Please join us for these important sessions on tax credits that put money in the pockets of individuals experiencing homelessness and former foster youth. Opportunities for organizations and young adults to partner with IRS Stakeholder Partnerships, Education and Communication (SPEC) will be provided.

All working youth 18 years and older who are experiencing uncertainty with housing and/or aging out of the foster care system are cordially invited to attend a symposium to learn more about changes in the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and their potential eligibility for this valuable credit. Information regarding IRS employment and volunteer opportunities will also be shared. Please register for the symposium using the link provided below. If you are unable to attend at the assigned time, you can review the recording at your convenience. It will be available for 30 days. However, you must register for the session to access the recording.
