What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill creates a refundable individual income tax credit for claimants who are at least 70 and one-half years old and whose federal adjusted gross income is no more than 2.5 times the federal poverty level in the year to which the claim relates.
The credit amount is calculated as the difference between the claimant's school district portion of the property tax assessment on his or her principal dwelling in the year to which the claim relates, and the claimant's school district portion of the property tax assessment on that same dwelling in the previous year. To be able to claim the credit, the claimant must have paid the property taxes that are the basis of the calculation.

Because the credit is refundable, if the amount of the claim exceeds the claimant's tax liability, the excess amount is refunded to the claimant by check. The credit may not be claimed by part-year and nonresidents of this state. Under the bill, no credit may be claimed for any increase in property taxes due to improvements the claimant makes to the principal dwelling.
