CLAIM YOUR CASH BACK REFUND. CLAIM WHAT IS YOURS.

If you are low-to-moderate income and worked, you may be eligible for the Federal and State of California Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC). The Federal EITC is a refundable credit available to low-to-moderate income individuals and families that is worth up to $6,935. The CalEITC is worth up to an additional $3,417. That’s a lot of money back in your pocket!

 

In previous years, nearly 1 million Los Angeles County residents received an EITC refund.

It is estimated that almost 330,750 did not apply for the EITC -- leaving almost $580 million on the table.
