State tax filing

Any taxes withheld were federal taxes not state taxes.  Neither FL nor CA taxes unemployment benefits.  To get those withheld taxes back you will need to file a federal return.  If your only income was the unemployment benefits, then you do not need to file in CA or FL. 

 

If you filed a 2019 tax return and have been receiving stimulus payments from rounds one and two, then you will be eligible for round three as well. 

 

If you were ineligible for stimulus payments due to your 2019 return, but became eligible in 2020, then you need to file your 2020 tax return to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit and thus become eligible for the third round of stimulus payments as well.
