I am hoping you can help me understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Star Credit to public schools. If public schools get their funding via property taxes on the homes & businesses within a district or city, doesn't the Star Credit take money away from those schools and negatively affect the public-school budget?

I just turned sixty fives years old and have been receiving basic star credit in New York City. Can you please tell me which form I have to fill out for the senior enhanced star. Thank you.

This registration is super confusing as it asks for AGI of me and my spouse for each of us but we file jointly so if i enter it in 2 places it makes it look like we make 2X what we do.

I said the same thing to my wife! I'm going to ask our accountant before we register. Very unclear.
