The expanded California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC), the Young Child Tax Credit and the federal EITC can combine to put hundreds or even thousands of extra dollars in your pocket.

If you have low income and work, you may qualify for CalEITC; if you qualify and have a child under age 6, you may also qualify for the Young Child Tax Credit. Find information about both, including a tool to calculate what you would receive, click here. For information about the federal EITC, go to irs.gov/eitc.
