California - Form AB 650

Sheila2008

I have been trying to find form AB 650 (Employer required notification) that I need to include in the W-2's and I can't find it anywhere.  I did find a site, but they wanted to charge for the form.  The form is a federal 'Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)' and is mandatory that I issue with the W-2's.  Anyone have a copy????

Sheila, you have a couple of options. This is from the state website ...

 

How do I provide my employees notification of the EITC and what
should I provide them?

The law states: The employer shall provide the notification required by
handing directly to the employee or mailing to the employee's last known address
either of the following:

1. Instructions on how to obtain any notices available from the Internal
   Revenue Service for this purpose, including, but not limited to, the IRS Notice
   797 and Form W-5, or any successor notice or form; or,
   
2. Any notice created by the employer, as long as it contains substantially the
   same language as the notice described below or in this sample notice:
   
   Based on your
   annual earnings, you may be eligible to receive the earned income tax credit
   from the federal government. The earned income tax credit is a refundable
   federal income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The
   earned income tax credit has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most
   cases, earned income tax credit 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 tax return to receive the earned income
   tax credit. Be sure to fill out the earned income tax credit form in the federal
   income tax return booklet. For information regarding your eligibility to receive
   the earned income tax credit, including information on how to obtain the IRS Notice 797 or Form W-5, or any other
   necessary forms and instructions, contact the Internal Revenue Service at
   1-800-829-3676 or through its Web site at www.irs.gov.
   
   Employers may provide the
   EITC notification with or at the same time as the Form W-2 or Form 1099 is given
   to employees.
