Confused About Taxes as a Kinship Caregiver? You’re Not Alone!

Tax season can raise important questions for kinship caregivers — especially about who may claim a child, what tax credits might apply, and what documents are needed when filing.

Join us for an informational webinar where we will share general guidance on common tax topics relevant to kinship families and connect caregivers to trusted tax preparation resources.

This session is designed to provide helpful information and increase confidence – not individualized tax advice.

What You’ll Learn:

• General IRS guidelines for claiming a child
• Common tax credits kinship caregivers may qualify for
• Helpful documents to gather before filing
• Where to access free or low-cost tax preparation services
• Questions to consider asking a tax professional
