Yes, if you qualify, you will get it as a separate payment.    The following is from Golden State Stimulus

 

California will provide the Golden State Stimulus payment to families and individuals who qualify. This is a one-time $600 or $1,200 payment per tax return. You may receive this payment if you receive the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) or file with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

 

 

For most Californians who qualify, you don’t need to do anything to receive the stimulus payment.

 

We (the state of CA, not TurboTax) schedule and issue stimulus payments twice a month after eligible 2020 tax returns are processed.

Your stimulus payment will not be scheduled until your return is processed. Review our Wait Times dashboard for tax return and refund processing timeframes.

 

 

If you filed your tax return between January 1, 2021 and March 1, 2021:

You will receive your stimulus payment beginning after April 15, 2021.

  • Direct deposits: Allow up to 2 weeks
  • Paper checks: Allow up to 4 to 6 weeks for mailing

If you filed your tax return between March 2, 2021 and April 23, 2021:

You will receive your stimulus payment beginning after May 1.

  • Direct deposits: Allow up to 2 weeks
  • Paper checks: Allow up to 4 to 6 weeks for mailing
  •  

If you file your tax return after April 23, 2021:

  • Direct deposits: Allow up to 45 days after your return has processed
  • Paper checks: Allow up to 60 days after your return has processed

**Some payments may need extra time to process for accuracy and completeness.

I received a $600 stimulus check from California.  Should this be included on my Federal or State retuns?

@Boston Jim No.   Your golden state stimulus is not taxable and does not have to be entered on your 2021 tax return.

I qualified for golden state stimulus however turbo tax did not catch an error on my returns sending my agi to 87,000.  My agi was caught by the irs and state but because line 12 showed 87,000 disqualified me.  What to do?  I feel like turbo tax should pay me foe not catching that error.
