NJ Division of Taxation - NJ Earned Income Tax Credit

New Jersey Earned Income Tax Credit

We envision building a New Jersey where everyone can afford life's basic needs.

NJEITC is a cash-back tax credit that puts money back into the pockets of working families and individuals, including the self-employed, who earn low to moderate income.

Do not shortchange yourself. You worked for it, now get it.

New for Tax Year 2021:

The NJEITC is extended to include people 18 years old and over, as well as those over age 65 without dependents, which is projected to help another 90,000 residents.
