View Vermont Renters Rebate Taxes From 2022 – The state of Vermont is making substantial changes to its Renters Rebate program. These changes will go into effect for the 2021 tax year and the income tax filing season of 2022. The first is a new Landlord Certification form. This will replace the Landlord Certificate form that was previously required to claim the Rebate. The Landlord Certificate is filed through myVTax and must be completed for each rental property.
VERAP rent payments affect renter credit
VERAP will pay rent back, prospective rent and 18 months’ rent. In addition, the program will pay the unpaid rent after April 1, 2020. If you want to use VERAP to pay your back rent, you must apply through the housing program. You will need to fill out both a landlord and tenant application in order to apply.
Upload the court paperwork before you submit the application. The Summons and Complaint are part of the application. It can be uploaded on a computer or a mobile phone. Once you’ve uploaded the documents, submit the application online.
December 31, 2022 is the last day to apply for VERAP assistance. However, if you apply early, you can still get assistance. It will still pay a portion of your rent and can also pay the attorney fees for the landlord. You may be eligible to have your utilities paid if you are eligible.
VERAP rent payments won’t affect your renter credit, but you should not include them in your gross income. VERAP rent payments are not taxable income. However, landlords are liable. The utility provider will also receive a Form 1099. For more information on VERAP, visit the IRS web page.
Additional funding may be available for COVID-19-related sales/revenue loss
If you own a rental property in Vermont, you may qualify to receive additional funds from the state’s COVID-19 recovery program. Pre-applications are required for Vermonters who are interested in the program. Applicants will be notified of the start date and application deadline for additional funding.
The state’s Department of Public Utilities offers resources to help customers affected by COVID-19, including ERAP and RAFT. Those whose utilities are affected by the epidemic may also qualify for the Massachusetts Homeowner Assistance Fund, which provides additional funding to qualified homeowners for utility bills. Homeowners who experience foreclosure within seven days of the storm can also apply for assistance through the Division of Banks.
LRC-140 Landlord Certificate required for landlords

It includes information about the owner, mailing address, physical location, school parcel account number, and number of rental units.

This form must be completed by a landlord for each property. A Landlord must record the SPAN of each property they own in the state. It is found on the property tax bill.
