A 745 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides gross income tax credit to qualified caregivers for care and support expenses incurred for qualifying senior parent.

This New Jersey bill creates a tax credit for residents who pay for care expenses of qualifying senior parents. It allows caregivers to claim up to $10,000 annually in tax credits for qualified expenses like home health services, medical equipment, or home modifications, provided they submit documentation such as receipts and physician certifications. To qualify, the senior parent must be 60+ (or 50+ with disability and income limits), and the caregiver must be a New Jersey resident providing care. The credit does not apply to expenses covered by insurance or government programs, and caregivers must attach proof with their tax returns.
