(b)For partners of partnerships and shareholders of Subchapter S corporations, there is allowed a credit under this Section to be determined in accordance with Section 251 of this Act.

(c)The credit may not be carried back and may not reduce the taxpayer's liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability for the year, the excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The tax credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits for more than one year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first.
