Montana Earned Income Tax Credit

Montana offers its own EITC on top of the federal credit. Montana EITC — 10% of federal. If you qualify for the federal EITC, you almost certainly qualify for this one too — just make sure to claim it when you file your state return. Most tax-prep software does this automatically.
