OLGT 2015-73: DTA Mailing on the EITC, CTC, MA EIC and Child Care

In January 2016, the Department will issue the annual Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit (CTC), Massachusetts Earned Income Credit (EIC) and child care assistance informational mailing. The mailing is being sent to all active TAFDC clients, certain former TAFDC clients whose cases closed on or after January 1, 2015 and all active SNAP cases, excluding SNAP cases receiving TAFDC.

The purpose of the mailing is to encourage clients and certain former clients who are employed or who become employed to: file federal and Massachusetts taxes and claim the EITC and EIC credits, claim child tax credits, if qualified, when they file, and take advantage of child care assistance, if eligible.
