Helping Maryland Connect Underserved Residents to Crucial State Tax Credits initiative, a research and policy project aimed at connecting underserved residents to Maryland’s largest income tax credits. Experts will provide a high-level overview of policy and administrative strategies to increase the uptake of state tax benefits and what this may mean for children and families’ well-being. The convening will also explore where there may be opportunities for more research, policy shifts, and different implementation approaches.
