You may be eligible for Enhanced STAR if:
- You or your spouse will turn, or have turned, 64 before December 31, 2009.
- Your household income does not exceed $74,700*
To calculate income for Enhanced STAR, the Nassau County Board of Assessors requires a copy of the previous year’s State or federal income tax return. The Adjusted Gross income (AGI) less any IRA distributions determines eligibility.
Enhanced Star is income-sensitive, and you must opt for New York State to automatically review your income every year. If you do not opt for the automatic review, you will have to re-apply every year.
IF you are currently receiving the Basic STAR exemption, you must submit a new application for Enhanced STAR, and you must file by December 31, 2009.
*For property jointly owned by a husband and wife or by siblings, combined income must be no greater than $74,700.
