STAR credits are on the way!

The STAR program offers property tax relief to eligible New York State homeowners. To find out when we'll issue checks and direct deposits for your area, use our STAR Credit Delivery Schedule lookup. 

See delivery schedule

Important: Our Contact Center representatives cannot provide a specific delivery date. You may receive your check or deposit before or after your neighbor or family member. To see whether we've already issued your STAR credit, or to see prior years' credits, use our Property Tax Credit Lookup tool.

Please note, if you're receiving the STAR exemption on your school property tax bill, you won’t receive a STAR check or direct deposit. 

For more information about STAR, including how to register, visit our STAR resource center. For the latest on property tax and news for homeowners, subscribe to Tax Tips for Property Owners.

Benefit from good recordkeeping

Whether you’ve already filed or are keeping track of documentation for next year, our recordkeeping pages are a great resource.

Good records help you determine which credits and deductions you qualify for, and serve as documentation if we need to verify information on your return.

Have you filed your 2022 tax return? You may be entitled to a refund

If you haven’t filed a 2022 income tax return, you may still be entitled to a refund. Generally, the right to claim and receive a refund for tax year 2022 expires April 20, 2026.

If you’re entitled to a refund, in most cases you must file your 2022 income tax return on or before April 20, 2026. If you don’t file by that date, you may lose any refund you could be entitled to for that tax year.
