    For more than a decade, New Yorkers had been able to receive Medicaid home care services without worrying about the five-year look back period for non-exempt asset transfers (gifts), which is imposed for Medicaid nursing home eligibility. One could transfer all of their savings and home without incurring any period of ineligibility for Medicaid Home Care Services. Unfortunately, this advantage came to an end in 2020.

    In 2018, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was enacted. As part of the revised provisions, the IRS limited the deductibility of state and local tax (SALT) payments as an itemized deduction for federal income tax purposes to $10,000 in a calendar year. This limitation has generally increased taxes due to the federal government for many individuals.

    COVID-19 caused millions of people to make a change in where and how they were living. To get away from crowds, they left cities in favor of the suburbs. Others sheltered in place free of the obligation to travel to an office. In many cases, this did not affect their taxes. However, where taxpayers lived and worked in different states, an opportunity arose to revisit their taxes.
