Deadline extended for Property Tax/Rent Rebate
I write to let you know that the deadline for filing your 2010 Property Tax/Rent Rebate application (PTRR) has been extended to Dec. 31, 2011.
This program provides a rebate of up to $650 on property taxes or rent paid in 2010 to income-eligible residents who are 65 or older, 50 or older and widowed, or 18 or older with a permanent disability.
I caution you that there have been some businesses offering to assist you with your PTRR application for a fee.
You do not have to pay for assistance with your PTRR applications; my office is happy to help you for free. Just call us at 412-571-2169 or contact the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue toll free at 1-888-222-9190.
My office also has PTRR application forms available.
For individuals who have already filed your PTRR, checks begin going out July 1st on a first-come basis. You can check the status of a rebate claim by visiting the program website or by calling 1-888-PATAXES. We can also help you apply and check on the status of your rebate once you file. (Please allow 8-10 weeks for processing).
Please feel free to pass this information on to anyone you know who may find it useful.
Best regards,
