Is the Golden State (California) stimulus money taxable on the federal return? I am able to find lots of documentation for treatment of federal stimulus money but there is not much on the state stimulus money and whether it is taxable on the federal return.  Has anyone found documentation on this?

@JeffB I should add that the link is not an "official" Spidell statement. From their updates seminar I heard "We believe these grants would be excludable for federal purposes under the general welfare doctrine. However, the IRS has not confirmed this position."
