Follow the steps to successfully complete the NY IT-258 form.

1. Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in your preferred editor.
2. In Part 1, provide the name and address of the New York residential health care facility you are claiming the credit for. If the resident's name is different from yours, enter that as well along with their Social Security number.
3. In Part 2, enter the amount of the 6% base-rate portion of the assessment that you directly paid during the tax year. This amount should be separately stated and accounted for on your billing statements, not the total care expenses.
4. After entering the credit amount, ensure you transfer the line 1 amount and code 258 to Form IT-201-ATT, line 12, or Form IT-203-ATT, line 12, as applicable.
5. Once all the information has been accurately filled out, review your entries for completeness and accuracy.
6. You can now save your changes, download the form, print it, or share it, as needed.
