Earned income credit in South Dakota

Varies

Does South Dakota Have an Earned Income Tax Credit?

Short answer: No: South Dakota 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, 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).

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.
