The STAR (School Tax Relief) credit is for homeowners who are applying for their primary residence and have an annual income of $500,000 or less.
The Enhanced STAR credit is for senior citizens who meet a qualifying income level.
Senior citizens who want to apply or reapply for the Enhanced STAR exemption should submit multiple forms to their property tax assessor. Those forms are the Form RP-425-IVP, Supplement to Forms RP-425-E and RP-425-Rnw.
