Yes, you are correct that the answer is no.

CARES Act emergency financial aid grants are “qualified disaster relief payments under section 139 of the Internal Revenue Code” and should not be included as part of gross income.

Can anyone tell me why I have received my tax refund? They sent me a letter about fraud making sure I was filing my taxes. I had to do ID .me and still have nothing.
