Tax day has come and gone, but New Jersey residents can still claim thousands of dollars in expanded state and federal tax credits that have helped to lift some out of poverty during the pandemic.
Those who are eligible can still claim the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit even if they didn’t file a return on April 18, according to New Jersey Citizen Action and United Way of Northern New Jersey.
The two organizations held a virtual press conference Wednesday alongside New Jersey Treasurer Elizabeth Muoio and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, D-Woodbridge.
