Use the New York Tax Form Calculator Form IT-114 — Claim for Family Tax Relief Credit as a stand alone tax form calculator to quickly calculate specific amounts for your 2026 New York state tax return. Alternatively, you can use one of our Combined Federal and State Tax Estimators to quickly calculate your salary, tax, and take-home pay.

Form IT-114 was used by New York State residents to claim a credit for each dependent child under age 17 under the “Family Tax Relief Credit” program. The credit is no longer available for recent tax years, and the form has been removed from the list of current credit claim forms. IT-201 filers should not attempt to file IT-114 for current years.

Although the form is discontinued, historical practitioners should maintain records of prior year filings and understand the transition impact for tax-planning or audit purposes.

Who formerly filed: New York residents (individuals, not estates/trusts) who claimed a dependent child under age 17 and met eligibility rules in the years IT-114 was active.
Credit nature: A fixed-dollar credit amount per dependent (e.g., in earlier years CAD/EUR conversions not involved), claimed on Form IT-201 with IT-114 attached.
Discontinuation: The credit was eliminated in a recent legislation or administrative change; it does not apply for tax years after its termination date. NY DTF lists IT-114 as “Discontinued”.
Record-keeping: Even though the form is no longer filed going forward, retain prior year check copies and supporting documentation in case of audits or carryforward issues.
Next steps for similar credits: For dependent-child-related credits in NY, consider IT-213 (Empire State Child Credit) and review the current eligibility rules rather than rely on the old IT-114 pathway.

Historical mechanics and elimination

Originally, IT-114 allowed a credit for each qualifying child under age 17, modest in size, to reduce the New York State income tax liability of resident filers. The credit was separate from federal dependent-child tax credits and was claimed when the filer’s tax return met specific eligibility criteria.

The amount of the credit in earlier years was a fixed sum per child (for example, $350 for each dependent child under 17 in a certain tax year). Because it was a fixed-dollar amount rather than a percentage-of-tax formula, the paperwork simply required listing dependents, verifying residency and age, and attaching IT-114 to IT-201.

The discontinuation reflects policy changes in New York—possibly due to funding shifts, consolidation of credits, or alignment with federal dependent credit structures. NY DTF’s current credit index shows IT-114 listed under the “Discontinued” heading.

Although no new version of IT-114 is needed, filers who claimed the credit historically should verify carry-forward status, any audit issues, and the impact of elimination on tax-planning (for example, shifting to IT-213 or other dependent credits).

From a compliance standpoint, attempt to file IT-114 in a current year will result in rejection or guidance from NY DTF because the form is not valid for current tax years. Software providers have removed IT-114 from active form lists.

Planning and audit-readiness for discontinued credits

Even though the credit is discontinued, maintain your documentation if you claimed IT-114 in an earlier year—this includes the return copy, dependent verification, and copy of the submitted IT-114. Audits can reach back several years depending on issues such as carryforward or amended returns.

If you are advising current clients, highlight that the elimination of IT-114 means the dependent-child tax-credit strategy in New York must now rely on other forms (such as IT-213) or federal credits. Review your prior-year models and remove reliance on IT-114 in ongoing planning.
