TurboTax uses the State of California's requirements for CalEITC in its California program.
According to the California Earned Income Tax Credit and Young Child Tax Credit page, to qualify for CalEITC, a taxpayer must:
- Have taxable earned income
- Have a valid social security number or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) for you, your spouse, and any qualifying children
- Not use “married/RDP filing separate” if married
- Live in California for more than half the year
Earned income can be from:
- W-2 wages
- Self-employment
- Salaries, tips
- Other employee wages subject to California withholding
You can see the computation in 2020 Instructions for Form FTB 3514.
