If you paid premiums for qualified long-term care insurance, you may claim a credit against your personal income tax equal to 20% of the premiums paid during the tax year for the purchase of or for continuing coverage under a qualifying long-term care insurance policy. For tax years beginning after 2020, the credit has been adjusted to allow a New York resident taxpayer to claim the credit only if the taxpayer’s New York adjusted gross income (NYAGI) is less than $250,000. The change also limited the credit amount to $1,500.
