Helping Foster Youth Students File Taxes

This virtual training provided college campus personnel with information to assist students with experience in foster care with filing their taxes and claiming the California Foster Youth Tax Credit (FYTC). Presenters provided background of the FYTC, and an overview of outreach materials, strategies to educate students about tax filing and how to prepare, and resources to file for free with support. The training reviewed JBAY’s new “Taxes 101” curriculum, designed for programs hosting workshops for youth, and also discussed how to support students after taxes are filed.
