New York state sends out tax rebate checks
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- Families in New York state should watch the mail for a $350 state tax rebate.
The state is sending rebate checks to New York residents who claimed at least one child under age 17 on their 2012 tax return and whose adjusted gross income is between $40,000 and $300,000.
The checks were mailed out this week and should be delivered within a few days.
Next month the state will send out property tax rebate checks to homeowners in communities whose school districts stayed below the state's new tax cap.
Taxpayers should receive the rebates automatically if they are eligible.
The two rebate programs were approved by lawmakers and Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the past two years.
A spokesman for Cuomo says Friday the rebates represent much-needed tax relief.
