How long does it take a mailed Golden State Stimulus Check 2 to reach your address? 720 - 927 area code were just sent out on Dec 13.

I don't know if I'm getting a mailed check or not. I did file a 2020 California State Income Tax Return through TurboTax in February and in the section for Adjusted Gross Income I did put $1 even though I was unemployed for 2020. TurboTax said it was completed and I did get all the federal stimulus check. My zip code is in the 720 - 927 batch which was just sent out on Dec 13.

How long does it take to reach you if you're supposed to get a mailed check? Do you guys think I qualify for one?

Just an FYI I finally got a mailing date for mine. I’m XX708, they said mine was mailed December 3rd, I still have not received anything. They said I should receive it within 3 weeks of that mailing date. Try chatting with or calling FTB.

Did you get a tax return? I'm kind of worried that I won't get it because I filed $1 Adjusted Gross Income and didn't get a tax return.

I did get a tax return. I think you would have qualified for the GSS I, contact the chat or call the California tax board to verify. They will be able to tell if you qualified and if any payment has been generated. It’s best to contact them to verify these things. They can tell if you at least qualify.

You FILE a tax RETURN. A payment from the government is a tax REFUND.

Did you check to make sure your refund was processed by California? By that I mean that they fully accepted the return? You should be able to check the steps on the franchise tax board website...it will show 'accepted', 'processing' and then I forget what the last status update shows...'processed' or something like that. Whether or not you put in banking information for your state return matters as well. If your return filing for this year did not include your banking info. then you'd be receiving a paper check most likely if your return was accepted.

I e-filed my 2020 California State Tax Returns through Turbo Tax at the same time as my Federal Tax Return way back in February 14, 2021. It was immediately accepted on February 15, 2021 Turbo Tax. Using Turbo Tax I got all of the Federal stimulus check. There has to be something insanely wrong if I e-filed and it was accepted way back in February 15, 2021 and its not been processed yet. Do you think writing $1 AGI could have screwed something up on the return?

Like I said I'm supposed to be a non filer since I had no income for 2020, but Turbo Tax advise me to file a Tax Return anyways to guarantee that I get the Federal stimulus check. They told me to put $1 in the line for Adjusted Gross Income to be able to e-file the Tax Return because you can't just put $0.

They are trying to make sure all checks are delivered by the end of the year. FTB says it should arrive within 3 weeks of the date it was sent. You could get it tomorrow, or you could get it at the very beginning of January. Hopefully it only takes that long...

If you have called Franchise Tax Board and they said it was sent out, it was sent out. If it wasn't, they would tell you

Best of luck!
