The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Get Ahead Colorado statewide awareness campaign will send text messages later this week to Coloradans to connect them to free tax support and information about the Child Tax Credit, Colorado Family Affordability Tax Credit, and Earned Income Tax Credit. The campaign will deliver two different messages. The first audience is individuals who are likely eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, including those who earn up to $65,000. The second audience is parents and caregivers who earn up to $65,000 and have dependent children under 17 years old. These individuals are likely eligible for the Child Tax Credit and Colorado Family Affordability Tax Credit. Messages focus on informing Coloradans that they may be eligible for these credits and connecting them to free tax services so they can receive their credits.
The text will read as follows:
Earned Income Tax Credit (individuals earning up to $65,000) – Hi, it’s Get Ahead Colorado. Just by filing your taxes, you may have a refund waiting for you with the Earned Income Tax Credit. Learn more at GetAheadColorado.org.
Child Tax Credits (parents or caregivers who earn up to $65,000 and have dependent children under 17) – Hi, it’s Get Ahead Colorado. If you have children, you might be eligible for a larger tax refund. Use our tax credit calculator to find out. Get started at GetAheadColorado.org.
