Good luckFinally at 12:30 refund issued.
Took 29 daysIs anyone still waiting on there state? Its never taken this long before I usually get it first. I filed with TT
Filed 1/29
Got 1 month processing message
Called ftb 2/9 said need copy of W2 and check stub.
Said fax or upload on ftb site
Went to ftb office 2/17 got pin registered successfully
Uploaded docs called one hour later spoke to a male
Said he processed my return with a lower amount
Gave me the refund amount said takes 4 weeks to receive
Website still shows 1 month and ftb shows return not available for 2022Called on 2/15 for an update – My docs were received, they asked some verification information and approved the refund.
Checked FTB Account yesterday and I could see that my refund was processed and I had a credit for the refund amount on my account, but I could not track it.
Tracked the refund this morning and it finally says it was authorized on 2/16!
Hope you all get your updates soon.Filed 1/26 though FTB site.
Called on 2/5 for an update – I was told it was still processing
Called on 2/6 for an update – Same
Called on 2/14 for an update – Was told I needed to verify my income with a W-2 or check stub and send in a copy of my ID. I faxed over all the copies the same day.I called in 2/15 and it was manually processed.. still shows processing on 2/16. Called again today (2/16) and the gentleman confirmed it was processed, and said it can take up to 14 days to reflect as processed and issue a payment to me.
More hurry up and wait..
How long after you guys phoned in did it take for the tracker to show your refund as approved?
Bob’s great, helpful advice I called and it was processed the same day.
Filed 1/24
Issued 2/15 ( same day I called)Called the number that Bob suggested and – the woman on the phone was SOOOOOO helpful and processed my return as we spoke on the phone. There was a notice that was supposed to be sent out to me to verify some information (change in filing status from prior year) but the notice was never mailed according to their system. Everything is handled now.
Filed/accepted: Jan 21st
Manually processed: Feb 15
DDD: ???Hi. I have been stuck at “processing” since 1/28/2023. I called the FTB at (916) 845-7088( option 1) and the nice gentleman pushed my return on through after asking me some identifying questions. I was nice and asked him if everything is okay with my return. I believe that helped. FYI
Ftb site issued refund on 2/1, received in check mail today 2/11. Filed hrblock with fees taken out preference DD to emerald card.
It’s definitely going slow this year. I called FTB to double check if there were any errors with my return , and they stated it was still processing.
We always got our state deposit 7 days after accepted. Not this year. Still says processing and wait 1 month. My daughter’s Godmother filed 2 days after us and got paid last Friday.
Used Turbo Tax as usual, same bank, same job, same dependents.
UghFTB showed Issued on 1/31, but my refund didn’t hit my account until 2/4. I bank with BofA, so 3-4 business days after the issue date seems accurate, seems faster for those who bank with Wells Fargo.
I filed 1/19, got accepted 1/21. Still processing with 1 month message.
I called yesterday (2/2) and the woman said I had no offsets and no information to verify.. that sometimes it takes a full 14 working days for them to process it and to just wait it out.
I’m just kind of confused on why I’m STILL processing when people who have filed after me have processed and gotten ddd/refunds… :(
My refund was approved 2/1 and I have current pre paid account it says issued 2/1 does that mean it’ll be transferred would it state if it had been applied to a debt? I don’t think I have any liens in california but I have always got it 24 hours after it said refund processed but it’s been over 2 days now and nothing has hit my account
I filed on 1/26 via the FTB website because turbo tax rejected my state due to a glitch in their software that I spent 3 hours on the phone with them trying to correct. Anywho, anyone ever file directly through ftb?
I filed for my granny using turbo tax a few days after and her refund has already been approved.
Does the ftb site take longer?
@P Anne – mine and as also issued/authorized on 1/31. I bank with BofA and have my fingers crossed it is in my account in the morning.
My refund was issued 1/31 , I received it today. I bank with Wells Fargo
@bnlav – Thanks. I was hoping it would be in my account tomorrow, but I guess not.
@CaliGurl I also bank with BOA , it takes 3-4 business days.
Anyone having trouble checking their refund? It was “Processing” yesterday but now they can’t find my return.
Is the system down?
FTB shows my refund was issued on 1/31, but it hasn’t hit my account. I bank with BofA, anyone know how soon after it’s been issued will deposit be in my account?
@Cali Gurl. I filed 1/26 & was accepted 1/26
@winnermade I have my fee’s taken out every year. I always receive my full state refund and the fee’s taken out of federal. That has been my experience with Turbo Tax.
So I finally spoke to someone at H&R block that advised me my state will be dispersed from Pathward tomorrow 2/1. I’m not sure if they are taking the fees out of my state or federal since I get mixed answers on that. My state was authorized on 1/26 I’ll update once it hits my Chime.
@P Anne – What day did you file? I’m also getting the 1 month message :-(. I’ll check it again later to see if they give me a date of deposit.
Update —-
I checked the Where’s my refund site after posting my question & as of today it says my refund has been authorized 1/31 … so I guess the 1 month message didn’t apply. I will update once I receive the deposit.Based on you guys experience, what does the 1 month message mean? Should I expect to have to wait to full month or does that mean I need to verify something? This is my first year getting this message
I’m so pissed. I filed on 1/14 and just checked FTB, and it’s saying they received my refund on 1/29 and to wait 1 month for refund. I filed weeks ago, why are they receiving it!
Well turns out since I used H&R block and elected to have fees taken from the refund. Sounds like it will delay my state refund as well according to the office associate.
Sorry FTB “franchise tax board” auto correct made it fob
Yeah I assumed that’s what you meant. My balance does say 0. If I don’t get it soon I’m going to start being paranoid that my tax preparer made a typo on my bank information… Hopefully that’s not the case.

When you check where’s my refund if it says issued on whatever day login to your fob account if it shows a negative balance they it hasn’t been sent yet if it shows 0 balance then it has already been sent out. You can go further into account balance activity and it will show you more breakdown
What’s the FOB site?
Filed: 01/26/2023
On 01/27/3023 FTB site said authorized 01/26/2023. Just posted to my credit union account an hour ago.When you check where’s my refund if it says issued on whatever day login to your fob account if it shows a negative balance they it hasn’t been sent yet if it shows 0 balance then it has already been sent out.

Believe I filed on the 24th. CA refund site says issued on the 26th. I’m using Chime. I’ll update once it hits my account. I saw another user posted it hit their Chime account 2 days later.
I contacted FTB and they advised the authorization date is not the date the direct deposit was sent. She said it would be sent 7-10 business days from the authorization date. So I assume the guy that stated he received his 2 days after the authorization got lucky.

Filed and accepted (says accepted in Turbo Tax)1/27. When I try check status on state website it doesn’t find my return. But when I get federal it’s showing up as accepted. Anyone know why?
I filed 1/26 using Tax Slayer & was accepted 1/26 as well.
I haven’t been able to track my refund yet.
I also realized I didn’t include my middle class tax refund amounts, will this affect my refund processing?Update:

Got accepted yesterday 👍🏼👍🏼
Just filed my 2022 taxes yesterday 🤞🏼
CA tax told me they were going to BARELY send a letter requesting more info on my dependents ok I would assume I’m only getting the EIC for my grandson who is 4. So my question is how do I provide proof residency for him. Anyone who could help I would greatly appreciate it.
Woohoo!, I got my CA refund today (2/22)! Good luck everyone and see you all next year!

Filed on February 12th- still has not shown up in system. how long does it typically take?
Refund hit this morning! 🙌🏻
How long is it taking to hit your bank or credit Union once it says refund issued?
@Stillpending88 Awesome! Check the FTB refund site tonight after 11:30pm Pacific and you should see your status updated to issued.
My refund was issued on 2/10. Still no DD. I bank with BOA. Anyone received theirs?
Mine was issued 2/10. Still waiting
Just received my ca state return . Issued 2/12
Mine was issued 2/12 waiting also
Did anyone get notice that their state refund was issued & they bank with Bank Of America & HAVE NOT received it DD yet?
I am hearing some people received it already through other banks.
I’m confused
checked my ca refund and it says “We authorized your refund on Saturday, February 12, 2022” but as of today the 15th i dont see it in my bank and nothing shows on pending.
*Update* I called (916) 845-7088 and he kind woman who answered said that a letter was issued yesterday and put me on a brief hold. She asked me a few questions (personal info, employer and the bank my DD was being sent to) and afterwards said that she processed my refund and I should receive an update with a DDD. I’ll provide an update with any changes. *End of
@coolinsocal
Thank u soooo much! I just called and they said they were able to push my return thru. They did say the direct deposit will take up to one month to receive. I hope that not the case. Thanks again.@Stillpending 88
Call (916) 845-7088 press 2. Ask the representative to review your return. I had to fax in information and within 2 days I called back to the same number and the rep “pushed through” my tax return and CA FTB refund site updated to “refund issued” around 11:30pm the same day.So as I was waiting to speak to someone on the phone .I seen that a letter requesting info / verification from me was sent out today .accepted the 24th and have been processing since .
This is big difference seeing as last year I got my state back like in a weekHi! Mine has been “processing” since 1/25. I called today and they said I need to wait a month. What is this “push” people are calling to get? Any ideas on how I can get my refund processed and issued?
mine was issued sometime between friday night and saturday morning, but hasn’t hit my bank account. i’m using a prepaid card, so hopefully it hits by wednesday. thank you for the info, mari808, and congrats to everyone who got theirs already!
My refund has finally hit my account!! Good luck everyone and hope you guys get yours soon 💕
