Program Descriptions

Federal Child Tax Credit

This Federal Tax Credit is for taxpayers who have one or more qualifying children. The credit is a maximum of $2,200 per child, subject to certain income restrictions. This tax credit will reduce your tax bill and you can get a refund if you have no more tax to pay. Use tax form 1040 or 1040A, and Form 8812 to claim the tax credit and refund. There are Child Tax Credit Worksheets to help you determine the credit and refund. See www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/child-tax-credit for more information.

The IRS offers free tax help to qualified individuals who are preparing their own tax returns. Eligiblity depends on an individual's income, disability status, and age. See more about the program requirements here, and find a location to receive tax assistance here.
