Does Hawaii Have an Earned Income Tax Credit?
Short answer: Yes: Hawaii offers the Hawaii Earned Income Tax Credit, 40% of the federal EITC (tax years 2023–2027) (refundable). Must claim the federal EITC and use the same filing status and dependents on the Hawaii return. Prorated for part-year residents and nonresidents. Must be claimed within 12 months after the end of the tax year (Form N-356).
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.
