For taxable years beginning from and after December 31, 2005, a credit is allowed against the taxes imposed by this title for a taxpayer whose employee is a member of the Arizona national guard if the employee is placed on active duty. The amount of the credit is one thousand dollars for each employee who is placed on active duty by the Arizona national guard.B. To qualify for the credit: 1. The employee must be a member of the Arizona national guard who is employed by the taxpayer in a full-time equivalent position when the employee is placed on active duty.2. Each member of the Arizona national guard who is employed must have served during the taxable year on active duty for training that exceeds the required annual training period, including any activation for federal or state contingencies or emergencies.C. If the allowable credit exceeds the taxes otherwise due under this title on the claimant's income, or if there are no taxes due under this title, the amount of the claim not used to offset taxes under this title may be carried forward for not more than five consecutive taxable years as a credit against subsequent years' income tax liability.D. The credit under this section may be claimed only once by the taxpayer in any taxable year with respect to each employee who is placed on active duty by the Arizona national guard, but may be claimed again for that employee in a subsequent taxable year if that employee remains on active duty or is placed again on active duty in a subsequent taxable year.E. Co-owners of a business, including corporate partners in a partnership, may each claim only the pro rata share of the credit allowed under this section based on the ownership interest. The total of the credits allowed all such owners may not exceed the amount that would have been allowed a sole owner.
