It’s important that you’re able to stay warm in your home! Applications are available for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This program can help you keep warm and safe during this time of year by helping with your heating bill. For more information on this program and to apply, contact my office at 570-420-2850 or visit here.

Reminder to file your taxes

The deadline to file your taxes is April 15 and I wanted to remind you of a state program that I voted to expand: the state’s Child/Dependent Care Enhancement Tax Credit. This credit can help reduce your expenses for child and dependent care. This credit ranges from $600 to $2,100 and will match the federal amount 100%. Check here for more information.

Direct file now available

Save hundreds of dollars by using Direct File to file your state and federal taxes online. Check here for more information.
