Earned income credit in Alaska

Varies

Does Alaska Have an Earned Income Tax Credit?

Short answer: No: Alaska has no income tax, so there's no state EITC to claim. No state individual income tax and no state EITC. With no income tax, Alaska relies more on sales and property taxes; older homeowners get this break: Municipalities must exempt homes of residents 65+, 50%+ disabled veterans, and qualifying surviving spouses 60+.

Claim the federal EITC on Form 1040 (with Schedule EIC if you have qualifying children); state credits go on your state return.

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.
