It’s that time of year again when roughly 3 million New Yorkers receive some tax relief from the state.
Checks for the STAR program will begin mailing next week. In Central New York, 176,000 residents with incomes below $500,000 will receive between $350 and $600. Most seniors with incomes under $107,000 will get checks ranging from $700 to $1,500.
Some taxpayers have already received their benefits as a tax exemption. In total, New York is returning $2.2 billion in taxes this year. The delivery schedule for your area can be found online.
