Mississippi / State / 2026 Regular Session

House Bill 4044 (2026) Keeps an income tax delinquent homestead claimant eligible but applies the exemption to the income tax debt

Watching a later dateEnactedScope changed

Signed Takes effect

Expands benefits A claimant behind on state income tax, who was ineligible, becomes eligible, with the exemption applied to the tax debt.

From January 1, 2027, a claimant who failed to comply with the income tax laws is eligible, but the exemption is not deducted; the collector remits the exempted amount to the Department of Revenue against the debt. Also brings Section 27-33-75 forward without HB 420’s age 85 text; bringing a section forward does not amend it, so HB 420 governs.
