As @Bsch4477 says above the IRS may decide to tax the Middle Class Tax Refund as income for federal purposes. They haven't said yet and if you received more than $600 from the refund then you should receive a 1099-MISC from California for the payment.
However, there is no need to enter the payment on your California tax return. The payment you received is not related to your California taxes for 2022. It is also not income in California. So it will not effect your 2022 California return in any way.
