 in the taxable year that  the  qualified  rehabilitation  is  placed  in
 service under section 167 of the federal internal revenue code.
   (3)  If the taxpayer is allowed a credit pursuant to section 47 of the

 of  section  50  of  the  internal revenue code, a portion of the credit
 allowed under this subsection must be added back  in  the  same  taxable
 year and in the same proportion as the federal recapture.
   (4)  If the amount of the credit allowed under this subsection for any
 taxable year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year,  the  excess
 shall  be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in
