MORE INFORMATIONFEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT
The Federal and California Earned Income Tax Credits (Cal EITC) are cash-back tax credits for working people that provide a critical boost in income. Free Tax Help Bay Area ensures that all of our clients access these credits, along with California’s Young Child Tax Credit which is available to working Californians with young children.
In 2022, the Cal EITC and Young Child Tax Credit will be available to all eligible working Californians, including younger workers, those over 65, and those filing a tax return with an ITIN. California residents who made less than $30,000 in 2021 may be eligible for up to $8,000 in state and federal tax credits, depending on income and family size.
