The federal government eliminated the child fitness tax credit in 2017. As such, tax receipts are no longer issued for our dance programming. We are aware dance families may qualify for alternate tax credits. We remind all dance families to save the payment receipts they receive for their payments to use for their own personal tax records as no official tax receipts will be issued.
