                                                          Changes to Note
Hawaii conforms the income tax laws to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended as of December 31, 2022, and applies to taxable years 
  beginning after December 31, 2022. Section 235-2.3(b)(40), Hawaii Revised Statutes, with respect to computation of tax where taxpayers restores 
  substantial amount held under claim of right, is amended for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021. (Act 56, SLH 2023)
A Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax credit has been established for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022 and e       ective January 1, 2024. 
  The PTE tax credit allows partnerships and S corporations to annually elect to pay Hawaii income tax at the entity level. Eligible members of an 
  electing PTE may claim a nonrefundable income tax credit for their pro rata share of PTE taxes paid by the entity. (Act 50, SLH 2023)
These refundable income tax credits have been amended for taxable years 2023 to 2027 by (1) increasing the household and dependent care tax 
  credit, (2) increasing the refundable earned income tax credit, and (3) increasing the income thresholds and credit amounts of the refundable food/
  excise tax credit. (Act 163, SLH 2023)
Taxpayers may exclude up to $7,683 of their military reserve or Hawaii National Guard duty pay from their income, e     ective for taxable years 
  beginning after December 31, 2022. (Act 197, SLH 2004)

                                                     Important  Reminders
File and Pay on Time
Please le your return and pay your taxes by April 22, 2024.
When you mail your return:
  (1) Mail it to the appropriate address as stated in “Where to File.”
  (2) Enclose only one return per envelope.
  (3) Use proper postage. If there is insu  cient postage on the envelope, the U.S. Postal Service will return it to you.
Keep a copy of your return for your records.
Extension of Time to File
If you are unable to  le by April 22, 2024, you are granted an automatic 6-month extension of time to  le your return through October 21, 2024. You 
  do not have to  le a form to request an extension. The extension of time to  le is not an extension of time for payment of tax.
  (1) If you are due a refund, just  le your return by October 21, 2024.
  (2) If you have a balance due, you must pay your taxes in full by April 22, 2024. File Form N-200V with your payment. Federal Form 4868 may not    
      be used in lieu of Form N-200V.
  (3) If you’re not sure if you have a balance due, use the worksheet in “When to File.”
Make Sure Your Tax Return is Correct and Complete
You can avoid processing delays, adjustments to your return, and additional correspondence from the Department of Taxation if you:
  (1) Make sure all social security numbers are correct.
  (2) Check the appropriate  ling status box.
  (3) Complete all required entries on your return. The following lines must be  lled in: Form N-11, line 24; and Form N-15, line 41.
  (4) Check the arithmetic on your return.
  (5) Attach all required forms and statements.
  (6) Attach your employee earning statements (HW-2s or federal W-2s) to the front of your return.
  (7) Sign your return. If you paid someone to prepare your return, the preparer must sign and complete the Paid Preparer’s Information box.
You may be required to   le an amended return to complete missing entries or provide missing forms or statements.
Amended Returns
If you are  ling an amended return, you must submit a complete return and attach Schedule AMD along with all required forms and statements. If 
  you are claiming any tax credits, remember to attach the required forms, such as Schedule CR and Schedule X, even if you claimed the credits on 
  the original return. See “Make Sure Your Tax Return is Correct and Complete” above.
Married Taxpayers
If you are married, print your spouse’s social security number in the designated area on your return whether a joint or separate return is  led.
If your spouse is an alien and was issued an ITIN by the IRS, enter your spouse’s ITIN.
If you are married and  ling separate returns, the refund from your spouse’s return cannot be applied to your liability.

                                                             Items to Note
The Hawaii Taxpayer Bill of Rights is reprinted inside the back cover.
The Department of Taxation is a proud partner with the Missing Child Center - Hawaii, Department of the Attorney General (MCCH). Photographs 
  of missing children selected by the Center may appear in this instruction booklet on pages that would otherwise be blank. You can help bring these 
  children home by looking at the photographs and calling MCCH at 1-808-586-1449 if you recognize a child.
