California Governor, we agree that the #CalEITC is one of the greatest anti-poverty programs in the state. California must continue to protect these programs, maintain $20M for #FreeTaxPrepPays and outreach, and protect the Safety Net in #CABudget .
In 2023 alone, CA households saved $38 MILLION in paid tax prep fees by getting their taxes done at a VITA site 💸💸 Better yet, VITA volunteers have a 94% accuracy rate! The proof is in the numbers: #FreeTaxPrepPays
