Get 2003 Form 8586. Low-Income Housing Credit

You may be eligible for a California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) up to $3,417 for tax year 2022 as a working family or individual earning up to $30,000 per year. You must claim the credit on the 2022 FTB 3514 form, California Earned Income Tax Credit, or if you e-file follow your software's instructions.

Many types of properties are LIHTC-eligible, including single-family homes, apartment buildings, multifamily homes, townhouses and duplexes. While low-income families don't qualify for the tax credit, they can qualify to live in a LIHTC program property.

Use Form 8586 to claim the low-income housing credit. This general business credit is allowed for each new qualified low-income building placed in service after 1986. Generally, it is taken over a 10-year credit period.

Almost all new affordable rental housing in California is financed through federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), which come in two forms: 9% and 4% credits.

Basic Qualifying Rules To qualify for the EITC, you must: Have worked and earned income under $63,398. Have investment income below $11,000 in the tax year 2023. Have a valid Social Security number by the due date of your 2023 return (including extensions)

To be eligible for the program, a family's gross annual income must be below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) in Los Angeles County. Seventy-five percent of new admissions must have gross annual incomes at or below 30% of the AMI. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines the AMI yearly.

The LIHTC program reduces the federal tax liability in exchange for the acquisition, rehabilitation, or construction of affordable rental housing units that will remain income and rent restricted over a long period (55 years for California).

This form is used by owners of qualified residential rental buildings in low-income housing projects to figure the amount of their low-income housing credit, a component of the general business credit.
