Child Tax Credit Assistance

Child Tax Credit Assistance

The Child Tax Credit provides eligible families with children under 18 years old a credit of $3,000-$3,600 per child. Families who have not yet received their tax credits can and should claim them, even if they don’t file taxes, and even if the tax deadline has passed. Our year-round VITA site at PEACE, Inc. can help.
