The only income requirement is that you earn more than $10,000 ($20,000 if filing jointly) unless you are age 65 or older, blind or disabled. If you earn less than that, you can only get the credit or deduction if you are 65 years old or over, blind or disabled. You can see this article by the New Jersey Division of Taxation for more information.
