Working Family Credit

field_block:node:page:body

Note: If you elected to receive advance payments of your Child Tax Credit, you must file an income tax return the following year.

The Minnesota Working Family Credit is a refundable credit for working individuals whose income is below a certain level. (See Minnesota Statutes, section 290.0671.) It is similar to the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

The credit equals 4% of your earned income, up to a maximum credit of $379. The credit is combined with the Child Tax Credit and Credit for Qualifying Older Children on Schedule M1CWFC.
