Sec. 12. (a) If the amount of the credit determined under section 8 or 8.5 of this chapter for a taxpayer in a taxable year exceeds the taxpayer's state tax liability for that taxable year, the taxpayer may carry the excess credit over for a period not to exceed the taxpayer's following five (5) taxable years. The amount of the credit carryover from a taxable year shall be reduced to the extent that the carryover is used by the taxpayer to obtain a credit under this chapter for any subsequent taxable year. A taxpayer is not entitled to a carryback or a refund of any unused credit amount.

(2) Before a credit may be assigned, the taxpayer must notify the corporation of the assignment of the credit in the manner prescribed by the corporation.

(3) An assignment of a credit must be in writing, and both the taxpayer and assignee shall report the assignment on the taxpayer's and assignee's state tax returns for the year in which the assignment is made, in the manner prescribed by the department.

(4) Once a particular credit or credits are assigned, the assignee may not assign all or part of the credit or credits to another person.

(5) A taxpayer may not receive value in connection with an assignment under this section that exceeds the value of that part of the credit assigned.
