(b) The Arkansas low-income housing tax credit available to a qualified project shall be calculated by multiplying an amount equal to the federal low-income housing tax credit for a qualified project for a federal tax period, by twenty percent (20%) and such amount shall be subtracted from the amount of state income or premium tax otherwise due from the taxpayer for the same tax period. (c) The Arkansas low-income housing tax credit shall be taken against the state income or premium taxes due from the taxpayer. The credit authorized by this subchapter shall not be refundable. Any amount of credit that exceeds the tax due for a taxable year may be carried forward to any of the five (5) subsequent taxable years or carried forward to any of the five (5) subsequent taxable years.

(f) The total amount of tax credit granted under this subchapter shall not exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) in any taxable year. (g) (1) A grant payment made under § 1602 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. No. 111-5, is excluded from gross income if the grant payment is made in lieu of a federal low-income housing tax credit.
