of $3,000, as provided under C.G.S. § 12-81(17), shall be
entitled to an additional exemption from such tax in an amount up
to $2,000 of such assessed value, provided that the total of such
person's adjusted gross income as determined for purposes of the federal
income tax plus any other income of such person not included in such
adjusted gross income, individually if unmarried or jointly if married,
in the calendar year ending immediately preceding the assessment date
with respect to which such additional exemption is allowed is not

Each such application shall include a copy of such person's federal income tax return or, in the event a return is not filed, such evidence related to income as may be required by the Assessor for the tax year of such person ending immediately prior to the approval of a claim for such additional exemption.
This article shall be effective for the assessment
year of October 1, 1985, and each assessment year thereafter.
