This legislation would provide a tax credit for homeowners who renovate their homes to accommodate an elderly family member, a family member with a disability, or a qualified family member who lives with the homeowner to provide care. The tax credit would help offset the cost of home modifications, such as installing handrails and stairlifts, widening doorways, and adding separate entrances, making in-home caregiving a more affordable option for families caring for aging relatives.
Provide a tax credit of up to $7,500 for homeowners who make qualifying renovations to accommodate an elderly family member, a family member with a disability, or a family caregiver living in the home.

Assessments
The verified commitment describes proposed legislation that would create an up-to-$7,500 tax credit for qualifying home modifications. The only verified passage confirms the proposed credit amount and purpose, but it does not show enactment or that the federal tax credit became available. With no documented deadline expired as of 2026-10-07, introduction/legislative effort alone is not delivery of the promised tax-credit outcome.
