The bill modifies the homestead income tax credit by lowering the income threshold for the credit calculation, increasing the maximum household income limit, and indexing certain amounts for inflation.

71.54(1)(h)

If the household income was more than $8,060 in the year to which the claim relates, the claim is limited to 80 percent of the amount by which the property taxes accrued or rent constituting property taxes accrued or both in that year on the claimant’s homestead exceeds 5.614 percent of the household income exceeding $8,060.

The percentage decrease for household income over $8,060 is reduced from 8.785 to 5.614 percent.
71.54(1)(h)

No credit may be allowed if the household income exceeds $35,000.

The maximum household income limit for claiming the credit is raised from $24,680 to $35,000.
71.54(2)(b)4.

~~$1,460.~~ → $1,460.

The maximum property taxes or rent amount used to calculate the credit remains at $1,460.
71.54(2)(b)5.

$1,460.

This adds a provision to maintain the maximum property tax credit amount for 2025 and beyond.
71.54(2m)

~~71.54 (2m) INDEXING FOR INFLATION; 2010 AND THEREAFTER .~~ → 71.54 (2m) INDEXING FOR INFLATION; 2026 AND THEREAFTER.

The bill updates the indexing for inflation to begin in 2026.
71.54(2m)(a)

~~sub. (1) (f) (h) 1. and 2., the maximum household income under sub. (1) (f) (h) 3., and the maximum property taxes under sub. (2) (b) 3.~~ → sub. (1) (h) 1. and 2., the maximum household income under sub. (1) (h) 3., and the maximum property taxes under sub. (2) (b) 5.

This updates the references in the inflation indexing section to account for the changes made in the bill.
