Can I claim money from previous years?

Yes! You have up to two years from the original due date to e-file a tax return and claim your eligible tax benefits.  So, if you didn’t file for Tax Year 2023 (typically filed in 2024), you have until the end of 2026 to claim tax benefits from those years.

SimpleFile can now help you file and claim your eligible NJ Child Tax Credit for tax years 2023, 2024, and 2025 (current year). 

There is no penalty or consequences for filing late if you are due a refund.
