Relates to the treatment of excess credits for the rehabilitation of historic barns
This bill modifies New York's tax credit for renovating historic barns, allowing taxpayers a 25% credit on eligible renovation costs for barns used for agriculture. It restricts the credit for barns previously used for residential purposes, those converted to residential use, or those with altered historic appearance. If the credit exceeds tax liability and income is under $60,000, the excess is refunded without interest; otherwise, it carries forward to future tax years. The policy directly affects New York property owners renovating qualifying agricultural barns.
