Where are you entering California COVID-19 Relief Grant for Sole Proprietorship Schedule C filer?

California COVID-19 Relief Grant FEDERAL Tax Return:

Are you entering the grant amount on Schedule C as Business Income subject to SE tax?

Or,

Are you entering the grant amount on Other Income Statement Line 24b Other Taxable Income?

I have seen it both ways but got confused with the worksheet on the CALIFORNIA Tax Return that does the adjustment as Other Taxable Income only.

Thank you.

Sch C, then adjusting it on CA as shown in the picture shown.  CA taxes self employment income as ordinary income,so the adjustment doesnt need to be connected to the CA Sch C.

"Are you entering the grant amount on Schedule C as Business Income subject to SE tax?"

Yes, for Fed.

Thanks I was expecting to see the adjustment on Schedule CA Section B Line 3 as a business income subtraction.

It counts as income to the Feds, and is reduced for CA.

That article has a table that has been updated for the recent SB, even though they didn't change their date at the top.
