Enroll in the STAR Credit Direct Deposit program!
If you received this letter (Form RP-5310-DDO), as a STAR credit recipient, you can now have your credit deposited directly into your bank account. It is the easiest and fastest way to receive your STAR credit.
When you choose direct deposit, you will:
- receive your STAR credit quicker,
- eliminate the hassle of cashing a check, and
- have peace of mind (no lost or undeliverable checks).
To ensure you receive your STAR credit by direct deposit this year, be sure to enroll as soon as possible. If you enroll fewer than 15 days before we issue your STAR credit, or if we cannot deposit using the bank account you provide, you will receive a check this year.
To find out when we will issue STAR credits in your area, use our STAR Credit Delivery Schedule.
