DISTRIBUTION: Original - County Auditor: File-Stamped Copy — Taxpayer INSTRUCTIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS • Applications must be filed during the specified periods. Once the application is in effect, no other filing is necessary unless there is a change in the status of the property or applicant that would affect the applicable credit. • This application may be filed in person or by mail. If mailed, the mailing must be postmarked on or before the last day of filing. • Any person who willfully makes a false statement of the facts in applying for these credits is guilty of the crime of perjury and on the conviction thereof will be punished in the manner provided by law. • Being absent from the property while in a nursing home or hospital will not prevent a person from receiving these benefits. • The applicant must have been the owner or contract buyer of the property for at least one year prior to claiming the credit and must own the property or is buying the property under contract on the date the credit is claimed. The contract must be recorded and provide that the applicant is to pay the property taxes. BENEFITS • For the Over 65 Credit, the credit amount equals $150. However, where an applicant owns or is buying the property with joint tenants or tenants in common and not all the tenants are at least sixty-five (65) years of age, the credit is to be reduced by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the number of tenants who are not sixty-five (65) years of age, and the denominator is the total number of tenants. This reduction does not apply if the property is owned only by the applicant and the applicant's spouse. • For the Over 65 Circuit Breaker Credit, the credit equals the tax liability minus the product of tax liability for the preceding year multiplied by 1.02.

(E.g., to receive either credit for Pay 26, the individual's 2024 AGI must have been below the applicable threshold.) • Income amounts for the Over 65 Circuit Breaker Credit are adjusted annually by an amount equal to the percentage cost of living increase,applied for Social Security benefits for the immediately preceding calendar year.
