HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Nearly 90% of children in the U.S. became eligible for the Child Tax Credit when it was expanded last year. Families can still claim the full 2021 CTC - up to $3,600 per child per family - by filing tax returns this year.
Kansas Action for Children, United Methodist Health Ministry Fund, the Coalition on Human Needs and the Partnership for America's Children are coming together later this month for a webinar on the subject.
The webinar August 24 at 4 p.m. will provide updates on how families can still claim the credit post tax season. The webinar is designed to help agencies, organizations, professionals and providers in the field better understand the expanded Child Tax Credit and how to help families claim this benefit.
You do not have to be a tax expert. The webinar will share ready-to-use resources to help provide information to families and connect them to tax preparation assistance.
The webinar and accompanying multilingual resources are designed to help with CTC outreach to families. The training will also answer many common questions around immigration, income, custody, and other related questions connected to claiming the CTC.
