Does anyone know is the NYS family relief credit applies for 2017? We got it last year and I don't see it this year. Thanks

The NYS Family Tax Relief Credit has been discontinued for 2017 per the following link, https://www.tax.ny.gov/forms/form_number_order_income.htm:

Form number      Instructions      Form title                             

IT-114                   Discontinued     Claim for Family Tax Relief Credit. This form has been discontinued.

This is consistent with the 2016 Form IT-114, Claim for Family Tax Relief Credit:
