This bill adds a new tax credit for taxpayers supporting elderly or disabled relatives.

  • Section 6 of chapter 62 of the General Laws

    (b) A credit of $2,500 shall be allowed against the taxes due if the taxpayer has provided more than one-half of the support for an elderly relative who has attained the age of 70 before the taxable year, or for a totally disabled relative with Alzheimer’s Disease or Dementia, provided that the relative resided with the taxpayer for more than 6 months of the taxable year. If the credit provided in this section reduces the tax to zero, the taxpayer shall be entitled to a refund equal to the amount by which the amount of the credit exceeded the amount of tax due.
