New York State is reminding to check to see if you qualify for the homeowner tax rebate credit, which is a one-year program that provides direct property tax relief to nearly 3 million eligible homeowners in 2022.
In order to be eligible for the tax rebate credit you must have qualified for a 2022 STAR credit or exemption, had an income that was less than or equal to $250,000 for the 2020 income tax year, and a school tax liability for the 2022-2023 school year that is more than your 2022 STAR benefit.
The Department of Taxation and Finance states you do not need to calculate your income to receive the homeowner tax rebate credit and they will calculate it for you for eligibility purposes and then issue a credit based on their determination.
