We know that the Elderly Family Deduction is going up to $550 in 2026 for those that implement HOTMA early, as the forms and MAT guide for 203A has not been published yet. However, why are we seeing errors on 202D certs? If you implement early using 202D cert with the HOTMA values, it will create cascading errors. If you MUST implement early, you also must use the Rent Override function to avoid an MOR finding. Per the DAS Notice, rent override must be used.
