Affordable Housing Credit Carryback Act
The Affordable Housing Credit Carryback Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow taxpayers to claim a five-year carryback for unused low-income housing tax credits. This provision enables developers and investors who have not fully utilized their allocated credits in the current year to apply them against taxes owed in previous years. By extending this refund mechanism, the bill provides financial flexibility to entities involved in affordable housing projects, potentially accelerating the development of such units.
