Help Families and Staff Learn More and Claim Tax Credits
Help families and staff learn more about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC) by reviewing the information below and displaying the posters in your centers.
Raise awareness about these tax credits by sharing the information and preventing thousands of dollars from going unclaimed because workers do not know about them. Eligible working families and individuals can claim over $4,700 from the EITC, up to $2,100 from the federal CDCTC and $1,000 for each child from the CTC.
