KANSAS CITY— Vice President Kamala Harris will make a virtual stop in Kansas City Tuesday.
According to a social media statement from Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, he will discuss how Kansas City government is helping thousands of Kansas City families access federal support through the Child Tax Credit in a virtual meeting with the Vice President.
The event is part of the Biden administration's outreach campaign to get millions of families to file their taxes so they can receive the second half of payments from the expanded child tax credit.
Vice President Kamala Harris, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and White House senior adviser Gene Sperling are hosting the virtual event to encourage people to send their tax forms to the IRS. Administration officials estimate $193 billion would go to 58 million eligible households that file taxes.
This means families would receive credits on their taxes or refunds averaging $3,330 from this provision.
