New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
For several years I received STAR. My Co-op has ten units. Last year my apartment along with one other did not received STAR. My income is well below $500,000 and this is my primary residence. This year once again, everyone in my building received their STAR. Because I received it for several years and then stopped getting it the past two years leads me to believe an error has happened. I have reapplied but how do I correct the situation. My building is asking me to pay what would normally be my STAR refund.

Hi,
While I am not a STAR expert, I believe that some categories of STAR recipients have to reapply every year. Also, if your income tax return is reporting a different address, then you may lose the STAR credit because it is assumed that your co-op is not your primary residence.
It sounds like your co-op is assessing the STAR credit. If that is the case then you will likely have to pay that and I don’t think you can go back and correct things with the City & State.
April 1st is the deadline this year for the next TWO years. Be sure to reapply by April 1st.
Good luck!
