The media company that claims to take on tough political and social challenges and find ways to propel them toward present and future solutions, United Ways of California calls attention to the fact that “Millions of working families in California are eligible for billions of dollars in state and federal tax credits this year, for having children.
Now that the deadline to file your taxes with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is approaching, he says, you must file your annual tax return no later than April 18. Because “any delay could prevent those crucial funds from reaching you or the families and individuals who need them most.”
United Ways of California He maintains that the IRS is currently behind six million unprocessed 2021 returns, “a number much higher than the typical annual million.”
Simultaneously, 60 percent of providers cannot afford enough food for their families if they do not receive those payments or child tax credits. For this reason, “any delay in your declaration means that you will no longer be able to pay food or rent, nor cover other additional expenses on a daily basis.”
Tax Credits
- The California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) ranges from $255 to just over $3,000; and is available to families and individuals with incomes up to $30 million a year.
- CalEITC-eligible taxpayers who have a child under the age of 6 can apply for the Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC), which provides up to $1,000 per child.
- The second half of the federal Child Tax Credit (CTC) is now available, but you can only claim this credit if your family files a 2022 tax return, regardless of whether they earned income the previous year.
- Families or individuals caring for children under the age of 18 who have not yet filed their taxes can still claim the full CTC: families can receive up to $3,600 per child under the age of 6 and $3,000 for children between the ages of 6 and 17. .
- Californians are also eligible for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) of up to $6,728 if they earned less than $57,414 annually.
