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.
