Real Property Tax Credit
The "Circuit Breaker," New York State's income tax credit program for eligible homeowners and renters, helps elderly and moderate income homeowners and renters who pay a disproportionate amount of property tax in relation to their household income. It works like a rebate for real property taxes. File New York State income tax form IT-214 for the credit/rebate, which is available through the Department of Taxation and Finance or your local point of contact.
To inquire about this program and to find out if you are eligible, contact your local point of contact.
