Take Action: Child Tax Credit & Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day
Help get out the word that it’s not too late to get the rest, or all, of your 2021 Child Tax Credit (CTC) money, as part of a national day of action on the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit on Feb 8. What you can do:
- Tell mothers, grandmothers and other caregivers that they can still get CTC money by filing their 2021 taxes, even if they didn’t earn an income or normally file. Point them to GetYourRefund.org and ChildTaxCredit.gov for more information.
- Share the graphic and tweets below on social media.
- Share the flyer Got Kids? Get Cash! below.
- Print and get the flyer around (color or black & white) in your community.
The expanded Child Tax Credit cut poverty for millions of children, but it’s stopped unless we get Congress to act. Extend the #CTC! No work requirements: Raising children is work!
