Once a credit is assigned to an eligible assignee, it cannot be reassigned. The assignor will reduce the credit amount available for assignment by the amount of the credit assigned.

After assignment of an eligible credit, the eligible assignee may use the credit against income tax liability, or apply it against CDTFA qualified sales and use taxes. Also, the restrictions and limitations that applied to the assignor (entity that originally generated the credit) may apply to the eligible assignee.

There is no requirement of payment or other consideration for assignment of the credit by an eligible assignee to an assignor.

The assignor and the eligible assignee shall maintain the information necessary to substantiate any credit assigned and to verify the assignment and subsequent use of the credit assigned. Lack of substantiation may result in the disallowance of the assignment. The assignor and the eligible assignee shall each be liable for the full amount of any tax, addition to tax, or penalty that results from any disallowance of the credit assigned under R&TC Section 23685, Section 23695, or Section 23698. The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) may collect such amount in full from either the assignor or the eligible assignee.

Any portion of the original credit assigned under R&TC Section 23663 or Section 23685, any portion of the new credit assigned under R&TC Section 23663 or Section 23695, or any portion of the program 3.0 or soundstage filming credit assigned under R&TC Section 23663 or Section 23698 may not be subsequently assigned under either statue.

D. Limitations

The credit cannot reduce the minimum franchise tax (corporations and S corporations), the annual tax (limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and LLCs taxed as partnerships), the alternative minimum tax (corporations, exempt organizations, individuals, and fiduciaries), the built-in gains tax (S corporations), or the excess net passive income tax (S corporations).

The original, new, program 3.0, and soundstage filming credits can reduce the tax below the TMT for corporations.

For individual taxpayers, the original and new credit cannot reduce regular tax below TMT. The program 3.0 and soundstage filming credit can reduce the tax below the TMT. For more information, get Schedule P (100, 100W, 540, 540NR, or 541).

S corporation. The original, new, and program 3.0 credit cannot reduce the S corporation 1.5% entity level tax (3.5% for financial S corporations). If a C corporation has unused credit carryovers when it elects S corporation status, the credit carryovers may not be passed through to the S corporation or the shareholders.

For the soundstage filming credit, S corporations may claim only 1/3 of the credit against the 1.5% entity-level tax (3.5% for financial S corporations). The remaining 2/3 must be disregarded and may not be used as carryover. S corporations may pass through 100% of the credit to their shareholders.

If a C corporation had unused credit carryovers when it elected S corporation status, the carryovers were reduced to 1/3 and transferred to the S corporation. The remaining 2/3 were disregarded. The allowable carryovers may be used to offset the 1.5% tax on net income in accordance with the respective carryover rules. These C corporation carryovers may not be passed through to shareholders. For more information, get Schedule C (100S), S Corporation Tax Credits.

Disregarded business entity. If a taxpayer owns an interest in a disregarded business entity [for example, a single member limited liability company (SMLLC), which for tax purposes is treated as a sole proprietorship if owned by an individual or a division if owned by a corporation], the credit amount received from the disregarded entity is limited to the difference between the taxpayer’s regular tax figured with the income of the disregarded entity, and the taxpayer’s regular tax figured without the income of the disregarded entity. If the credit is sold under R&TC Section 17053.85(c),Section 17053.95(c), or Section 17053.98(c), or assigned or sold under R&TC Section 23685(c), Section 23695(c), or Section 23698(c), this restriction does not apply.

E. Carryover

If the available credit exceeds the current year tax liability or is limited by TMT, the unused credit may be carried over for six years for the original credit, and nine years for the new, program 3.0 and soundstage filming credit, or until the credit is exhausted, whichever occurs first. Apply the credit carryover to the earliest taxable year. In no event can the credit be carried back and applied against a prior year’s tax.
