 year  immediately subsequent to the income tax year that would otherwise
 be applicable pursuant to clause (C)  of  this  subparagraph,  then  the
 eligibility  of  such  senior  citizen for the enhanced exemption on the
 applicable taxable status date shall be determined based upon his or her
 income for such later income tax year;  provided  that  the  income  tax
 return for such year has been filed with the appropriate state or feder-
 al  agency  and  a  copy  thereof has been filed with the assessor on or
 before the applicable taxable status date,  or  other  documentation  of
 income  eligibility  has  been  filed with the assessor on or before the
