Reminder: The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit deadline is next week!
If you paid for child or dependent care in 2024, you could get up to $2,100 back even if you owe no taxes, thanks to Governor Shapiro's expanded tax credit.
If you have kids, read to them during #NationalReadingMonth!
Use voices. Get into character. Have fun.
Give them a joy of reading that will spark their incredible imaginations.
