What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under this bill, a taxpayer may claim an income and franchise tax credit in an amount equal to 20 percent of the amount of wages that the taxpayer paid in the taxable year to the taxpayer's employees who are members of the national guard or a reserve unit of the U.S. armed forces and who, in the taxable year, are deployed or called into active duty with the national guard or reserve unit. The maximum amount of the credit that a taxpayer may claim in a taxable year is $10,000. If the credit amount exceeds the amount of the taxpayer's tax liability, the taxpayer does not receive a refund, but, instead, may carry forward the amount of the unused credit to subsequent taxable years.
