It's tax rebate time!!
People who are 65 or older, or who are disabled, have until the end of 2010 to receive property tax rebates for 2009 if they own their home or rent it. The maximum rebate this year is at least $650. Homeowners can receive a rebate if their income is as much as $35,000, excluding half of Social Security income. Renters are eligible if their income is below $15,000 excluding half of Social Security income. Aside from those 65 and older, and those who are permanently disabled, widows or widowers 50 and older also can apply. For more information go here.
