Maryland Comptroller Announces Effort to Increase Adoption of Earned Income, Child Tax Credits

The Maryland Comptroller announced a new initiative on July 17 to increase the uptake of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC) among eligible Marylanders. Preliminary findings identified barriers, including a lack of information, difficulty accessing tax preparation services, and fear of owing money or incurring penalties. The campaign will focus on targeted outreach, providing free tax filing support, and educating residents about tax credits and the filing process. [Md. Comptroller, News Release, 07/17/25]
