When Will You Receive the Payment?
If you qualified for the California stimulus check in 2024, you don’t have to do anything else to get it. Using the information from your 2023 tax return, the state will send the payment immediately. There is a 45-day waiting period before you get the money, or until December 31, 2024, whichever comes first.
How Will You Receive the Payment?
The way you choose to get your state tax refund or pay your state taxes for the 2023 tax year will determine how you receive the payment. The stimulus payment will be sent to your bank account if you choose direct deposit. The stimulus payment will be mailed to you if you pick a paper check.
Can I Track My Stimulus Check Payment?
Use the Where’s My Refund tool on the California Franchise Tax Board website to find out what’s happening with your California stimulus check in 2024. To get to the data, you’ll need to give your mailing address, ZIP code, Social Security number, or ITIN.
Is The Stimulus Check Taxable?
Neither the state nor the federal government will tax the California stimulus check in 2024. It’s not something you have to report as cash on your tax returns. It’s still a good idea to write down the date and amount of the payment for future use.
