The Homestead Credit is a tax benefit for renters and homeowners with low or moderate incomes. It is designed to lessen the impact of rent and property taxes. Qualifying persons can get back some or all of their state taxes withheld during the year.
The rate may be increased by a state budget agency. The homestead credit may be combined with a host of other property tax deductions, exemptions and credits. The homestead credit is funded by the state of Indiana. The state reimburses county governments for the cost, and the county sends a check to the taxpayer.
