Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I used TurboTax Deluxe ("TTD" under Windows 11) Version 022~000~0407 and the TT executable version 2022.47.17.39 on Friday Feb 10th, 2023 to successfully file taxes. 

I reported CA-MCTR income as 1099-MISC from EIN 68-0204061 (California's State Revenue Department) and when TTD  asked Does one of these uncommon situations apply? "California Middle Class Tax Refund" was selected.

See the snapshot below of how this was handled by TTD at that time -- note the "general welfare exclusion" amount.  Artificially increasing the MCTR amount to the maximum value ($1,050  per CA-FTB) made no difference to my Federal or State refund amounts.  This observation and the "general welfare exclusion" convinced me that the MCTR income was not being treated as taxable by TTD.
As of the date of this post (2023-02-25) with the latest updates applied, my TTD software versions are now:

022~000~0437 and 2022.47.18.40 respectively  (note: the tilde symbols have been used to replace periods, otherwise, this website thinks it's a phone number and removes the information).  I have not re-tested my taxes with this latest version of TTD.
