Assemblyman Cusick is reminding parents to apply for the tax credit when filing their state income taxes this year. | ||
Who can apply for the Empire State Child Tax Credit?
Because Assemblyman Cusick knows the high costs of child care and other household expenses are squeezing middle-class families, he will fight to increase the Empire State Child Tax Credit to $1,000 and apply it to everyone with a child under 17. Governor Spitzer’s proposed budget contains the middle-class STAR program, targeting relief to those who need it most. According to the governor, Richmond County homeowners see a current STAR savings of $212. Under the proposed middle-class STAR program, those earning under $80,000 will see an average savings of $382. The tax cut also provides an increased Personal Income Tax benefit of $70 for married individuals filing joint returns and $35 for all others.
