New Jersey Homestead Rebate Question

Oct 17, 2007 1 Replies

My GF and I own our condo Jointly. The NJ rebate claim form had both of our names preprinted on it. I filed it via phone but erroneously (just pressed a number too fast) answered the question "Do YOU--note again we had both of our names preprinted as owners--own the property with someone who is not your spouse?" I erroneously pressed the button for "No" and finished the rest of the Claim via Phone. I of course want to correct this error IF I have inadvertently (by pressing no --m y GF and I are not married) submitted incorrect information which will result in either too large OR too small a rebate. If it would come out the same amount wise I will take no action. Do joint owners who are married get larger/smaller/same homestead rebateamount as joint owners who are not? The rest of the Form seems geared to only ONE person's claim (i.e.,asking for the amount of NJ Income entered on "my" return, etc.). She did not file a separate claim for the rebate. We are splitting the check inter se but I do not want to get too much or too little. If I'm off is there a way to "amend" the phone claim? Goofy questions I know but thanks for any help or links to where I can get my questions answered before contacting the State..

Use this link for complete info on the "Homestead Rebate" on the middle left of the page. Over to the left of that, there are contact numbers. Mouse that link to find the best way to make contact and how to resolve the problem. It could be that there would be no difference in the refund amount but that would depend on the incomes involved.
