Homestead Property Tax Credit | Section 8

dandy_andy · ‎February 16, 2023

I have a Section 8 voucher that pays $550 of my $600 rent - I pay $50.

In regards to the Homestead Property Tax Credit, do I say that I pay $50 per month for rent or that rent is $600?

I am assuming that I must choose $50 as I cannot count what the government pays for rental assistance.

Saying $50 = $138 state return

Entering $600 = $1,426 state return

The only income I had last year was cash gifts from my mom to help me out while I pursue SSI disability.

You can only claim what you actually paid yourself.
