07 Aug How do I get help with the Stay NJ application?

Q. Who can help with filling the application for the tax relief program?
— Senior

A. It depends on the kind of help you need.

If your questions are basic, you can call the state’s property tax hotline at (888) 238-1233, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

But if you need more help, such as tracking down your income levels, your tax preparer may be able to assist.

You should also contact your local leaders and your library, or your county Office of Aging or Senior Services. Many towns have had sessions to help walk people through the application, as has the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.

To find a site near you, use the VITA Locator Tool or call 800-906-9887.
