New Mexico offers several refundable tax credits. That means you get a refund even if you don't owe state taxes. Find out more at www.tax.newmexico.gov.
A graphic from the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department with a decorative image of a piggy bank. An image of a dictionary has the following text: "refundable tax credit n (pl. ~s) A credit you can get as a refund even if you don't owe any tax." Below that, not on the dictionary, additional text says: "Tax credits are amounts you subtract from your bottom-line tax due when you file your tax return. Most tax credits can reduce your tax only until it reaches $0. Refundable credits go beyond that to give you any remaining credit as a refund. That's why it's best to file taxes even if you don't have to. Many people who qualify for refundable credits miss out on refunds because they don't file."
