The media have been using the terms "Middle Class Tax Refund" and "Gas Tax Rebate" interchangeably, when referring to the rebates recently disbursed from the Franchise Tax Board to California taxpayers.
If you are concerned that the funds you received from the Franchise Tax Board weren't related to the MCTR, see this FTB webpage for more information including an option to chat with the agency.
You can still report the California Middle Class Tax Refund as follows:
- Select Federal from the left side menu.
- Click on Wages & Income.
- Scroll down to Other Common Income. Click Show more.
- Click Start / Revisit to the right of 1099-Misc.
- At the screen Does one of these uncommon situations apply? select This was a California Middle Class Tax Refund.
The California Middle Class Tax Refund will not be taxed on your California or Federal returns.
You can preview your return before filing to find out how your taxes were calculated. See here for details.
