Thanks to an increased deduction included in last year's tax cut package, Massachusetts renters can claim an extra $50 on their tax returns in 2024 and beyond. But some experts and activists say the benefit doesn't do much to help struggling renters.

    Grandstanding, that was the point.

    The tax credit is based on like 1980s rents. $4000 is less than two months rent at today’s rates. Everyone I know is paying well over $1000 unless they are living with more more than person per bedroom.
