State Tax Credit Puts Cash into the Pockets of California’s Most Vulnerable Transition-Age Youth

Jan 23, 2019
This webinar discusses the recent changes to the California Earned Income Tax Credit, also known as the CalEITC. The CalEITC recently became more available to transition-age youth (TAY), and can provide crucial supplemental income to some of the most vulnerable TAY. This webinar reviews the recent legislative changes to the CalEITC, eligibility criteria for the CalEITC, and tax filing scenarios. It also addresses concerns that foster youth, students, immigrants, homeless youth, youth in juvenile hall, or youth sharing custody of dependents may have. Lastly, it outlines some specific strategies that providers can use to support TAY in filing their taxes, to assuage any tax filing fear, and to raise awareness among TAY of the benefits of filing taxes.
