Help Families Claim Tax Credits
The National Women’s Law Center recently launched a Tax Credits Outreach Campaign to ensure that more families know to claim available federal and state income tax credits.
They have fliers for every state showing federal and state tax credits and how much they’re worth. The fliers are available in English, Spanish, and additional languages in some states.
Here are some easy ways you can get the word out to families about tax credits:
- Link to NWLC’s materials on your website, Facebook and Twitter.
- Start making fliers available to families in your offices and through your partners.
- Ask organizations you work with to put an article about tax credits in their next newsletter. Please e-mail Rio Romero at rromero@nwlc.org if you’d like NWLC to help tailor our sample article for your state.
- Partner with other organizations in your area on activities. To identify other groups in your area, check out the database of EITC coalitions from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities’ website.
NWLC is also inviting organizaiton to join their outreach campaign as an NWLC Community Partner. As a community partner, you will receive:
- Customized resources that make it easy to spread the word about tax credits to families in your community
Technical assistance on issues relating to tax credits and outreach activities
