If you were able to claim the federal Earned Income Credit, then you also qualify for the Delaware Earned Income Credit. You can receive some of the credit back as a refund even if you don't have any tax due.
You'll receive either a refundable credit equal to 4.50% of the federal credit or a nonrefundable credit of up to 20% of the federal credit. Usually, you'll take whichever is more beneficial to you. We automatically compare the amounts for you and choose the one that gives you the largest refund.
