Extends Wounded Warrior Caregivers Relief Act to caregivers of certain veterans.
This bill creates a New Jersey tax credit for family caregivers of veterans. It allows caregivers to claim a credit equal to 100% of a veteran's disability compensation (up to $675) if the caregiver has gross income under $100,000 (jointly) or $50,000 (single). The credit applies to caregivers of veterans who are honorably discharged and reside with the caregiver in New Jersey for at least six months during the tax year. It expands eligibility beyond the current law by including all honorably discharged veterans, not just those with service-connected disabilities since September 11, 2001.
