Increase Elderly Homeowner and Renter Income Tax Credit
State Bills: Montana
Summary
Montana HB831 sought to increase the income tax credit for elderly homeowners and renters. The bill passed both chambers but was vetoed by Governor Gianforte on June 19, 2025. The veto override attempt failed in the legislature on July 23, 2025, resulting in the bill's failure to become law.
What changed
Montana HB831 would have increased the income tax credit available to elderly homeowners and renters. The bill passed the House (78-21) and Senate (45-5) after amendments, only to be vetoed by the Governor on June 19, 2025. The legislature failed to achieve the votes needed to override the veto on July 23, 2025.
Since the bill failed to become law, there are no compliance requirements, deadlines, or penalties associated with this legislation. Tax credit provisions remain unchanged under current Montana law.
