Deadline Approaches for South Dakota Tax Refund Program for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities
KXLG – South Dakota — South Dakota’s seniors and individuals with disabilities are reminded that the deadline to apply for the state’s Tax Refund Program is rapidly approaching. Eligible residents have until July 1, 2025, to apply for sales or property tax refunds for the previous year.
The Tax Refund Program offers two types of refunds—sales tax and property tax—allowing applicants to receive whichever refund yields a greater benefit. Importantly, applicants can only choose one refund; they cannot receive both. The Tax Refund Office will evaluate applications to determine the larger of the two amounts.
Sales Tax Refund Eligibility:
To qualify for a sales tax refund, applicants must:
- Be South Dakota residents for the entire 2024 calendar year.
- Be 65 years of age or older as of January 1, 2024, or classified as disabled at any point in 2024.
- Live alone with an annual income of $16,566 or less, or be part of a household with a combined income of $22,484 or less.
Property Tax Refund Eligibility:
Eligibility for a property tax refund requires applicants to meet similar criteria, with the added requirement of having owned their primary residence for at least three years or being a resident of South Dakota for five or more years.
Applications can be submitted online at the South Dakota Department of Revenue’s website or mailed to the Tax Refund Office in Pierre. Those who qualified for the tax refund in 2024 will automatically receive an application by mail.
For more information or assistance with the application process, residents can contact the South Dakota Department of Revenue at 1-800-829-9188 (Option 1). Seniors and disabled individuals are encouraged to review eligibility requirements and apply before the July 1, 2025, deadline.
