Tax Day Toolkit – April 15th
WHAT: Join us April 15th (Tax Day!) for a Day of Action on the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC). Hashtag: #SupportCDCTC
WHEN: First Five Years Fund and our partners are joining our efforts Tuesday April 15th from 11 am to 3 pm
WHY: The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit is the only tax provision specifically designed to help working parents with the cost of child care – but it hasn’t been updated in 20 years. We know that Congress will focus on taxes this year. We also know it is crucial that protecting and expanding the CDCTC is part of that conversation.
HOW: We need to get this message in front of Congress. (1) Use the action center to contact your lawmaker and tell them how important CDCTC is (all you have to do is enter your email and zip code!) and (2) Share your support for CDCTC (and our action center!) on Twitter – just copy and paste the tweets and graphics below!
