Helping Families Put Money in Their Pockets!

Tax Credits Outreach Campaign

Tools for Parents, Advocates, and Service Providers

Every year, millions of families fail to claim federal and state tax credits for which they are eligible, leaving billions of dollars unclaimed.

And this year, these credits are more valuable than ever!

Families filing their 2009 tax returns may be eligible for up to:

• $2,100 from the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit;
• $1,000 per child from the federal Child Tax Credit;
• $5,657 from the federal Earned Income Tax Credit; and
• $800 from the new Making Work Pay Credit.

Plus, similar state tax credits are available in many states.

And for more information on what the tax changes in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act mean when families file their taxes this year, check out our Q&As.

The NWLC Tax Credits Outreach Campaign provides tools and information to parents, service providers, and advocates. Free materials, including state specific fliers, an outreach toolkit for advocates, and a media tipsheet, are available to be downloaded. Our goal is to help put money back in families' pockets this tax filing season.
