- Earned Income Credits (EIC) Advance Payment - The EIC Advance Payment allows an eligible worker to get part of his/her Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) payments over the course of the year in his/her paycheck. There is no Advance EIC for the State tax credit.
- New York State Noncustodial Parent Earned Income Tax Credit - This Earned Income Tax Credit is just one of a number of New York State initiatives to address the needs of young, low-income working fathers in an attempt to help them become more involved in the economic and social well-being of their children.
- Child Tax Credits - The Federal Child Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit are tax benefits offered by the federal government for taxpayers raising dependent children under the age of 17. New York’s Empire State Child Tax Credit is a refundable credit for full-year New York State residents with children who qualify for the Federal Child Tax Credit and are at least four years of age.
- Child and Dependent Care Tax Credits - The Federal Child and Dependent Care Credit is a tax benefit offered by the federal government. New York State and New York City also offer a Child and Dependent Care Credit that helps more low-income families because, unlike the federal credit, it is refundable.
