S. 1601--A 2 A. 939--A
1 Such terms shall not include a tenant, subtenant, roomer or boarder who
2 is not related to the qualified taxpayer in any degree specified in
3 [subparagraphs (A)] paragraphs one through [(G)] eight of [paragraph two
4 of] subsection [(d)] (a) of section one hundred fifty-two of the inter-
5 nal revenue code. Provided, however, no person may be a member of more
6 than one household at one time.
7 [(c)] (C) "Household gross income" means the aggregate adjusted gross
8 income of all members of the household for the taxable year as reported
9 for federal income tax purposes, or which would be reported as adjusted
10 gross income if a federal income tax return were required to be filed,
11 with the modifications in subsection (b) of section six hundred twelve
12 but without the modifications in subsection (c) of such section, plus
13 any portion of the gain from the sale or exchange of property otherwise
14 excluded from such amount; earned income from sources without the United
15 States excludable from federal gross income by section nine hundred
16 eleven of the internal revenue code; support money not included in
17 adjusted gross income; nontaxable strike benefits; supplemental security
18 income payments; the gross amount of any pension or annuity benefits to
19 the extent not included in such adjusted gross income (including, but
20 not limited to, railroad retirement benefits and all payments received
21 under the federal social security act and veterans' disability
22 pensions); nontaxable interest received from the state of New York, its
23 agencies, instrumentalities, public corporations, or political subdivi-
24 sions (including a public corporation created pursuant to agreement or
25 compact with another state or Canada); workers' compensation; the gross
26 amount of "loss-of-time" insurance; and the amount of cash public
27 assistance and relief, other than medical assistance for the needy, paid
28 to or for the benefit of the qualified taxpayer or members of his house-
29 hold. Household gross income shall not include surplus foods or other
30 relief in kind or payments made to individuals because of their status
31 as victims of Nazi persecution as defined in P.L. 103-286. Provided,
32 further, household gross income shall only include all such income
33 received by all members of the household while members of such house-
34 hold.
35 (D) "Residence" means a dwelling in this state, whether owned or
36 rented, and so much of the land abutting it, not exceeding one acre, as
37 is reasonably necessary for use of the dwelling as a home, and may
38 consist of a part of a multi-dwelling or multi-purpose building includ-
39 ing a cooperative or condominium, and rental units within a single
40 dwelling. Residence includes a trailer or mobile home, used exclusively
41 for residential purposes and defined as real property pursuant to para-
42 graph (g) of subdivision twelve of section one hundred two of the real
43 property tax law.
44 (E) "Qualifying real property taxes" means all real property taxes,
45 special ad valorem levies and special assessments, exclusive of penal-
46 ties and interest, levied on the residence of a qualified taxpayer and
47 paid during the taxable year less the credit claimed under the former
48 subsection (n-1) of this section. In addition, for taxable years begin-
49 ning after December thirty-first, nineteen hundred eighty-four, a quali-
50 fied taxpayer may elect to include any additional amount that would have
51 been levied in the absence of an exemption from real property taxation
52 pursuant to section four hundred sixty-seven of the real property tax
53 law. If tenant-stockholders in a cooperative housing corporation have
54 met the requirements of section two hundred sixteen of the internal
55 revenue code by which they are allowed a deduction for real estate
56 taxes, the amount of taxes so allowable, or which would be allowable if
S. 1601--A 3 A. 939--A
1 the taxpayer had filed returns on a cash basis, shall be qualifying real
2 property taxes. If a residence is owned by two or more individuals as
3 joint tenants or tenants in common, and one or more than one individual
4 is not a member of the household, qualifying real property taxes is that
5 part of such taxes on the residence which reflects the ownership
6 percentage of the qualified taxpayer and members of his household. If a
7 residence is an integral part of a larger unit, qualifying real property
8 taxes shall be limited to that amount of such taxes paid as may be
9 reasonably apportioned to such residence. If a household owns and occu-
10 pies two or more residences during different periods in the same taxable
11 year, qualifying real property taxes shall be the sum of the prorated
12 qualifying real property taxes attributable to the household during the
13 periods such household occupies each of such residences. If the house-
14 hold owns and occupies a residence for part of the taxable year and
15 rents a residence for part of the same taxable year, it may include both
16 the proration of qualifying real property taxes on the residence owned
17 and the real property tax equivalent with respect to the months the
18 residence is rented. Provided, however, for purposes of the credit
19 allowed under this subsection, qualifying real property taxes may be
20 included by a qualified taxpayer only to the extent that such taxpayer
21 or the spouse of such taxpayer occupying such residence for six months
22 or more of the taxable year owns or has owned the residence and paid
23 such taxes.
24 (F) "Real property tax equivalent" means twenty-five percent of the
25 adjusted rent actually paid in the taxable year by a household solely
26 for the right of occupancy of its New York residence for the taxable
27 year. If (i) a residence is rented to two or more individuals as coten-
28 ants, or such individuals share in the payment of a single rent for the
29 right of occupancy of such residence, and (ii) each of such individuals
30 is a member of a different household, one or more of which individuals
31 shares such residence, real property tax equivalent is that portion of
32 twenty-five percent of the adjusted rent paid in the taxable year which
33 reflects that portion of the rent attributable to the qualified taxpayer
34 and the members of his household.
35 (G) "Adjusted rent" means rental paid for the right of occupancy of a
36 residence, excluding charges for heat, gas, electricity, furnishings and
37 board. Where charges for heat, gas, electricity, furnishing or board
38 are included in rental but where such charges and the amount thereof are
39 not separately set forth in a written rental agreement, for purposes of
40 determining adjusted rent the qualified taxpayer shall reduce rental
41 paid as follows:
42 (i) For heat, or heat and gas, deduct fifteen percent of rental paid.
43 (ii) For heat, gas and electricity, deduct twenty percent of rental
44 paid.
45 (iii) For heat, gas, electricity and furnishings, deduct twenty-five
46 percent of rental paid.
47 (iv) For heat, gas, electricity, furnishings and board, deduct fifty
48 percent of rental paid.
49 If the [tax commission] commissioner determines that the adjusted rent
50 shown on the return is excessive, the [tax commission] commissioner may
51 reduce such rent, for purposes of the computation of the credit, to an
52 amount substantially equivalent to rent for a comparable accommodation.
53 (2) A qualified taxpayer shall be allowed a credit as provided in
54 paragraph three hereof against the taxes imposed by this article reduced
55 by the credits permitted by this article. If the credit exceeds the tax
56 as so reduced for such year under this article the qualified taxpayer
S. 1601--A 4 A. 939--A
1 may receive, and the comptroller, subject to a certificate of the [state
2 tax commission] commissioner, shall pay as an overpayment, without
3 interest, any excess between such tax as so reduced and the amount of
4 the credit. If a qualified taxpayer is not required to file a return
5 pursuant to section six hundred fifty-one of this article, a qualified
6 taxpayer may nevertheless receive and the comptroller, subject to a
7 certificate of the [state tax commission] commissioner, shall pay as an
8 overpayment the full amount of the credit, without interest.
9 (3) Determination of credit. (A) For qualified taxpayers who have
10 attained the age of sixty-five years or a permanent and total disability
11 as defined in section twenty-two of the internal revenue code before the
12 beginning of or during the taxable year the amount of the credit allow-
13 able under this subsection shall be fifty percent, or in the case of a
14 qualified taxpayer who has elected to include an additional amount
15 pursuant to subparagraph (E) of paragraph one of this subsection, twen-
16 ty-five percent, of the excess of real property taxes or the excess of
17 real property tax equivalent determined as follows:
18 Excess real property taxes are
19 the excess of real property tax
20 equivalent or the excess of
21 If household gross qualifying real property taxes
22 income for the over the following percentage of
23 taxable year is: household gross income:

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