The term "gross household income" as used in this section means the gross amount of income of every type, regardless of the source, received by all persons occupying the same household, whether such income was taxable or nontaxable for federal or state income tax purposes, including pensions, annuities, federal Social Security, unemployment payments, public assistance payments, alimony, support money, workers' compensation, loss-of-time insurance payments, capital gains and any other type of income received, and excluding gifts. The term "gross household income" shall not include any veterans' disability compensation payments or the amount of any federal stimulus or relief payments related to the COVID-19 virus. The term "head of household" as used in this section means a person who as owner or joint owner maintains a home and furnishes support for the home, furnishings, and other material necessities.C. The application for the additional homestead exemption shall be made each year on or before March 15 or within thirty (30) days from and after receipt by the taxpayer of notice of valuation increase, whichever is later, and upon the form prescribed by the Oklahoma Tax Commission, which shall require the taxpayer to certify as to the amount of gross income. Upon request of the county assessor, the Oklahoma Tax Commission shall assist in verifying the correctness of the amount of the gross income.D. For persons sixty-five (65) years of age or older as of March 15 and who have previously qualified for the additional homestead exemption, no annual application shall be required in order to receive the exemption provided by this section; however, any person whose gross household income in any calendar year exceeds the amount specified in this section in order to qualify for the additional homestead exemption shall notify the county assessor and the additional exemption shall not be allowed for the applicable year. Any executor or administrator of an estate within which is included a homestead property exempt pursuant to the provisions of this section shall notify the county assessor of the change in status of the homestead property if such property is not the homestead of a person who would be eligible for the exemption provided by this section.Okla.
