Do I need to mail my state taxes if I did not work in 2020?

Hello,

 

I'm a California resident and I did not work in 2020, however, I did receive unemployment benefits. This year, i have to mail in my taxes. I have them printed out but I was wondering if I needed to mail my state taxes if I did not work.

 

Thanks!

Yes; you will still need to report your unemployment benefits. The following link provides some insight: Guide to unemployment and taxes.
