TSD 411 Senior Citizen Tax Credit This publication provides general information and is not meant to be a substitute for tax laws or regulations. Senior citizens eligible for the Homestead Exemption Program through their county Assessor’s Office may be entitled to a refundable income tax credit. In January, Senior Citizens who receive the Homestead Exemption will receive a packet of information about how to claim the refund, if eligible, along with form SCTC-A. To qualify for the refund, an eligible senior citizen must have paid their property tax in excess of the Homestead Exemption, meet low income requirements and file West Virginia personal income tax. The eligible persons’ federal adjusted gross income and the number of persons in the home determine eligibility. If an eligible senior citizen is not required to file federal income tax, the income used to determine eligibility will include wages, interest and dividend income, alimony received, certain pensions and annuities, unemployment compensation, gambling winnings, and farm income, amongst other income. The income does not include any social security income. The SCTC-A has an income worksheet. In the following chart, find the applicable tax year and number of persons in the senior’s household. The senior citizen’s income, as explained above, must be the same or less than that on the chart to qualify for the Senior Citizen Tax Credit. Each year the poverty guidelines are adjusted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 2023 Low-Income Guidelines Household Size SCTC Max Income 1 $21,870 2 $29,580 3 $37,290 For each additional person, add: $7,710 2022 Low-Income Guidelines Household Size SCTC Max Income 1 $20,385 2 $27,465 3 $34,545 For each additional person, add: $7,080 If you meet the income requirement, you must file West Virginia personal income tax (form IT-140) and form SCTC-A to claim the refund.

West Virginia usually releases forms for the current tax year between January and April. We last updated West Virginia Publication TSD-411 from the Department of Revenue in February 2024.
Publication TSD-411 is a West Virginia Individual Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.
About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
