Every year, the state of California collects taxes from hard-working immigrants who may lack documents but don't lack the civic will to contribute to state coffers. And every year, the state excludes those filing with an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) from being eligible for the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC), a program meant to reward and incentivize work.
It's been a consistent message to our immigrant residents: We will take your money and utilize your services but you are not worthy of our support.

Now is not the time for the crushing tax hikes a split roll would bring – Orange County
Sounds a lot like California taxpayers under normal circumstances, let alone during this economic free fall brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Between March 15 and April 18, 3.4 million California residents applied for jobless benefits, more than all 2019 claims combined. Expenses are rising in Sacramento with so many people qualifying for assistance as well as increased costs for health services in response to COVID-19.

Guest column: Delaying property taxes, waiving fines during COVID-19 crisis isn't as simple as it
First, and most importantly, the State's Attorney has advised us that state law does not give the Lake County Board authority to delay tax collection or provide late fee waivers during this crisis. The County collects all of your property taxes but uses only 7%. The rest goes to your forest preserves, townships, libraries, municipal governments, parks, fire districts, and—the large majority—school districts.

DES MOINES — State tax collections took a nearly 39% hit in April, driving down current fiscal year tax receipts by $84.4 million.
But not all the downturn was due to the onset of the coronavirus epidemic in Iowa, according to the Legislative Services Agency.
State revenue from July through April totaled nearly $6.325 billion, but receipts for individual and corporate income taxes took a double-digit plunge last month when state Department of Revenue officials pushed back the deadline for filing income tax returns and mailing in taxes owed until July.
Letter: Self-employed sometime pay taxes to several cities - Opinion - The Columbus Dispatch -
I respond to the Thursday letter “Unnecessary tax cuts leave state unprepared” from John Georgiton, who wrote Ohio should eliminate the Business Income Tax Credit as unnecessary because the self-employed pay no state income taxes on first $250,000.
With Ohio cities imposing an income tax, the self-employed sometimes pay two to three times more income tax in Ohio and need this credit to conduct business in Ohio. A self-employed construction worker in Columbus area might pay income tax to seven or eight cities. At 2-2.5% tax, with no credits, that is more than the state's income tax.
Trump says next coronavirus relief bill has to include payroll tax cut | TheHill
Trump said during a Fox News virtual town hall that he would like to see a sizable infrastructure bill pass to help revive the economy, which has cratered amid the coronavirus pandemic. But he indicated his long-desired payroll tax cut would have to be part of any talks.
"I want to see a payroll tax cut on both sides, a very strong one, because that's going to really put people to work," Trump said. "But infrastructure is so important. Our country, our roads are — excuse me — they're going to hell."
