​AG Bonta issued a consumer alert urging Californians to learn about free or low-cost tax filing options. As Tax Day approaches, many Californians may seek out assistance with filing their tax returns. Through the CalFile program, eligible California taxpayers can file their 2025 state taxes for free.

“As Tax Day approaches, I encourage Californians to file early and explore trusted free or low-cost filing options. Before paying to file, take a moment to check if you qualify and keep more of your hard-earned money where it belongs — in your pocket.” – AG Bonta
