Free Tax Help Working Families Credit (WFC)
The 2021 WFC application deadline was April 18, 2022
If you applied and were eligible for the credit, you'll receive your WFC payment by late September 2022.
Apply for next year’s WFC starting in January 2023
The WFC Program offers up to $250 a year to families who qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC). Families that qualify for both can get up to $9,600.
Remember - you can use an ITIN to apply for WFC:
Immigrants without Social Security numbers can apply for WFC if they qualify for CalEITC using their Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). If you meet the eligibility requirements next year, please apply in 2023 after you file your tax return.
