According to the Newsletter:
Tenants who meet the eligibility requirements for the Homestead Rebate Program should "use the application in the New Jersey income tax booklet, Form TR-1040, to apply for the homestead rebate for tenants."
On the other hand, Homeowners who meet the eligibility requirements for the Homestead Rebate Program should "not use the application in the income tax booklet. Applications for the homeowner rebate are expected to be mailed at the end of April, and homeowners will apply either online or by phone."
