New Mexico · New Mexico TRD · Used for tax years 2025

The 2025 New Mexico FID-CR is a tax credit schedule for estates and trusts filing a Fiduciary Income Tax Return (FID-1). It reports listed tax credits applied against fiduciary income tax and any refundable portions of approved credits.

Who files this form

Use the 2025 FID-CR if you are claiming any of the listed tax credits against New Mexico fiduciary income tax reported on Form FID-1 for an estate or trust. You can also use it to claim the refundable portion of approved credits, if applicable.

Attach FID-CR to Form FID-1. If you claim more than five credits, also use the FID-CR Supplemental Schedule.

What you'll need

Have the following ready:

  • The estate or trust’s name and FEIN.
  • Form FID-1, including the amounts on lines 9 and 10.
  • The credit type code and credit approval number for each credit claimed.
  • The claim form and supporting documents listed for each credit in the FID-CR table. Depending on the credit, these include certificates of eligibility, certifications, approval letters, letters of eligibility or investment vouchers.
  • The claim form or supporting instructions used to calculate each credit.
  • FID-CR Supplemental Schedules if you claim more than five credits.

For example, the Affordable Housing Tax Credit requires Form RPD-41301 and MFA investment vouchers. The Preservation of Cultural Property Credit requires Form PIT-4, a certification letter and Part 2 approval. Check the table for the exact attachments required for your credits.
