Child Care Resource and Referral Tax Information

Child Care Resource and Referral is an organization in Portland that works with Child Care providers and parents to increase the quality of child care offered in the State of Oregon.  I got an email from them this morning with some information about tax credits for working parents.  So I wanted to pass the information a long to you. 

TAX CREDITS FOR WORKING FAMILIES COULD BE

WORTH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

The Oregon Child Care Resource & Referral Network
 Is Spreading the Word So That Eligible Families Don't

Miss Out On Tax Credits  
 

The Oregon Child Care Resource & Referral Network is working with the National Women's Law Center (NWLC) to launch a tax credit outreach campaign to ensure that more low and moderate income families are aware of and claim available federal and state income tax credits.

Eligible families could receive thousands of dollars from federal and state tax credits this year. Families are facing incredible economic pressures and can't afford to leave this money on the table.

Federal and state tax credits can help offset the cost of child care and other expenses for working families. 

You Earned It!

As much as $5,666 or more could be waiting for you. File a tax return to claim the Earned Income Credit and many more tax credits.
 

If you worked in 2010, had children living with you and earned less than about $45,000 or did not have children living with you and earned less than about $13,000. You could qualify!

For more information about the Earned Income Tax credit, other federal and state child tax credits, you will find tax credit fliers in English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Russian and Spanish at www.oregonchildcare.org.
