Should I have gotten more back from taxes?

r/

I claim zero. I live in California. I got back my state and fed income tax. It was essentially $1,200 back from the 40k I earned.

I asked if I can also get the California earned income tax credit or anything else, but my tax preparer said no.

Why did I get it years ago but not this year? I’m single with no kids.

    You earn too much to qualify for the EITC in California.

    Those credits are for those who make under 25k or around there
