(f) A partnership, limited liability company, or tax-option corporation may not claim the credit under this subsection.

The partnership, limited liability company, or tax-option corporation shall calculate the amount of the credit which may be claimed by each partner, member, or shareholder and shall provide that information to the partner, member, or shareholder. For shareholders of a tax-option corporation, the credit may be allocated in proportion to the ownership interest of each shareholder. Credits computed by a partnership or limited liability company may be claimed in proportion to the ownership interests of the partners or members or allocated to partners or members as provided in a written agreement among the partners or members that is entered into no later than the last day of the taxable year of the partnership or limited liability company, for which the credit is claimed. For a partnership or limited liability company that places property in service after June 29, 2008, and before January 1, 2009, the credit attributable to such property may be allocated, at the election of the partnership or limited liability company, to partners or members for a taxable year of the partnership or limited liability company that ends after June 29, 2008, and before January 1, 2010. Any partner or member who claims the credit as provided under this paragraph shall attach a copy of the agreement, if applicable, to the tax return on which the credit is claimed. A person claiming the credit as provided under this paragraph is solely responsible for any tax liability arising from a dispute with the department of revenue related to claiming the credit.
71.28(6)(g)1.1. If a person who claims the credit under this subsection elects to claim the credit based on claiming amounts for expenditures as the expenditures are paid, rather than when the rehabilitation work is completed, the person shall file an election form with the department, in the manner prescribed by the department.
71.28(6)(g)2.
2. Notwithstanding
s. 71.77, the department may adjust or disallow the credit claimed under this subsection within 4 years after the date that the state historical society notifies the department that the expenditures for which the credit was claimed do not comply with the standards for certification promulgated under
s. 44.02 (24). If the department adjusts or disallows, in whole or in part, a credit transferred under
par. (h), only the person who originally transferred the credit to another person is liable to repay the adjusted or disallowed amount.
71.28(6)(h)
(h) Any person, including a nonprofit entity described in section
501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, may sell or otherwise transfer the credit under
par. (a) 2m. or
