Tips & notes

• There’s no search box — use your browser’s find to jump to a year.
• COLA is based on the CPI-W change from Q3 of the prior year to Q3 of the current year.
• Social Security and SSI count as annual income for LIHTC — use this to confirm a reported benefit matches the year’s adjustment.
