NYS IT-258 Form

I am amending a NYS 2021 tax return to claim the Nursing Home Assessment credit for my dad (didn't know about it then). He directly paid the assessment from his own funds. I check that box, but it comes back with "you do not meet the qualifications for the nursing home assessment credit", but he does. Why isn't it bringing up the form?

Hi RalphLS,

It's always nice to find new tax credits! The Nursing Home Assessment credit will be applied if the following are true:

You paid a public health assessment imposed on a New York residential health care facility
The assessment is separately stated on the billing statements
You paid the assessment directly

See the NY DOR for more on eligibility criteria. I have confirmed that when all three situations above apply, the program functions as designed and allows the credit.
