Young Child Tax Credit

Provide more for what matters most.

Do you have a child under the age of 6?*

If you qualify for CalEITC and have a child under the age of 6, you may also qualify for a refundable tax credit of up to $1000 through the Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC)! If you qualify, you may see a reduced tax bill or a bigger refund.

Use this calculator to see if you qualify and estimate the amount of your credit!

Filing your state tax return is required to claim both the CalEITC and the YCTC. Tax filers with an ITIN – Individual Tax Identification Number –  including undocumented workers, may now qualify for the CalEITC and the Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC). 

*Qualifying children must be under 6 years of age as of December 31, 2022.
