Utah Earned Income Tax Credit
EITC is a tax benefit for working people who earn lower or moderate incomes. Utah offers a non-refundable state earned income tax credit (EITC) equal to 20% of the federal EITC.
If a family qualifies for a $2,000 federal EITC, they can claim an additional $400 on their state income tax bill. Self-employed workers, gig workers, and contract workers are excluded from the state credit.
| NO. OF CHILD | EITC |
|---|---|
| 0 | $130 |
| 1 | $866 |
| 2 | $1,430 |
| 3 or more | $1,609 |
Because the credit is non-refundable, households with little or no state income tax liability may not fully benefit from the credit.
