The 2024 New York State budget provides for an additional payment to eligible taxpayers based on the Empire State child credit. This means if you qualify, you do not need to take any action. New York will automatically calculate the amount and mail you the payment.
What are the eligibility requirements?
To qualify for the payment, you must've received at least $100 from the 2023 New York State Empire State child credit and filed your 2023 return before the April 15, 2024 deadline, or had a valid extension.
How will I receive the payment?
New York will start mailing checks to eligible taxpayers starting August 2024, and will continue to mail checks as they process returns for the 2023 tax year. If your address has changed, visit the link to the instructions below to update the mailing address.
How much is the payment?
The payment is based on your 2023 Empire State child credit and can be anywhere from 25% to 100% of the value depending on your income.
To estimate your Additional Empire State child credit payments, please use the instructions listed on New York's Department of Taxation and Finance.
