FREE Tax Credit Training for Service Providers...

If you are looking for valuable information about taxes, deductions, and refunds, consider attending one of these trainings from the Children's Defense Fund-Minnesota:

Providers across Minnesota can learn the basics of Federal and state tax credits,deductions and refunds which are powerful tools to help lift people out of poverty. Each year, thousands fail to use all the credits to which they are entitled! Immigrant families may be particularly likely to miss using their credits.

Learn how the tax credits and tax loans (Refund Anticipation Loans) work and how to refer your clients to the right places for FREE tax assistance. Get valuable resources and information.

This year, there will be video conferencing to 14 greater Minnesota locations on January 19. In February, a DVD of the video conference will be available to agencies and organizations for staff development throughout the year.

Presented by the Legal Aid Society of Minneapolis, Children’s Defense Fund – Minnesota, and University of Minnesota Extension Service with additional support from the MN Department of Human Services, Office of Economic Opportunity and MN Community Action Association.
