INC TAX-PARENT CARE

Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act. Authorizes a credit to each individual taxpayer for providing care for a parent who lived in the taxpayer's home for 180 days or more during the tax year equal to $1,000 for each parent. "Parent" means the birth or adoptive mother, father, stepmother, or stepfather of the taxpayer or of either of the taxpayers if the taxpayers file a joint return. Provides that the credit may not reduce the taxpayer's liability to less than zero and may not be carried back or carried forward. Exempts the credit from the Act's sunset provisions. Effective immediately.
