New Jersey’s Earned Income Tax Credit (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.

 

Eligible New Jersey taxpayers can receive a substantial refundable credit. For the 2024 tax year, credits reach up to $3,132 for families with three or more dependents. Requirements include NJ residency, a Social Security number, and meeting federal EITC criteria.
