(2) FILING CLAIMS. Subject to the limitations provided in this
section and in s. 234.45, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, a claimant may claim as a credit against the fees imposed under s. 76.60, 76.63, 76.65, 76.66, or 76.67 the amount
allocated to the claimant by the authority under s. 234.45 for each
taxable year within the credit period.

of the allocation certificate issued to the qualified development.
(4) RECAPTURE. (a) As of the last day of any taxable year
during the compliance period, if the amount of the qualified basis
of a qualified development with respect to a claimant is less than

under section 42 (j) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(b) In the event that the recapture of any credit is required in
any taxable year, the taxpayer shall include the recaptured proportion of the credit on the return submitted for the taxable year
in which the recapture event is identified.
(5) CARRY-FORWARD. If the credit under sub. (2) is not entirely offset against the fees under s. 76.60, 76.63, 76.65, 76.66,
or 76.67 otherwise due, the unused balance may be carried forward and credited against those fees for the following 15 years to
the extent that it is not offset by those fees otherwise due in all the
years between the year in which the expense was made and the
year in which the carry-forward credit is claimed.
