The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) announces that the Get Ahead Colorado statewide awareness campaign will send text messages this week to Coloradans to connect them to free tax support and information about the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The campaign will deliver two different messages to two priority audiences. 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 16 years old. These individuals are likely eligible for the Child 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 {firstName}, it’s Get Ahead Colorado. The Earned Income Tax Credit can give you a tax refund of up to $6,935. Don’t miss out! File your tax return today, for free, at getaheadcolorado.org
