Maryland Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)

When having your return prepared, ask about the Maryland Earned Income Tax Credit.

If you're using tax software to prepare taxes, make sure the platform verifies eligibility. Some platforms don't do this automatically.

What is it?

You earned it! Eligible taxpayers who work and have low to moderate income may qualify for up to $4,000 to reduce their taxes or increase their refund. The tax credit depends on income and family size.

Who qualifies?

Many people miss out on it because they didn't know to ask about it. While everyone who qualifies for the federal EITC also qualifies for the state credit, there's a group of people who qualify for the state credit but may not qualify federally. That includes individuals with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and childless adults aged 18-24.

Seasonal gig workers, young adults, first-time workers, part-time employees, and caregivers may qualify for the Maryland EITC.

The Comptroller has a screening tool to help determine if you qualify for the credit.

Other tax credits

There are also other Maryland tax credits to ask your preparer about, including the Maryland Child Tax Credit (CTC), Child and Dependent Care Credit, and Senior Tax Credit.

Taks Maryland

You must complete your federal return before you file your Maryland tax return.

Si ou te itilize yon patnè pwogram IRS Free File pou deklarasyon federal ou a, patnè ou fè konfyans nan ka ranpli deklarasyon taks leta w la. Nan kèk ka, li enkli, ak nan lòt, gen yon frè. Aprann sa ki enkli pou chak patnè ou fè konfyans.
