Section 1. Subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 4 of
section 425 of the real property tax law, as amended by section 1 of
part B of chapter 59 of the laws of 2018, is amended to read as follows:
(ii) The term "income" as used herein shall mean the "adjusted gross
income" for federal income tax purposes as reported on the applicant's
federal or state income tax return for the applicable income tax year,
subject to any subsequent amendments or revisions, reduced by distrib-
utions, to the extent included in federal adjusted gross income,
received from an individual retirement account and an individual retire-
ment annuity AND AN EMPLOYER SPONSORED RETIREMENT PLAN; provided that if
no such return was filed for the applicable income tax year, "income"
shall mean the adjusted gross income that would have been so reported if
such a return had been filed. Provided further, that effective with
exemption applications for final assessment rolls to be completed in two
thousand nineteen, where an income-eligibility determination is wholly
or partly based upon the income of one or more individuals who did not
file a return for the applicable income tax year, then in order for the
application to be considered complete, each such individual must file a
statement with the department showing the source or sources of his or
her income for that income tax year, and the amount or amounts thereof,
that would have been reported on such a return if one had been filed.
Such statement shall be filed at such time, and in such form and manner,
as may be prescribed by the department, and shall be subject to the
secrecy provisions of the tax law to the same extent that a personal
income tax return would be. The department shall make such forms and
