New Mexico Earned Income Tax Credit

New Mexico offers its own EITC on top of the federal credit. New Mexico Working Families Tax Credit — 25% 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.
