Countywide : Deadline for Special Tax Refunds Is Aug. 31
Elderly or disabled homeowners or renters who want to take advantage of California real estate refund programs must file for assistance by Aug. 31, the California Franchise Tax Board announced this week.
To qualify, an applicant must be disabled or older than 62, have earned less than $13,200 in 1988, and have made rent or home mortgage payments last year.
More than 650 assistance centers have been opened to aid taxpayers in filling out and filing the forms, officials said. Their addresses can be obtained by calling (800) 852-5711.
More than 177,000 renters and 46,000 homeowners older than 62 or disabled will receive about $23 million through the state program, officials said.
