Basic Change:
HB1366 creates a non-refundable income tax credit for the construction, acquisition, and installation of
a storm shelter on the site of a taxpayer's primary residence. The credit is equal to the lesser of 50% of
the cost of the storm shelter or $3,000. The total amount of income tax credits issued to all taxpayers
during a calendar year is capped at $2,000,000.
A qualified storm shelter must:
• Be a storm shelter or safe room built or installed on the site of a taxpayer's primary residence;
• Be capable of withstanding an EF-5 tornado; and
• Meet or exceed minimum criteria established by FEMA.
A taxpayer who desires to claim the credit must first file an informational report with the Division of
Emergency Management (ADEM) detailing the costs associated with the construction, acquisition, and
installation of the storm shelter. Upon approval, ADEM will issue an income tax credit certificate
