(1) If the amount appropriated under section 425.40 plus any supplemental appropriation made for a fiscal year for purposes of this lettered paragraph is at least twenty-seven million dollars, the tentative credit or reimbursement shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule: Q $KIP$ 1 P MARGINS F *T( $T11@ Percent of property taxes ~~ $T11@ due or rent constituting ~~ $T11@ property taxes paid ~~ If the household$T11@ allowed as a credit or ~~ income is:$T11@ reimbursement: ~~ $ 0--- 5,999.99$DTL16@100% ~~ 6,000--- 6,999.99$DTL16@ 85 ~~ 7,000--- 7,999.99$DTL16@ 70 ~~ 8,000--- 9,999.99$DTL16@ 50 ~~ 10,000---11,999.99$DTL16@ 35 ~~ 12,000---13,999.99$DTL16@ 25 ~~ Q $KIP$ 1 P MARGINS L *T)

2. The actual credit for property taxes due shall be determined by subtracting from the tentative credit the amount of the homestead credit under section 425.1 which is allowed as a credit against property taxes due in the fiscal year next following the base year by the claimant or any person of the claimant's household. If the subtraction produces a negative amount, there shall be no credit but no refund shall be required. The actual reimbursement for rent constituting property taxes paid shall be equal to the tentative reimbursement.
3. a. A person who is eligible to file a claim for credit for property taxes due and who has a household income of six thousand dollars or less and who has an unpaid special assessment levied against the homestead may file a claim with the county treasurer that the claimant had a household income of six thousand dollars or less and that an unpaid special assessment is presently levied against the homestead. The department shall provide to the respective treasurers the forms necessary for the administration of this subsection. The claim shall be filed not later than September 30 of each year. Upon the filing of the claim, interest for late payment shall not accrue against the amount of the unpaid special assessment due and payable. The claim filed by the claimant constitutes a claim for credit of an amount equal to the actual amount due upon the unpaid special assessment, plus interest, payable during the fiscal year for which the claim is filed against the homestead of the claimant. However, where the claimant is an individual described in section 425.17, subsection 2, paragraph "b", and the tentative credit is determined according to the schedule in section 425.23, subsection 1, paragraph "b", subparagraph (2), the claim filed constitutes a claim for credit of an amount equal to one-half of the actual amount due and payable during the fiscal year. The department of revenue and finance shall, upon the filing of the claim with the department by the treasurer, pay that amount of the unpaid special assessment during the current fiscal year to the treasurer. The treasurer shall submit the claims to the director of revenue and finance not later than October 15 of each year. The director of revenue and finance shall certify the amount of reimbursement due each county for unpaid special assessment credits allowed under this subsection. The amount of reimbursement due each county shall be paid by the director of revenue and finance on October 20 of each year, drawn upon warrants payable to the respective treasurer. There is appropriated annually from the general fund of the state to the department of revenue and finance an amount sufficient to carry out the provisions of this subsection. The treasurer shall credit any moneys received from the department against the amount of the unpaid special assessment due and payable on the homestead of the claimant.
b. For purposes of this subsection, a totally disabled person in computing household income shall deduct all medical and necessary care expenses paid during the twelve-month income tax accounting periods used in computing household income which are attributable to the person's total disability. "Medical and necessary care expenses" are those used in computing the federal income tax deduction under section 213 of the Internal Revenue Code as defined in section 422.3.
