The amount claimed by the individual shall be based upon the pro rata share of the individual’s earnings of the partnership, subchapter S corporation, or estate or trust. Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the tax year may be credited to the tax liability for the following ten tax years or until depleted, whichever is the earlier.

(3) For purposes of this section, “agreement”, “industry”, “new job”, and “project” mean the same as defined in section 260E.2 and “base employment level” means the number of full-time jobs an industry employs at the plant site which is covered by an agreement under chapter 260E on the date of that agreement.
