You do not have to include the California Middle Class Tax Refund on your federal or state taxes, as Tax Champ VolvoGirl said.
The IRS on Feb. 10 issued guidance stating that the MCTC was one of the payments issued by 17 states that do not have to be included on your taxes.
“[P]eople in the following states do not need to report these state payments on their 2022 tax return: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. Alaska is in this group as well, but please see below for more nuanced information.”
