Estimate your check amount

To estimate the amount you'll receive, you'll need information from your 2023 New York State income tax return (Form IT-201). If you don’t have a copy of your return, log in to the software you used to file to view a copy, or request the information from your tax preparer (if you used one).

The actual amount you receive may be different from the amount you estimated if there were any adjustments to the amount of the credit claimed on your return. If we adjusted your credit amount, use the corrected amount in the account adjustment letter (DTF-160) or bill we sent you to estimate your additional payment.

Note: To protect your information, our Contact Center representatives cannot provide amounts from a return you filed.

Locate the amount on line 63 ( Empire State child credit ) of your 2023 return. If line 63 is less than $100, you are not eligible for this additional payment and will not receive a check.

Look for the amount on line 19 of your return.

Find the percentage for your line 19 amount in the chart below: Empire State child credit additional payment computation table If your line 19 amount is your payment based on your 2023 Empire State child credit is equal to or greater than but less than N/A $10,000 100% of the credit amount you received. $10,000 $25,000 75% of the credit amount you received. $25,000 $50,000 50% of the credit amount you received. $50,000 N/A 25% of the credit amount you received.

Multiply the amount on line 63 by the percentage you found in the chart, above, to estimate your payment for this credit.

Example: On Taxpayer A's return, t he line 19 amount is $18,000 and the line 63 amount is $330:

Taxpayer A’s line 19 amount, $18,000, is in the $10,000 to less than $25,000 range in the chart, so their payment is 75% of the amount on line 63. Taxpayer A should multiply $330 by 75% ($330 x 0.75 = $247.50). If Taxpayer A is eligible, their Empire State child credit payment is $247.50.
