The income threshold at which the maximum credit

of section 1(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that in section 1(f)(3)(B), the word
"2014" shall be substituted for the word "1992." For 2016, the commissioner shall then
determine the percent change from the 12 months ending on August 31, 2014, to the 12
months ending on August 31, 2015, and in each subsequent year, from the 12 months
ending August 31, 2014, to the 12 months ending on August 31 of the year preceding
the taxable year. The income threshold as adjusted for inflation must be rounded to the
nearest $10 amount. If the amount ends in $5, the amount is rounded up to the nearest
$10 amount. The determination of the commissioner under this subdivision is not a rule
under the Administrative Procedure Act.
