California Earned Income Tax Credit or CalEITC program offers support for low-income, working residents of California. You might be eligible to receive up to $3,417 cash back or tax reduction. Diaro AS revealed the 2023 CalEITC payment will be distributed to working Californians. The payment will be distributed as a tax credit in either a refund on taxes paid or a deduction on taxes owed.
