Maryland bills seek tax credit to aid care at home for elderly
The Maryland General Assembly considers Senate Bill 347 and House Bill 555 to offer a tax credit against income taxes for part of the net cost of caring for a disabled elderly relative in the taxpayer’s home. The proposal, spearheaded by Rep. Raymond Beck and Sen. Margaret Schweinhaut, would define net cost and provide credits up to the expense exceeding tax liability, with rules to be set by the Comptroller and aging director. The goal is to delay or avoid nursing homes by bolstering family-based care while addressing rising demand for institutional facilities. The bills outline eligibility, credit rate, and calculation based on income and estate value, emphasizing support for frail elderly households. The editorial urges backing the bills and continued expansion of elderly housing options.
