This bill enacts the "Long-Term Care Tax Credit Act," which allows South Carolina individual income taxpayers to claim a 15% tax credit (up to $2,000 per qualifying individual) on the premiums paid for qualified long-term care insurance contracts that provide coverage for the taxpayer, their spouse, or dependents. The credit cannot be claimed for any premiums that were already deducted or excluded from the taxpayer's income. The act is effective for tax years beginning after 2018.
