Section 5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by adding
Section 229 as follows:
(35 ILCS 5/229 new)
Sec. 229. Credit for wages paid to persons 55 years of age
or older.
(a) For each taxable year beginning on or after January 1,
2020, each taxpayer is entitled to a credit against the tax
imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act
in the amount of $2,500 for each person who is (i) 55 years of
age or older during the taxable year and (ii) employed by the
taxpayer at a location in this State for not less than 185 days
during the taxable year. For partners, shareholders of
Subchapter S corporations, and owners of limited liability
companies, if the liability company is treated as a partnership
for purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
be allowed a credit under this Section to be determined in

the taxpayer's liability to less than zero. If the amount of
the credit exceeds the tax liability for the year, the excess
may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the
5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The tax
credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is
a tax liability. If there are credits for more than one year
that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit
shall be applied first.
(c) This Section is exempt from the provisions of Section
250.
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
