Make a Plan to File: Preparing for the Foster Youth Tax Credit

The 2024 tax season will be the second year that current and former foster youth across California are eligible for the Foster Youth Tax Credit. This exciting new tax credit put over $5 million directly into the pockets of nearly 5,000 young people across the state in 2023.

This webinar kicked off the 2024 tax season, enlisting and training critical stakeholders to help current and former foster youth in their communities access this important tax credit in 2024. Topics addressed during the session included an overview of tax filing and credits, preparing youth to file, outreach strategies, referral resources and more.
