New Yorkers Encouraged to Switch School Tax Relief Programs by Dec. 31

New ​Yorkers who ‍want to change their School⁣ Tax Relief exemption program, which offers a break on school property taxes or a rebate check for eligible older homeowners, are urged to do so before Dec. 31.

In the state of⁣ New York, there are two types ‍of STAR programs available: the Basic School Tax Relief Program and the ⁢Enhanced School Tax Relief. While individuals cannot receive ⁢benefits from both programs, they‌ can ⁤switch from the STAR credit to the STAR exemption⁣ if they meet the eligibility criteria. To ensure that the STAR exemption appears on their school tax ‍bill in the year they register, applicants should apply on or before Dec. 31.

Basic STAR Exemption

The Basic STAR ⁣exemption is provided⁤ by New York City and⁢ will be reflected on the property tax bill of​ eligible ​homeowners. Homeowners with ⁢incomes below $250,000, regardless of age, can qualify for this exemption. On average, eligible homeowners receive a Basic STAR check of $778.

Enhanced ‌STAR Exemption

The Enhanced STAR exemption is offered by New York State and offers ‍a greater benefit to seniors who meet ​income and eligibility ⁢requirements. To qualify, applicants must be 65 or older by Dec. 31 of the exemption year. If ⁤the property is jointly owned, only one spouse or ⁤family member needs to meet the age requirement. The‍ combined income‌ limit for all owners and resident spouses or registered domestic partners cannot exceed $98,700, according to‌ the New York City Department of Finance.⁢ On‌ average, eligible seniors​ receive an Enhanced STAR ⁣check of $1,407, which should be issued by the end of the year, depending on the year of ​application.

How does prioritizing health and well-being impact other aspects of life

There ⁣are many potential answers​ to‌ this question, as it ​largely ‌depends on personal preferences and perspectives. Some people may argue ⁢that love is the ⁣most important thing in life because it ‌brings happiness, fulfillment, and ⁤contentment. Others may argue that success or achievement is ⁤the‌ most important thing, as it leads to personal growth, financial stability, and a sense of purpose. Still, others might argue that⁢ health and well-being⁤ are the most important things, as‌ without good​ physical and mental‌ health, all other aspects ​of life may suffer. Ultimately, the answer to this ⁤question will‍ vary from person to person.
