Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to permit an individual taxpayer to decrease his or her federal adjusted gross income up to $1,000 for nursing home expenses for the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse.
As written, this bill would allow a decreasing modification to federal adjusted gross income for nursing home expenses up to $1,000 per year attributable a taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse, only to the extent that the amount is not allowable as a deduction when arriving at the taxpayer’s federal adjusted gross income for the taxable year in which the payment is made. The passage of this bill would result in a loss to the General Revenue Fund of roughly $400,000 per year.
If all returns were accepted as filed, there would be no additional administrative cost to the State Tax Department.
