After you file

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.

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