According to the information provided on the website, the state budget gives eligible taxpayers a one-time check covering two different payments that are based on the New York State child credit and the earned income credit.
Taxpayers who are qualified to get either of the two credits will, without having to take any action on their part, be sent a check for the complete amount to which they are entitled.
This will occur whether or not they are eligible for either of the two credits. The amount of the check will be determined by the taxpayer’s eligibility for either the New York State earned income credit or the Empire State child credit for the year 2021.
The taxpayer’s income tax return for the state of New York in 2021 can be used to establish the projected amount, although the actual amount may be different due to revisions to the credit amount.
