Have you heard of the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC)? It’s a relatively new tax credit, and is similar to the Earned Income Tax Credit that the federal government provides. In the first year, the CalEITC provided almost $200 million to about 385,000 families throughout California, according to the CalEITC4me website.
In fact, the website has an EITC Calculator you can use to see if you’re eligible and how much money you could receive. Click here to use it.
