KEEP MORE OF YOUR
HARD-EARNED
MONEY
EARN IT. KEEP IT. SAVE IT.
If you worked in 2020 and your household income was less than $57,000, you may qualify for cash-back tax credits that can increase your refund. The expanded California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC), along with the federal EITC and the Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC), can result in hundreds or even thousands of extra dollars in your pocket. You must file your taxes to claim the credits.
NEW for 2020 tax returns: The CalEITC has been expanded to tax filers who use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
Don’t qualify for EITC?
Not to worry, you may still be able to file for free if your income is less than $60,000.
