Sen. Keenan Coming to Braintree to Promote Tax Relief for Seniors

The 2012 Circuit Breaker tax credit program provides tax credits of up to $1,000 for eligible senior citizens over the age of 65.

Sen. John F. Keenan will hold a series of informational sessions for senior citizens about the state’s Senior Circuit Breaker property tax credit program.

The 2012 Circuit Breaker tax credit program provides tax credits of up to $1,000 for eligible senior citizens over the age of 65. To qualify, seniors have to meet certain income thresholds and pay more than 10% of their annual income in property taxes. Tax breaks are also available to seniors who rent.

At the scheduled sessions, Sen. Keenan will provide a detailed explanation of the tax programs available to seniors and answer any questions they may have about the tax credit. Residents unable to attend a session in their own community are welcome to attend one of the other scheduled sessions.

Anyone looking for more information can contact Ruth Dollarhide, Sen. Keenan’s
Constituent Services Director, at 617-722-1494.
