General Procedures and Instructions
Owners of low-income housing projects may take a nonrefundable credit against their individual income tax, corporate franchise tax or fiduciary tax in an amount
determined by the Utah Housing Corporation. Any owner of a low-income project that has received an allocation of the federal low-income housing tax credit and
any applicant for an allocation of the federal low-income housing credit may apply to the Utah Housing Corporation for this tax credit.
Credit amounts greater than the Utah tax liability in the tax year in which the credit is earned following allocation by the Utah Housing Corporation may be carried
back three years or may be carried forward to the following five taxable years. For detailed instructions regarding the carryback or carryforward of this credit, please
