New Mexico · New Mexico TRD · Used for tax years 2024

The 2024 New Mexico Schedule PIT-S lists qualifying dependents and other dependents beyond the first five reported on Form PIT-1. It reports each additional dependent’s name, Social Security number, and date of birth and must be attached to Form PIT-1.

Who files this form

Use 2024 Schedule PIT-S only if you have more than five federal qualifying dependents and other dependents. List the first five on 2024 Form PIT-1, line 8, and the remaining dependents on Schedule PIT-S.

Include only qualifying dependents and other dependents allowed on your federal return. Do not include yourself or, if filing jointly, your spouse.

What you'll need

Have the following ready:

  • Your federal return, so you can list dependents' names exactly as shown there and include only dependents allowed on that return.
  • Each additional dependent's first and last name, Social Security number, and date of birth in MM/DD/CCYY format.
  • Your name and Social Security number.
  • Your 2024 Form PIT-1, to which you must attach Schedule PIT-S.

If you need help determining who qualifies, the form refers you to the instructions for federal Form 1040 or 1040SR, or www.irs.gov.

Common mistakes

  • Listing yourself or your spouse. Do not include yourself or, on a joint return, your spouse.
  • Including dependents not allowed on your federal return. Enter only qualifying dependents and other dependents allowed on that return.
  • Using different names from your federal form. Enter each dependent's name as listed on your federal form.
