WORRIED ABOUT RENT?
THE LIGHT BILL?
ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET?
THIS TAX SEASON MAY BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER FOR YOU.
Our community is facing economic challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Your family may be feeling the financial crunch and we are here to help.
At United Way, we fight for all working families who are struggling to make ends meet. One way we can help is by connecting you to information and resources about filing your income tax return in 2021.
If eligible, you can claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC) and maximize your tax refund so you can keep more of your hard-earned money. The EITC and CTC refunds can give you the opportunity to catch up a bill in arrears, make a needed car repair, secure a healthcare visit, and more. United Way’s national, free online tax preparation service MyFreeTaxes is available to you for self-prepared returns or visit a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site to receive assistance from a trained professional.
Together, the EITC and CTC boosted the income of 28.1 million Americans in 2018, and provided a step toward economic mobility for 10.6 million people, including 5.5 million children.
