I filed my taxes for 2020 and made under 30k but I didn't realize I needed to file the eitc. If I didn't file for that credit will I still receive the 600$.

The $600 sounds like you are talking about the Recovery Rebate Credit which you can claim on your tax return if you did not get your stimulus payment.   The EITC is the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is different from the Stimulus - Recovery Rebate Credit.   If you qualify for either of those but did not claim them on your tax return, you will need to file an amendment once your original return gets processed.    The amendment form will be ready at the end of March.  

 

What are the qualifications for the Earned Income Credit (EIC or EITC)?

 

How do I claim the Recovery Rebate Credit in TurboTax?

Keep in mind that the Golden state stimulus was only just approved Monday, February 22, 2021 by the California state legislature. However, their website has not yet updated because the governor has not signed the legislation into law as of this writing.

 

If you would like to verify your eligibility, check your qualifications at: California Earned Income Tax Credit and Young Child Tax Credit
