 3 (uuu) Caregiver credit. (1) For taxable years beginning on or after
 4 the first of January next succeeding the effective date of this
 5 subsection, a qualifying taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
 6 taxes imposed by this article in the amount of fifty percent of their
 7 out-of-pocket spending on caregiver expenses, not to exceed six thousand
 8 dollars.
 9 (2) A taxpayer shall be eligible for a tax credit under this
 10 subsection if such taxpayer meets the following criteria:

 12 assistance with at least one activity of daily living, as defined in 10
 13 NYCRR 69-10.1;
 14 (B) qualify as a dependent pursuant to 26 USC 152(d); and
 15 (C) meet the income eligibility requirements of subsection (c-1) of
 16 this section.
 17 (3) If the amount of the credit allowed under this subsection for any
 18 taxable year shall exceed the taxpayer's tax for such year, the excess
 19 shall be treated as an overpayment of tax to be credited or refunded in
 20 accordance with the provisions of section six hundred eighty-six of this
 21 article, provided, however, that no interest shall be paid thereon.
 22 (4) The commissioner in consultation with the director of the state
 23 office for the aging shall promulgate all rules and regulations neces-
 24 sary for the implementation of this subsection.
 25 § 2. The elder law is amended by adding a new section 221 to read as
