[cid:image010.png at 01DA697D.D854B730]TAX CREDITS AND MORE

Many of the people we serve will qualify for these cash credits and filing help.  

  *   Oregon Kids Credit is a new child tax credit. Individuals and families making from $0 to $25,000 can get $1000 for each child under age six. Taxpayers with incomes between $25,000 and $30,000 are also eligible, though the credit is reduced. This credit is available even if you have never filed, are not required to file or have little or no taxable income.
  *   Other credits from Oregon and the federal government. The federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is for those with low- to moderate-incomes. People who qualify for the federal EITC also can claim the Oregon Earned Income Credit (EIC). Learn more about these and other tax credits from this Revenue Department information sheet<https://www.oregon.gov/dor/Documents/English%20-%20Oregon%20Kids%20Credit%20Flyer.pdf>.
  *   Free, local tax preparation from community partners is available. Contact 211<https://www.211info.org/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery> Info to find help. Dial 2-1-1, text a zip code to 898211 or email help at 211info.org<mailto:help at 211info.org>. People also can also find a map of tax preparation services and free tax filing software options on the Department of Revenue website<https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/individuals/pages/get-free-tax-help.aspx?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery>.

We also want people to know now is a good time to catch up on filing for past years to make sure they haven’t left money on the table. Rebates offered during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency – from 2020 and 2021 - are still available for those who didn’t get all they qualified for during the pandemic.
