Beware of IRS Phone Scams

The IRS doesn't initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information. Check out the latest tax scams and consumer alerts from the IRS.

Earned Income Tax Credit

The earned income tax credit provides millions of working families with additional resources to make ends meet. Families eligible for the credit can also receive up to $1,083 more by claiming the new Young Child Tax Credit.  See if you qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Young Child Tax Credit at ftb.ca.gov.
