Tax Refund Status for September 2022: $300 Payments in Hawaii Coming Soon, $1,050 Per family in California Set for October

With the rising inflation rates, states have announced that they will be distributing an inflation relief check payment to cushion the economic impacts on residents. Eligible recipients can check their tax refund status in California through the state's Franchise Tax Board Website.

CNBC News reported that California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced in June that Californians would receive inflation relief checks as part of a new tax refund plan aimed to help the middle class. Qualifying residents will get as much as $1,050 sometime between late October 2022 and mid-January 2023.

Meanwhile, Hawaii has also announced its own tax refund plan, with residents receiving at least $300 per person with the money distributed through direct deposit or by paper check, as announced by Gov. David Ige.

Tax Refund California

Residents who filed their 2020 tax return by October 15, 2021, are eligible for the inflation relief checks.

In addition, one must meet California's adjusted gross income limits. Those who earn $500,001 or more are not qualified for the tax refund checks.

Meanwhile, Californians who earn $150,000 or less will receive $1,050 if they have a dependent. Those without any dependents will receive $700, according to the FTB's website.

Those who earn $150,001 to $250,000 will receive $750, and those without dependents will get $500.

Payments worth $600 are awaiting those who have dependents and earn $250,001 to $500,001. Those without any dependents will get $400.

One should be a California resident on the day the payment is issued or a California resident for six months or more for the 2020 tax year.

The inflation relief check is a one-time payment to California residents who filed a tax return in 2020. Those who do not qualify for the California tax refund can apply for programs such as SNAP benefits and CalWORKS.

The Department of Agriculture noted that they had also adjusted SNAP benefits maximum allotments based on changes in the cost of living, as reported by Go Banking Rates.

Tax Refund Hawaii

Ige said residents will get direct deposits of their one-time state tax refunds as early as September 9. However, the governor noted that those who owed taxes or normally get refund checks will have to wait a bit longer.

KHON 2 News reported that Ige said 601,000 residents will be getting a little cash back from Hawaii soon. The governor said that $294 million dollars are being returned to Hawaii taxpayers, with the money directly delivered into the "pockets of Hawaii's hard-working people."

To receive the tax refund deposits on September 9, one should have submitted their 2021 tax return by July 31 and have direct deposit.

Ige said that those who usually receive checks will likely have to wait until the end of October, explaining that it depends on the "arrival of the check stock."

Single taxpayers who earn less than $100,000 or couples with less than $200,000 will receive $300 tax refund checks.

Those who earn more than $100,000 or couples earning more than $200,000 will receive $100 each.
