Deferral act explained for real estate taxes SECT10rj^MPAGEJMPLAINDEALElR^^jRIDAY|JMARCF^M9M BS#D©nM News Q-rl heard that a new law allows senior citizens to be exempt from property taxes. Is this the same as the Circuit Breaker program? A--No. This new law to which you refer is the Senior Citizen Real Estate Tax Deferral Act. It does not exempt senior citizens from property taxes, but allows qualifying seniors to postpone paying property taxes in­ definitely. When the taxpayer dies, a surviving spouse who is 55 or older within six months of the date of death may continue Senior Action: the deferral. Other heirs are responsible for the deferred property taxes plus six percent annual interest. This must be paid within one year of the taxpayer's death. The property cannot be sold until that responsibility has been met. To be eligible under the new Senior Citizen Real Estate Tax Deferral Act, a homeowner must meet all of the following criteria: ...Have an annual hosehold income under $10,000. ...Not have any liens for un­ paid real estate taxes against the property. Doctor Talk: Acne a problem for adolescents Acne is one of the scourges of adolescence (and there are many!). It is a disease of the Hair follicles in the skin, developing varying degrees of bumps, boils, papules, pustules, and deep cysts, sometimes draining. The condition often reaps much emotional havoc on teenagers - who tend to respond : exaggeratedly to various stimuli in those formative years. Today we want to discuss cases wherein 1 'cystic forms ofttSte exist, a long-term oral tetracycline is employed - anld with diligence, there's a measure of success. Sometimes peeling agents, benzyl peroxide, Aberel, Retin-A or vitamin A derivatives are used effectively. Adolescent cuties should concentrate on Acneveer or other waterbase makeup to remain cute! Plastic surgical sandpaper treatment is used less frequently nowadays. There's a relatively new drug called Accutane, and it's providing excitement for some dermatologists trying to wrestle with the deep, chronic forms of acne - which are so difficult to cure! Anyway, if you have bad acne - and you're self-conscious about it - you shouldn't be! It's a naturally occurring disorder your local dermatologist can effectively manage! ...Own and reside in his-her own home for at least the past three consecutive years, (this property cannot be income- producing.) y; ...Be 65 years or older by June 1 of the year in which the deferral is claimed. (To defer 1983 taxes, you must be 65 by June 1. 1984.) Deferral applications must be filed by March 1 of each year. (You must apply by March 1, 1984 to defer 1983 taxes) Contact your county treasurer for ad­ ditional information. Q--I am president of senior citizen organization. Is our group eligible for a sales tax exemption? A-Some senior citizen groups are exempt from state and local sales taxes. It depends on the structure of your group or organization. If your not-for- profit group has no compensated officers or employees, and is organized and operated ex­ clusively for recreational purposes for persons age 55 and older, it will be exempt from sales taxes on purchases of tangible property for the organization's use. For aditional information about the exemption, contact the Illinois Department of Revenue, Legal Division, 1500 South Ninth Street, Springfield 62708. Subcommittee named - • • V il to study waste in state by Cliff Ward Shaw-Free Press News Service State Rep. Jill Zwick (R., Dundee) will co-chair a new legislative subcommittee to study waste in state government study commissions, House Minority Leader Lee Daniels (R., Elmhurst) announced recently at press conferences in Springfield and Chicago. The subcommittee of the Republican Policy Committee will be looking into mismanagement in the 53 study commissions, which have a combined total budget of nearly $15 millipn, Daniels said. Z wick's appointment was made by Policy Committee Chairman Rep. Thomas Ewing (R., Pontiac). Her co-chairman will be Rep. Jim Reilly (R., Jacksonville). Zwick, who has fought for more legislative control over the study commissions for several years, said, "We've come one giant step closer to im­ plementing some significant reforms." A recent series of television reports on the study commission waste also helped prompt ac­ tion, she noted. Illinois govern­ ment supports 53 different study commissions, and spending on study commissions has risen 242 u percent in the past 10 years, : Daniels said. The announcement was timed with the issuance of a preliminary report. It con- •] eluded: there is little legislative j oversight for the commissions, there are abuses of appropriate commission purposes, there is duplication of effort between commissions and legislative committees, and there are no standards for financial management. Zwick said there is little communication between the commissions and legislative committees. The Election Laws Commission, for example, did not offer testimony when the state election laws were revamped in 1980, she said. Some commissions, like the Legislative Reference Bureau, serve a useful purpose, she said, but reform is needed. Zwick's bill on study com­ missions, which she has in­ troduced four straight years, is still alive this year in the house. It seeks to place time limits on the life of commissions.
