Random question because this was the first time I filed. Why are we just now filing for 2019? Is there that much of a gap?

The benefit and income limits are much higher for 2019 because of Covid money from the federal government.

Most likely you wouldn’t have qualified in previous years, plus the benefit would have been much lower

That I get I was more asking why are we filing 2019 in 2022? I assumed it was like taxes where your filing for the previous year or has there always been like a 2-3 year gap in filing years?

I’m glad I’m not the only one wondering.

I think this replaces the Homestead Benefit Act which ended at 2018. So the next year would be 2019. NJ Homestead Benefit. It actually mentions it there.

Would like to know too! I didn’t file because all the dates on the paper were completely off, my mother is a windower since 2022 and none of these dates made sense.
