The noncustodial parent New York State earned income credit (noncustodial EIC) may be claimed instead of the New York State
earned income credit (NYS EIC). If you claimed a federal earned income credit, compute both the noncustodial EIC (Schedule A) and
the NYS EIC (Schedule B) on Form IT-209 to determine which credit is more beneficial to you. You cannot claim both the noncustodial
EIC and the NYS EIC.
