Minnesota residents may be eligible for a maximum of $2,100 in child tax credit by 2023.
Minnesota Residents Could Qualify for Tax Rebate in 2023
Attention, Minnesota residents! If you file your 2023 tax returns, you might be eligible for a fantastic rebate through the Child and Dependent Care Credit program. This program aims to “offset certain care expenses” for those who qualify. The best part? The credit is refundable, meaning you could receive a refund even if you don’t owe any income tax. How amazing is that?
Who Can Qualify?
To qualify for this incredible opportunity, you must be a Minnesota resident (or filing a joint return with your spouse) and have a documented income. You’ll also need to provide proof of expenses paid for child care, care for a qualifying person, or household services. It’s important to note that certain factors come into play, such as your filing status, the length of time the qualifying person lived with you, and your federal adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2022.
What is a Qualifying Person?
A qualifying person or dependent, as defined by the IRS, can be a child under the age of 13, a spouse who is physically or mentally unable to care for themselves, or someone who is unable to care for themselves due to physical or mental limitations. For more specific details, you can refer to the IRS Publication 503.
How Much Can You Receive?
The amount of credit you can receive depends on your federal AGI and the number of qualifying dependents you have. If you have one qualifying dependent and your federal AGI is less than $55,300, you can receive a maximum credit of $1,050. For those with two qualifying dependents and a federal AGI less than $55,300, the maximum credit is $2,100.
If your federal AGI falls between $55,300 and $67,300 and you have one qualifying dependent, you can receive a maximum credit of $600 minus 5% of your federal AGI exceeding $55,300. Unfortunately, if your federal AGI is over $67,300, you won’t qualify for this credit.
What Expenses Qualify?
Expenses that may qualify for the credit include payments made for the care of a qualifying person, allowing you or your spouse to work or search for work. Household services that enable you or your spouse to work or search for work may also be eligible. However, keep in mind that expenses such as food, clothing, education, and entertainment do not qualify. Additionally, payments made by another person or a government agency on your behalf are not eligible.
Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity! Claim your credits when you file your 2023 income tax returns. Remember, the deadline to file is April 15, 2024. Start gathering your documentation and get ready to receive that well-deserved rebate!
