Summary: Taxpayers whose federal adjusted gross income does not exceed $55,000 may receive an income tax credit in an amount up to $9,000 for the applicable percentage of expenses incurred for certain modifications to make a homestead accessible to an individual with a disability or physical hardship who resides or will reside in the homestead. The applicable percentage is determined on a sliding scale that ranges from 50% to 100% based on income. This rule identifies the types of home modification expenditures that qualify for the credit and the building standards applicable to the modifications. It is the intent of MaineHousing that the AccessAble Home Tax Credit be administered in a manner that is simple, flexible, accommodating, and suitable for the individual who requires the modification. National accessibility standards are used for reference, rather than as a hard and fast rule.
