Rejected by MD

Hello. On my md state income tax form for 2019 I filed for a $500 credit for Long Term Nursing Care Insurance. Yesterday I received from MD my tax form MINUS the credit! What gives, why did this happen, did I do something wrong when filling out the form on Turbo Tax?

thanks,

Michael

Maryland states:

Qualifications

To qualify for the credit, the insured must be all of the following:

A spouse, parent, stepparent, child or stepchild.
A Maryland resident.
Not covered by long-term care insurance before July 1, 2000.
Not claimed the credit for the insured by another taxpayer this year.
Not claimed the credit for the insured by anyone in any other tax year.

For the current tax year, you can claim a credit equal to the premiums paid, up to a maximum of $420 for each insured person 40 years of age or younger, and up to a maximum of $500 for each insured person 41 or older.

This tax credit must not have been claimed for the insured by another taxpayer in this year or anyone else in any other tax year. If the credit exceeds the tax liability, the unused credit may not be carried forward to any other tax year.

See https://www.marylandtaxes.gov/individual/credits-deductions/index.php

Do you satisfy all those qualifications? For example, did you take this credit in a previous year? Are you filing a nonresident return?

How did you answer the questions in the Maryland interview?

It depends.

As we cannot see your return here since this is a public forum, I would recommend contacting the Taxpayer Services for Maryland using the information in the link below.

Maryland Taxpayer Service

They will be able to provide you with specific information as to why your credit was not allowed.

Also, typically if a taxing agency makes an adjustment to your return, they will mail you a letter or notice explaining why they made the changes.
