Child tax credit in South Dakota

Varies

Does South Dakota Have a Child Tax Credit?

Short answer: No: South Dakota has no income tax, so there's no state child tax credit. No state individual income tax, so no state child or dependent care credits. With no income tax, South Dakota relies more on sales and property taxes; older homeowners get this break: Assessment freeze for 65+ or disabled owners with income under $56,595 single or $66,885 multi-member (2026).

No state individual income tax, so 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.
