Payments worth up to $1,050 from a state program will be issued to some California residents by the end of Saturday.
The Middle Class Tax Refund has been giving recipients money since October 2022. All of the recipients are people who filed their 2020 taxes by Oct. 15, 2021. The latest recipients to receive their payments are people who received their 2020 tax refunds via direct deposit and have since changed their banking information after filing their 2020 tax return, according to the California Franchise Tax Board.
DEADLINE FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS TO FILE 2022 TAXES PUSHED BACK TO MAY
To get the full payment of $1,050, married or joint filers must have had an adjusted gross income of $150,000 or less for the 2020 tax year. The smallest amount of money that one can receive from this refund will be $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.
About 7,020,930 refunds have been distributed to recipients from this refund, totaling more than $8.7 billion. A total of 30,612,921 California taxpayers and their dependents have benefited from this program as of Friday.
