Provides gross income tax deduction for senior citizens for certain medical expenses for in-home care or care in assisted living and long-term care facilities and funeral expenses.

This bill (S 145) creates a New Jersey state tax deduction for seniors (62+), blind, or disabled taxpayers. It allows up to $50,000 annually in deductions for qualified long-term care expenses (like in-home care, assisted living, or nursing facility services) paid for the taxpayer, their spouse, or disabled dependents. It also provides a separate $50,000 deduction for unreimbursed funeral expenses of a spouse or disabled dependent who was 62+ or disabled at death. The deduction applies only to unreimbursed expenses not already claimed under existing medical expense tax rules.
