(b)  Exceptions.- A credit under subsection (a) of this section is not allowed to: 

(1) a resident other than a fiduciary, if the laws of the other state allow the resident a credit for State income tax paid to this State; 

(2) a resident fiduciary, if the fiduciary claims, and the other state allows, a credit for State income tax paid to this State; 

(3) a resident for less than the full taxable year for tax on income that is paid to another state during residency in that state; or 

(4) a nonresident. 

(c)  Amount of credit for resident.-  

(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, the credit allowed a resident under subsection (a) of this section is the lesser of:

(ii) an amount that does not reduce the State income tax to an amount less than would be payable if the income subjected to tax in the other state were disregarded. 

(2) If the credit allowed a resident under subsection (a) of this section is based on tax that an S corporation pays to another state, the credit allowable to a shareholder: 

(i) may not exceed that shareholder's pro rata share of the tax; and 

(ii) will be allowed for another state's income taxes or taxes based on income.
