Today Isabel will be sharing with us some resources on economical support services, specifically tax credits.
It's a particularly exciting year for supportive tax credits in Colorado. There's a new credit in town, the Family Affordability Tax Credit (FATC) which will deliver up to $3,200 per child to low income families in Colorado. Get Ahead CO also has a new tax calculator developed in partnership with Gary Community Ventures, that will allow users to quickly calculate how much in credits they may receive, based on income and dependents.
