This webinar discusses strategies to help transition-age youth access the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC). For the 2022 tax season, the EITC is expanded to include foster youth age 18 and homeless youth age 19 and older. In 2019-20, the CalEITC was expanded from $400 million to $1 billion. This followed the expansion of eligibility to include transition-age youth without dependents, means many transition-age youth now qualify for the CalEITC. Webinar presenters include the California Franchise Tax Board, Santa Clara County Social Services Agency, and Law Foundation of Silicon Valley.
