The amount of the credit is 50% of the eligible expenditures not to exceed $2,000 per eligible family member per calendar year. If the eligible family member is a veteran or has a diagnosis of dementia from a health care professional, the amount of the credit cannot exceed $3,000. (b) Definitions. For purposes of this Section, " activities of daily living ", " eligible expenditure ", " eligible family member ", and " family caregiver " mean the same as these terms are defined in 68 O.S. 2023, § 2357.801(A). (c) Multiple caregivers . If two or more family caregivers claim the tax credit for the same eligible family member, the maximum allowable credit shall be allocated in equal amounts between each of the family caregivers. (d) Verification. OTC Form 592 must be filed with each claimant’s tax return, along with any other information or documentation the Tax Commission may require, such as receipts to support the claimed expenses, proof of veteran status and/or documentation to support a diagnosis of dementia for the eligible family member. (e) Limitation of credit . The total credits authorized shall not exceed $1,500,000 annually. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall calculate and publish, by the first day of the affected year, a percentage by which the credits shall be reduced so the total amount of credits used to offset tax does not exceed $1,500,000 per year.
