Start Here: Claim the Federal EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit)

Most single moms should screen for EITC first—it’s one of the biggest refundable credits for working families.

What to do first

• Use the IRS’s free tool: EITC Qualification Assistant to confirm eligibility and estimate your amount for your tax year. (irs.gov)

2024 and 2025 EITC amounts and limits

• For 2024 returns (filed in 2025), max EITC is: $7,830\ast \ast (3+kids),\ast \ast$6,960 (2), $4,213\ast \ast (1),\ast \ast$632 (no kids). Income limits vary by family size (for example, head of household with 3+ kids must be under $59,899\ast \ast AGI).Investmentincomemustbe\ast \ast$11,600 or less. See full table at IRS. (irs.gov)
• For 2025 returns (filed in 2026), max EITC is: $8,046\ast \ast (3+kids),\ast \ast$7,152 (2), $4,328\ast \ast (1),\ast \ast$649 (no kids). Investment income limit is $11,950. See the IRS inflation bulletin (Internal Revenue Bulletin 2024‑45). (irs.gov)

Who qualifies (quick check)

• You (and your child if claiming EITC with children) must have valid SSNs; you must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien all year; cannot file Form 2555; and investment income must be at/below the annual limit. If you claim EITC with no children, you must be 25–64. See IRS Publication 596 for all rules. (irs.gov)

How to claim

• File Form 1040/1040‑SR and complete the EITC section; most software does this automatically when you enter dependents and income. If you’re not required to file, file anyway to get the refund. Use Free File or VITA if you need help. (irs.gov)

Refund timing reality check

• The IRS can’t issue any refund that includes EITC (or the Additional CTC) before mid‑February (PATH Act). If you e‑file and choose direct deposit with no issues, the IRS says many early filers get money by about March 3; Where’s My Refund updates by February 22 for most early filers. (irs.gov)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Claiming a child who didn’t live with you in the U.S. more than half the year.
• Using the wrong filing status (Head of Household is often right if you paid over half the cost of keeping up a home for a qualifying child).
• Missing the investment‑income cap.
• Filing too early with missing W‑2/1099 forms; mismatches delay refunds. (irs.gov)

Real‑world example (federal)

• You’re a Nebraska mom with two kids, $28,500\ast \ast inearnedincome(2024).TheIRStableshowsalikelyEITCinthe\ast \ast$3,000–$4,000\ast \ast range(exactamountdependsonyourfinalAGI).IfyourfederalEITCis\ast \ast$3,800, Nebraska will add another $380 (10%). (irs.gov, revenue.nebraska.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Get free, in‑person help. Call 800‑906‑9887 (VITA) or see the TCAN site map for free sites statewide. If the IRS flags your return, watch for letters and respond by the deadline in bold on the notice (keep copies). (tcan.unl.edu)

Nebraska EITC (State) – 10% of your federal EITC

Nebraska’s EITC is simple: if you qualify for federal EITC, you get a refundable 10% of that amount on your Nebraska return.

Action steps

• When you prepare your Nebraska Form 1040N, the state EITC line calculates as 10% of your federal EITC (partial‑year residents use a ratio). You’ll see fields that pull in your federal EITC amount and multiply by 0.10. (revenue.nebraska.gov, nebraskalegalforms.com)

Nebraska EITC: example and quick table

• If your federal EITC is $3,800\ast \ast (twokids),Nebraskaadds\ast \ast$380.

Sources: IRS EITC tables and Nebraska Reg‑22‑019.21. (irs.gov, revenue.nebraska.gov)

Need state help?

• Nebraska DOR taxpayer assistance: 800‑742‑7474 (NE & IA) or 402‑471‑5729. Offices in Lincoln and Omaha are open weekdays; see addresses/hours on the DOR page. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If software didn’t pull the Nebraska EITC correctly, check that your federal EITC is entered and that dependents transferred. If you’re stuck, call DOR at 800‑742‑7474 or 402‑471‑5729 to confirm what to enter on Form 1040N, or get free in‑person help at a VITA site. (revenue.nebraska.gov, tcan.unl.edu)

Federal Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Additional CTC (refund)

This is separate from EITC and can stack with it.

Key facts for 2024 and 2025

• Maximum CTC remains up to $2,000\ast \ast perqualifyingchildunder\ast \ast 17\ast \ast ;upto\ast \ast$1,700 per child may be refundable as the Additional CTC (ACTC) for both 2024 and 2025 per IRS guidance. Phaseouts generally start at $200,000\ast \ast MAGI(single/HOH)and\ast \ast$400,000 (MFJ). Children must have an SSN valid for employment issued by the return due date. File Schedule 8812. (eitc.irs.gov, irs.gov)

Reality checks

• The IRS cannot issue refunds that include the ACTC before mid‑February (you’ll often see updated dates by February 22 and deposits around early March if you e‑file and pick direct deposit with no issues). (irs.gov)

What to do first

• Make sure every child’s SSN and your filing status are correct in your return software. The IRS will reduce or disallow the credit if SSN data is wrong or late. Use the IRS CTC key messages for a quick rule summary. (eitc.irs.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If you’re denied because a child lacks an SSN, you may still be eligible for the Credit for Other Dependents ($500, nonrefundable). See the IRS page for details. (eitc.irs.gov)

---

Federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (daycare, after‑school, summer day camp)

If you pay for care so you can work or look for work, check this credit.

The essentials

• For 2024 and 2025, you can claim 20%–35% of up to $3,000\ast \ast ineligibleexpensesforonechildorupto\ast \ast$6,000 for two or more children. The rate slides down as income rises; at $43,000+ AGI most families get 20%. It’s nonrefundable. File IRS Form 2441. (irs.gov)

Examples that count

• Licensed daycare, preschool below kindergarten level, before/after‑school care, and day camps (not overnight). You must have the provider’s name, address, and TIN/SSN. (irs.gov)

Nebraska boost (state CDCTC)

• Nebraska allows a 25% nonrefundable credit based on your federal CDCTC if your AGI is over $29,000\ast \ast .IfyourAGIis\ast \ast$29,000 or less, Nebraska offers a refundable version that phases down from 100% of the federal amount as income rises from $22,000–$29,000. See Reg‑22‑019.11 for details. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Paying cash with no receipt or missing provider TIN.
• Claiming kindergarten tuition (not eligible), or overnight camp.
• Forgetting to coordinate with a Dependent Care FSA (benefits reduce expenses you can use for the credit). (irs.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If you’re over income for a big federal credit, the Nebraska refundable CDCTC can still help if your AGI is $29,000 or less. Also check the Nebraska Child Care Refundable Tax Credit (next section). (revenue.nebraska.gov)

Nebraska Child Care Refundable Tax Credit (Parents & Guardians, age 5 and under)

This is new and powerful for Nebraska families with little ones.

Act now (how to apply)

• Apply online in DOR’s eDASH using Form 7203 to reserve your credit, then claim it on your Nebraska return. You must apply and be approved before filing your state return. The annual pool is $15 million and is processed first‑come, first‑served. Allow at least 10 business days for a response. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

Who qualifies and how much

• You must be a Nebraska resident, claim the child on your federal return, and the child must be age ≤5 on December 31 of the tax year. Amounts:
• $2,000perchild\ast \ast iftotalhouseholdincome\le \ast \ast$75,000.
• $1,000perchild\ast \ast iftotalhouseholdincome\ast \ast$75,001–$150,000.
• Not eligible if total household income > $150,000.
• At least one of these also must be true: the child attended a DHHS‑licensed program, an approved license‑exempt provider enrolled in the Child Care Subsidy program, a public‑school‑operated program exempt from licensing, or your household income is ≤ 100% FPL (in that last case you don’t need a licensed provider). (revenue.nebraska.gov)

Required documents (have these before you apply)

• Child’s legal name, DOB, and SSN/ITIN; your SSN (and spouse’s if MFJ); number of Nebraska personal exemptions (from 1040N line 4); household income estimate/worksheet; the DHHS license number or DHHS authorization if using an approved license‑exempt provider. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

Processing timeline

• DOR processes applications in order received. The portal usually opens in late January; sign up for DOR email alerts so you don’t miss it. Yearly cap is $15 million—apply early. Response time: about 10 business days; keep your approval letter with the certification number for your return. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

Reality check and pitfalls

• If your final return data (income, dependents) doesn’t match the application, DOR can reduce or disallow the reserved amount. Make sure your provider details (license number) are correct. Funds can run out—don’t wait until March. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• If funds run out, still claim the federal CDCTC and Nebraska CDCTC (if you qualify). If you need help or have a problem with a denied reservation, call DOR at 800‑742‑7474 or 402‑471‑5729. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

Other Nebraska Credits Many Single Moms Miss

These aren’t “mom‑specific,” but can make a real difference.

Property Tax Credits (refundable, via Form PTC)

• Nebraska’s Property Tax Credit program lets you claim refundable credits for community college property taxes paid after December 31, 2021 (and some prior school district taxes before January 1, 2024 via amended returns). Use the official Look‑Up Tool and file Form PTC/PTCX with your income tax return. Check current rules (LB 34 changed how school tax relief is delivered starting 2024). (revenue.nebraska.gov)

Homestead Exemption (property tax relief)

• If you’re 65+, disabled, or a qualified disabled veteran/surviving spouse, your home may be partially exempt from property tax. Apply with your county assessor each year between February 2 and June 30. State helpline: 888‑475‑5101. Forms and income tables here: Nebraska Homestead Exemption. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

School Readiness Tax Credits (for childcare workers and providers)

• If you work in licensed early childhood programs, Nebraska’s refundable staff credit ranges from about $2,373–$3,611 (2025 levels) depending on your professional level; providers can receive nonrefundable credits per subsidy‑enrolled child and program quality step. Apply in eDASH; total annual cap shared with provider credits is $7.5 million. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

Caregiver Tax Credit (new, 2025)

• Nonrefundable credit for family caregivers with AGI under $50,000\ast \ast (single)or\ast \ast$100,000 (MFJ) who pay out‑of‑pocket costs to care for an eligible family member needing help with activities of daily living. Applications began February 2025; annual program cap applies. (revenue.nebraska.gov)

---

Filing, Deadlines, and Refund Timing (Nebraska + Federal)

• Nebraska’s Individual Income Tax deadline aligns with federal. For the 2024 tax year (filed in 2025), the due date was April 15, 2025. Check the [Nebraska Tax Calendar] each year for exact due dates and special farmer/rancher dates. Extensions: if the IRS grants you a federal extension, Nebraska’s is automatic to file, but interest accrues on tax due after the original due date. (revenue.nebraska.gov)
• Track Nebraska refunds at the DOR “Check Refund Status” page; allow at least 30 days for a clean e‑filed return and up to 3 months for paper. DOR assistance: 800‑742‑7474 or 402‑471‑5729. (ndr-refundstatus.ne.gov, revenue.nebraska.gov)

Have this ready before you file or apply.

• Photo ID; SSNs/ITINs for you and kids; prior‑year return if handy.

Free, Trustworthy Help in Nebraska (statewide and local)

• State Taxpayer Assistance (Nebraska DOR): 800‑742‑7474 or 402‑471‑5729. Offices in Lincoln, Omaha, Norfolk, North Platte, and Scottsbluff; hours listed on DOR’s contact page. (revenue.nebraska.gov)
• VITA/TCE (IRS‑certified volunteers): Call 800‑906‑9887 or use the IRS VITA Locator. TCAN hosts sites statewide; see the TCAN map and site list. (tcan.unl.edu)
• United Way 211 Nebraska (free tax prep appointment links for Omaha/Lincoln/other areas): dial 211 or see the Nebraska 211 tax prep page. (ne211.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• If sites are full, try AARP Tax‑Aide (not just for seniors). Use their locator or call 888‑227‑7669. Or e‑file yourself with IRS Free File if your AGI qualifies.

---

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Filing too early without all forms (W‑2/1099). One missing form can trigger a refund delay.
• Choosing the wrong filing status; many single moms qualify for Head of Household.
• Entering a child’s SSN incorrectly; for CTC, the child must have a valid SSN.
• Mixing up childcare credit rules (overnight camps and kindergarten tuition don’t qualify).
• Not applying early for Nebraska’s Child Care Refundable Tax Credit—funds can run out. (eitc.irs.gov, irs.gov, revenue.nebraska.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work:

• If your refund is delayed, check [Where’s My Refund?] daily (updates overnight), and watch your mail for any IRS or DOR letters. Respond by the bolded deadline on the notice. (irs.gov)

Diverse Communities: Tips and Resources

Because families are not one‑size‑fits‑all, here’s what changes—or doesn’t—by situation.

• LGBTQ+ single mothers
  • CTC/EITC rules hinge on relationship, residency, and support tests—not on orientation. If you’re co‑parenting without marriage, only the parent who meets the residency/support rules should claim the child to avoid duplicate claims and delays. Use VITA for nuanced cases.
• Single mothers with disabilities or caring for a disabled child
  • EITC includes special rules for disability benefits; some disability payments can count as earned income for EITC if received before minimum retirement age. Keep records that your child meets the IRS disability definition if claimed as permanently and totally disabled. (irs.gov)
• Veteran single mothers
  • Check Homestead Exemption special categories for disabled veterans/survivors (property tax relief). Apply with your county assessor by June 30. (revenue.nebraska.gov)
• Immigrant/refugee single moms
  • For EITC, you must have a valid SSN (ITIN filers are not eligible for EITC). For the federal CTC, the child must have an SSN; the parent may file with an ITIN and still claim the nonrefundable CTC/ODC if the child has SSN or the rules fit. Nebraska’s Child Care Refundable Tax Credit application accepts SSN/ITIN entries for the parent; read the FAQs and match your documentation carefully. (irs.gov, eitc.irs.gov, revenue.nebraska.gov)
• Tribal citizens (Omaha, Winnebago, Santee Sioux, Ponca)
  • Federal EITC/CTC rules apply the same. If you had income earned entirely on reservation land under certain circumstances, talk to VITA/Tribal tax outreach or DOR about how state rules interact with reservation income. Nebraska regulations note special rules for Native American income earned on reservation land. (revenue.nebraska.gov)
• Rural single moms with limited access
  • Use mail‑in VITA options if available, library internet, or United Way MyFreeTaxes (for eligible incomes). TCAN lists sites outside Omaha/Lincoln each season. (unitedway.org, tcan.unl.edu)
• Single fathers
  • Same rules apply. The qualifying child must live with the claimant more than half the year for EITC, and support tests apply for CTC.
• Language access
  • IRS has multilingual EITC and refund pages; many Nebraska VITA sites can arrange interpreters. Check site notes when you book.

5. Can I use both Nebraska’s childcare refundable credit and the federal CDCTC?

6. I’m over the income limit for Nebraska’s childcare refundable credit. Anything else?
   You may still get the federal CDCTC and the Nebraska CDCTC (state add‑on). Also check employer Dependent Care FSAs. (revenue.nebraska.gov)
7. I own a home—is there any Nebraska relief?

8. Where do I get Nebraska tax help by phone?
   Nebraska DOR assistance: 800‑742‑7474 or 402‑471‑5729 (weekday hours vary by office). (revenue.nebraska.gov)
9. I claimed the wrong child/filer combination and got a letter. What now?
   Read the letter, gather proof of residency (school/daycare/medical records with addresses), and respond by the bolded deadline. VITA can help you reply. (irs.gov)
10. I was told to “wait for March” for my refund. Is that real?
    Yes. Due to the PATH Act, even if you file in January, EITC/ACTC refunds aren’t paid until mid‑February or early March. The IRS posts personalized dates in [Where’s My Refund?]. (irs.gov)
