Young Child Tax Credit

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 $1,154 through the Young Child Tax Credit! If you qualify, you may see a reduced tax bill or a bigger refund.

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. 

*Qualifying children must be under 6 years of age as of December 31, 2024.
