The Maryland Homeowners Tax Credit Application is a form used to claim the Maryland Homeowners Tax Credit. This tax credit is available to Maryland residents who own and occupy their primary residence in the state. The application provides an opportunity for Maryland residents to reduce their property tax burden. The application covers three types of tax credits: the Homestead Tax Credit, the Homeowners Tax Credit, and the Special Homeowners Tax Credit. The Homestead Tax Credit reduces the amount of property taxes owed on the primary residence. The Homeowners Tax Credit provides a tax credit for certain homeowners who are unable to receive the Homestead Tax Credit due to income restrictions. The Special Homeowners Tax Credit is a refundable credit for certain homeowners who meet certain income restrictions. In order to be eligible for the Maryland Homeowners Tax Credit, applicants must meet certain criteria including filing status, income, and ownership requirements. Applicants must also have a valid Social Security Number and provide proof of income, such as a pay stub or tax return. The Maryland Homeowners Tax Credit Application is available online or can be obtained from the local Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation office.
