||||||
|
<br>Special Situations<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>1. Shared Housing - If you share a home however are not the owner or you do not have an agreement to pay lease, you can not claim a credit.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>When 2 or more single adults share a home, each might claim a credit if each has contracted to pay rent or owns a share of the home. Each need to file a home heating credit based on his or her overall household resources and his/her share of the standard allowance. First, figure out the basic allowance, from Table A, by including the personal exemptions of all the plaintiffs sharing a home. Divide this standard allowance by the number of complaintants in the home.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Example: Three guys share an apartment. Each has actually a signed lease and pays 1/3 of the lease. The standard allowance for three exemptions is $958. Everyone should use a standard allowance of $319 ($ 958 ÷ 3 = $319) to compute his credit.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Example, if you are eligible for an unique exemption or a dependent exemption: Catherine and Betty share a home and each pay one half of the lease. Catherine is age 59 and Betty is age 65 and totally and permanently disabled. They file separate MI-1040CR-7 claims. They must first divide $760 (the standard allowance for 2 exemptions) by two. Catherine's allowance is $380 ($ 760 ÷ 2 = $380).<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Betty's allowance is also $380, however, she receives a special exemption for being disabled (as she is entitled to a handicapped exemption until she is eligible for complete Social Security at age 66 and 4 months). She may also add an extra $198 to her basic allowance, because the distinction in between the basic allowance for three exemptions ($ 958) and the basic allowance for 2 exemptions ($ 760) is $198.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>$ 958 - $760 = $198 + $380 = $578<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The basic allowance Betty is eligible to claim is $578.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>2. Part-Year Resident or Occupied Homestead Less Than 12 Months - You need to prorate your standard allowance for the number of days you owned or leased and inhabited your Michigan homestead. For instance, you moved to Michigan on September 1. It is 122 days from September 1 to December 31. Divide 122 by 365 days and increase the result by your standard allowance. Enter the prorated basic allowance on line 38 of your claim. If you are a part-year local, you should include all earnings received from any sources while a Michigan local in overall family resources.<br>
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
