Leverage Your Child!

Did you know that there are tax credits for Junior’s video immersion day camp and Hilda’s after-school Sanskrit lessons until  they turn 13 years young?

You can save up to $2,100  per year on $6,000 of qualifying expenses (the exact amount depends on your income, the number of children, whether your spouse works, and the rest of your tax return).
