TAX CREDIT INFORMATION UPDATE!
Did you know California has a tax credit for working families and individuals?
It’s called the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) and it is modeled after the federal credit.
What is the CalEITC?
The California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) is a cash-back refund and California’s supplemental boost to the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. Research suggests the credit leads to long-term positive outcomes in health, financial stability, and education for working Californians. This week, we celebrate the power of CalEITC and call on community leaders across the state to help us connect even more eligible Californians to the credit, including those in San Luis Obispo County].
What is its impact?
More than 4 million Californians making $30,000 or less may be eligible for the credit in tax filing year 2022. Unlike the federal tax credit, CalEITC is eligible to both qualifying households filing with Social Security Numbers as well as with Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs).
With up to $3,417 from the CalEITC in tax filing year 2022 — and an additional $1,083 from the Young Child Tax Credit to qualifying households with children — hardworking Californians can use their life-changing cash-back refunds to do anything from paying bills and buying groceries, to paying down debt and getting on a path to financial stability.
Money back in your pocket from tax credits like #CalEITC can feel empowering when you’ve worked hard for what you’ve earned!
