How can I tell if I am receiving the Homestead Deduction?
Check your last real property tax bill. If your bill does not show a deduction for the Homestead Program and you qualify for the deduction, contact the Office of Tax and Revenue at (202) 727-4TAX, and ask to speak with someone in the Homestead Section. You probably are eligible for the homestead deduction if you are subject to D.C. income taxes and you occupy the property for which the deduction is sought.
