John,

Thanks to generous grassroots support over the weekend, CHN is able to start running digital ads to help low- and no-income families file their tax returns and receive the 2021 expanded Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. Thank you!

Now, the White House is increasing its efforts to get the word out and help millions of working people and families receive these tax credits.

Click here to RSVP for a live Zoom event with Vice President Kamala Harris tomorrow, Tuesday February 8th at 9:30am ET.

The vice president, along with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and American Rescue Plan Coordinator Gene Sperling, will bring critical attention to the benefits for all working people and families with children to file tax returns this year―even for those who are not required to file because their incomes are low.

Due to the American Rescue Plan, passed by Congress last spring and signed into law by President Biden, parents and guardians can receive a tax credit of between $3,000 – $3,600 per child ages 0 – 17 years old. Additionally, low-income workers without dependent children are eligible to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit, which was expanded last year to include workers as young as 19 years old and workers 65 and older.

Visit https://www.childtaxcredit.gov/eligibility/ to determine whether you or your household is eligible to receive the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit.

The White House is also providing free resources to help families and individuals file your tax returns here: https://www.childtaxcredit.gov/triage/

Together, we’re making sure that millions of eligible people receive the tax credits available to them, which, last year, cut childhood poverty by nearly 40%.

Thank you for all that you do to fight for policies that uplift low-income and working families.
