To be eligible for the STAR credit:

 

  • There is no age requirement.
  • Everyone who lives in your household must make MORE than $250,000
  • You must Register for the STAR credit with New York State.
  • Income is federal adjusted gross income with some adjustments.
  • The property must be the primary residence of at least one owner.
  • Married couples owning more than one property can only have STAR on one property unless they are divorced. 
  • The approximate benefit is a $290 tax reduction.
