Don’t Miss Out: Up to $1,290 in Tax Refunds for Eligible Families!

Scholar Fund and organizations across the state have been working alongside the Washington State Department of Commerce and Department of Revenue to get information out about the Working Families Tax Credit! The Working Families Tax Credit will provide payments up to $1,290 for tax year 2024 to individuals and families who meet the requirements. This tax credit is unique because it includes ITIN holders, opening up this application to thousands more taxpayers in Washington state. Individuals and families are eligible if they meet all the requirements.
