Line 7 Enter the amount from line 7 and code 267 on Form IT-201-ATT, line 6, or Form IT-203-ATT, line 7. Special rule: If you occupied a residence with another taxpayer or taxpayers, you must prorate the amount of credit according to the percentage of the total eligible expenditures each of you contributed. However, if you are married and filing a joint return, do not prorate the credit between spouses. Use only your share of the line 3 amount when you compare line 3 to line 6 to determine which amount is smaller. Submit a statement with your return showing the name of each taxpayer occupying the residence and claiming the credit and the total expenditures contributed by each. Example: You and a parent occupy the same residence. You each pay one-half of the cost of the geothermal energy system equipment. You may claim one-half of the total credit on your New York State return and your parent may claim the other half of the credit on their New York State return. To claim the credit, each of you must file Form IT-267 showing the calculation of the total credit and submit a statement detailing the amounts each of you paid.
