This credit expired on December 31, 2013.

 

Individuals may claim a credit equal to 15% of the amount paid by the individual during the taxable year in long-term care insurance premiums for long-term care insurance coverage for himself, but the total credits for any policy may not exceed 15% of the amount of premiums paid for the first 12 months of coverage.

 

Any unused credit may be carried forward for the next 5 taxable years.  In order to determine the amount that may be used as a basis for this credit, the individual must subtract any amount actually included as a deduction on Schedule A of the individual's federal income tax return.  In addition, the individual may not claim this credit to the extent the premiums have been used to claim the Virginia deduction for long-term healthcare premiums.  It may be possible, however, for an individual to claim this credit and the Virginia deduction in the same year.
