Child Tax Credit

The NY State Department of Taxation is urging people and families to look into the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Empire State Child Credit, which has increased. Both apply to income tax returns.

Governor Kathy Hochul announced that over one million low- and moderate-income families in Central New York will receive up to $330 per child in supplemental payments through the Empire State Child Credit program to assist with back-to-school expenses and the cost of living.

Due to expanded eligibility requirements, New Yorkers can receive up to 3 stimulus checks.
