Earned Income Tax Credit Information Act: 2023 Notification

What this is…

The California Revenue and Taxation Code (RTC) Section 19853(b) requires local educational agencies (LEA) that operate the National School Lunch Program to annually notify households about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Information Act.

The EITC is a benefit for working people with low to moderate income. In order to qualify for the EITC, households must meet certain requirements and file a tax return, even if taxes are not owed or households are not required to file. The EITC reduces the amount of tax households owe and may allow for a refund.

Based on your annual earnings, you may be eligible to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit from the Federal Government (Federal EITC). The Federal EITC is a refundable federal income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The Federal EITC has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most cases, Federal EITC payments will not be used to determine eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, food stamps, low-income housing, or most Temporary Assistance For Needy Families payments. Even if you do not owe federal taxes, you must file a federal tax return to receive the Federal EITC. Be sure to fill out the Federal EITC form in the Federal Income Tax Return Booklet. For information regarding your eligibility to receive the Federal EITC, including information on how to obtain the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Notice 797 or any other necessary forms and instructions, contact the IRS by calling 1-800-829-3676 or through its website at www.irs.gov.

You may also be eligible to receive the California Earned Income Tax Credit (California EITC) starting with the calendar year 2015 tax year. The California EITC is a refundable state income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The California EITC is treated in the same manner as the Federal EITC and generally will not be used to determine eligibility for welfare benefits under California law. To claim the California EITC, even if you do not owe California taxes, you must file a California income tax return and complete and attach the California EITC Form (FTB 3514). For information on the availability of the credit eligibility requirements and how to obtain the necessary California forms and get help filing, contact the Franchise Tax Board at 1-800-852-5711 or through its website at www.ftb.ca.gov.

Message from the iLEAD AV Exploration Director

Dear iLEAD AV Exploration Families,

iLEAD Exploration Feb 14, 2023We loved seeing all our learners who participated in our in-person Presentation of Learning Thursday evening. What a creative group of children! We were quite impressed with their final presentations. Great job, iLEAD AV Exploration!

Our Partners in Parenting support group began last week and will be held every Tuesday at 9:15-10:15 AM. We had a nice turnout, and the response was very positive. If you weren’t able to join or you forgot, please join this week, Tuesday, February 21, in our Curriculum Library.

Sadly, the Cat House field trip that was scheduled for this Thursday, February 23, has been canceled. The Cat House is closing, and they have been moving all the animals to other locations. Workshops will not be held on February 23 either. Please be sure to mark your calendars.

Lastly, please remember to complete your Intent to Return form for the 2023-24 school year. It was emailed to everyone via ParentSquare. Please let me know if you need me to resend it to you. If you have new learners joining us for next year, you can get their names on our list and learners will be selected by lottery. Register new (not currently enrolled) learners for 2023/24 here​.

Have a wonderful week!

With gratitude,

Terri Budke
Director of North LA County Exploration

iLEAD AV Exploration Workshops Reminders

If you have signed up for workshops, please remember the important changes we have made below:

Drop-off and pick-up will now take place in the front, main parking lot. You can pull up right outside the iLEAD AV Exploration side gate and an EF will be there to greet you and let the learners in. Please note that drop-off will be from 8:45-9:00 AM, and pick-up will be from 12:20-12:30 PM.

We will be holding separate workshops for 6th-8th graders only on Thursdays from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM. Please note that 6th-8th graders are still welcome to join the other workshops as well, in addition to the ones dedicated to them.

Please plan on having your child bring their school laptop to workshops. We will be using them each day during our Bookshark/Academic portion of our day. Learners will have the opportunity to log into Reading Eggs to work on individualized skills. Make sure your child knows how to log in to their computer with their username and password, or leave a Post-It with their info for us to help them.
