How to do this for 2022 Tax Return? Is this no longer supported on Turbotax for NY State Return?
Yes, TurboTax will include IT-245. When you go through the NY state return, look for a page title Take a look at NY credits and taxes. Click Start next to Active Volunteer Firefighter or Ambulance Worker.
You are entitled to claim this credit if for all of the tax year you:
Note: You cannot claim this credit if you receive a real property tax exemption that relates to your volunteer service. However, if the property has multiple owners, the owner(s) whose volunteer service was not the basis of the exemption may be eligible to claim the credit.
The credit amount is $200 ($400 for married filing joint taxpayers where both spouses are eligible). If the credit exceeds your tax for the year, any excess will be refunded without interest. @kscheller99
