Maryland Tax Credit
Maryland notice for the 2024 tax year
You may be entitled to claim an EITC on your 2024 federal and Maryland resident income tax returns. Please review the notice linked above. If you meet the income eligibility, you should go to the Internal Revenue Service Website at www.irs.gov, or contact a tax advisor, to see if you meet the other federal criteria. If you are eligible for the federal credit you are eligible for the Maryland credit. Married employees or employees with qualifying children may qualify for up to half of the federal earned income credit. Employees without a qualifying child may qualify for the full amount of the federal credit. Employees who would otherwise qualify for the federal credit but for federal requirements excluded from Maryland law may claim the state earned income credit by calculating the federal earned income credit disregarding those requirements. There is no minimum age requirement for taxpayers without a qualifying child, nor must taxpayers have a social security number to qualify for the Maryland credit. Additionally, certain employees may also qualify for a refundable Maryland credit or a local EITC.
