on the return with the income tax paid to the other state, upon producing to the

application of any credits shall not operate to reduce the tax payable under this
chapter to an amount less than would have been payable were the income from the
other state ignored.

tax under KRS 141.020(4) if the laws of the state of which the individual was a

provision under which nonresidents were exempted from gross or net income taxes
to the othe r state, if the state of residence of the nonresident individual allowed a

section. The credit shall be based on the entity owner's distributive share of the
electing entity's items of income, loss, deduction, and credit.
