SB 624: Nonminor dependents: tax guidance.

This bill, known as the Foster Outreach and Support for Tax Education Readiness Act, requires the state to issue guidance to county welfare departments and juvenile probation departments on how to support nonminor dependents in filing state and federal income tax returns and accessing the foster youth tax credit. The guidance must be updated every two years and include information on eligibility, maximum credit, outreach strategies, and local resources. County welfare departments and juvenile probation departments must annually send information about filing taxes and the foster youth tax credit to every nonminor dependent, including local volunteer income tax assistance providers. This bill imposes a state-mandated local program and does not require reimbursement for certain costs.
