(2) A lessee that makes its own qualified rehabilitation expenditures to a certified historical building for which it is allowed a federal rehabilitation credit in its own right under IRC 47(c)(2)(B)(vi) when the initial lease term is longer than the building's IRC 168(c) recovery period is allowed to claim the Montana rehabilitation credits based on its own investment.

(3) A lessor who elects under U.S. Treasury regulation 26 C.F.R. 1.48-4(f) and (g) to pass the federal rehabilitation credit to a lessee may not claim the Montana credit and, correspondingly, a lessee to whom the federal rehabilitation credit is transferred is entitled to claim the Montana credit.

Unless specified otherwise when the property is purchased, percentage of ownership will be considered equal to 100 percent divided by the number of owners.
