When asking about real property tax relief credit, it ask about rent received being less then 20%. i did not receive any rental income. how do i answer the question?

i lived in my Star exempted home for the whole 2023 yr and i paid property taxes on my property.

Answer "Yes", since you received NO RENTAL INCOME and that would be LESS THAN 20%.

It is one of the requirements of the credit.

"You are entitled to this refundable credit if you meet all of the following requirements for the tax year:

you are subject to tax under Tax Law Article 22,
you were a New York State resident for all of the tax year,
your qualified gross income is $250,000 or less,
you owned and primarily resided for six months or more of the tax year in real property that received the STAR exemption or that qualified you for the STAR credit,
any rent you received from nonresidential use of your residence was 20% or less of the rental income, and
you are the one that paid real property taxes on the property fully or partially."
