The School Tax Relief (STAR) program offers property tax relief to eligible New York State homeowners.

You can receive the STAR credit if you own your home and it's your primary residence and the combined income of the owners and the owners’ spouses is $500,000 or less.

To enter the STAR credit:

1. Login to your account 
2. Click State from the left menu and click Continue
3. Click Edit next to the NY return
4. Scroll down to Credits and Other Taxes and click Update
5. Click Update next to Property Tax relief for STAR credit

Regarding STAR credit, once I follow MayaD's and LenaH's recommendations for NY return, I got the message: "If you are claiming itemized deductions you must reduce your federal property tax deduction by the amount of New York savings received in 2023." I am claiming itemized deductions. How/where do I reduce my federal property tax deduction? @MayaD @LenaH Thank you very much in advance!

You need to revisit the Property Tax in the Deductions and Credits section on your Federal return:

If you itemize your deductions, reduce your itemized deduction for real estate taxes paid by the total amount of any STAR credit received during the tax year; keep your check stub with your tax records.

ny.gov

To revisit that section:

1. Sign in and open your return if you're not already in it.
2. Inside TurboTax, search for property tax and select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
