Tax Time Thursdays

The Center on Budget & Policy Priorities is hosting Tax Time Thursdays every other week throughout this tax season. This learning series will focus on outreach strategies for reaching underserved and marginalized communities who may be eligible for tax credits. Sessions will include brief presentations and extended time for participants to ask questions and share their experiences.  

Sessions will explore strategies to reach seniors, people with disabilities, people experiencing homelessness, Native communities, rural communities, and people who were formerly incarcerated. Partners working with these communities will share their insights, best practices, and unique experiences.
