Illinois is as follows With No Sunset Clause:

Tax Credit Benefits

* 30% of the qualified Illinois Production Spending.
* 30% credit on Illinois salaries up to $100,000 per worker.
* Tax credit can be carried forward 5 years from when originally issued by IFO.
* The yearly sunset provision has been removed so the IL Film Services Tax Credit does not expire.
* Applicants will receive an additional 15% tax credit on salaries of individuals that live in an economically disadvantaged area.

Your comments regarding Louisiana’s program and being tied to fraud are sweeping and misrepresentative of what is going on down here…need to revise…along with comments regarding a few other states as well. Otherwise, a helpful link for those wanting to know more about film incentives/tax credits.
