California: Governor Newsom proclaims CalEITC Awareness Week

~ Sacramento - Governor Gavin Newsom has officially declared January 30, 2026 through February 6, 2026 as CalEITC Awareness Week. This proclamation aims to bring attention to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and its effectiveness in lifting working families and their children out of poverty.

The EITC is a crucial tool in providing immediate financial support to families in need, while also improving child and maternal health and educational outcomes. In California, the state has taken further steps by creating its own California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) and promoting more equitable access to it. Along with the Young Child Tax Credit and Foster Youth Tax Credit, these programs have put $1.4 billion back into the pockets of nearly 3.5 million California filers.

Governor Newsom is committed to reaching all eligible hardworking families in order to set up future generations for success. He encourages all Californians to check if they qualify for these important supports by visiting ftb.ca.gov/caleitc.
