Form IT-257 Claim of Right Credit Tax Year 2023
More about the New York Form IT-257 Individual Income Tax Tax Credit TY 2023
If you have claim of right income for federal tax purposes and are claiming the federal claim of right credit on your federal return, you may also be entitled to a claim of right credit for New York State, New York City, Yonkers, or MCTMT. The claim of right credit is available to individuals, estates, and trusts. Claim of right income is income that was properly reported on a prior year’s tax return, but was later determined to have been paid to you in error and therefore had to be repaid. If the claim of right credit exceeds the amount of tax imposed for the tax year, the excess will be refunded to you. If you have federal claim of right income but elect to take the federal deduction instead of the credit, you cannot claim a credit for New York State, New York City, Yonkers, or MCTMT. Do not complete this form. However, depending upon the type of income repaid and whether you itemize your deductions for New York State purposes, you may get the deduction.
We last updated the Claim of Right Credit in January 2024, so this is the latest version of Form IT-257, fully updated for tax year 2023. You can download or print current or past-year PDFs of Form IT-257 directly from TaxFormFinder. You can print other New York tax forms here.

Form IT-257 is a New York Individual Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.
About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
