Q: I am just looking for a little assistance with the family child exclusion. Is there other forms I need to complete?
I was approved for the child family exclusion but not sure if I need to complete other forms. And what I need to do to keep my mother's home protected. Also, if there are more forms is there somewhere I can go to get assistance completing the forms
A:
If you've been approved for the family child exclusion, that's a great first step. Typically, after approval, you won’t need additional forms unless the property changes in some way, such as a sale or transfer. To ensure your mother’s home remains protected under the exclusion, it's important to maintain the status of the property and ensure all taxes and documentation stay current.
You may want to double-check with your local tax assessor's office if there are any ongoing requirements to keep the exclusion in place, such as periodic filings. They can provide specific information regarding deadlines or updates needed to retain the benefit.
If you're unsure or need help completing any forms, you can usually find assistance at local government offices or legal aid organizations. Many offer resources or even workshops to help guide you through maintaining the property tax exclusion.
