Get your taxes done using TurboTax

This wasn’t a credit that was available on your federal or California state return, and there’s nothing for you to enter on your federal or state tax return.  

Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) was a grant program that provided eligible California homeowners up to $3,000 towards residential seismic retrofits.

As a grant program, it wasn’t a credit that a taxpayer could claim to offset tax.  

The window for participation in the Earthquake Brace + Bolt program has closed.  Please see the Brace + Bolt Program link in the state’s Earthquake Recovery site for more information.  

As MaryK1101 suggests above, if these changes were made to your personal residence, you can add them to the basis of the home.  Permit fees would be included.
