development by issuing an allocation certificate to the owner. The authority may
determine the time at which it will issue an allocation certificate. The authority shall
determine the amount of the credit. All credit allocations must be made according
to the allocation plan and each credit must be necessary for the financial feasibility
of the qualified development.

requirements of Title VIII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended by
the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, 24 U.S.C. sec. 3601 et seq.
(4) (a) During each calendar year of the period beginning on January 1, 2025,
and ending on December 31, 2029, the authority may allocate a credit, the full
amount of which may be claimed by a qualified taxpayer against the taxes imposed
by this article 22 for each tax year of the five-year credit period.

(5) If the amount of a credit allocated pursuant to this section exceeds the
taxes due on the qualified taxpayer's income for the taxable year, the excess credit
amount may be carried forward as a credit against the qualified taxpayer's income
tax liability for up to three tax years following the credit period and must be applied
first to the earliest years possible. Any amount of the credit that is not applied
against income tax liability within this three-year carry-forward period shall not be
refunded to the taxpayer.

tax return the following documents:
(a) A copy of the allocation certificate issued by the authority; and
(b) A copy of the owner's certification to the department regarding its
allocation of the credit among the qualified taxpayers having ownership interests in
