Foster Youth & Tax Filing: Helping Youth Prepare, File & Follow Through

This webinar provided county child welfare agencies and their community partners information and resources to help nonminor dependents and former foster youth file their taxes and claim the California Foster Youth Tax Credit, worth up to $1,154 in 2025.

Presenters reviewed JBAY’s new “Taxes 101” workshop curriculum for youth. The training also discussed how to conduct outreach, how to host self-filing events, how to refer youth to Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites, and how to help youth utilize JBAY’s self-filing guide.
