Posted 10/18/24

If you own a home that is your primary residence and your income is $500,000 or less, you’re eligible for the Basic STAR credit. In addition, if you’re 65 or older with an income of $98,700 or less, you may be eligible for the Enhanced STAR credit. Eligible new homeowners will receive their STAR savings in the form of a check or direct deposit directly from New York State. But you must register with the New York State Tax Department to receive the credit. You can register 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at www.tax.ny.gov/star.www.tax.ny.gov/starwww.tax.ny.gov/star.

 Property owners without access to the internet can register by phone at 518-457-2036 weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
