The fees vary widely based on the type of project and city — ranging from \u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/development-fees\">as low as $12,000 per unit to as high as $157,000 per unit\u003c/a>.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Erik Schoennauer, land use consultant\"]‘The city should create a master list of all potential fees, anything conceivable.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These can be really, really high costs that can make or break the math on a development,” said Sean Roberts, a developer and CEO of Villa Homes. “These fees create a barrier to actually getting homes built, and that’s not good for anybody right now in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutionality of these fees was recently challenged in the Supreme Court. Last week, the court unanimously ruled that cities should have to demonstrate the fees they are charging are reasonable. But, they left it to lower courts to decide what counts as a reasonable fee. Meaning, there won’t be any immediate changes to how much cities are charging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, a slate of bills is making its way through the legislature. None of the bills would actually reduce these fees. That’s because doing so would require tackling a much thornier question of how to make up for cities’ lost revenue. Instead, these bills aim to address other issues that developers have with the fees: that they don’t often know going into a project how much the fees will cost and that they are often due before projects even break ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11981595,news_11945744,news_11980019\" label=\"Related Stories\"]SB 937 would make payment due only once people are actually living in the new housing. AB 2144, authored by Assemblymember Timothy Grayson (D-Concord), and AB 1820, authored by Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo (D-Santa Clarita), would both require cities to post easily accessible information about the fees they charge. And a fifth bill, AB 1210, would cap the fees developers have to pay to connect new homes and apartment buildings to utility services, limiting the fees to 1% of the project’s estimated value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the cost of materials, labor and interest rates continue to soar, legislators see these changes as one of the last remaining levers they can pull to reduce the cost of construction and spur development across the state. And while developers generally welcome these efforts to make housing easier to build, they say there are much bigger, meatier fish to fry in the complicated politics of California housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erik Schoennauer, a land use consultant who works with developers in San Jose, said he’s been advocating for the changes the bills propose for years. As it stands, he said, “there is no one-stop location” to understand what fees are due and when.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city should create a master list of all potential fees, anything conceivable,” Schoennauer said. “It’s much harder to determine what [fees] apply when you don’t even know what the maximum list is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 2144 would require cities to post information on impact fee schedules, along with a “nexus study,” which would break down the total cost of construction on a city’s website. AB 1820 mandates cities provide an estimate of the fees developers would have to pay within 10 days of a developer filing an application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the problems surrounding fees are much deeper than a lack of transparency, Roberts said. His company specializes in constructing prefabricated granny flats and in-law units homeowners can put in their backyards. For the past few months, he’s also been working on building clusters of small homes called cottage courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11983026\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11983026\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg\" alt=\"An aerial view of a green house with a solar panel on the roof and a yard.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">While Villa Homes specializes in constructing prefabricated granny flats and in-law units, the company has started to branch out into building small and affordable single-family homes. According to Roberts, impact fees raise costs and can make these homes unaffordable. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Villa Homes)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>By design, these homes are smaller and, therefore, meant to be more affordable to purchase than a standard single-family home. But as he’s put together budget sheets for these projects, the impact fees have started to add up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact fees that we often run into in many jurisdictions don’t scale down, even though we’re building a smaller home at a lower price point,” he said. “At the end of the day, we want to get people into homes they can afford to buy and to do that on a private market without a bunch of government subsidies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 937 would push impact fees to be due once the homes are sold, but Roberts said that would only be “moving money through time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cost is still there,” he said. “It’s just going to be borne later in the project and ultimately by the [occupant].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Scott Wiener (D- San Francisco) said he authored this bill to help developers with the upfront costs of construction but acknowledged that there is a much larger conversation still to be had about how cities rationalize exorbitant fees that can kill projects while claiming to want more housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are cities where the impact fees are way too high,” he said. “They’re out of whack, and they’re harming the ability of housing to be built.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high cost of these fees was at the heart of the case that went to the Supreme Court. In 2016, contractor George Sheetz was preparing to build a small home on a vacant lot in El Dorado County, but the county charged $23,000 for a “traffic impact fee,” even though, Sheetz alleged, there was no evidence the development would lead to more traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Sheetz, saying developers have a right to challenge the constitutionality of these fees. Though the case’s fate ultimately rests in a lower court, the high court’s ruling could mean more developers will take cities to court over what Sheetz argued was “extortionate fees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The way impact fees have thus far been imposed has been arbitrary and varies widely from town to town,” Jim Wunderman, President and CEO of the Bay Area Council said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/press-releases/bay-area-council-hails-supreme-court-decision-on-costly-impact-fees/\">statement\u003c/a>. The regional business advocacy organization was one of many to submit amicus briefs in favor of Sheetz’s case. “This ruling is hopefully the first step on the path to returning some fairness in how housing and other local impact fees are charged.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities, however, rely on these fees to fund government services and city maintenance.

The fees vary widely based on the type of project and city — ranging from \u003ca href=\"https://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/development-fees\">as low as $12,000 per unit to as high as $157,000 per unit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘The city should create a master list of all potential fees, anything conceivable.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Erik Schoennauer, land use consultant","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These can be really, really high costs that can make or break the math on a development,” said Sean Roberts, a developer and CEO of Villa Homes. “These fees create a barrier to actually getting homes built, and that’s not good for anybody right now in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutionality of these fees was recently challenged in the Supreme Court. Last week, the court unanimously ruled that cities should have to demonstrate the fees they are charging are reasonable. But, they left it to lower courts to decide what counts as a reasonable fee. Meaning, there won’t be any immediate changes to how much cities are charging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, a slate of bills is making its way through the legislature. None of the bills would actually reduce these fees. That’s because doing so would require tackling a much thornier question of how to make up for cities’ lost revenue. Instead, these bills aim to address other issues that developers have with the fees: that they don’t often know going into a project how much the fees will cost and that they are often due before projects even break ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11981595,news_11945744,news_11980019","label":"Related Stories "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>SB 937 would make payment due only once people are actually living in the new housing. AB 2144, authored by Assemblymember Timothy Grayson (D-Concord), and AB 1820, authored by Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo (D-Santa Clarita), would both require cities to post easily accessible information about the fees they charge. And a fifth bill, AB 1210, would cap the fees developers have to pay to connect new homes and apartment buildings to utility services, limiting the fees to 1% of the project’s estimated value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the cost of materials, labor and interest rates continue to soar, legislators see these changes as one of the last remaining levers they can pull to reduce the cost of construction and spur development across the state. And while developers generally welcome these efforts to make housing easier to build, they say there are much bigger, meatier fish to fry in the complicated politics of California housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erik Schoennauer, a land use consultant who works with developers in San Jose, said he’s been advocating for the changes the bills propose for years. As it stands, he said, “there is no one-stop location” to understand what fees are due and when.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The city should create a master list of all potential fees, anything conceivable,” Schoennauer said. “It’s much harder to determine what [fees] apply when you don’t even know what the maximum list is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 2144 would require cities to post information on impact fee schedules, along with a “nexus study,” which would break down the total cost of construction on a city’s website. AB 1820 mandates cities provide an estimate of the fees developers would have to pay within 10 days of a developer filing an application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the problems surrounding fees are much deeper than a lack of transparency, Roberts said. His company specializes in constructing prefabricated granny flats and in-law units homeowners can put in their backyards. For the past few months, he’s also been working on building clusters of small homes called cottage courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11983026\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11983026\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg\" alt=\"An aerial view of a green house with a solar panel on the roof and a yard.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/Overlook-151_qut-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">While Villa Homes specializes in constructing prefabricated granny flats and in-law units, the company has started to branch out into building small and affordable single-family homes. According to Roberts, impact fees raise costs and can make these homes unaffordable. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Villa Homes)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>By design, these homes are smaller and, therefore, meant to be more affordable to purchase than a standard single-family home. But as he’s put together budget sheets for these projects, the impact fees have started to add up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The impact fees that we often run into in many jurisdictions don’t scale down, even though we’re building a smaller home at a lower price point,” he said. “At the end of the day, we want to get people into homes they can afford to buy and to do that on a private market without a bunch of government subsidies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 937 would push impact fees to be due once the homes are sold, but Roberts said that would only be “moving money through time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cost is still there,” he said. “It’s just going to be borne later in the project and ultimately by the [occupant].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Scott Wiener (D- San Francisco) said he authored this bill to help developers with the upfront costs of construction but acknowledged that there is a much larger conversation still to be had about how cities rationalize exorbitant fees that can kill projects while claiming to want more housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are cities where the impact fees are way too high,” he said. “They’re out of whack, and they’re harming the ability of housing to be built.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high cost of these fees was at the heart of the case that went to the Supreme Court. In 2016, contractor George Sheetz was preparing to build a small home on a vacant lot in El Dorado County, but the county charged $23,000 for a “traffic impact fee,” even though, Sheetz alleged, there was no evidence the development would lead to more traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Sheetz, saying developers have a right to challenge the constitutionality of these fees. Though the case’s fate ultimately rests in a lower court, the high court’s ruling could mean more developers will take cities to court over what Sheetz argued was “extortionate fees.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The way impact fees have thus far been imposed has been arbitrary and varies widely from town to town,” Jim Wunderman, President and CEO of the Bay Area Council said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/press-releases/bay-area-council-hails-supreme-court-decision-on-costly-impact-fees/\">statement\u003c/a>. The regional business advocacy organization was one of many to submit amicus briefs in favor of Sheetz’s case. “This ruling is hopefully the first step on the path to returning some fairness in how housing and other local impact fees are charged.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities, however, rely on these fees to fund government services and city maintenance. Jason Rhine, director of legislative affairs for the League of California Cities, argues impact fees simply account for more people living in a city once the new housing is built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most cities do not have a lot of excess dollars lying around in their general fund to help subsidize these [new] projects,” he said. “Developers have to pay their fair share when it comes to the impact that project is going to have on their community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When voters in 1978 passed Proposition 13, which limits the amount cities can increase property taxes each year, this revenue accounted for 90% of a city’s total income.

Por lo general, lo que sucede es que usted recibirá un cheque más grande cada mes porque los impuestos no están siendo retenidos. Pero esto no impedirá que el Tío Sam cobre su dinero. Cuando llegue el momento de presentar la declaración, es posible que ahora vaya a deber una cantidad mucho mayor porque tendrá que pagar todo el saldo de impuestos a la vez, frente a pagarla mes a mes si hubiera elegido “Non-exempt”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si usted es un trabajador ‘gig’ (conduce para Uber, por ejemplo), \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/es/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/manage-taxes-for-your-gig-work\">podría establecer pagos trimestrales al IRS\u003c/a> y, de esa manera, evitar que termine con una enorme factura al presentar su declaración de impuestos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Los trabajadores ‘gig’ son autónomos y tienen que pagar impuestos”, dice Lindsay Rojas, especialista fiscal y gestora de programas de United Way Bay Area. “No están reteniendo a menos que sepan que necesitan hacer esos pagos estimados porque son su propio empleador”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11981719\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11981719 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/FAMILY-ON-THE-SIDEWALK.jpg\" alt=\"Una familia compuesta de dos padres y dos hijos pequeños camina por la calle sonriendo.

Y si va a presentar la declaración en persona, ya sea a través de una clínica gratuita de impuestos de la comunidad o con un preparador privado, asegúrese de compartir exactamente lo que ha cambiado en su vida este último año, ya sea matrimonio, divorcio, un hijo en la universidad o \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/es/forms-pubs/about-form-8936\">incluso si compró un vehículo eléctrico\u003c/a>.

Vested stock options — options that have matured and are fully owned by employees who can choose to sell them — are treated like ordinary income for tax purposes. Companies must pay withholding taxes on part of that income to state and federal governments. Last year, those taxes paid by the four largest tech companies in the state — Apple, Google, Meta and Nvidia — grew to at least $5 billion, making up more than 6% of all of the state’s income-tax withholding, the Legislative Analyst’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/LAOEconTax/Article/Detail/789\">estimated\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s up from 4% to 5% pre-pandemic, has more than doubled since 2016 and quadrupled over the past decade.

Last year, the withholding taxes they paid helped offset the effects of fewer initial public offerings on the state’s revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chas Alamo, the principal fiscal and policy analyst for the office, did the analysis. He said that if he had the resources to do a deeper dive and had tallied the stock-equity withholding from all large tech companies in the state instead of just the biggest four, it might make up as much as 10% of all income-tax withholding.

California officials have confirmed that \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2023/03/02/more-time-to-file-state-taxes-for-californians-impacted-by-december-and-january-winter-storms/\">the filing deadline for state taxes has also been moved to Oct. 16\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You also don’t have to \u003cem>do\u003c/em> anything to get the tax filing extension if you live in one of the nine Bay Area counties. “\u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-may-15-tax-deadline-extended-to-oct-16-for-disaster-area-taxpayers-in-california-alabama-and-georgia\">The IRS automatically provides filing and penalty relief\u003c/a> to any taxpayer with an IRS address of record located in the disaster area,” the agency said in a February press release. “Therefore, taxpayers do not need to contact the agency to get this relief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the worries of working-class families in mind, KQED spoke with the following experts about what parents and caregivers can expect when they file in 2023 — and how they can prepare for a potentially smaller return:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Jaqueline Marcelos, leader of the free tax clinic at MEDA\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Amy Spivey, director of the UC Law Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lindsay Rojas, tax specialist with United Way Bay Area\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>Prepare for a smaller return — and find free filing help\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Tax filings are unique for every family, but the cuts on the child tax credit this year are universal.

And some parents, UC Law’s Amy Spivey said, “might not receive any refund — they actually may have to pay the IRS.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has been especially frustrating for lower-income families in the Bay Area who benefited from large refunds last year to help offset the high cost of living. “It was a lot of money that came in,” MEDA’s Marcelos said. “And now this year, boom, no money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">Find a free tax filing service near you\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Marcelos has even had conversations with clients who insist the smaller returns are a mistake, and that they’d rather file with a private tax filer, whom they believe could get them bigger returns. “So many clients say, ‘I am going to report that I donated $50, $60, or I want to put down this expense, and I am going to request an extra form in my taxes,” Marcelos said — adding that, yes, a private filing company can write off what a client asks for, “but that [still] might not increase the amount of money that you’re getting back.”[pullquote size='medium' align='right']Tax tip: Don’t assume a private tax filer will always be able to get you a bigger tax refund.[/pullquote]Marcelos highlighted that the MEDA clinic is part of the IRS-administered Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, and that the tax preparers on her team are trained to answer questions from filers with unique situations such as having multiple jobs, or using an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) to file. \u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">Filing at a VITA site or another community clinic\u003c/a> is not just free, she stresses, but also provides access to the knowledge of a preparer who can connect you to financial education trainings — or public benefit programs you may qualify for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the Bay Area, dozens of nonprofit organizations and VITA sites are offering free tax filing services, both in person and virtually. \u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">Find the closest one to you using United Way Bay Area’s map.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>If you’re affected by the change in the child tax credit, know more credits are out there\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The child tax credit may be back down to $2,000, but there are other federal tax credits that families should keep in mind when filing, says Rojas from United Way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest one is the \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit-eitc\">earned income tax credit (EITC)\u003c/a>, which is available for both individual filers and married couples who make below a certain income limit. \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/earned-income-and-earned-income-tax-credit-eitc-tables\">What you get depends on factors like income and number of children.\u003c/a> A couple who files jointly, has two kids and has an income smaller than $55,529, for example, could potentially receive a maximum credit of $6,164.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right']Tax tip: You might be eligible for a lot more tax credits than you’re aware of.[/pullquote]\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/newsroom/caleitc/eligibility-and-credit-information.html\">California has its own version of this credit: the CalEITC.\u003c/a> “That’s another credit that filers can potentially qualify for, if they had earned income up to $30,000,” Rojas said, adding that filers with no kids could receive up to $275, and those with kids could be eligible for an amount ranging between $1,843 and $3,417, depending on the number of children they have. Folks who don’t have a Social Security number but have an ITIN also are eligible for this credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you qualify for the CalEITC, says Rojas, that opens the door for other, additional credits. “If [filers] have children who are under 6 years old, they would then qualify for \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/young-child-tax-credit.html\">California’s young child tax credit\u003c/a> and they can receive a credit of up to $1,083.” That $1,083 number stays the same, regardless of how many kids a filer has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, San Francisco residents who qualify either for the federal EITC or the CalEITC can also receive \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/free-tax-help/working-families-credit-wfc\">the city’s working families credit\u003c/a>, which grants filers with kids a maximum credit of $250, independent of the number of children. But to receive this credit, says Spivey from UC Law, you have to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/free-tax-help/working-families-credit-wfc/working-family-credit-wfc\">complete a separate working families credit application with the city’s Human Services Agency\u003c/a>. “This isn’t something that is claimed directly on your tax return,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something else to keep in mind about San Francisco’s working families credit: The deadline has also been pushed back to Oct. 16.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has a long list of additional credits, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/nonrefundable-renters-credit.html\">a renters credit (which ranges between $60 and $120, depending on how you file)\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/foster-youth-tax-credit.html\">foster youth tax credit\u003c/a>, which is new this year and provides filers who were in the California foster care system when they were 13 or older — and who are now between 18 and 25 — with another credit that ranges between $1,083 and $2,166, depending on how they file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/\">See a more extensive list of California’s tax credits.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Even with a smaller return, it’s still a good idea to file\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>IRS data shows that in the 2012–19 tax years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.eitc.irs.gov/eitc-central/participation-rate-by-state/eitc-participation-rate-by-states#:~:text=Approximately%2C%2021%25%20of%20all%20eligible,Income%20Tax%20Credit%20(EITC).\">roughly a quarter of eligible California taxpayers did not claim the federal earned income tax credit (EITC)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s millions of people who missed out on what could have been a sizable credit going into their tax returns. UC Law’s Spivey explains that many people don’t claim the EITC because they choose not to file their taxes.[pullquote size='medium' align='right']Tax tip: If your child might apply for FAFSA one day, make sure your tax filings are always up to date.[/pullquote]“Many taxpayers who might be eligible for the EITC aren’t required to file because they make under the filing threshold,” she said. “But if they did file, they could likely receive a refund in the form of any taxes that they paid and also the EITC or the child tax credit, if they’re eligible for those.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spivey also points out that if you did not file your taxes last year, but you file for both 2021 and 2022 this year, you would be eligible for the 2021 extended child tax credit. “If you did not file in 2021, you can still file this year and receive that large credit, if you’re eligible,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if your return this year isn’t as big as in previous years, making sure to file this year can still have long-term benefits for your kids, says Marcelos from MEDA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the people she sees at the tax clinic are parents who dream that their kids go to college one day. “But if we parents don’t have our taxes from past years available, our kids can’t complete the FAFSA form when they are applying for colleges,” she said, referring to the \u003ca href=\"https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa\">Free Application for Federal Student Aid\u003c/a>, the federal form students must complete to receive financial aid from colleges, scholarships and grants.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"tellus\">\u003c/a>Tell us: What else do you need information about?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>At KQED News, we know that it can sometimes be hard to track down the answers to navigate life in the Bay Area in 2023.

And some parents, UC Law’s Amy Spivey said, “might not receive any refund — they actually may have to pay the IRS.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has been especially frustrating for lower-income families in the Bay Area who benefited from large refunds last year to help offset the high cost of living. “It was a lot of money that came in,” MEDA’s Marcelos said. “And now this year, boom, no money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">Find a free tax filing service near you\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Marcelos has even had conversations with clients who insist the smaller returns are a mistake, and that they’d rather file with a private tax filer, whom they believe could get them bigger returns. “So many clients say, ‘I am going to report that I donated $50, $60, or I want to put down this expense, and I am going to request an extra form in my taxes,” Marcelos said — adding that, yes, a private filing company can write off what a client asks for, “but that [still] might not increase the amount of money that you’re getting back.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"Tax tip: Don’t assume a private tax filer will always be able to get you a bigger tax refund.","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Marcelos highlighted that the MEDA clinic is part of the IRS-administered Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, and that the tax preparers on her team are trained to answer questions from filers with unique situations such as having multiple jobs, or using an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) to file. \u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">Filing at a VITA site or another community clinic\u003c/a> is not just free, she stresses, but also provides access to the knowledge of a preparer who can connect you to financial education trainings — or public benefit programs you may qualify for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the Bay Area, dozens of nonprofit organizations and VITA sites are offering free tax filing services, both in person and virtually. \u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">Find the closest one to you using United Way Bay Area’s map.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>If you’re affected by the change in the child tax credit, know more credits are out there\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The child tax credit may be back down to $2,000, but there are other federal tax credits that families should keep in mind when filing, says Rojas from United Way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest one is the \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit-eitc\">earned income tax credit (EITC)\u003c/a>, which is available for both individual filers and married couples who make below a certain income limit. \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/earned-income-and-earned-income-tax-credit-eitc-tables\">What you get depends on factors like income and number of children.\u003c/a> A couple who files jointly, has two kids and has an income smaller than $55,529, for example, could potentially receive a maximum credit of $6,164.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"Tax tip: You might be eligible for a lot more tax credits than you’re aware of.","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/newsroom/caleitc/eligibility-and-credit-information.html\">California has its own version of this credit: the CalEITC.\u003c/a> “That’s another credit that filers can potentially qualify for, if they had earned income up to $30,000,” Rojas said, adding that filers with no kids could receive up to $275, and those with kids could be eligible for an amount ranging between $1,843 and $3,417, depending on the number of children they have. Folks who don’t have a Social Security number but have an ITIN also are eligible for this credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you qualify for the CalEITC, says Rojas, that opens the door for other, additional credits. “If [filers] have children who are under 6 years old, they would then qualify for \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/credits/young-child-tax-credit.html\">California’s young child tax credit\u003c/a> and they can receive a credit of up to $1,083.” That $1,083 number stays the same, regardless of how many kids a filer has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, San Francisco residents who qualify either for the federal EITC or the CalEITC can also receive \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfhsa.org/services/financial-assistance/free-tax-help/working-families-credit-wfc\">the city’s working families credit\u003c/a>, which grants filers with kids a maximum credit of $250, independent of the number of children.

His wife, who is a contractor, lost all of her work early in the pandemic.

If they had received some of those payments, they said, the couple probably would have spent the money on food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a recurring problem. One of the main ways California helps people financially — and redistributes wealth — is by passing money through the tax system. It’s not just one-time pandemic payments; there are also yearly payments, called refundable tax credits, that provide thousands of dollars to lower-income people through the tax system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some of the people eligible for those programs earn little enough that they don’t owe any taxes. So, many don’t file a tax return.

That credit alone can give tax filers as much as $3,417 cash back, and combined with the federal credit, the sum can grow larger. There’s also federal cash-back credit for people with kids under 17, and another California credit for families with kids under 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, for example, if you’re a single parent in California making $25,000 with two kids under 6, you could receive $9,990 when you file your taxes in 2023, according to figures provided by the California Budget and Policy Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We like to say, ‘It’s your money, go get it,’” said Hasselblad, with United Ways of California. “And going and getting it means also: Ask for help if you need it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite all the money on the table, lots of people don’t file their taxes and miss out.

In 2020, Berkeley researchers partnered with California state agencies to research whether small “nudges” — including sending text messages and letters with information about the tax credits to 1 million people — aimed at people who were probably eligible, but who might not claim the benefit, would increase filing. \u003ca href=\"https://www.capolicylab.org/news/report-raising-awareness-of-tax-credits-isnt-enough-to-increase-the-number-of-low-income-californians-who-claim-them/\">The nudges had no effect.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another approach was slightly more successful.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
