<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Per the Earned Income Tax Credit Information Act, UC includes a notice with all Form W-2 statements notifying employees that they may be eligible for the federal EITC. This is a benefit for working
people with low to moderate-income. To qualify, you must <a href="https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/use-the-eitc-assistant">
meet certain requirements</a> and file a tax return, even if you do not owe any tax or are not required to file. EITC reduces the amount of tax you owe and may give you a refund. For more information about the federal EITC, reference
<a href="https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/n797.pdf">IRS Notice 797<span class="file-type"><span style="color:blue">PDF</span></span></a> or contact the Internal Revenue Service at (800) 829-3676 or via

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">You also may be eligible to receive the California EITC, starting with the 2015 tax year. The California EITC is a refundable state income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families.
It is treated in the same manner as the federal EITC and generally will not be used to determine eligibility for welfare benefits under California law. To claim the California EITC, even if you do not owe California taxes, you must file a California income
tax return and complete and attach the California EITC Form (FTB 3514). For information on the availability of the credit, eligibility, how to obtain necessary forms and help filing, contact the Franchise Tax Board at (800) 852-5711 or via
