I encourage you to get your taxes filed for FREE this year!  Volunteer Income Tax Assistance or VITA is a volunteer-supported program, that helps people making up to $68,000 annually file federal and state income tax preparation for FREE.

              Know the Difference:  CT Paid Leave and Paid Sick Leave

Reminder: CT Paid Leave and paid sick leave are similar but different policies that provide support to workers. Workers utilize CT Paid Leave to recover from or care for a loved one with a serious health condition, such as cancer treatment or surgery.  To assist in navigating the differences, see the resource below or linked here.
