AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TAX CREDIT FOR LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE PREMIUM PAYMENTS.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

Section 1. (NEW) (Effective July 1, 2014, and applicable to taxable years commencing on or after January 1, 2014) (a) There shall be allowed a tax credit against the tax imposed under chapter 229 of the general statutes other than the liability imposed under section 12-707 of the general statutes, for premiums paid or incurred by a person for an individual long-term care insurance policy that provides benefits in this state.

(b) The credit allowed pursuant to this section shall be equal to fifteen per cent of the total amount of long-term care insurance premiums paid or incurred during the taxable year, up to a maximum of five hundred dollars per policy, and may be claimed as follows: Persons who file under the state income tax for such taxable year as (1) unmarried individuals, married individuals filing separately or heads of household may claim one such credit; and (2) married individuals filing jointly may claim one such credit per individual long-term care insurance policy, up to a maximum of two such policies.

(c) The credit may only be used to reduce such person's tax liability under chapter 229 of the general statutes for the year in which such credit is applicable. In no event shall such credit be used to reduce such tax liability to less than zero.

(d) The amount of tax due pursuant to sections 12-705 and 12-722 of the general statutes shall be calculated without regard to the credit under this section.


This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections:
