What is the California EITC Age limit?

[DawnC0 · Accepted solution]

You may qualify for California Earned Income Credit (CalEITC) if:

• You’re at least 18 years old or have a qualifying child
• You have earned income within certain limits

A qualifying child or dependent must meet three criteria:

1. Relationship – They must be the taxpayer’s child or stepchild (whether by blood or adoption), foster child, sibling or step-sibling, or a descendant of any of them.
2. Residence – Has the same principal residence as the taxpayer in California for more than half the tax year.  Certain exceptions apply.
3. Age – They must be younger than the taxpayer and either a) under the age of 19 at the end of the tax year, or b) under the age of 24 if a full-time student for at least 5 months of the year. A permanently and totally disabled child may be included at any age.
