CA Golden State Stimulus Payments

[EJO3]

I use the Lacerte Batch System for input.  Please tell me where I should record the payments received -

both input page and code number.

Not taxable. It doesn't go anywhere. 

It was paid based upon timely filed 2020 returns. You snooze. You loose.

CUTE - - -If you filed ON time and QUALIFIED but did NOT receive, how do you receive the CA stimulus

payment if you can NOT apply for it on your 2021 CA return?

EJO3,

The stimulus is taken as a tax credit on the 2021 return. See the snip.

@EJO3 If your client did not receive the stimulus, you should contact the Practitioner Hotline on their behalf, assuming you are a third party designee. https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/newsroom/tax-news/september-2018/third-party-designee-and-implied-c....
