My buddy has a cabin up there in the sierras and this one didn't even set off his alarms like prior smaller ones further away. Nothing knocked off his walls according to video feeds.

I've been trying to find the answer online but cannot, so I was curious if anyone here knew the answer. Who the gently caress is eligible for this latest round of Golden State Stimulus? It keeps saying that it caps out at $75k, but never mentions how to deal with married filers. Is that 75k from them both combined? 75k for each individual? Should married couples expect something if their combined income is below 150k? How are dependents determined? My wife and I file jointly, so who gets the dependents bonus? Jesus Christ, even the Trump admin did a better job of advertising who gets what money.

EDIT: As best as I can tell it looks as everyone as an individual and sees what they make and if its 30k-75k they get $600 bucks, and THEN it looks at families and if they have a kid then it's $500 more. This makes no sense though. If you are a couple that makes 25k and 80k so 105k total, then congrats you get nothing but your neighbors who make 74k and 74k (148k total) get 1200 bucks. What if you have more than one dependent? Why is this so much more complicated but stupider than the federal stimulus?

There's not too much info as everything was just approved today.

There's an estimator on CA's tax website that seems to confirm your theory. If you select a family that makes over $75k your check amount is zero, no matter how much each person made.

https://www.ftb.ca.gov/about-ftb/newsroom/golden-state-stimulus/gss-ii-estimator.html

I made $80k last year and my wife doesn't work so we don't qualify for the checks. Also, since we made over $75k we don't get anything for our 3 dependents either. It seems to be a hard cutoff.

It’s OK to be annoyed, liberalism is scientifically designed to pit people against each other for arbitrary and capricious reasons. But we can’t have universal programs because gosh golly it’s just not feasible.

This is all supposed to make people be excited to say no on the recall, right? Kind of wonder if there will be a fix bill once there is a lot of loud yelling about this. I just mentioned it in the covid thread, but CA walked back their mask requirements in schools for 21-22 within a day because of yelling. https://edsource.org/2021/california-backtracks-will-let-local-schools-decide-how-to-enforce-mask-requirement/657969

Found a further explanation...

quote:

Unlike the federal stimulus checks, there is no higher income threshold for various taxpayer filing statuses. That means even married couples filing jointly and those who file as heads of household are also restricted to the $75,000 limit. (Married couples filing separately, however, have an income level capped at $37,500 per person and can get $300 and $550 if they have at least one dependent, according to the state’s online tool to check eligibility. More on that below.)

So it's basically a gently caress you to married people, or people with more than one kid.

afaik the going standard for internet service write off for contractors is estimated percentage of time you use the connection for work versus use for personal time.

I didn't. There's almost nothing in common between the two elections. Donald Trump was packing out rallies from Day 1. Jenner has none of that. It's also a recall election, not a general. It's also California, not These United States.
