HF355 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))
Maximum long-term care insurance credit increased.
Related bill: SF1399
AI Generated Summary
This bill is a proposal to increase the tax credit available for premiums paid on long-term care insurance policies in Minnesota. Currently, the tax credit stands at 25% of the premiums paid, and this will not change. However, the bill aims to raise the maximum amount of credit that can be claimed:
- From $100 to $250 for each qualified beneficiary.
- From $200 to $500 for married couples filing joint tax returns.
- The same increased limit of $250 applies to all other types of filers, such as individuals and heads of households.
This means that if the bill is passed, taxpayers who pay premiums for long-term care insurance will potentially receive a greater deduction on their state income tax, up to the new limits. This change is intended to encourage more Minnesotans to purchase long-term care insurance by making it more financially attractive.
