What is the CA Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC)?
The California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) offers support for low-income, working Californians. You may be eligible for up to $3,417 cash back or a reduction of the tax you owe.
The CalEITC is a cashback tax credit that puts money back into the pockets of California workers.
In its first year, the CalEITC boosted the income of about 385,000 families, who shared almost $200 million from the cashback credit.
In 2019, more than 2 million people claimed the credit, totaling close to $395 million.
