SOURCE: IC 6-1.1-21-5.2; (04)MO100701.6. -->     "SECTION 6. IC 6-1.1-21-5.2 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2004]: Sec. 5.2. (a) The following definitions apply throughout this section:
        (1) "Base year" means the most recent calendar year:
            (A) in which an individual qualifies and files for the credit under this section; and
            (B) that is preceded by a calendar year in which the individual did not qualify or file for the credit under this section.
        (2) "Homestead" means an individual's principal place of residence for which the individual receives a homestead credit under IC 6-1.1-20.9.
        (3) "Net property tax bill" means the amount of property taxes due and payable by an individual for a particular calendar year after the application of all deductions and credits, except for the credit allowed under this section, as evidenced by the tax statements prepared and mailed under IC 6-1.1-22-8.
        (4) "Qualifying individual" means an individual:
            (A) who is at least sixty-five (65) years of age on or before December 31 of the calendar year preceding the year in which the credit under this section is claimed; and
            (B) whose adjusted gross income (as defined in IC 6-3-1-3.5), either individually or in combination with the adjusted gross income of:
                (i) the individual's spouse; or
                (ii) any other individual with whom the individual shares ownership of or is purchasing the property under contract as joint tenants or tenants in common;
            for the calendar year preceding the year in which the credit is claimed did not exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).
    (b) Each year a qualifying individual is entitled to receive a credit against the net property tax bill on the individual's homestead. The amount of the credit to which a qualifying individual is entitled equals the difference between:
        (1) the net property tax bill, before the application of the credit under this section, on the individual's homestead for the calendar year for which the credit is being claimed; minus
        (2) the net property tax billed to the individual for that homestead for the individual's base year.
    (c) An individual who desires to claim the credit provided by this section must file a certified statement in duplicate, on forms prescribed by the department of local government finance, with the auditor of the county in which the individual's homestead is located. The statement must be filed during the twelve (12) months before May 11 of the year before the first year for which the person wishes to obtain the credit under this section. The statement must contain the following information:
        (1) The individual's full name and complete address.
        (2) A description of the individual's homestead and the number of years that the individual has resided at that homestead.
        (3) Proof of the individual's age.
        (4) The name of any other county and township in which the individual owns or is buying real property.
        (5) The source and exact amount of gross income received during the preceding calendar year by the individual and any of the following, if applicable:
            (A) The individual's spouse.
            (B) Any other individual with whom the individual shares ownership of or is purchasing the homestead under contract as joint tenants or tenants in common.
        (6) The record number and page where the contract or memorandum of the contract is recorded, if the individual is buying the homestead on contract.
        (7) Any other information requested by the
department of local government finance.
    (d) To substantiate a claim statement, an individual shall submit for inspection by the county auditor a copy of state income tax returns for the preceding calendar year for the following, as applicable:
        (1) The individual.
        (2) The individual's spouse.
        (3) Any other individual with whom the individual shares ownership of or is purchasing the homestead under contract as joint tenants or tenants in common.
If an individual described in this subsection was not required to file a state income tax return, the individual shall state that fact in the claim statement.
    (e) The auditor of a county with whom a statement is filed under this section shall immediately prepare and transmit a copy of the statement to the auditor of any other county if the individual who claims the credit owns or is buying real property located in the other county. The county auditor of the other county shall note on the copy of the statement whether the individual has claimed a credit under this section for a homestead located in the other county. The auditor shall then return the copy to the auditor of the first county.
    (f) Upon receiving a proper credit statement, the county auditor shall allow the credit equally against each installment of property taxes to which the credit applies. The county auditor shall include the amount of the credit applied against each installment of taxes on the tax statement required under IC 6-1.1-22-8.
    (g) After January 31 and before February 15 of each year, each county auditor shall certify to the
department of local government finance the number and amounts of the credits allowed under this section for that calendar year. Upon receiving the certifications, the department of local government finance shall determine the total amount of the credits allowed in each county under this section and shall certify the totals to the department of state revenue at the same time the department of local government finance certifies the total county tax levies. The department of

state revenue shall distribute to each county from the property tax replacement fund the amount of credits certified for that county by the department of local government finance at the same time and in the same manner as the department of state revenue distributes the county's estimated distribution under section 10 of this chapter. Money is annually appropriated from the property tax replacement fund in an amount necessary to make the distributions.".
