Tax presentations planned for seniors and disabled
May 27, 2008
St. Charles County
The St. Charles County Assessor’s Office has scheduled more presentations for seniors and the disabled on the topic of real estate credits and rebates.
Two Missouri programs will be discussed: The Homestead Preservation Credit and the Property Tax Credit.
The Homestead Preservation Credit applies to those who have paid property taxes in 2005, 2006 and 2007 and whose property taxes increased by more than 5 percent in 2007 from 2006. If married, one spouse must be at least 65 and the other spouse must be at least 60 by Jan. 1 of 2008. Also, adjusted gross income must be less than $77,323. The Homestead Preservation Credit Program is also available to those who are 100 percent disabled.
The Property Tax Credit applies to seniors and the disabled whose total income is not more than $25,000 for single filers or $27,000 for joint return filers. This includes Social Security benefits.
