Free Tax Help
The 2018 tax season is now over, but we look forward to serving your tax needs for 2019. Check back in January 2020 for updates on free tax preparation sites and how to apply for tax credit programs that may help you earn more money back.
Get More Money Back: Apply for Tax Credits
Check with your tax preparer or the websites below about your eligibility to get back:
- Up to $500 from the San Francisco Working Families Credit (WFC)
- Up to $6,400 from the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
- Up to $2,900 from the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC)
- Up to $2,000 from the Child Tax Credit (CTC)
Note: the IRS website has not been updated to reflect 2018's tax year amount of $2,000 for each eligible qualifying child and that the child must have been under age 17 on Dec. 31, 2018.
These tax credits do not count as income. They will not affect your eligibility for HSA programs like CalWORKs, CalFresh, or disability.
