Issue 3094 was opened on March 6th to resolve an issue where the NY Empire State Child Credit was being awarded in error. Dependents listed on the Federal return age 17 or older are being considered as qualifying children for this credit which is incorrect. The fix for this issue is expected to be deployed tomorrow morning, assuming it passes internal testing. If your site is holding any NY returns where the NY Empire State Child Credit is being awarded in error, you will be able to submit those returns once this post has been marked “Resolved”.
