5733.56 Nonrefundable credit equal to cost incurred by company for providing telephone service program.

(A)(1) For tax year 2005, a taxpayer that provides any telephone service program to aid the communicatively impaired in accessing the telephone network under section 4905.79 of the Revised Code is allowed a nonrefundable credit against the tax imposed by section 5733.06 of the Revised Code. The amount of the credit is the cost incurred by the taxpayer for providing the telephone service program during its taxable year, excluding any costs incurred prior to July 1, 2004.

(2) A taxpayer shall claim the credit under division (A)(1) of this section in the order required by section 5733.98 of the Revised Code. If the credit exceeds the total taxes due under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code for the tax year, after allowance for any other credits preceding this credit in the order set forth in section 5733.98 of the Revised Code, the commissioner shall credit the excess against taxes due under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code for succeeding tax years until the full amount of the credit is granted.

(B) For each of tax years 2006, 2007, and 2008, a taxpayer that provides any telephone service program to aid the communicatively impaired in accessing the telephone network under section 4905.79 of the Revised Code is allowed a refundable credit against the tax imposed by section 5733.06 of the Revised Code. For each tax year, the amount of the credit is the cost incurred by the taxpayer during that tax year’s taxable year for providing the telephone service program. No cost incurred with respect to the credit that is allowable for a tax year shall be considered for purposes of computing the credit allowable for any other tax year.

(C) If the tax commissioner ascertains that any credit claimed pursuant to this section by a taxpayer was not correct, the commissioner shall ascertain the proper credit. No cost incurred after December 31, 2007, shall be considered for purposes of computing any credit allowed by this section.

(D) Nothing in this section authorizes a taxpayer to claim a credit under this section for any costs incurred in providing a telephone service program for which it is either claiming a credit under former section 5727.44 of the Revised Code or receiving reimbursement for its costs under any other provision of the Revised Code.
