CREDIT COMPUTATION EXAMPLES
To calculate your credit, first divide the allowance from
millage rate. For example, you are a pensioned veteran and
Table 2 above by the taxable value of your homestead. The
rent your home for $395 per month. Your local assessor
result is a percentage (not to exceed 100%). Multiply this
tells you the non-homestead rate for your home is 56 mills
percentage by the property taxes levied on your homestead
(0.056 or $56 for every $1,000 of taxable value). Compute
to arrive at your credit (maximum $1,200).
the credit as follows:
Homeowner’s Example: You are a 90 percent disabled
$395 monthly rent x 12 = $4,740 yearly rent
veteran, age 66, with total household resources of $20,000.
$4,740 x 0.20 = $948 taxes attributable to rent
Your home has a taxable value of $15,000 and the property
$948 / 0.056 (non-homestead rate) = $16,929 (taxable
tax is $750. As a disabled veteran your taxable value
value)
allowance (TVA) from Table 2 above is $4,500. Compute
$3,500 TVA (from Table 2) / $16,929 (taxable value) =
the credit as follows:
20.67% (0.2067) refundable
$4,500 TVA (from Table 2) / $15,000
$948 property taxes x 0.2067 = $196 credit
30% refundable (0.30)
Note:
$750 property taxes x 0.30 = $ 225 credit
• Blind people who rent their homestead do not qualify
Renter’s Example: The taxable value of the rented
for credit on MI-1040CR-2 and should file as blind and
homestead is determined by multiplying your rent by
permanently disabled persons on MI-1040CR.
20 percent and dividing the result by the non-homestead
• Contact your local assessor for the non-homestead rate.
