NURSING HOME CREDIT A credit is allowed for an individual who pays expenses for his/her own support or the support of another to an institution, in any state, providing nursing facility level of care or to a provider for in-home or community care. A physician must certify that nursing care is needed.
No credit is allowed for expenses paid from public source funds (such as Medicaid or Veterans Administration). The credit is computed by multiplying the paid expenses by 20% not to exceed a maximum credit of $300.00. No carryover is permitted if credit exceeds tax due.
