The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Get Ahead Colorado statewide awareness campaign will send text messages this week to Coloradans to connect them to free tax support and information about the Child Tax Credit, Colorado Family Affordability Tax Credit, and Earned Income Tax Credit.
The campaign will deliver two different messages. The first audience is individuals who are likely eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, including those who earn up to $65,000.
The second audience is parents and caregivers who earn up to $65,000 and have dependent children under 17 years old. These individuals are likely eligible for the Child Tax Credit and Colorado Family Affordability Tax Credit. Messages focus on informing Coloradans that they may be eligible for these credits and connecting them to free tax services so they can receive their credits.
The text will read as follows:
“Earned Income Tax Credit (individuals earning up to $65,000) – Hi, this is Get Ahead Colorado, a service of CDPHE. The Earned Income Tax Credit can give you money back, but you need to file taxes to claim it. Learn more at GetAheadColorado.org.”
And “Child Tax Credits (parents or caregivers who earn up to $65,000 and have dependent children under 17) – Hi, this is Get Ahead Colorado, a service of CDPHE. If you have children, the new Family Affordability Tax Credit might put more money in your pocket, but you have to file taxes. Learn more at GetAheadColorado.org.”
