Form Ptr1 PDF Details

In 2011, the New Jersey Property Tax Reimbursement Program, often referred to as the "Senior Freeze," put forth significant requirements and deadlines encapsulated in the Form PTR-1. Aimed at providing financial relief to senior citizens and disabled individuals, this program mandated stringent income qualifications, adjusting the threshold to better accommodate the fiscal landscape dictated by the State Budget for the fiscal year 2013. Specifically, for the year 2011, individuals with incomes not surpassing $70,000, a cut from the previous $80,000 limit, were deemed eligible, albeit under the condition they satisfied all other program prerequisites. This adjustment underscored the program's responsiveness to economic shifts while perpetuating its commitment to aiding vulnerable demographics in managing property tax increments. Filing within the stipulated window was crucial, not just for immediate reimbursement eligibility but also for future benefits, highlighting a forward-looking facet of the program’s structure. Additionally, the program tailored its approach to inclusivity, accommodating mobile home owners by acknowledging site fees as property taxes, thereby extending eligibility. With the eligibility spectrum and benefits influenced significantly by annual State Budget determinations, applicants were nudged towards regular engagement with the Division of Taxation's updates. This dynamic intertwining of eligibility criteria, application processes, and the indispensable element of timely filing bespoke a program deeply woven into the fabric of New Jersey's property tax relief efforts.

Changes to Income Eligibility Requirements for

2011 Property Tax Reimbursement (Senior Freeze) Program

Under the terms of the State Budget for fiscal year 2013, only those applicants filing Form PTR-1 whose income for 2010 (their base year) did not exceed $80,000 and whose income for 2011 did not exceed $70,000 (the original limit was $80,000) will be eligible to receive a reimbursement payment for 2011, provided they met all the other program requirements. (See “Qualifications” on page 1 of the Form PTR-1 instruction booklet.)

Residents whose 2011 income was over $70,000 but not over $80,000 will not receive reimbursements for 2011, even if they met all the other program requirements. However, by filing a 2011 Form PTR-1 by the due date, these residents can establish their eligibility for benefits in future years and ensure they will be mailed an application for 2012. Please be aware that the Division of Taxation will send notices to applicants whose 2011 income was over $70,000 but not over $80,000 advising them that they are not eligible to receive reimbursement payments for 2011.

Introduction

The Property Tax Reimbursement Program is designed to reimburse senior citizens and dis- abled persons for property tax increases. For ap- plicants who met all the eligibility requirements for 2010, and again for 2011, the amount of the 2011 reimbursement will be the difference between the amount of property taxes that were due and paid by the applicant for 2010 and the amount of property taxes that were due and paid for 2011, provided, of course, that the amount paid for 2011 was greater than the amount paid for 2010. For mobile home owners, property tax means 18% of the annual site fees paid to the owner of a mobile home park.

Homeowners and mobile home owners who are receiving homestead beneits and/or property tax

credits or deductions may also receive the prop- erty tax reimbursement if they meet the eligibility

requirements. However, the total of all property tax relief beneits that you receive for 2011 (property tax reimbursement, homestead beneit, property tax deduction for senior citizens/disabled persons,

and property tax deduction for veterans) cannot exceed the amount of 2011 property taxes (or rent/

site fees constituting property taxes) paid for your residence.

Impact of State Budget

Eligibility requirements, including income lim- its, and beneits available under this program are subject to change by the State Budget.

Check the Division of Taxation’s Web site at

pletion of the State Budget that must be adopted by July 1, 2012.

If you have a loss in one category of income, it may be applied against income in the same cat- egory. However, if you have a net loss in one category of income, it cannot be applied against income or gains in another. In the case of a net loss in any category, make no entry on that line.

Examples of possible sources of income (gross

amounts unless otherwise noted) are as follows:

Note: Eligibility requirements, including in- come limits, and beneits available un- der this program are subject to change by the State Budget. Check the Division of Taxation’s web site at www.state. nj.us/treasury/taxation/propfrez.shtml or call 1-800-323-4400 for updated information on eligibility and beneit

Under New Jersey law, if you receive a property tax reimbursement that is larger than the amount for which you are eligible, you will be required to repay any excess you received. The amount you owe can be deducted from your property tax reim-

bursement, income tax refund or credit, or home- stead beneit before the payment is issued.

Privacy Act Notification

The Federal Privacy Act of 1974 requires an

agency requesting information from individuals to inform them why the request is being made and how the information is being used.

Your social security number is used primarily to account for and give credit for tax payments. The Division of Taxation also uses social security num- bers in the administration and enforcement of all tax laws for which it is responsible. In addition,

the Division of Taxation is required by law to for- ward an annual list to the Administrative Ofice of

the Courts containing the names, addresses, and social security numbers of individuals who ile a New Jersey tax return or property tax beneit ap-

plication. This list will be used to avoid duplication of names on jury lists.

ner, enter for each year the proportionate share of the property taxes for your percentage of owner- ship listed at Line 11b. The shares of ownership of the property are considered to be held equally by all owners. If the shares of ownership are not equal, enclose a copy of your deed or other documentation with your application showing your

percentage of ownership. For example, you and your sister (who lives in another state) are co-

owners of a home on which you pay all the proper- ty taxes. If the 2011 property taxes totaled $6,000 and the 2010 property taxes totaled $5,000, you

multiple Units. If your home consisted of more than one unit, enter for each year the proportion- ate share of the property taxes for the unit you oc- cupied as your principal residence. For example, if the 2011 property taxes for your four-unit property totaled $4,000 and the 2010 property taxes totaled

$3,800 and you indicated at Line 12b that you occupied 25% of the property (one unit), you must enter $1,000 ($4,000 25%) on Line 13 and $950 ($3,800 25%) on Line 14. You are only eligible

for a proportionate share of the reimbursement based on the portion of the property that you occu- pied as your principal residence, even if you paid all of the property taxes.

multi-Unit Property with multiple owners. If you answered “Yes” at both Lines 11a and 12a for

2010 or 2011, use the percentage of occupancy on Line 12b to calculate your proportionate share of property taxes.

moBIle Home ownerS

principal residence in New Jersey for 2011 on

Line 13, and for 2010 on Line 14. (For mobile home owners, property taxes are 18% of the an- nual site fees due and paid to the owner of the mobile home park.) If you lived with someone

(other than your spouse/civil union partner) and shared the site fees with them, use the percentage

entered on Line 11b to calculate the proportion- ate share of the site fees paid by you (and your spouse/civil union partner). Multiply the amount of site fees for each year by 18% (0.18) and en-

ter the result in the boxes at Lines 13 and 14. If you enclose Form PTR-1B, you must enter on Lines 13 and 14 the property tax amounts for 2010 and 2011 from Part III, Line 6.

deduction for veterans) cannot exceed the total

amount of property taxes or rent/site fees consti-

tuting property taxes paid for 2011 on your prin- cipal residence in New Jersey. (For this purpose, 18% of rent/site fees paid during the year is con-

sidered property taxes.) This limitation may affect the amount of your property tax reimbursement.
