The state is sending rebate checks to New York residents who claimed at least one child under age 17 on their 2012 tax return and whose adjusted gross income is between $40,000 and $300,000.
The checks were mailed out this week and should be delivered within a few days.
Next month the state will send out property tax rebate checks to homeowners in communities whose school districts stayed below the state’s new tax cap.
Taxpayers should receive the rebates automatically if they are eligible.
The two rebate programs were approved by lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the past two years.
A spokesman for Cuomo says Friday the rebates represent much-needed tax relief.
yes because families pulling in $300k a year need all the help they can get
What about those of us who have kids over 18 and is going to school/college/bais medrash like mine? How can you compare someone earning $40,000 to someone earning $300,000? Makes no sense whatsoever, and so us middle classers lose again. All of us who have kids in school/ college/bais medrash should be eligible as well. If we were earning $300,000 I don’t think I would need the $350. But being that we don’t, that money could help pay for bus transportation for my college 21 year old. How about giving us a break too? For those of us who pay our taxes. But illegal aliens can get free passes to museums, the Bronx Zoo etc. No sense of priorities here whether they are state or city or federal. Like I said to my mother today when she asked me who I am voting for, I told her I don’t know, they’re all no good. These people running for offices are all politicians–there are no more statesmen. Very few of these people run for love of country/city/state. They run for glory, fame and fortune. Shame on them all.
350 dollars will get u a bottle of milk and some nosh today’s days
I don’t earn $300,000 a year. I earn a combined income of about $120,000. In 2012, I still had 3 kids in yeshiva and paid tuition around $30,000. I got my $350. Big woop.
