Helping low- and moderate-income individuals and families receive tax credits and refunds, that's how I "LIVE UNITED." Brenda Brame, Kent County Tax Credit Coalition Coordinator

Kent County Tax Credit Coalition

Kent County Tax Credit Coalition

The Kent County Tax Credit Coalition (KCTCC) helps low-to-moderate income individuals and families complete income tax returns and apply for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. On average, a family of four making $41,646 or less in 2007 will earn $4,824 back in tax credits.

Many families use the credits to pay bills, pay off high-interest credit cards or make a down payment on a home. There is no charge for the program. The program runs from the end of January through April 15 – need more details? Call United Way’s 2-1-1 anytime.
