    Interest Subtractions for Form IL-1120 financial organizations only
If you are a financial organization, as defined in the Illinois Income Tax Act (IITA), Section 1501(a)(8), you may subtract any interest income 
received during the tax year from a loan made to a borrower, to the extent the loan is secured by qualified property that is eligible for the River 
Edge Redevelopment Zone or High Impact Business Investment Credit.
“Qualified property” is property that 
•  is tangible; 
•  is depreciable according to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 167; 
•  has a useful life of four or more years as of the date placed in service in Illinois; and 
• is acquired by purchase as defined in IRC Section 179(d). 
Qualified property can be new or used but does not qualify for the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone Investment Credit 
if it was previously used in Illinois in a manner that qualified for that credit or for the Replacement Tax Investment Credit on Form IL-477. 
Qualified property includes buildings, structural components of buildings, and signs that are real property. It does not include land or 
improvements to real property that are not a structural component of a building, such as landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, 
fencing, parking lots, and other appurtenances.
Any improvement or addition made on or after the date the enterprise zone or river edge redevelopment zone was designated, or on or after 
the date the business was designated as a high impact business, is considered to be qualified property to the extent that the improvement or 
addition increases the adjusted basis of the property previously placed in service in Illinois and otherwise meets the requirements of qualified 
property.
