CalEITC
Website:
http://caleitc4me.orgCalEITC is a California tax credit program established in 2015 by Governor Brown and the California Legislature that puts money directly back in the hands of qualifying low-income families, with or without children, to use for their most immediate needs. CalEITC can increase an overall tax refund, or if taxes are owed, can reduce the taxes owed and possibly provide a refund.
California taxpayers who meet specific income and other eligibility criteria qualify for CalEITC.
According to the CalEITC4me website, individuals may be eligible for the CalEITC if:
- They have within certain limits (see specific income link), AND
- They, their spouse, and any each have a social security number (SSN), AND
- They do not use the “married/RDP filing separate” filing status, AND
- They lived in California for more than half the tax year, AND
- They must be 18 or older at the end of the tax year
- CalEITC4me also has an easy-to-use EITC calculator criteria to help determine eligibility.
