If you haven’t done so yet, be sure to file your taxes before the May 17th deadline. Families could get monthly payments of up to $300 per child as part of the American Rescue Plan. MS Congressman Bennie Thompson is encouraging families to file, even if there are no earnings to report, because the IRS needs information from tax returns to calculate and issue monthly payments.
