Like Elsa, thousands of low-income New Yorkers pay taxes, but get little aid in return

Elsa is one of thousands of immigrants who are paying taxes every year, but are receiving far less than what their counterparts filing taxes with social security are in child tax credits. With the Working Families Tax Credit, ALL low-income and middle-income New York families will receive an even bigger, better tax credit.
New Yorkers are struggling with the high cost of living. Currently, the wealthiest New Yorkers and corporations are paying less in taxes than hard-working poor, working, and middle class New Yorkers. By making some changes to our tax code, we can give economically burdened workers and families cash to pay for what they need - food, rent, utilities, child care, and more. The Working Families Tax Credit makes our tax code more fair and ensures families can make ends meet. Learn more about the #WFTC at www.nyic.org/our-work/campaigns/the-ny-working-families-tax-credit/
