2007 Homestead Rebate Program
bookmark this page

Deadline for filing homestead rebate applications is August 15, 2008.

The Homestead Rebate Program provides rebates for homeowners and tenants who occupied their principal residence in New Jersey on October 1, paid property taxes on that dwelling either directly or through rent, and whose gross income for the entire year does not exceed certain limits.

Only New Jersey residents who were either homeowners or tenants on October 1, 2007, are eligible for a 2007 homestead rebate. Homeowners and tenants file different applications according to their status on October 1:

• Tenant: If you were a tenant on October 1, 2007, file a Form TR-1040, tenant homestead rebate application, contained in the 2007 resident income tax return booklet. More information for tenants.

• Homeowner: If you were a homeowner on October 1, 2007, a 2007 homestead rebate application will be mailed to you. Homeowners do not file Form TR-1040, doing so will delay the payment of your homestead rebate. More information for homeowners.

If you were neither a homeowner nor a tenant on October 1, 2007, you are not eligible for a 2007 homestead rebate, even if you owned a home or rented a qualified dwelling for part of the year.
