Do you hate to file taxes but like to get a refund? Tax season is upon us and we want you to know that there are resources available to help you file your taxes for free and get a tax credit/refund. We know that families with low incomes were hit the hardest by the pandemic and tax credits are one important way to get money back to you to help you through this crisis--and beyond.
There are a couple points we want to share with you:
-
Even if you didn’t earn a lot in 2020, you can still file and get money back. You can also get money back for previous tax years.
- Workers who made under about $50,000 (depends on number of children) are eligible for the federal ETIC, and under $30,000 for the California EITC.
-
You can get free, IRS-certified support for filing your taxes. You can file taxes for free, get remote assistance, or find sites for in-person assistance and drop off at https://www.myfreetaxes.org or for local help https://uwba.org/tax-help/ or https://www.getyourrefund.org/en.
-
Workers with ITINs (Individual Tax Payer Identification Numbers) instead of Social Security Numbers are eligible for the first time for the California EITC and the Young Child Tax Credit!
-
With federal and state EITC refunds, you can receive as much as $8,000—and the average refund is around $3,000.
If you have trouble navigating the online sites, please feel free to call 211 and they can help direct you to an organization that will provide assistance. If you want to learn more about the EITC, First 5 Contra Costa has dedicated a corner of its website to EITC that is in both English and Spanish.
Thanks – we hope you will take advantage of these resources and get the refund that is yours!
The deadline to file is April 15, 2021. It's your money; make sure you get it!

¿Odia presentar sus impuestos, pero le gusta obtener un reembolso? La temporada de impuestos ya está encima de nosotros y queremos que sepa que hay recursos disponibles para ayudarle a presentar sus impuestos de forma gratuita y obtener un crédito/reembolso de impuestos. Sabemos que las familias con bajos ingresos fueron las más afectadas por la pandemia y los créditos de impuestos son una forma importante de recuperar el dinero para ayudarle a superar esta crisis y mucho más.
Hay un par de puntos que queremos compartir con usted:
-
Incluso si usted no ganó mucho en el 2020, todavía puede presentar sus impuestos y recuperar dinero que le reembolsen. También puede recuperar dinero de años fiscales anteriores.
- Los trabajadores que hicieron por debajo de $50,000 (depende del número de niños) son elegibles para el ETIC federal, y menos de $30,000 para el EITC de California.
-
Puede obtener apoyo gratuito certificado por el IRS para presentar sus impuestos. Puede presentar impuestos de forma gratuita, obtener asistencia remota o encontrar sitios de asistencia en persona y entrar a https://www.myfreetaxes.org o para obtener ayuda local https://uwba.org/tax-help/ o https://www.getyourrefund.org/es
-
¡Los trabajadores con ITIN (Números de Identificación Personal del Contribuyente) en lugar de los números de seguro social son elegibles por primera vez para el EITC de California y el Crédito Tributario para Niños Pequeños!
-
Con los reembolsos federales y estatales del EITC, usted puede recibir tanto como $8,000, y el reembolso promedio es de alrededor de $3,000.
Si tiene problemas para navegar por los sitios en línea, por favor no dude en llamar al 211 donde pueden ayudarle con dirigirlo a una organización que le proporcionará asistencia. Si quiere obtener más información sobre el EITC, lo Primeros 5 de Contra Costa ha dedicado un rincón de su página web a EITC que se encuentra tanto en inglés como en español.
Gracias – ¡esperamos que aproveche estos recursos y obtenga el reembolso que es suyo!
La fecha límite para declarar es el 15 de abril de 2021. Es su dinero, ¡consígalo!
