5. If relevant, for line 3, indicate if your spouse was also an active volunteer firefighter or ambulance worker without having received a real property tax exemption. If both line 2 and line 3 are marked ‘No’, you do not qualify for the credit.
6. Proceed to Part 3 to enter qualifying information. Provide the name of the qualifying volunteer, the volunteer fire company/department or ambulance company, and the address of that organization.
7. In Part 4, determine the credit amount: If you marked ‘Yes’ on either line 2 or line 3, but not both, enter 200. If you marked ‘Yes’ on both, enter 400. Note that you will need to record this credit amount and code 354 on Form IT-201-ATT, line 12.
