If I file married jointly, can my husband still complete a IT-209? He paid child support all year and would like to claim Income Tax Credit.

Someone who is more familiar with New York State tax laws may be able to answer specifically.

Yes, your husband can file New York Form IT-209 if you and he file as married filing jointly. He cannot use Form IT-209 if he files as married filing separately.
