Fiscal Note (Illinois Department of Revenue)

House Bill 342 creates the teacher's instructional materials credit. The credit is equal to the amount spent by a taxpayer, who is a teacher, during the tax year for instructional materials for use in the classroom. The credit cannot exceed $200 and cannot reduce the taxpayer's liability to zero. Excess credit amounts can be carried forward 5 tax years. The Department estimates that this bill could negatively impact revenues by $30 million.
