Income tax credit for rent forgone due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Establishes for taxable years 2020 through 2024 a nonrefundable income tax credit for landlords for any residential rent forgone during the COVID-19 pandemic. The amount of the credit is 65 percent of lost rent and is limited to $250,000 per taxpayer per year; any excess can be carried forward for up to three years. If a landlord receives rent for which he claimed a credit, such landlord is required to remit to the Department of Taxation the applicable portion of the credit that was granted within 90 days of receiving it.
