In some cases the amount on line 44 is limited. If line 33 is over $51,000 or if the return is not for a full year, there would be an alternate calculation.
Here is an excerpt from the instructions for this line:
"If Total Household Resources on line 33 is over $51,000, line 44 is automatically reduced according to the MI-1040CR, Homestead Property Tax Credit instructions.
For deceased taxpayers or part year taxpayers, the maximum credit is a proration of $1,500, this is the days alive or a resident in Michigan divided by number of days in the year multiplied by the $1,500. The credit is limited to this amount or credit that was originally calculated, whichever is less."
