property taxes paid by the taxpayer, the amount of real property taxes so paid shall be reduced by the credit authorized by this subsection, if applicable, in the course of performing such calculation. When the calculation of any other personal income tax credit is based in whole or in part upon an individual's state tax liability, the credit authorized by this subsection shall not be taken into account in the calculation of such state tax liability. When the calculation of a city tax surcharge is based in whole or in part upon the net state tax of an individual, the credit authorized by this subsection shall not be taken into account in the calculation of such net state tax.

        49. (13)

            1. (A) Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude the commissioner from making a preliminary advance payment of the credit based upon an estimate of the STAR tax savings applicable to a school district portion, where he or she finds that attempting to ascertain the actual STAR tax savings applicable to the school district portion would jeopardize the timely issuance of the payment. When making such an estimate, the commissioner shall consider the STAR tax savings applicable in the school district fiscal year preceding the associated fiscal year, the allowable levy growth factor applicable to the calculation of the tax levy limit for the associated fiscal year pursuant to paragraph a of subdivision two of section two thousand twenty-three-a of the education law, taxable assessed value where appropriate, and such other information that in his or her judgment will help make the estimate as accurate as possible.
            2. (B) Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude the commissioner from making a preliminary advance payment of the credit without attempting to ascertain the taxpayer's qualifying taxes, where he or she finds that attempting to ascertain the taxpayer's qualifying taxes would jeopardize the timely issuance of the payment.
            3. (C) If the commissioner determines that a taxpayer received a preliminary advance payment that is above or below the advance payment to which he or she was entitled under this subsection, the commissioner shall provide notice to such taxpayer that the next advance payment due to such taxpayer under this subsection shall be adjusted to reconcile such underpayment or overpayment; provided, however, the commissioner shall permit a taxpayer to request that such adjustment be made on an originally filed timely income tax return for the tax year in which such overpayment or underpayment occurred, provided such return is filed on or before the due date for such return, determined without regard to extensions.
            4. (D) A taxpayer who received a preliminary advance payment that constitutes an overpayment shall not be required to pay interest on the amount of the overpayment.
            5. (E) On or after April first, two thousand nineteen, a taxpayer who is found to have made a material misstatement on an application for the credit authorized by this section shall be disqualified from receiving such credit for six years. As used herein, the term "material misstatement" shall have the same meaning as set forth in paragraph (a) of subdivision thirteen of section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law.
            6. (fff) Farm workforce retention credit. (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as provided in section forty-two of this chapter, against the tax imposed by this article.
            7. (2) Application of credit. If the amount of credit allowed under this subsection for any taxable year exceeds the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess will be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provision of section six hundred eighty-six of this article, provided, however, that no interest will be paid thereon.
            8. (ggg) School tax reduction credit for residents of a city with a population over one million. (1) For taxable years beginning after two thousand fifteen, a school tax reduction credit shall be allowed to a resident individual of the state who is a resident of a city with a population over one million, as provided below. The credit shall be allowed against the taxes authorized by this article reduced by the credits permitted by this article. If the credit exceeds the tax as so reduced, the excess shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section six hundred eighty-six of this article, provided however, that no interest will be paid thereon. For purposes of this subsection, no credit shall be granted to an individual with respect to whom a deduction under subsection (c) of section one hundred fifty-one of the internal revenue code is allowable to another taxpayer for the taxable year.
            9. (2) The amount of the credit under this subsection shall be determined based upon the taxpayer's income as defined in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of subdivision four of section four hundred twenty-five of the real property tax law.

            10. (3) For taxable years beginning in two thousand sixteen, the credit shall be determined as provided in this paragraph, provided that for the purposes of this paragraph, any taxpayer under subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph with income of more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars shall not receive a credit.

                1. (A) Married individuals filing joint returns and surviving spouses. In the case of married individuals who make a single return jointly and of a surviving spouse, the credit shall be one hundred twenty-five dollars.

            11. (4) For taxable years beginning after two thousand sixteen, the credit shall equal the "fixed" amount provided by paragraph (4-a) of this subsection plus the "rate reduction" amount provided by paragraph (4-b) of this subsection.

            12. (4-a) The "fixed" amount of the credit shall be determined as provided in this paragraph, provided that any taxpayer with income of more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars shall not receive such amount.
