Free Virtual Training on Getting Tax Credits This Season

Vincent Echavaria

NYCHA residents are invited to join a free virtual training session to learn how to receive the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) this tax filing season.  

Presented by the federal government, the training is scheduled from 2 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday, March 9. With just over one month left until the tax filing deadline of April 18, this training will give a demonstration of childtaxcredit.gov and getyourrefund.org (websites with free IRS-certified tax filing resources) and explain how to connect with IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program centers.  

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) staff will also present HUD-specific resources regarding the CTC and EITC, as well as research on how the Child Tax Credit has benefited HUD-assisted families.
