Payments between $200 and $1,050 are still going out in the order designated in payment schedule, which means there are still batches of debit cards that haven’t been put in the mail. Additionally, the FTB is still tying up loose ends with direct deposits.
Most people expecting to have received a direct deposit should already see it reflected in their bank account, but “some returns require additional review,” the FTB explains. That could create a delay for some recipients. It could also mean getting a debit card instead of a direct deposit.
Then, you should verify your spot on the schedule (see below). That will help determine if your payment is late or still scheduled to come.
If you believe you should have received your payment already but haven’t, the FTB suggests contacting customer service at 1-800-542-9332. A customer service agent will help you confirm you qualify, explain what payment you’ll receive and when.

At least 12.4 million payments have already been issued, according to the FTB.
“We have already made millions of payments, and almost 23 million California taxpayers and their dependents have benefited,” an FTB spokesperson told Nexstar. “FTB employees continue to work hard to ensure these payments go out as quickly as possible. We want taxpayers to know that we are not done making these payments, and millions of Californians are still waiting to receive their Middle Class Tax Refund (MCTR) payments. We will continue to make payments through January 2023.”
The payments are scheduled to wrap up on Jan. 14, 2023. The state expects to send out 18 million inflation relief payments in total.
If you believe you are eligible to receive a payment and have not received it by February 14, 2023, check your bank account statements to ensure that you did not receive it. Most people who qualified received a payment between October 2022 and February 2023.
Can I track my California inflation relief check? The short answer: no. But you can probably narrow down your timeline a bit. If you filed your taxes online and also received the Golden State Stimulus you may have already gotten your relief.
Californians will receive their MCTR payment by direct deposit or debit card. Generally, direct deposit payments will be made to eligible taxpayers who e-filed their 2020 CA tax return and received their CA tax refund by direct deposit. MCTR debit card payments will be mailed to the remaining eligible taxpayers.
That means you don't need to claim your inflation relief payment — no matter the size — on your California income tax return. However, the MCTR “may be considered federal income,” according to the FTB. For that reason, the state is sending out 1099-MISC forms to anyone who received a payment of $600 or more.
A customer service representative can be reached at 800-542-9332 on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The FTB advised wait times are usually shortest on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Why is my California state refund taking so long? Your California state refund may be delayed due to calculation errors and missing or incomplete information on your tax return.
If you haven't received your $3,200 in stimulus checks, you can still claim the full amounts by filing your 2020 and 2021 tax returns by May 17th, 2024.
You can initiate a payment trace either by phone at (800) 829-1954 or (800) 919-9835 for stimulus payments, or by completing Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund.
Be sure to have your MCTR Card handy. Click the top left menu and click “Send Money to an External Bank Account” under Move Money Out. Follow the steps to set up your destination bank account prior to completing your ACH transfer. Transfers typically post to your bank account in 2-3 business days.
You received this form because both of the following happened: You claimed state income tax payments as an itemized deduction on Schedule A of your Federal Income Tax Return for the tax year listed in Box 3. You received a refund, credit, or offset of $10 or more.
If you believe you should have received your payment already but haven't, the FTB suggests contacting customer service at 1-800-542-9332. A customer service agent will help you confirm you qualify, explain what payment you'll receive and when.
If for whatever reason you are still having trouble, you can call the Franchise Tax Board's customer help line, said Martinez. That number is 800-542-9332, and it's open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on weekdays, according to the tax board's website.
Californians will not be taxed by the state for their MCTR, but the federal government recognizes the money as federal income, which is why people may receive a 1099-MISC for refund payments of $600 or more.
California is still distributing a small percentage of the $1,050 inflation relief checks authorized in 2022. Around 5% of payments won't go out until January 15, 2023. Eligibility for the rebates is based on income, household size, and tax-filing status.
If you have contacted the financial institution and two weeks have passed with no results, you will need to file Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding RefundPDF to initiate a trace. This allows the IRS to contact the bank on your behalf to attempt recovery of your refund.
It has been confirmed that the states of Michigan and California will get new stimulus checks on May 15,2024. The programs offering guaranteed income will provide qualifying people with direct payments up to $500 and $528, respectively.
