Please see this message from the National Outreach Campaign for Tax Benefits:
You could be eligible for federal tax benefits by filing a federal tax return. If you have not filed taxes in 2022, you should file to claim your money as soon as possible. You can file even if you have low income or no income, have never filed taxes, and/or have not filed in the last few years.
Apply by November 15 with a simple form at GetCTC.org
Who is eligible?
You can use GetCTC to file for benefits if, in 2021, you and your spouse:
-Earned less than $25,100 in total income
-Earned less than $400 in contract work or self-employment income
-Did not receive the Advance Premium Tax Credit
-Are not required to file a full tax return for any other reason

-Up to $3,600 per child with the 2021 Child Tax Credit,
-Any missed stimulus payments for you and your children/dependents- up to $1,400 per person

Does this money count for benefits I get?
This money does not count for most benefits, like SNAP, WIC, TANF, MEDICAID, CHIP, SSI, and most types of public and subsidized housing.
What if I am an immigrant?
Even if you do NOT have a Social Security Number, you can get payments for your children who have Social Security Numbers. Under current law, receiving the Child Tax Credit or other tax credits will not affect your immigration status, ability to get a Green Card, or future immigration plans.
Had a baby in 2020 or 2021? You should sign up!
Did you get monthly money from the IRS in 2021 for your kids ($250 or $300 per month per child)? Sign up again in 2022 to get the rest of your money.

Beebe Early Childhood | Guest Speaker
Yesterday, our own Ms. Shelby Tacker, 1st Grade teacher, spoke to a group of Harding University students at the request of her former professor! Each year, Mrs. White asks a first year teacher to speak to her class of future teachers about the joys and challenges of being a teacher. Ms. Woechan and Ms. Allman, also part of the 1st grade teacher team at BEC, shared information as well and were great supporters for the Harding students! We are so proud of our teachers and their willingness to help prepare the next generation of educators! #BPRD
