Child tax credit in New Hampshire

Varies

Does New Hampshire Have a Child Tax Credit?

Short answer: No: New Hampshire has no income tax, so there's no state child tax credit. No tax on wages or salaries; the Interest and Dividends Tax was repealed starting 2025. No state child or dependent care credits. With no income tax, New Hampshire relies more on sales and property taxes; older homeowners get this break: Low and Moderate Income Homeowners Relief refunds part of the state education tax; income up to $37,000 single, $47,000 married.

No tax on wages or salaries; the Interest and Dividends Tax was repealed starting 2025. No state child or dependent care credits. The federal child tax credit is $2,200 per child under 17 for 2026 and is claimed on Form 1040 regardless of state.

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
