ATCAA is proud to be a partner of the CalEITC outreach team. Every year, millions of dollars are left on the table because residents didn't know about the credit, or didn't know how to access the credit. Last year, over $750,000 CalEITC dollars came back into our foothill communities to those who need it most. This credit is proven to lift Californians out of poverty and strengthen our local economy.
