(b) The credit allowed pursuant to this section shall be five hundred dollars for the premiums paid by such resident on each such long-term policy as follows: (1) In the case of a resident who files under the federal income tax for such taxable year as an unmarried individual, a married individual filing separately or a head of household, one long-term care policy shall be eligible for a credit under the provisions of this section; and (2) in the case of residents who file under federal income tax for such taxable year as married individuals filing jointly, no more than two such policies shall be eligible for such credit.
