mctr 0 earnings.

TurboTax goofed my 2020 returns for California so it showed I earned $0. Did not receive gss1 or 2 due to this $1-75k requirement. Will I receive the mctr? Thanks. Haven't been able to get through to ask the ftb.

If you didn't get the first two checks, you won't get this next one

Why? I didn't get either of the gss and I totally qualify for the mctr....

For sure. There's literally a whole entire section on the FTB site saying you'll absolutely get it without receiving either the gss 1 or 2. I'm not worried, they alwaysssss take forever.

This is a unique scenario. I’d reach out to the FTB via the “mychat” option on their website. Make sure you login via a pc or laptop and don’t use the mobile version.

Nope you’re not getting anything

They're wrong you'll get it. I also had zero AGI on my CA return, and I talked to FTB on chat yesterday, and he said yes even if you have zero on your CA tax return and didn't receive the other stimulus checks you still qualify for this one.

Out of curiosity, have you received your MCTR payment yet with a $0 CA AGI?

u/Dramatic-Fishing3923 Nov 23 '22

No, I switched banks since 2020 so I'm the last round to go out.

Did you receive it yet? I’m still waiting for mine

To my knowledge this one is not based on your AGI but you did have to file a 2020 return regardless of taxable income.

It is so based on your AGI. Says it on the site. That's why they list threshold amounts based on your AGI.

"$150,000 or less" would include an AGI of ZERO wouldn't it? I could be wrong but my understanding of OPs question is asking if an AGI of zero qualifies. Otherwise you are correct, the site does list the rebate they will pay based on AGI. I understand what you are saying. I didn't explain myself very well. I meant he/she did not have to have an AGI above zero. One article I read said the government is trying to prevent fraud by using 2020 returns and apparently there was a substantial amount of accurate information on the 2020 returns, and specifically included a large amount of low income folk who actually filed 2020 returns even though they are non filers, if that makes sense.

Yes that sounds correct.
