Governor Gavin Newsom has officially proclaimed CalEITC Awareness Week to take place from January 26, 2024, to February 2, 2024. This proclamation emphasizes California’s dedication to extending vital financial assistance to all eligible working families and children.
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is widely acknowledged as a powerful tool in the battle against poverty, providing substantial benefits to working families and their children. Governor Newsom’s proclamation underscores the state’s commitment to ensuring that all eligible hardworking families receive the support they require through the EITC and related programs, thereby contributing to the overall success and well-being of children.
California has not only implemented its own version of the EITC, known as the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC), but has also made significant efforts to improve the program’s accessibility. In the previous year, CalEITC offered additional assistance to nearly 3.5 million California filers, providing a vital financial boost to help meet essential requirements and assist families.
Research shows that the EITC not only gives families a much-needed income boost but also has a significant impact on the health and educational outcomes of children in recipient households. The benefits of CalEITC go beyond just providing economic relief, as they contribute to the overall well-being and future success of young people in California.
California demonstrates its dedication to equity by broadening the scope of CalEITC, the Young Child Tax Credit, and the Foster Youth Tax Credit to encompass immigrant families who file their taxes using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN). This inclusive expansion guarantees that even individuals who are ineligible for many federal tax advantages can still avail themselves of these crucial financial aids.
