Hispanic Unity of Florida (HUF), Broward County’s largest nonprofit serving multi-cultural working families for 40 years, recently received a $100,000 grant from Share Our Strength, a national anti-hunger organization, to provide extended expert tax services at no cost, and support outreach and enrollment efforts, allowing families to claim the full benefits of the Child Tax Credit (CTC).
The CTC, a refundable tax credit worth up to $3,600 per child under age 17, is designed to help families make ends meet and offset the costs of child-rearing expenses, including food, housing, transportation, healthcare, clothing, childcare, education, and other necessities. To be eligible, a child must have an Social Security Number (SSN), but a parent or caregiver is only required to have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to claim the credit for the eligible child.
This tax credit will not change the amounts from any other Federal benefits such as Medicaid, SNAP (formerly food stamps), SSI, or others. Claiming this tax credit will not affect immigration status, ability to get a green card, or future eligibility for immigration benefits. Use of tax credits is not considered in a “public charge” determination by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
At Share Our Strength, we’re ending hunger and poverty – in the United States and abroad. Through proven, effective campaigns like No Kid Hungry and Cooking Matters, we connect people who care to ideas that work.
Broward Tax Pro is currently offering free tax preparation services – including assistance with amended returns and the CTC – to families and individuals who earn up to $66,000 per year. Broward Tax Pro is open through mid-October at three Broward locations:
City of Tamarac Community Center, 8601 W Commercial Blvd, Tamarac, FL 33351
Urban League of Broward County, 560 NW 27th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311
Hispanic Unity of Florida, 5811 Johnson St, Hollywood, FL 33021
