¡Crédito de Impuestos de Ingreso ayuda a trabajadores de bajos ingresos!

Querido amigo/a,

Tú puedes recibir hasta $2706 más en rembolsos este ano en tus impuestos si calificas para el Crédito de Impuestos de Ingreso.

 En su primer año, el programa, CalEITC subió el ingreso de aproximadamente 385,000 familias, quienes compartían casi $200 millones del rembolso.

El Crédito de Impuestos de Ingreso de California (EITC) está disponible para familias trabajadoras de bajo ingresos e individuales. Además del programa federal de EITC, el EITC del estado pondrá más dinero en las bolsas de aquellos que lo ocupen más.

Debes someter tus impuestos para recibir el crédito. Para aprender más o averiguar si calificas, visita mi página de internet https://a65.asmdc.org o llama a mi oficina al 310-324-6408.

California is offering an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for working low-income families and individuals. In addition to the federal EITC, the new state Earned Income Tax Credit will put more money in the pockets of those who need it most.

If you qualify for the CA EITC and the amount of the credit is greater than the tax you owe, you will receive a refund.

The state Earned Income Tax Credit is available to California households with adjusted gross incomes of less than $6,717 if there are no qualifying children, less than $10,087 if there is one qualifying child or less than $14,161 if there are two or more qualifying children. See below for more qualifications.

Qualifications:

• You must file a state tax return, even if you do not owe any tax or are not otherwise required to file.
• You must have earned income from W-2 wages, salaries, tips, or other employee compensation subject to California withholding. (For the CA EITC, earned income does not include income from self-employment.)
• You, your spouse, and any qualifying children must each have a social security number issued by the Social Security Administration that is valid for employment.
• You must file using the single, married/registered domestic partner (RDP) filing jointly, or head of household filing status. The “married/RDP filing separately” status may not be used.
• You must either:
  • Meet the rules for those without a qualifying child ; or
  • Have an individual that meets all of the qualifying child rules for you or your spouse if you file a joint return.
• Your principal residence must be in California for more than half the tax year.

Red-Ribbon Week is a valuable program that educates grade school students about the dangers of substance abuse, both legal and illegal substances, and the damage it can cause to them, as well as to their families and friends. It is so important that we encourage kids at an early age to live a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

This year, Red-Ribbon Week takes place from October 23 through October 29. There will be activities in the schools listed below and communities throughout the Assembly District from October 23 through October 29. If you would like to participate in this important effort, contact my office at (310) 324-6408 and we will get you the information. And remember, my office will also have certificates and bookmarks available for this effort.
