CalEITC4Me is a public-private partnership to spread awareness of the first-ever state Earned Income Tax Credit to put more money into the pockets of hundreds of thousands of Californians.

CalEITC4Me’s goals are to ensure that the entire $295 million allocated by the state for the CalEITC reaches eligible families and that more people file for the federal EITC. The majority of Californians eligible for the EITC are single, women and working part time.  The economic impact of this program will be profound, adding hundreds of millions of dollars to the state’s economy in income, business sales, new jobs, and tax revenue. Add to that the $1.8 billion previously unclaimed federal EITC, and an estimated $2.3 billion is available for Californians.
