November 15 Deadline to Claim Your Child Tax Credit!
Families with no income or low income could get at least $3,000 per child with the Child Tax Credit, plus $1,400 with the third stimulus payment - even if they have never filed taxes before (and if they have not yet already filed taxes this year).
It is estimated that at least 65,000 children in Michigan could miss out on this money if their parent/guardian has not yet filed. There is an easy form for people to file on their mobile devices in 15 minutes or less in English or Spanish.
People have until November 15 to sign up this year at Get CTC. Outreach materials are available in 11 languages, including flyers, template emails, texts, and robo calls.
Families can be directed tohttps://www.getctc.org/en to sign up. Se habla espanol.
