sand  ten  and  before  January  first, two thousand [fifteen] TWENTY, a
taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as hereinafter provided, against  the
tax  imposed  by this article, in an amount equal to one hundred percent
of the amount of credit allowed the taxpayer with respect to a certified

located within the state. Provided, however, the credit shall not exceed

  (2) (A) With respect to any particular residence of  a  taxpayer,  the
credit  allowed  under paragraph one of this subsection shall not exceed
fifty thousand dollars for taxable years beginning on or  after  January
first, two thousand ten and before January first, two thousand [fifteen]
TWENTY  and  twenty-five thousand dollars for taxable years beginning on
or after January first, two thousand [fifteen] TWENTY. In the case of  a
husband and wife, the amount of the credit shall be divided between them
equally  or  in  such other manner as they may both elect. If a taxpayer
incurs qualified rehabilitation expenditures in relation  to  more  than
one residence in the same year, the total amount of credit allowed under
paragraph  one  of  this  subsection for all such expenditures shall not
exceed fifty thousand dollars for taxable years beginning  on  or  after
January  first,  two thousand ten and before January first, two thousand
[fifteen] TWENTY and twenty-five  thousand  dollars  for  taxable  years
beginning on or after January first, two thousand [fifteen] TWENTY.
  (B)  For  taxable years beginning on or after January first, two thou-
sand ten and before January first, two thousand [fifteen] TWENTY, if the
amount of credit  allowable  under  this  subsection  shall  exceed  the

income  for such year does not exceed sixty thousand dollars, the excess
shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded  in
accordance with the provisions of section six hundred eighty-six of this
article,  provided,  however, that no interest shall be paid thereon. If
the taxpayer's New York adjusted gross  income  for  such  year  exceeds
sixty  thousand  dollars,  the excess credit that may be carried over to
the following year or years and may be deducted from the taxpayer's  tax
for  such year or years. For taxable years beginning on or after January
first, two thousand [fifteen] TWENTY, if the amount of credit  allowable
under this subsection shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the
excess  may  be  carried  over to the following year or years and may be
deducted from the taxpayer's tax for such year or years.

of  the  tax  law,  as  amended  by  chapter 472 of the laws of 2010, is
