Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As @JamesG1 says, the California Golden State Stimulus is not law yet. It will be given to households receiving the California Earned Income Tax Credit for 2020, not 2019. To be eligible for the state stimulus, you will have to file a 2020 California income tax return with California EITC.

 

The agreement provides $600 in one-time relief to households receiving the California EITC for 2020. In addition, the agreement provides a $600 one-time payment to taxpayers with Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs) who were precluded from receiving the $1,200 per person federal payments issues last spring and the more recent $600 federal payments. The agreement would provide the $600 payments to households with ITINs and income below $75,000. ITIN taxpayers who also qualify for the California EITC would receive a total of $1,200. The payments will be provided to these households shortly after they file their 2020 tax returns.
