Parents: Maximize Your Refund with Child Tax Credits

Families in Port Washington and throughout Nassau County may qualify for a larger refund thanks to available tax credits for children and dependents. The Child Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit, and education credits may reduce federal tax when eligibility requirements are met. Contributions to a 529 plan are not deductible on a federal return. However, eligible New York taxpayers who own and contribute to a New York 529 account may qualify for a New York subtraction of up to $5,000, or up to $10,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly, subject to the state rules.

Many parents are unsure whether they qualify or how to properly claim these credits. Income limits, custody arrangements, filing status, and how 529 plans are used can all affect eligibility. Mistakes may delay your refund or result in missed benefits. We help families understand which credits apply to their situation and ensure that dependents, childcare expenses, education costs, and 529 plan activity are reported accurately.

If you would like to maximize your refund or need guidance with dependents, childcare costs, 529 plans, or education-related tax credits, we are here to help. Our team carefully reviews your documents and explains how these benefits affect your return so you can file with confidence.
