ALERT: It’s not too late to file your 2021 taxes. Don’t miss out on new CT Child Tax Rebate!

EVEN THOUGH THE TRADITIONAL TAX DEADLINE HAS PASSED, YOU CAN STILL CLAIM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN TAX REBATES!

Connecticut enacted a new Connecticut Child Tax Rebate for income eligible families for 2022. Families can apply starting on June 1, through July 31, 2022 to receive the rebate of up to $250 per child for a maximum of three children. Visit the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services website for more details on the rebate and how to apply, if eligible.

Nearly 50,000 families in Connecticut have not received federal Child Tax Rebate or Stimulus payments. Since most ALICE families are eligible for the full Child Tax Rebate amount ($3,000 per child aged 6–17 and $3,600 per child aged 5 and under), more than $147 million in rebates can still be accessed by families in Connecticut.

The NEW Connecticut Child Tax Rebate provides $250 per-child tax rebate, for up to three children, for lower and middle earning families. Qualifying households include single tax filers with children with income less than $100,000 and couples filing jointly with children with income less than $200,000. The state will use 2021 tax filings to deliver payments to qualifying families this fall.
