EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT
Know it!
You may qualify for a cash back tax credit!
Did you know there’s a new California tax
credit for working families?
It’s called the California Earned Income Tax
Credit (CalEITC) and it’s modeled after a
federal credit that also gives back money
to working families.
With the combined credits, you can get
up to $6,000. That’s money you can use
for rent, utilities, groceries, and other
important expenses.

The amount of the cash back tax credit
depends on your income and your
family size.
To get your cash back tax credit, simply
file your 2015 state and federal tax
returns. We’ll even help you file!
To qualify for at least one of the two
cash back credits, your 2015 wages
must be less than $54,000. The number
of “qualifying children” you support
also impacts your credit amount.
Don’t pay to have your taxes prepared
when you can visit one of the local
tax assistance sites and have them
prepared for free while you wait!
Visit CalEITC4Me.org where you can:
• Get more information about
“qualifying child” requirements.
• Use the credit calculator to find
out how much your “cash back”
tax credits are worth!
Friendly IRS certified volunteers at
more than 1,000 tax preparation sites
across California are available to help
you file your taxes in person.

free tax assistance near you that will
help you get your cash back tax credit.
