How do I indicate that the taxpayer is eligible for the NJ - New Jersey Earned Income Tax Credit (NJEITC)?
Generally, New Jersey Earned Income Tax Credit (NJEITC) follows federal EIC requirements and is calculated as 40% of the federal EIC amount.
Age Exception
NJ has an exception for taxpayers who would qualify for federal EIC except for the age requirement. If a taxpayer meets all of the other requirements except for age, you can indicate this by going to NJ > screen 2 > line 58 and checking the box:
This will calculate $224 for the NJ EIC.
For more information, see the NJ Instructions for line 58.
