Provides gross income tax credit to certain totally and permanently disabled veterans for rent constituting property taxes.
This bill provides a tax credit to New Jersey veterans who are totally and permanently disabled due to service-connected injuries or illnesses (such as paralysis, blindness, or amputations). The credit equals the rent a veteran pays for their primary residence, if that rent is treated as property taxes under state law. The credit is applied against the veteran's state income tax, with any excess refunded. It also extends this credit to surviving spouses of eligible veterans under specific conditions.
