Valentine’s Day is only a few days away, and with it will mark the completion of California’s Middle Class Tax Refund payment, giving recipients up to $1,050.
This final wave of payments will be made in the form of a debit card and will be for recipients who have changed their address since filing their 2020 tax return. Payments for this refund, which will wrap up on Feb. 14, have been going out to recipients since October 2022, according to the California Franchise Tax Board.

A total of 31,650,087 California taxpayers and their dependents have benefited from this refund, with over $9 billion being issued to recipients from these payments as of Jan. 13.
All of the recipients of this refund are California residents who filed their 2020 taxes by Oct. 15, 2021. The tax board recommends recipients allow up to two weeks to receive their debit card in the mail.
To get the full payment of $1,050, joint filers must have had an adjusted gross income of $150,000 or less for the 2020 tax year. The smallest amount one can receive from this refund is $200, which will be given to single filers who had an adjusted gross income between $125,001 and $250,000 for the 2020 tax year and who do not have dependents.
