The Working Families Tax Credit amount is dependent on the income level and number of qualifying children an applicant can claim. The maximum number of children that an applicant can claim is three. The minimum refund for eligible applicants is $50, regardless of the number of qualifying children. The actual amount received varies depending on income and qualifying children. Not all applicants will qualify.
Due to the record number of applications received, processing times currently exceed 90 days. To increase capacity, our phone center hours are modified on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to noon starting Oct. 1. During those afternoons, agents will focus solely on processing applications and issuing refunds as quickly as possible.
