ShareThisNew research finds California will miss out on more than one billion because an estimated 800,000 eligible Californians will neglect to claim over $1.2 billion in federal Earn Income Tax Credit (EITC) dollars this tax season, according to the new report Left on the Table, published through a collaboration between the New America Foundation and economists at California State University at Fresno.
During the 2009 tax season, United Way’s Earn It! Keep It! Save It! helped taxpayers in seven Bay Area counties claim $4.5 million in EITC, but we’ve apparently got a long way to go to reach more eligible taxpayers.
