Friend,

Last spring, Congress passed and President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan, which, among other things, provided families with young children an expanded Child Tax Credit of between $3,000 and $3,600 per child. Additionally, many workers without dependent children qualify for an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit.

Even if you claimed these CTC or EITC benefits last year, you must still file your taxes this year to claim your remaining benefits. And with Tax Day quickly approaching, next Monday April 18th, there’s still time.

Click here to see if you or your family qualify for the expanded Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit.

If you’ve already filed your taxes, you’re all set! But we need to ensure that millions of people who don’t normally have to file tax returns do so this year, or else they’ll miss out on these cash benefits that are giving working people and families an extra financial boost at this critical time.

If you live in or around Detroit, you may qualify for free tax preparation from the Accounting Aid Society. Click here to learn more.

If you live elsewhere in Michigan or around the country, click here for additional free resources to help families and individuals file your tax returns.

Please share this email with family and friends who may benefit from this information.

Always serving you,

Rashida
