Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act. Provides that all the corporations, wherever incorporated or domiciled, that are members of a unitary business shall file a combined return as a combined group. Makes changes to the definition of "unitary business". Contains provisions concerning a water's edge election. Provides that, with respect to unitary business groups, "United States" means the 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, and United States' territories and possessions. Fiscal Note (Dept. of Revenue) The revenue impact of this bill is unknown. Several issues need to be addressed before determining if and how this bill might impact State revenues. As an example, in a provision relating to a water's-edge election, the bill provides that a taxpayer's "entire income" must be considered. The bill does not define "entire income" nor is this a relevant term in the Illinois Income Tax Act. Aside from this and similar type issues needing addressed, there are other challenges to determining a fiscal impact. For example, where there might be a revenue impact, there is no way to compute an estimate since the provision brings income into the apportionable base from companies that previously have not had to file with the Department. There is no way for the Department to know anything about those companies, their income, or their apportionment factors. In fact, the Department cannot definitively say whether the overall revenue impact of this bill, as written, is positive, negative, or neutral.

Amends the Nursing Home Care Act. Provides that a for-profit facility licensed under the Act shall disclose data regarding the lease or rental of the facility by a real estate partnership owning the facility to a business operating the facility in any cost report submitted by the facility to the State. Provides that the provisions only apply to a facility that is leased or rented by its owner to a related party of the owner.
