The Renters Credit Bill
Kentucky offers renters up to $1,000 tax credit
AN ACT relating to a tax credit for renters.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, renters could claim a refundable credit worth 25% of their rent, up to $1,000, lowering their tax bill.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The credit would put money back in renters’ pockets, helping low‑income families afford housing, but it would also reduce state tax revenue, meaning other services might feel the pinch.
