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.

Families filing their 2007 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; and
• $4,716 from the federal Earned Income Tax Credit.

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

Starting in May 2008, more than 130 million households will receive an economic stimulus payment from the Internal Revenue Service. Most people don't need to do anything special to get a payment; they can just file their taxes as usual and the IRS will do the rest. Please see our economic stimulus payment page for more useful website links, documents, and other information.

By providing tools and information to parents, service providers, and advocates, the NWLC Tax Credit Outreach Campaign helps families receive the money they are entitled to.
