AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing a historic wood

1 Section 1. Section 606 of the tax law is amended by adding a new
2 subsection (qqq) to read as follows:
3 (qqq) Historic wood window rehabilitation and energy retrofit tax
4 credit. (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit, to be computed as
5 hereinafter provided, against the tax imposed by this article. The
6 amount of the credit shall be twenty-five percent of the taxpayer's
7 qualified rehabilitation and energy retrofit expenditures paid or
8 incurred within the five years immediately preceding the year in which
9 such tax credit shall be applied with respect to any historic wood
10 windows located in this state. All such rehabilitation and energy retro-
11 fit shall include energy efficiency upgrades while maintaining the
12 historic integrity of all such windows. For purposes of this subsection,
13 the term "energy efficiency upgrades" shall mean repairs in kind to
14 deteriorated historic wood windows, window sash systems and operational
15 components, including but not limited to, reglazing, weatherstripping,
16 and the appropriate installation of interior or exterior storm windows
17 to protect historic sash. For the purposes of this subsection, the term
18 "historic wood windows" means a wood window that is fifty years or
19 older, as evaluated and approved by the state historic preservation
20 office.

22 window rehabilitation and energy retrofit tax credit each fiscal year

1 basis, determined by the date the application is received, until all
2 appropriated funds for the fiscal year are expended. An owner-occupied
3 residential property or owners of commercial properties shall not exceed
4 fifty thousand dollars in expenditures per fiscal year.
5 (3) If the amount of credit allowable under this subsection shall
6 exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year and the taxpayer's New York
7 adjusted gross income for such year does not exceed sixty thousand
8 dollars, the excess shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be
9 credited or refunded in accordance with the provisions of section six
10 hundred eighty-six of this article; provided, however, that no interest
11 shall be paid thereon. If the taxpayer's New York adjusted gross income
12 for such year exceeds sixty thousand dollars, the excess credit may be
13 carried over to the following year or years and may be deducted from the
14 taxpayer's tax for such year or years.
15 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
16 years commencing on and after such date.
