Earn Income Tax Credit (EITC)
What is EITC?
This is a tax benefit for low to moderate income working people, which provides credit that offset any taxes owed and can provide a refund even if no taxes are owed. Workers must file a tax return to take advantage. To see how much you may get back, click here. For more information on CalEITC, please visit www.myfreetaxes.com or www.caleitc4me.org.
