property tax rebates should be declared as "other income" (form 1040,
line 21), but only if you deducted the tax last year.  i conducted a
poll last year at this time; about half the respondents indicated that
they cheat, i.e., do not declare the rebate as income.  some people
deduct the rebate from this year's property tax; this is technically
wrong, but has the same effect (except in pathological examples).
