S. 1601 2 A. 939
1 [(c)] (C) "Household gross income" means the aggregate adjusted gross
2 income of all members of the household for the taxable year as reported
3 for federal income tax purposes, or which would be reported as adjusted
4 gross income if a federal income tax return were required to be filed,
5 with the modifications in subsection (b) of section six hundred twelve
6 but without the modifications in subsection (c) of such section, plus
7 any portion of the gain from the sale or exchange of property otherwise
8 excluded from such amount; earned income from sources without the United
9 States excludable from federal gross income by section nine hundred
10 eleven of the internal revenue code; support money not included in
11 adjusted gross income; nontaxable strike benefits; supplemental security
12 income payments; the gross amount of any pension or annuity benefits to
13 the extent not included in such adjusted gross income (including, but
14 not limited to, railroad retirement benefits and all payments received
15 under the federal social security act and veterans' disability
16 pensions); nontaxable interest received from the state of New York, its
17 agencies, instrumentalities, public corporations, or political subdivi-
18 sions (including a public corporation created pursuant to agreement or
19 compact with another state or Canada); workers' compensation; the gross
20 amount of "loss-of-time" insurance; and the amount of cash public
21 assistance and relief, other than medical assistance for the needy, paid
22 to or for the benefit of the qualified taxpayer or members of his house-
23 hold. Household gross income shall not include surplus foods or other
24 relief in kind or payments made to individuals because of their status
25 as victims of Nazi persecution as defined in P.L. 103-286. Provided,
26 further, household gross income shall only include all such income
27 received by all members of the household while members of such house-
28 hold.
29 (D) "Residence" means a dwelling in this state, whether owned or
30 rented, and so much of the land abutting it, not exceeding one acre, as
31 is reasonably necessary for use of the dwelling as a home, and may
32 consist of a part of a multi-dwelling or multi-purpose building includ-
33 ing a cooperative or condominium, and rental units within a single
34 dwelling. Residence includes a trailer or mobile home, used exclusively
35 for residential purposes and defined as real property pursuant to para-
36 graph (g) of subdivision twelve of section one hundred two of the real
37 property tax law.
38 (E) "Qualifying real property taxes" means all real property taxes,
39 special ad valorem levies and special assessments, exclusive of penal-
40 ties and interest, levied on the residence of a qualified taxpayer and
41 paid during the taxable year less the credit claimed under the former
42 subsection (n-1) of this section. In addition, for taxable years begin-
43 ning after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-four, a quali-
44 fied taxpayer may elect to include any additional amount that would have
45 been levied in the absence of an exemption from real property taxation
46 pursuant to section four hundred sixty-seven of the real property tax
47 law. If tenant-stockholders in a cooperative housing corporation have
48 met the requirements of section two hundred sixteen of the internal
49 revenue code by which they are allowed a deduction for real estate
50 taxes, the amount of taxes so allowable, or which would be allowable if
51 the taxpayer had filed returns on a cash basis, shall be qualifying real
52 property taxes. If a residence is owned by two or more individuals as
53 joint tenants or tenants in common, and one or more than one individual
54 is not a member of the household, qualifying real property taxes is that
55 part of such taxes on the residence which reflects the ownership
56 percentage of the qualified taxpayer and members of his household. If a
S. 1601 3 A. 939
1 residence is an integral part of a larger unit, qualifying real property
2 taxes shall be limited to that amount of such taxes paid as may be
3 reasonably apportioned to such residence. If a household owns and occu-
4 pies two or more residences during different periods in the same taxable
5 year, qualifying real property taxes shall be the sum of the prorated
6 qualifying real property taxes attributable to the household during the
7 periods such household occupies each of such residences. If the house-
8 hold owns and occupies a residence for part of the taxable year and
9 rents a residence for part of the same taxable year, it may include both
10 the proration of qualifying real property taxes on the residence owned
11 and the real property tax equivalent with respect to the months the
12 residence is rented. Provided, however, for purposes of the credit
13 allowed under this subsection, qualifying real property taxes may be
14 included by a qualified taxpayer only to the extent that such taxpayer
15 or the spouse of such taxpayer occupying such residence for six months
16 or more of the taxable year owns or has owned the residence and paid
17 such taxes.
18 (F) "Real property tax equivalent" means twenty-five percent of the
19 adjusted rent actually paid in the taxable year by a household solely
20 for the right of occupancy of its New York residence for the taxable
21 year. If (i) a residence is rented to two or more individuals as coten-
22 ants, or such individuals share in the payment of a single rent for the
23 right of occupancy of such residence, and (ii) each of such individuals
24 is a member of a different household, one or more of which individuals
25 shares such residence, real property tax equivalent is that portion of
26 twenty-five percent of the adjusted rent paid in the taxable year which
27 reflects that portion of the rent attributable to the qualified taxpayer
28 and the members of his household.
29 (G) "Adjusted rent" means rental paid for the right of occupancy of a
30 residence, excluding charges for heat, gas, electricity, furnishings and
31 board. Where charges for heat, gas, electricity, furnishing or board
32 are included in rental but where such charges and the amount thereof are
33 not separately set forth in a written rental agreement, for purposes of
34 determining adjusted rent the qualified taxpayer shall reduce rental
35 paid as follows:
36 (i) For heat, or heat and gas, deduct fifteen percent of rental paid.
37 (ii) For heat, gas and electricity, deduct twenty percent of rental
38 paid.
39 (iii) For heat, gas, electricity and furnishings, deduct twenty-five
40 percent of rental paid.
41 (iv) For heat, gas, electricity, furnishings and board, deduct fifty
42 percent of rental paid.
43 If the [tax commission] commissioner determines that the adjusted rent
44 shown on the return is excessive, the [tax commission] commissioner may
45 reduce such rent, for purposes of the computation of the credit, to an
46 amount substantially equivalent to rent for a comparable accommodation.
47 (2) A qualified taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as provided in
48 paragraph three hereof against the taxes imposed by this article reduced
49 by the credits permitted by this article. If the credit exceeds the tax
50 as so reduced for such year under this article the qualified taxpayer
51 may receive, and the comptroller, subject to a certificate of the [state
52 tax commission] commissioner, shall pay as an overpayment, without
53 interest, any excess between such tax as so reduced and the amount of
54 the credit. If a qualified taxpayer is not required to file a return
55 pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one of this article, a qualified
56 taxpayer may nevertheless receive and the comptroller, subject to a
S. 1601 4 A. 939
1 certificate of the [state tax commission] commissioner, shall pay as an
2 overpayment the full amount of the credit, without interest.
3 (3) Determination of credit. (A) For qualified taxpayers who have
4 attained the age of sixty-five years or a permanent and total disability
5 as defined in section twenty-two of the internal revenue code before the
6 beginning of or during the taxable year the amount of the credit allow-
7 able under this subsection shall be fifty percent, or in the case of a
8 qualified taxpayer who has elected to include an additional amount
9 pursuant to subparagraph (E) of paragraph one of this subsection, twen-
10 ty-five percent, of the excess of real property taxes or the excess of
11 real property tax equivalent determined as follows:
12 Excess real property taxes are
13 the excess of real property tax
14 equivalent or the excess of
15 If household gross qualifying real property taxes
16 income for the over the following percentage of
17 taxable year is: household gross income:

31 (4) If a qualified taxpayer occupies a residence for a period of less
32 than twelve months during the taxable year or occupies two or more resi-
33 dences during different periods in such taxable year, the credit allowed
34 pursuant to this subsection shall be computed in such manner as the [tax
35 commission] commissioner may, by regulation, prescribe in order to prop-
36 erly reflect the credit or portion thereof attributable to such resi-
37 dence or residences and such period or periods.
38 (5) The [tax commission] commissioner may prescribe that the credit
39 under this subsection shall be determined in whole or in part by the use
40 of tables prescribed by such [commission] commissioner. Such tables
41 shall set forth the credit to the nearest dollar.
42 (6) Only one credit per household and per qualified taxpayer shall be
43 allowed per taxable year under this subsection. When two or more
44 members of a household are able to meet the qualifications for a quali-
45 fied taxpayer, the credit shall be equally divided between or among such
46 individuals unless such individuals file with the [tax commission]
47 commissioner a written agreement among such individuals setting forth a
48 different division. Where two or more members of a household are able
49 to meet the qualifications of a qualified taxpayer and one of them is
50 sixty-five years of age or more or has a permanent and total disability,
51 the credit which may be taken shall be the credit applicable to individ-
52 uals who have attained the age of sixty-five years.
53 (A) Provided, however, where a joint income tax return has been filed
54 pursuant to the provisions of section six hundred fifty-one of this
55 article by a qualified taxpayer and his or her spouse (or where both
56 spouses are qualified taxpayers and have filed such joint return), the
S. 1601 7 A. 939
1 credit, or the portion of the credit if divided, to which the husband
2 and wife are entitled shall be applied against the tax of both spouses
3 and any overpayment shall be made to both spouses.
4 (B) Where any return required to be filed pursuant to the provisions
5 of section six hundred fifty-one of this article is combined with any
6 return of tax imposed pursuant to the authority of this chapter or any
7 other law if such tax is administered by the [tax commission] commis-
8 sioner, the credit or the portion of the credit if divided, allowed to
9 the qualified taxpayer may be applied by the [tax commission] commis-
10 sioner toward any liability for the aforementioned taxes.
11 (7) No credit shall be granted under this subsection:
12 (A) If household gross income for the taxable year exceeds [eighteen]
13 thirty-six thousand dollars.
14 (B) To a property owner unless: (i) the property is used for residen-
15 tial purposes, (ii) not more than twenty percent of the rental income,
16 if any, from the property is from rental for nonresidential purposes and
17 (iii) the property is occupied as a residence in whole or in part by one
18 or more of the owners of the property.
19 (C) To a property owner who owns real property for over two years, the
20 full value of which exceeds [eighty-five thousand dollars] the median
21 full value of residential real property sales within the county where it
22 is located, as determined by the state board of real property services,
23 or the median full value of residential real property in the state, as
24 determined by the state board of real property services, whichever is
25 less.
26 (D) To a tenant if the adjusted rent for the residence exceeds [four]
27 eight hundred [fifty] dollars per month on average.
28 (E) To an individual with respect to whom a deduction under subsection
29 (c) of section one hundred fifty-one of the internal revenue code is
30 allowable to another taxpayer for the taxable year.
31 (F) With respect to a residence that is wholly exempted from real
32 property taxation.
33 (G) To an individual who is not a resident individual of the state for
34 the entire taxable year.
35 (H) Where a household or qualified taxpayer has claimed an earned
36 income tax credit pursuant to this section.
37 (I) To an individual whose household gross income is more than eighty
38 percent of the state median family income.
39 (8) The right to claim a credit or the portion of a credit, where
40 such credit has been divided under this subsection, shall be personal to
41 the qualified taxpayer and shall not survive his or her death, but such
42 right may be exercised on behalf of a claimant by his or her legal guar-
43 dian or attorney in fact during his or her lifetime.
44 (9) Returns. If a qualified taxpayer is not required to file a return
45 pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one of this article, a claim for a
46 credit may be taken on a return filed with the [tax commission] commis-
47 sioner within three years from the time it would have been required that
48 a return be filed pursuant to such section had the qualified taxpayer
49 had a taxable year ending on December thirty-first. Returns under this
50 paragraph shall be in such form as shall be prescribed by the [tax
51 commission] commissioner, which shall make available such forms and
52 instructions for filing such returns.
53 (10) Proof of claim. The [tax commission] commissioner may require a
54 qualified taxpayer to furnish the following information in support of
55 his claim for credit under this subsection: household gross income,
56 rent paid, name and address of owner or managing agent of the property
S. 1601 8 A. 939
1 rented, real property taxes levied or that would have been levied in the
2 absence of an exemption from real property tax pursuant to section four
3 hundred sixty-seven of the real property tax law, the names of members
4 of the household and other qualifying taxpayers occupying the same resi-
5 dence and their identifying numbers including social security numbers,
6 household gross income, size and nature of property claimed as residence
7 and all other information which may be required by the [tax commission]
8 commissioner to determine the credit.
9 (11) Administration. The provisions of this article, including the
10 provisions of section six hundred fifty-three, six hundred fifty-eight,
11 and six hundred fifty-nine and the provisions of part six of this arti-
12 cle relating to procedure and administration, including the judicial
13 review of the decisions of the [tax commission] commissioner, except so
14 much of section six hundred eighty-seven of this article which permits a
15 claim for credit or refund to be filed after the period provided for in
16 paragraph nine of this subsection and except sections six hundred
17 fifty-seven, six hundred eighty-eight and six hundred ninety-six of this
18 article, shall apply to the provisions of this subsection in the same
19 manner and with the same force and effect as if the language of those
20 provisions had been incorporated in full into this subsection and had
21 expressly referred to the credit allowed or returns filed under this
22 subsection, except to the extent that any such provision is either
23 inconsistent with a provision of this subsection or is not relevant to
24 this subsection. As used in such sections and such part, the term
25 "taxpayer" shall include a qualified taxpayer under this subsection and,
26 notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (e) of section six hundred
27 ninety-seven of this article, where a qualified taxpayer has protested
28 the denial of a claim for credit under this subsection and the time to
29 file a petition for redetermination of a deficiency or for refund has
30 not expired, he or she shall, subject to such conditions as may be set
31 by the [tax commission] commissioner, receive such information (A) which
32 is contained in any return filed under this article by a member of his
33 or her household for the taxable year for which the credit is claimed,
34 and (B) which the [tax commission] commissioner finds is relevant and
35 material to the issue of whether such claim was properly denied. The
36 [tax commission] commissioner shall have the authority to promulgate
37 such rules and regulations as may be necessary for the processing,
38 determination and granting of credits and refunds under this subsection.
39 (13) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, the credit
40 allowed under this subsection shall be determined after the determi-
41 nation and application of any other credits permitted under the
42 provisions of this article.
43 (14) The commissioner [of taxation and finance] shall prepare a
44 preliminary written report after July thirty-first and a final written
45 report after December thirty-first of each calendar year, which shall
46 contain statistical information regarding the credits granted on or
47 before such dates under this subsection during such calendar year.
48 Copies of these reports shall be submitted by such commissioner to the
49 governor, the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the
50 assembly, the chairman of the senate finance committee and the chairman
51 of the assembly ways and means committee within sixty days of July thir-
52 ty-first with respect to the preliminary report, and within forty-five
53 days of December thirty-first with respect to the final report. Such
