I was wondering for those that called for a push, what exactly you said to get a “push”? I called today and was told by an automated message that refunds are taking up to 3-4 months and then said the representative line was too busy and hung up on me.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Traditional banks like BOA are holding for 4 buisness days .
Issued 2/11
Deposited on 2/18 overnight -
Accepted 1/23
Called for a push 2/12
Authorized on 2/13
Paid to Spruce acct (HRB)
2/18 3:56pm -
My refund was also authorized on 2/11, and still has not hit my account yet. Due to Monday being a holiday and the bank (BofA) being closed, the 4th business day is technically Tuesday, and the deposits should hit our accounts tonight at midnight.
-
Issued 2/11
Deposit with BOAHaven’t received it yet. But I believe with the holiday weekend and four business day rule we will probably see something overnight tonight or tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed you guys!

Processing 1/27
Called for push 2/11
Issued 2/12
Paid 2/14 @ 3:16 pm (Chime)Based on my experience on this forum for many years, if you haven’t received your deposit yet, It’s because you have a traditional bank and it takes four business days.
-
Still no refund. Pushed through and issued 2/11
-
Can anyone who called the number and got their refund pushed through update when you got your deposit??? I called and and had pushed through on the 2/11. Haven’t received anyone yet. I have cash app card.
-
Status went to issued 2/11 I have Netspend I’m hoping to see my deposit tomorrow call the number if your stuck in processing it takes less than 5 minutes
-
The call to (916) 845-7088 lasted 7 minutes in my call log. Only spent 5 minutes answering a few identifying questions and resolving my issue with a live person. Make the call, get it resolved!

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to hop on and say it seems like California is moving quick this year!! I filed through my accountant on Monday, 2/10 and my refund was already issued on Tuesday, 2/11. So like last year, if you bank with BofA, your refund will hit your account 4 business days after the issued date. I expect to get mine on Monday. I’ll report back either way.
-
It’s finally update please call the number they may be able to help you I called and they pushed mine through refund status has been updated to issued
-
I called today also. Verified some information and they processed my return and pushed it thru. Hoping to see that deposit in the next couple days!! If you’re stuck in processing CALL THEM!!! Don’t wait!!!

Hey all just wanted to give you guys an update . I called 916-845-7088 and spoke to a really nice lady ! I ended up having to verify some identity questions but in the end it resulted in her processing the return for me after I’ve been in received status for weeks ! total phone call was just under 20 minutes . So if you are still waiting , maybe just call there and see what they can do to help you !

FTB was showing as received for about 4 days
Now I’m sitting at processing since
1/29
I called and spoke to a lady , she said they are currently switching over systems and refunds are taking 4-7 weeks ! Omg -
Still haven’t processed yet. I’ve called and get the generic response “we have 7 weeks to process your return”. Nothing has changed for me from previous years and I sent in my income documentation when I filed just to be safe. I really hope I don’t have to wait a whole month like I did last year.

I called them today got a live agent he took care of my 2023 state refund he said it would be up to 4 weeks also took care of my 2022 state refund as I didn’t receive it last year. He said because I was denied the first time they would mail it and could take up to four weeks as well. My question is will it update in the system tomorrow? and will it really take four weeks?

Hey everyone! I just checked my refund status on FTB and almost fell out my chair!
Filed 2/1/2024
Accepted same day
Refund approved 2/20/2024I have B of A and from what Cali gurl said it takes about 4 days to hit my account. That will be a Saturday so I’m guessing I’ll see something maybe Monday the 26th. I hope you all get your refunds soon because FTB usually takes longer with my return I don’t know why.

Finally received my dd this morning. Cali girl was correct when she said BOA takes 4 days.
I’m glad the number was helpful to some of you!

It’s FU season for CalFilers…this is the new WMR message
Your tax return requires additional processing time.
Please allow 3 months from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If you received a notice from us requesting additional information, please respond to continue the processing of your return. Allow 2 months from the date you mailed your response for a determination to be made.

Stuck on processing. Someone posted the number to call and speak to someone so I did just that this morning(2/15) spoke to a very nice man. He said they had ALOT of returns to go thru but still helped me. Looked over my return everything was fine and pushed it thru. Said I should receive it within 4 weeks. But I’m hoping sooner!! Looks like our returns are just sitting if your stuck on processing. -
@Mari808 – Thanks for clarifying!!
My refund hit my account today. So if you bank with BofA, your refund will be deposited 4 business days after the authorized/issue date (if you have no offsets or anything). Now the wait for the Federal begins……….Good luck guys.

@Mari808 – I don’t understand your dates. When was you refund authorized/issued and when did the deposit actually hit your account? It seems as if 2-5 days from the authorized date is when most receive refunds in their accounts.

FTB shows my refund was issued on Friday, 2/9, and as of today the refund still hasn’t hit my account. I bank with BofA and normally it’s in my account 3 days after being issued. Is anyone else having a similar problem? I’m hoping the money is in my account tomorrow. I also called FTB and spoke with a rep, and she is saying it could take up to 4 weeks to receive my refund in my account which doesn’t sound right. UGH so frustrating……

Today i called the number Blav posted; my return was processed Friday. Not showing online yet. Hoping 4 a DD real soon🤞 -
@Blav
I called today. The guy validated my information, said I have to wait up to four weeks. Like I said, those of us who filed early got left to rot.
-
@truthteller44 try calling (916) 845-7088 and choose option 2 after choosing your language option. You’ll get someone right away who can tell you if any verification documents are needed.
-
Looks like if you were an early filer with CalFile, they basically threw you in the discard pile and left you to rot. Good times. Filed 1/16 hasn’t changed from received status since. People getting paid in a week but I can’t even find out if I need to provide information or anything. Only to end up having to do what I could’ve done this entire time once their arbitrary time elapses. So f’n stupid.

Received refund this morning 2/10
Filed 2/1 -
My FTB account showing my refund credit as of this morning. Should have my DD within 3 days per my experience last year. GL everyone!

I contacted FTB again today, the lady I spoke with today was super helpful. She stated she would process my return today after asking a couple of verification questions. So far, no update on my FTB account. I will check again later today to see if it shows my refund balance.
-
Filed 2/1 approved 2/7 now waiting for DD
-
I am in the same situation. Filed 1/17 on FTC and still processing. You call they won’t help you.
-
Filing through Calfile is not optimal anymore. Because we didn’t file through places like Turbo Tax, FreeTaxUsa etc…. We have to wait longer. My sister and I both filed on Jan 29 but I used Calfile and she used FreeTaxUSA. Her refund was approved on 1/31 and she received her direct deposit on 2/2 (NavyFed released early – had pending date of 2/5). Meanwhile, mine is still on processing.
-
FTB is on a good one this year. It’s been 3 weeks since I filed and i getting the generic “we haven’t began processing returns, it’ll take 4-6 weeks”. Which is bs because several people have received refunds now. Not sure why they can’t manually review and process returns like they have every year previously smh

Called my Emerald card said funds will be loaded tomorrow. Which is ridiculous because I see other people post that they had it yesterday and the day after. It says “sender will make funds available to your card tomorrow” which it should say “we have your funds but won’t be made available to you until tomorrow.” It was sent 1/29 shouldn’t take so long
-
accepted 1/24 no update. This time last year I had my refund. The last few years have been quick. Hopefully an update in 24 hours.
-
Update: I called to verify if they had received my documents that I uploaded on the FTB website. I was told that my documents have been received and they would be forwarded to the right department and I would receive my refund within 60 days. Anyone else waiting on a verification?
-
So apparently my state is being sent directly to my H&R block emerald card. It was issued the 29th. I have a weird situation this year where my state was accepted through H&R block and my federal accepted through JH. The rep said they usually take fees from the federal return so not sure how this is going to work out with SBTG. So I’m hoping my state gets to my emerald card today/tomorrow. I’ll update when I receive it.
-
Called in today to ask if I would need to verify my income like last year and was told yes. Uploaded my documents on the Ftb website and was told I could call back in 48 hours to see if they received them. Last year I still received my refund within a few days of verifying.
-
Got the message: We authorized your refund on Monday January 29th, 2024. Please allow 10 business days to receive your refund by DD.
Woohoo!
-
Anyone have experience with using Jackson Hewitt and the serve card? I’m having my fees taken out and I have child tax credit for my federal. My state was issued yesterday and I assume they will take the fees from that? But the republic bank tax site seems to only pertain to the federal dispersement and it can’t find my account. Any insight would be appreciated

@Don thanks for thefor the tip nonetheless! Since filing on calfile I went from received to processing within 24 hours.

@blav no clue bud
-
@Don I just filed through calfile. I had to verify my employment by sending in check stubs last year. I have the same job, do you think they’ll make me verify again?
-
Once turbo taxes glitch allows them to efkie my state it will get rejected because I already submitted it through calfile. I have already requested a refund for my state processing from TT.
-
Can you file on turbo tax and ca file?
-
After redoing my taxes on calfile I was accepted the next day. Turbo tax must have a glitch keeping them from submitting the state taxes. Now just waiting for processing and DDD

I’m hoping that since things don’t open up officially until Monday maybe that’s the delay for some of us.

So all of a sudden CA refund can’t find my info. 916 number was no help they basically told me to pour sand.

I filed through the CA Franchise Tax Board website on 1/20/24 and it shows as processing on 1/23/24. Last year, I received my refund 12 days after filing so hopefully, the same is true for this year.

They’re on a good one this year 😂 I’ve got a couple different times and my taxes are still held up even though I’ve sent in and they’ve received my documentation.

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 2022 -
Called 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..

Everything is handled now.

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.
Ugh -
FTB 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

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.

Hi! My refund was issued 2/15 but the funds are still not in my checking account. Anyone know how long it will take?? I called my bank and was told a direct deposit has not even been scheduled for a future date:( if I call the FTB can they give me the ddd???

Filed & accepted: 1/30
Called CA FTB to ID verify: 2/15
Refund authorized: 2/16 -
Refund issued 2/10. DD received 2/16
-
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 week -
Hi! 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 💕
-
Mari,
Check your account summary.
-
Just received my DD 🥳 See you guys next year!
-
ok, now my account says processed with a balance of 0.00. where do you guys see whether or not it’s authorized? the girl on the phone yesterday said i had a small offset, so i wonder if that will slow things down for me at all.
-
I bank with BofA. I’m crossing my fingers in hopes it’s in my account Monday. I have received my state Friday night/Saturday morning one year, maybe it will post tonight.
-
1/26 filed and accepted same day
1/27 two checks saying received
2/10 10:10am called for push
2/10 11:30pm authorized
2/11 5am FTB said processed and return available -
Cali girl
It was ‘issued’ 2/8. If you’re using a traditional bank I wouldn’t expect it to hit your account until Monday/Tuesday. If you’re using a prepaid card then today or tomorrow.
-
Ugh so frustrating!!! Still no deposit despite refund being issued on 2/8. I called the number again this morning, and the person I spoke with said to allow 4 weeks for the deposit to hit my account. 4 FREAKING WEEKS!!!!
-
Authorized as of midnight.
Will update when received. Ftb account stil says received -
@mari
No update.
Looks like I’ll be calling again -
thanks for the heads up! i just called back and they had me answer a few verification questions and pushed mine through. she didn’t give me a ddd though, so i’ll just have to wait it out some more and see. trying to make a ftb account right now. fingers crossed we all get our deposits soon.
-
@mari808 still no changes on mine.
Should I call back? -
Then first thing I noticed was my refund showed in my account summary, then my credits updated. This was all the same day I called for a push.
-
Yes. I called at 10:10am
The refund status shows two checks still
Just says received in my account -
You should see changes throughout the day. Do you have access to a Ftb account?
-
Mari
I called back and got someone different and he said he’s pushing it through. No updates as of yet thoughsame, sammie. D’: called in and they said they sent a <span id=”IL_AD4″ class=”IL_AD”>letter</span> in the mail and i will have to fax and verify. this is the first time i’ve ever had to do that. does anyone know what the verification is, or could it be a number of different things?
-

-
Refund authorized on 2/8 but it’s still not in my account. UGH…..I’m hoping it’s in my account tomorrow :-(
-
So I called them back and got someone different. He said he’s pushing it through. How long did it take for it all to change after the call?
1/28 – Filled
2/8 – Called for push (morning) refund status received
2/8 – Lost check marks and received the msg “We are unable to provide your refund status online”. (Evening)
2/9 – FTB acct showing refund status as processed
2/9 – refund authorized (changed after 11pm) -
I do not understand. Everytime I call Ftb for California they tell me my refund was approved on 2/7 or that it was “processed” but when I log into my account, I don’t see that. It only says “received” it’s been since the 21st I was accepted. I was annoying and I have called Ftb everyday since Monday. All the reps have told me it was processed on 2/7 but I don’t see that in my bank. And on the check my refund status it says processing and 1 month message
-
Got through to the number below and I’m having to verify and fax in information 😭😭
-
1/28 – Filled
2/8 – Called for push (morning) refund status received
2/8 – Lost check marks and received the msg “We are unable to provide your refund status online”. (Evening)
2/9 – FTB acct showing refund status as processed
2/9 – refund authorized (changed after 11pm) -
Just checked my account and refund was authorized 2/9 but I had an offset with funds taken already. Can’t remember if that means remainder will be direct deposited or mailed in a check?
-
Just checked my FTB account and it finally says processed! Balance still reading $0.00 but definitely expecting to wake up to an “issued 2/9” message 😊 will keep y’all in the loop
-
I called Ftb and they said it was processed on 2/7, however Ftb account only says received and still processing on site. I don’t get it. I’ve called several times and they tell me it was approved. But can take 4 weeks? Ugh.
-
Mine says the same! Are usually get it the next day but for some reason it did not post this morning. Fingers crossed
-
Cali Girl
It depends who you bank with. I always use my Netspend card for taxes because I get my refunds sooner. I always get my state in 3 days after DDD. I’m not too sure about regular banks I believe within 5 days.
-
Update ****
Checked FTB website this morning and it now says Refund issued on February 8, 2022. How soon after the refunds are issued does it usually hit your bank account? -
Still haven’t gotten a DDD. But there’s movement. I lost both my check marks and now have the “We are unable to provide your refund status online using the information you provided” message. Also, before in my account summary in my ftb account it didn’t show any info for my 2021 return. Now it shows with my credit amount. Balance and debit are still 0.00. Hopefully I’ll update tonight with a DDD.
-
@jordanK
You must have gotten same girl, very young sounding super nice and friendly. Confirmed amount confirmed she processed it and confirmed how I would recieve it ect. Said it could take 4 weeks to get it but typically dd is much quicker -
Can confirm that a very nice lady is working today. Called the number listed here and pressed 2. She processed my return and verified how I was receiving my refund. Love this forum for info like this.
-
Just got through to a very nice lady who actually pulled up my account and processed my return while i was on the phone :) should update tomorrow as processed or later today and I expect about 4 days for actual direct deposit
-
@Mari808 thanks for giving that info. I called that number and got someone right away. It looks as if my tax preparer either made a mistake or didn’t submit my return. Ugh
-
I called (916) 845-7088 pressed 2. I had to verify a couple things and it was pushed through. Will update when Ftb changes.
-
Received Ca refund this Morning .
Filed on 2/1 -
I’m also still waiting. I filed on 1/19, and my return isn’t even showing up on FTB website. I’ve received my federal already. I’ve never had to wait this long for my state refund.
-
I filed 2/3
Accepted 2/3
When I checked on 2/4 I had the 1 month message
When I checked on 2/5 it updated to Issued on 2/4Will update with DDD

Anyone else having issues getting your pin to make an online account? This is 3 years in a row now for me
-
i also usually get my state refund super fast, i believe in a week or less for the last couple years. i filed and was accepted 1/25, no changes in dependents or anything, and expected mine to be issued this week, since it’s usually that fast. but mine says processing along with the 1 month message (i’m not sure if i’ve ever had that or not, so i’m hoping it doesn’t mean i have to id verify like some others have said).
-
I’m not understanding what the hold up is this year with California FTB. I filed on 1/19, and have already received my federal, but the FTB website still shows no record of my return. I wasn’t concerned at first, but now I’m starting to wonder what the holdup is. I normally receive my state refund quick, and always before my federal.
-
I’m still processing as well with the 1 month message. I usually process in a week but the last time I had the 1 month message I had to call in and ID verify.
I filed and accepted 1/28
-
Filed: 1/30

Submitted and accepted on 2/18, still showing processing so I called FTB and the person on the phone says there are no issues that he can see, but that it’s in the 2nd to last phase before approved and that I should see an update in a couple of days. I asked if he or someone else can help process my return while I was on the phone and he said they can’t.
For those of you who were able to get them to process as you were talking with them, what were the magic words you used?
-
Submitted 2/15. Issued 2/24. Never received. I chatted with them and they had the incorrect routing number. They said I would have to wait a month for a paper check. I checked my records and I submitted the correct routing number. Something messed up on their end not mine. They told me today I will have a direct deposit by 3/20. Hopefully it happens soon.
-
Heads up 21 days passed for me – called told them – she transferred me – lady on the next call said processed my return for me and it could take 4 weeks….had issue 3/8 ar midnight
-
Thats good to hear.. I filed my return on 2/15 and it still says processing ima follow your advice amaree
-
Refund authorized as of 3/8.. says to allow 10 business days for direct deposit however below sequences looks like 4 business days after issue date.

Nice!
Mine is still saying unavailable so I may do the same by calling them later today.

It should be issued today the system
Not letting me check now so probably updating to issues by tomorrow -

Amaree
So we they able to give you an issued date ?
-
If your state is processing 3 weeks and past I suggest you call the state and advise the first rep will send you to someone that can review your return and process before you hang up, good luck!
-
All now I’m getting the “unable to provide your refund status online” message.
Hopefully……??
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve also received my federal refund this week.
-
Smh !!!
-
-
I filed on 2/16. Was rejected due to some kind of TT submission error. Resubmitted/accepted on 2/19. Checking the website it said it was processing and to allow up to 1 month.
Check today and was immediately told I had reached the maximum allowed to check (this was the only time I checked it today).
So I called the general 800 number and was told it was received and processing. It also said that the current processing time was 3 TO 4 MONTHS.
WTF is happening

Yes, I am in the exact boat as you. Previous years I’ve have always had a quick turnaround and surprised I got my federal before state. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one this year.
-
@Cali
I called last week they said they updated everyday and that mines was not rejected but to wait 3 weeks I never had this before I always got my state 10 days atleast before federal but this is next level -

Today received a rejection email because “county” was missing on form. First time this has ever happened to me.
Corrected issue this morning, 02/23 and received email that State was finally accepted by FTB.
Now we wait….I just wish TT had caught this issue ahead of time.

My girlfriend filed 1/27 through TT, accepted 2/11 .. when she would check the status it would say there’s a problem with state but it wouldn’t give her an option to fix or correct anything.. but it hit her account yesterday.

@vijay when was your return accepted? I file the 23rd, accepted the 13th and still nothing 😑
-
Received my California return amount in bank this morning. I applied on 1/23.

Ok! I was getting worried. Thanks so much
-
@Tina it usually takes about 3-4 business days once it has been issued to see it in your bank account. Last year I was issued on a Friday and it did not post until Wednesday the following week.
-
Anyone that had an issue date of 2/19 got their states yet? Mines say it was issued on 2/19, but It haven’t hit my account yet??

Mine is still pending. IRS accepted on 02/11 and I have DD pending. I have seen comments that it is taking TT longer to process or folks have received emails about rejections for their CA return. I have not received anything yet.
At this point, I am considering filing with CALFILE, if I don’t get anything from TT soon.

Filed 01/25 Freetax USA
Accepted by CA 02/10
Updated tp refund issued 02/19 this morning on 2/20.. I checked many times yesterday and didn’t see an update. -
If it says issued does that mean everything is good and they most likely won’t ask for documents?
-
Just move to issued payment on Jan 19
-
Right before I received my issue date , it was also telling me that my information was unavailable all of a sudden, so I waited and checked it an hour later and it showed an issue date and my FTB account information was updated as well , so yes it may be because it’s in limbo finalizing.
-
Mines had received and processing and this morning it was unavailable. I called FTB and was told my return is being processed and she told me the unavailable just means it’s almost done processing… and not to worry it is the system being weird…
-
Filed TT 2/12
CA accepted 2/16
FTB reflected received and processing on 2/18
Today status is unavailable so I logged into my FTB account and it shows that my 2020 return is finished processing but payment isn’t issued yet.My theory is that if your return showed a status of processing and now it shows no information, it’s likely your return has finished processing but is in limbo between payment being issued.

Same here CLA13. Called FTB, they said TT. Called TT & held for over 30min to get connected with someone who didn’t respond to my “Hello? Hello?” and ultimately disconnected me and closed the ticket “solved”. Called back and was offered via robo-operator the $60 upgrade to speak with someone which I declined.
Couldn’t get a live person so trying again tomorrow & taking dude’s advice for next year and filing direct with CA.
-
I called FTB… And the guy said it’s for sure on TT end. He said he is getting calls all day with the same issue… All with TT. He suggested I call TT. I am currently on hold with them. I’ve been waiting a while. (((eye roll)))
-
quick question. does the CAFTB wheres my refund tool update throughout the day or just once a day like the Federal WMR?
-
I filled 1/14 directly with CA FTB. Refund was completed and issued 2/17 (not in my account yet). I had issues with TurboTax and CA last year so I skipped TurboTax this year for state filing.
You can bypass TurboTax and file directly with CA FTB if you’re worried about your TurboTax filing. I did it last year. CA will reject the TT filing if you file directly with them.

Turbo taxThe wait begins…
-
My CA return was just accepted. Filed via TT on 2/12, Fed accepted 2/13. CA accepted today 2/18
-
@CLA13, thanks for taking one for the team! Update us maybe? I’m going to reach out to CA FTB. If they say/do anything worthwhile, I’ll update. Otherwise, I won’t disappoint you guys with nothingness.
-
Well…i think it’s TT that is the issue. I’ve read on other message boards and it seems everyone who filed together with their federal return via TT is in this stall. Maybe I will call today… Like it will do any good. Lol
-
update: filed 1/27
accepted 2/11
deposited 02/18filed with free tax usa
-
Same here. Filed 02.12. Fed & State Turbo Tax. Fed accepted 2.13. CA still showing as not received. What gives?
-
Me four. Filed 02.03. Fed & State via TT, Fed accepted 02.12. and already have a DDD of 02.22. CA still pending. FTB site shows nothing received either.
-
@MC and CLA. Same for me too. Used TurboTax, submitted on 2/6, Federal accepted on 2/12 still pending from CA….not sure what the deal is.
-
@CLA Same for me, e-filed federal and CA state using TT on 01/29. Federal got accepted on 2/11, CA is still pending…. This is very unusual.
-
Both Federal and State e-filed via TT on 1/26. Federal accepted 2/10. State still says they have no record of my 2020 return. When I log into TT, it says pending. When should I start worrying? Anyone else have this same scenario?
-
Update: CA Refund Received in account 2/17
Took 4 business days from “issued” date 2/10
-
Filed 2/9
Accepted 2/9
Refund Issued 2/10Super fast! But still waiting for it to show up in my BofA acct. Maybe tomorrow…
-
It says issued 2/11 bit still no deposit yet anyone got anything yet?
-
I filed on 1/14 directly with CA FTB on their website. Been processing every since. I called them last week and they were like “There is no reason this shouldn’t be finished processing yet, it’s been a month” – but it’s still processing. CA is super slow this year.
-
Accepted yesterday 2/14
WMR ca showing “processing” as of today 2/15
It also gives an up to 1 month message but usually they process pretty quickly.I typically get State before Federal and IRS is showing DDD of 2/18…hoping that happens again this year but not sure since IRS accepted first this time around.
-

Does anyone know when California will start processing returns for 2021
-
You need to call them. Don’t recommend just letting it ride through. For some reason this year they want everyone to call them to get verification Questions answered and documents if applicable sent back to them
-
Filed on March 29th 2020, no updates except for received and processing? Anyone know how long it takes, I know it says 30days but I know plenty that get it in 10-14 days

Received my state refund 4/5
(Timeline)
Filed 1/27
Accepted 1/27
Processing Status changed 2/27
Additional information needed
Could take 3months to complete.
No Letter 3/1.
Called agent, received information on documents needed 3/4.
Faxed documents 3/10.
Received letter in the mail 3/12.
Faxed Documents again 3/20
Called 3/4 3/12 3/20 3/25
Agent received my documents and processed refund 3/25.
Received DD 4/1 -
They finally uploaded my documents after faxing 2 1/2 to 3 weeks ago.
Also I faxed twice because the agent continued saying nothing upload yet.
Also I received two different request letters, both were extremely late. One for random selected identify check, then child tax credit dependent check. Two letter came which was odd.
But anyways, lol
The agent said last Tuesday they processed my refund and within 3 days I saw a change to status.Refund issued March 30th, no deposit yet.
-
Anyone receive there state refund yet, or had there information updated yet??
-
they finally uploaded my documents and the representative said they are processing my refund it can take up to four weeks but maybe a little earlier if I have direct deposit but I do have an offset so my refund amount will be lower then expected.
one hurdle jump now this waiting process of actually when it be deposit.
-
just received this so-called ghost letter in the mail today, and it was dated last month.
the odd part the documents requested is half of what the agent told me on the phone that was needed.
I’m being audit based on randomly-selected.ID, w2s from all employers and last paycheck stubs from all. I worked about 3 jobs last year.
(Hold up for me) there’s no way I’m going to get every last paycheck stub from all employers. if I can’t find them in my house. -
Ridiculous is right, @Stek00
a little crazy on the tax franchise department, they requested so many households to fax over documents or Mail.
They should start pushing people through with the refund, people are in need.
-
Me too Stek00 I never received a letter, but the woman I talked to gave me my FTB account number to put on the stuff I faxed. I have absolutely no hope for them to do anything anytime soon. What a bummer too, I could really use that refund now!
-
Same boat @calirosa
Called and got someone say they were going to have someone call me back but told him that I just needed to check on my documents faxed over status and said they haven’t processed them it’s been over a week and still nothing, this is ridiculous!
-
I called multiple times and they still haven’t uploaded my faxed over documents. And nobody offered to push it through. Also I Neve received the letter but was told by an agent what is needed, ID my Social security card W2 and stubs kids information address mail.
Lots of unnecessary documents my income is low for a working mom.
Still waiting.. and nothing
-
I received my return March 12th . Filed January 27th took forever but now “February 24th“ I got a letter (didn’t receive it till March 19th.. saying they want bank statements and SSN for me my kids and husband and birth certificates and also proof of residency . Or it will interfere with my refund… but I already got it . Why did they send this then send my refund anyway. Did it just get pushed threw or what do I do?
-
I gave up for now. I don’t know if anybody is even working in the FTB so with this virus crap going on I’m going to say bye everyone til next time! You guys be safe and good luck!
-
Mines was issued on the 9th of March but I haven’t reviewed it yet,
I filed on January 30th.
Called March 2nd was told a verification letter was sent out on the 24 of February, but i did not receive.
The representative told me that he would push me through without faxing anything. All i did was verify who i was over the phone. -
Received a verification letter dated 3/11. First year ever receiving such thing.
-
@TCJ1
Right it just makes no sense I’ve seen people file after me and get it within 1 week . If their are no issues they should release our funds -
@Justwaitinggggg
I filed on 2/24 and was told the same thing when I called yesterday. They said nothing wrong. People who filed after me have already received their refund. I almost feel like if you filed before the very end of February your return is stuck somewhere.
-
I filed on 2/8 and still not ddd
It went from 1 month to saying it could take 3 months and I called and they said they see no issues with it just give them time. But other people have received their refunds… anyone else get this same status? -
Split my refund between two account and now one is closed and refund been issued I wondering if all my deposit will go into the open account or will a check be mailed
-
Filed 3/5 accepted same day
Approved 3/7
Dd 3/11Filed self employed no EITC and one dependent
-
I received a notice that my refund was issued today, filed on Feb 6th, I’ll update when DD hits, but it says up
To 10 days. -
got an issue date of 3/6 butttttt
still no dd on turbo card *dramatic sighhhh* -
Filed Saturday 2/22 accepted within an hour. Still waiting for an update… last year it took over 3.5 weeks before I received it. Past years I had it within 5 days or so..
-
Who’s still waiting for an issue date? Who’s with me huh haha I have to laugh because I don’t expect to see a damn thing happening with my refund any time soon! With the Coronavirus issue and the FTB’s past record of how they work I straight gave up. I made copies of all they asked for and faxed it to them, even mailed another set to them but I don’t expect chit. I’m still lurking around tho’
-
My return was accepted on 2/24 by the FTB and the status is still showing processing. I called the 916# and was told there are no notices on my account. I am not self-employed and I did not file the young child credit. What could be the reason why it is taking so long to process?
-
Why is my post waiting moderation?!
-
I finally got my check, after faxing in my documents . I had to wait for a paper check that took 15 days. Till next year! Wish all you the best!
-
Finally have an issue date of the March 6th after being told to send in documents which I never sent it due to me waiting on the letter they mailed out I was told back in early February to wait the 35 days and was also told 8 weeks but March 6 issue date is a few days after my 35 day mark I believe. My state was filed 1/23 and accepted 1/30 and issued March 6, 2020 now just waiting on it to hit my paypal account any day now
-
Anyone any luck so far?
-
@sugar
Did you get a deposit yet? -
i talked to a rep at the FTB today and she said if you have an offset it will be distributed as requested on your return (dd for me) and there isnt any hold time….thought id pass this along in case anyone was looking for this information
still waiting, issued 3/3 but she said it shouldnt take more than 7 days.
-
Anyone receive anything yet??
-
does anyone know if you have an offset, will you still get a direct deposit…or will the remainder be a mailed check?
I had an offset a couple of years ago and they took the offset and sent a check. I believe still by the past comments they don’t direct deposit the balance and it says this on the FTB website. I’d expect it to be sent in a check.
-
From my experience the offset will just be taken from your refund and the rest direct deposited
-
does anyone know if you have an offset, will you still get a direct deposit…or will the remainder be a mailed check?
-
@Drenee It sucks
-
Drenee No I was issued 2-12 sent out 2-14 still nothing
-
i already got my feds this week but until now ftb says no records on me -_-
-
@eroro im still waiting I’ve never even actually received the letter they say they sent lmao! Faxed documents on Friday we’ll see what happens
-
If you’re still on processing I suggest you call, they said they mailed me a letter a month ago but I NEVER recieved it, or my pin number for that matter. They told me what the letter stated, I faxed in documents the 24th of February, called Monday and they were recieved and the nice lady pushed my return through. As of March 3rd it’s now issued and waiting on funds to deposit.
The FTB needs a nudge if you’re waiting!
-
Has anyone gotten their check in the mail? Issued 2/20
-
I just got off the phone with FTB at the 916 number. Apparently they sent out a notice over 2 weeks ago and also my PIN but I never received it. They want my SSN, my 2 daughters, their birth certificates, my income records bank statements etc. I’m cracking up laughing, I mean, I have the docs but where the eff did the notice and my PIN go?? I wish I would have called sooner but oh well. Now I’m off to get everything faxed to them and wait for however long after that.
-
In the same boat as you still waiting to get issued. Been stuck on processing since the 15th of Feb
-
So anybody else still waiting to get issued? I am on my way to vote but I’m calling when I get back because this is some bullshit.
-
@ Refundhunt did your check ever come im waiting on mines as well issued 2-12 send out 2-14 nothing yet
-
Stek00
Daily M-F is what I was told by a employee
-
I file my state on 01/08/2020 and still no update on ftb been calling like crazy all I’m being told is wait 8 weeks.
-
Does anyone know when the FTB WHERE MY REFUND WEBSITE updates? Daily, weekly? Still waiting
-
Finally.. Nick push it through today! He placed me on hold asked for my dl#. Verify it, then push it through. Wow. Filed 2/5 with the young child tax credit.

Just reposting my experience!

Timeline:Filed: 2/4
Called 2/6 sent docs
Called again: 2/10 and found out that they did receive the docs. Called back 2/11 and found out more were needed, and sent them in. Called back to confirm their receipt of the documents.
Woke up this morning (2/14) with payment Issued.
Received 2/18 -
@icat that’s great news! Glad you got yours!
I haven’t got the issue yet. Said it needs more time for processing blah blah
I’m holding off on calling, I can wait a while longer. If FTB needs something from me they should have sent a notice by now and they haven’t. Haven’t received my FTB account PIN either it’s been 2+ weeks since requested so FTB needs to do their effin’ job! -
@Stek00
Filed with HR block: 1/24
Accepted: 1/30
Issued: 2/20
DD: 2/26 – at the same time as my Federal posted, just after midnightI am self employed with the young child credit. I didn’t have to verify anything. I just had to wait.
-
Anyone file there return on 02/15/2020 and receive any issue date yet? My status is still on processing. I filed EITC. Still waiting, already got my IRS refund so weird
-
My ca refund was issued 2-12 paper check mailed out 2-14 today is 2-27 still nothing how long does it take geeesh
-
I’m in the same boat Eva! I got my federal dd on 1/29/20 but my state needs extra time?!? I asked for a pin weeks ago and still nothing! I’m calling tomorrow
Did you end up calling? Find out anything?
I filed on 1/24, accepted the same day. So if there was a notice coming you’d think I’d have received it by now. I told myself to give FTB until Monday March 2 before I call. I still haven’t received the PIN for my FTB account either! -
I get a letter from state every year to verify my income basically I send them copies of my checks. I have to wait almost a month to get this letter because I cant fax my info without their cover page that comes with the letter its super annoying but happens every year. If your waiting on a letter it will be a couple weeks from your processing date.
-
Checked yesterday, still processing.
Checked my state this morning and it says issued 2/26, please allow up to 10 days for deposit.
I filed, or rather re-filed, on 2/20 since TT had to update their questions for the 1095A (accepted same day 2/20).
Any idea how long it will actually take to hit my account? I’m having it DD to my Paypal.
-
My friend filed CA State tax refund on 2/20. On 2/24 they said it was being deposited within 10 days. She had the EITC. She got her federal already.
-
I’m in the same boat Eva! I got my federal dd on 1/29/20 but my state needs extra time?!? I asked for a pin weeks ago and still nothing! I’m calling tomorrow
-
This is what I dont understand…. if the IRS(The Federal Goverment) approved my refund why am I having such a time with the State? this literally does not make any sense.
I got my Fed refund today. I haven’t updated on State, still “needs extra time for processing” blah blah blah. I haven’t received any notice from them and I’m still waiting for my PIN for my FTB account too. I’m going to give it till Monday the 2nd and then I’m calling.
-
This is what I dont understand…. if the IRS(The Federal Goverment) approved my refund why am I having such a time with the State? this literally does not make any sense.

@eroro I finally updated today! they need additional information why the hell it took so long to let me know I have no idea!! So fuckin strange
-
@cat
When did you file get accepted for your CA state refund?
-
My State and Federal both just posted. Woohoo!
Good luck, everyone. -
@Mrchampagne
What hotline should i call?916-845-7088 Press one. I saw this on an earlier comment and others.
-
Still no DD. I have never had state take this long before. At this rate, my federal will deposit before my state.
-
@Mrchampagne
What hotline should i call? -
Filed 2/5
Issued 2/20
Dd 2/25 with chime around 930 this morning. -
Still nothing filed 2/3 / same 8 weeks wait.
-
No. It takes about 1 day to upload. You can call them tomorrow and ask for a push. 10 – 15 days paper check up to 7 days direct deposit. A few weeks back a upload would have taken longer but most people got there checks already..
-
I had to fax my children’s documents, called to make sure they received them and they told me it could take 8weeks just to upload to their system, not counting processing time.
I’m sure that’s a blanket statement they have to give, but in anyone’s experience did it actually take that long?
Thanks in advance for any answers ☺️

-
Issued 2/19, still no DD
-
I just checked my status and it says the same thing. I am trying to avoid calling, only because it’s complete bullshit what they’re doing. If my Fed return has been approved with no problem FTB shouldn’t have a problem either. I’m not going to make it easy by calling they’re supposed to send a notice right? I haven’t received shit!
Let me know if you get any answers 😊 -
CA refund status went from “processing” to “ your return needs additional time” with a 3 month time line.?
-
Does anyone have the phone number for the ca ftb to actually speak to a live person?
-
Barbara call the hotline and verify your identity i had that happen to me the last 2 years where it said up to 3 months but it was because they sent a letter needing to verify my identity.
To everyone else.
Mine was accepted 2/3 by state called on 2/18 due to the site not showing status anymore. The following day it showed issued 2/18. As of 2/23 still waiting on my dd to turbo card. Hopefully it will be in there monday.
-
My 30 days are over now i got this message ughhhh
Your tax return requires additional processing time.
Please allow 3 months from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If you received a notice from us requesting additional information, please respond to continue the processing of your return. Allow 2 months from the date you mailed your response for a determination to be made.
-
Mine says issued 2/19 when should I expect DD? I have Chase Bank

I filed 1/23 and got a letter for the documents uploaded to my account on 2/13. Went and faxed everything the same day and called a few times that day and the next. Talked to a nice guy the next day that pushes it through for me but because of holiday i didn’t get an issue date until 2/18
-
I’m a little confused when I see authorized, do that mean accepted? because I filed the 28th got accepted same day and it still say processing.
-
Does anyone know when I can expect dd?
Issued 2/18 chase bank -
It finally updated yesterday.
Filed with HR block: 1/24
Accepted: 1/30

So now the wait for my direct deposit begins.I am self employed with the young child credit. I didn’t have to verify anything. I just had to wait.
Well that’s great!! I’m pretty much the same as you on the filing date, self employed but EITC no young child credit. Let’s hope I see some good news by next week!
-
so my state was accepted on 1/30. Any ideas as to when it will move from processing to issues? how long is the usual time frame?
-
I was issued 2/18 but no dd yet…
I have chase :( -

@eroro How’s it going? Still waiting? I have not heard anything yet but it is still showing received getting close to the 35 days so fingers crossed something happens? IDK what could be the hold up.
-
@mario808
Sorry for trouble one last query.
When did you file? When did you send the document? Did they automatically push ir you had to request -
Danny Green
I called them everyday after I sent in my child’s proof of address, social security card and birth certificate. I needed to verify for the young child tax credit. No self employment.
-
@mario808
So you called for push? What do you say to them so they push?did you had young child or self employment? -

@Mz Cali you’re very welcome
-
Issue date 2/14 and still no dd on turbo card
-
Update:
Just received my DD at 11:00pm PST. Issue date 2/14. Chase bank.
-
916-845-7088 is the number I called and pushed 1 they’ll have the detailed info you’re looking for.
-
Ugh… looks like I will be calling DMV tomorrow.. Thank You!
-
I had to same exact problem. They still took the amount they stated I owed and I will only receive the remainder. I had to contact the DMV and now have to go through their process to get the money back, which they said will take 6-8 weeks.
-
Does anyone know what number I can call to ask about an offset on my state return? I believe it was for past due tags but they’ve already been paid and I’ve even paid for 2020 as well so confused as to why it will show me as still being in collections….
-
I called the 916# as my issue date is 2/14 so I was hoping to have the DD today but nothing yet. I spoke to a super nice lady who confirmed the 14th as my issue date, no offsets and everything looks perfect. She did say the issue date wont really have anything to do with having a specific refund day due to high number of refunds no matter what day you’re authorized it can take up to 4 weeks…not sure why the ftb site says 10 business days. But, hoping it shows up any day now.
-
@samiamcali
Okay thank u I will check again at midnight or the morning. Thank u for responding! -
@Mz Cali
They said that to me on 2/18 and I updated to issues at midnight with 2/18 date -
Called Ftb this morning, as I filed 1/31 and sent verification documents 2/5. They quoted me 8 weeks following submissions of my kids actually being my kids. The guy says he processed it and it would take up to 4 weeks to receive. Does anyone know if it will truly take another month to receive?
-
@ SoCalChocolateAngel I actually used my Chime Card this year, maybe that’s why I received it right away.
-
Still haven’t received DD with 2/14 issue date. Used TT
Card. Called FTB and they said it should be deposited. The representative said “we give you a estimate of four weeks but I’m sure you’ll get it today or tomorrow” so fingers crossed. -
In order to get a nice understanding representative who will look at your documents is the luck of the draw. Some of them are not going to. You just have to call back. I’m glad I did.
Just some advice.

I called today after struggling for weeks to prove dependents and self employed income. I got birth certificate and bank statement. Still I was denied because they didn’t see the bank statement s. I explained everything to a nice representative and she pushed it threw. I will get a paper check. 4 weeks wait.
Call if you’re not getting a deposit date . -
Traditional bank or credit union?
-
Refund released 2/14, deposited this morning. Good luck folks. Feel free to tag me if you have questions!
-
Anybody with an issue date of 2/14 with TT card get their deposit yet?
-
I claimed EITC, no offsets.
-
Filed online via CalFile 2/6/2020, accepted that day. Refund issued 2/14/2020. Direct deposit showed in Chime bank account @ 0505 CST (0305 PST) 2/20/2020. Cheers, hope this helps.
-
I also have a 2/14 issue date and no refund yet. Although I was hoping for a DD today based on previous posts, it can take up to 7 days and the CA FTB website says it can take up to 10 days.
-
@SoCalChocolateAngel
I guess it makes me feel better im not alone, I have same issue date of 2/14 and no DD yet.
Maybe we can hope they just havent dispersed our funds yet today.
Here’s to hoping they show up very soon!
-
Update:
Issued 2/14 and was hoping for refund today by comments, but still nothing as of 5:50am – hoping it just hits sometime in the day.Did anyone else with issue date of 2/14 get theirs yet today?
-
Still no DD for 2/14 issue date.
-
Filed 2/3 still nothing. 2 checks and still told to wait 35
Days. No letter sent.filed 1/24/2020, been on 2 checks ever since. I did call and was told to give it 1 month for processing. They didn’t ask me for verification or docs or anything just wait a month blah blah blah
still haven’t received the PIN for the FTB account either so oh well. -
I’ve been stuck on processing since 2/6. Today I checked the site and it says something alone the lines of, we cant access your return with the info you’ve provided. Has anyone else experienced this? I have the child tax credit. Thanks!
-
Wondering when I’ll see refund… issued 2/18
-
I filed on 2/2, and my return was processed on 2/18. The FTB website is also showing that it can take up to 10 business days before funds are dispersed.
-
Filed 2/3 still nothing. 2 checks and still told to wait 35
Days. No letter sent. -
@ AprilSambrno41
No I think you should see your money tomorrow if your issue Date is 2/14. If you scroll through the comments, others with an offset received their money in 3 business days just like those without an offset.
-
Okay so I filed with HR block this year in early January. I had to verify with FTB was pushed thru on the 13th of Feb. Have a little offset but was told it could still take 4 weeks for me to receive my money is this normal?
-
@Jd
Mine is not showing in my ftb account but am expecting a letter.
-
I filed on 01/22 got accepted 01/27 i have been stuck on 2 check marks since a couple of days after they accepted, i called today and asked if there was anything i had to do and she said my tax return was sent to review dept and i had to wait 8 weeks for a refund or a letter 😩 what the…
-
There is a franchise tax Board advocate if you need help.
Just google form 914 advocates and fax it in. They reply within 10 days. It’s free! -
My refund was finally issued 2/18 . Does anyone know if you have an offset will it show on ca wmr?
If you have an offset, you will receive a letter in the mail. However, if you registered for an account on the CA FTB website, you will be able to view that letter there before you receive it in the mail.
-
Offsets will not show. They will send you a letter.
Congrats @Deedee.
Us 2/14’s should see our deposits tomorrow :)
-
Will your offset show on ca wmr or will you get a letter??? Please anyone thanks
-
If 2/13 received DD today, then 2/14 should receive it tomorrow and 2/18 should receive funds Friday (2/21)
-
Got two check marks right away and have been waiting since the 29th to see anymore movement. I guess I’d better call in and see what’s going on, apparently there’s lots of people having to “verify”
-
@TnT
I am still (im)patiently waiting for my DD. Issue date 2/14.
-
Good Morning!
Filed and accepted around 2/5
Called numerous times and sent numerous docs they needed through 2/12.
Refund was issued 2/13
Was able to access DD this AM.Best to you all!
I will come back and periodically answer any questions that I can.
-
Filed 1/22 with TT
Accepted 1/30All of a sudden it stopped showing status online 2/13 so I called 800# and she said call the 916# the next day as it was close to 5pm.
Checked online 2/14 before calling 916# and all of a sudden it showed authorized/ issued on 2/14 so I didn’t call but still no refund as of 2/19 6:15am. Bank WF
Anyone get their refunds for issued 2/14 yet?
-
Status changed to issued with a date of 2/18. Finally done with this year’s rigmarole.
-
Issued 2/18. Yay!
-
My refund was finally issued 2/18 . Does anyone know if you have an offset will it show on ca wmr?
-
Filed and accepted 1/30 and was finally issued 2/18.
-
Looks like we’re all playing the waiting game *sigh*
-
Yours should be there tonight. According to Green Dot, only work DD come in early… and for them, taxes do not.
-
@bnlav
I have 2/12 and nothing -
I filed 1/20 accepted 1/27 and stuck on processing and got my federal on 1/29 no joke! But state still processing and nothing changed from last year I don’t get it
-
I have a 02/13 issue date and have not yet received my DD. I am trying to maintain my cool.. Keeping the holiday and weekend in mind.
-
Anyone with a 2/14 release date receive their refund yet?
-
It happens overnight. Can’t really pinpoint a time. I’ve scrolled through an most recently people said around 11pm-ish
-
-
Hi Sam,
I cannot say that there is a specific period of time, but from what I have seen anywhere from the same day to a few days later.
Best,
DeeDee
-
@SamIAmCali I would give it a day or 2.
-
How long after calling to have it pushed through did y’all see an update?
-
@mimi
Congratulations. Greendot told me nothing pending for me. Funny what happened to 2 days sooner… -
Just called the number ending in 7088 and pressed one
After a brief hold they said they generated a letter for verification but he could do it on the phone
Have my bank ca ID info and he processed it
Waiting for the update but he said it may take 4 weeks.
So progress!!! -
Congratulations! Is bank of the west a CU or traditional banking institution?
I really do hope that I am able to access my funds tomorrow (issued 2/13/bank with a CU).
Best,
DeeDee
-
Issued 2/12 .. Pending in bank of the west account now. Avail. Tomorrow. For all my “2/12ers”
-
Filed on 1/30.
Called 2/18 and was told I need to submit W2.
Faxed W2, called back later because I was having fax issues. The lady I spoke with said that since I had submitted documents last year, she would go ahead and process my return.
However, the status on the FTB WMR site still says “Processing”. Is that site updated daily?
-
Thanks, Brenda
-
@burtbea After reading on here that quite a few people had to verify, I called in and spoke with a representative who said a letter had been generated for me but hadn’t been sent yet. She told me what documents to send and gave me the fax number. I also signed up for MyFTB but you halve to wait for a pin in order to access the account (which I still haven’t received). Call (916) 845-7088 and choose option 1. You’ll get a rep right away.
-
@bnlav how long did it take you to find out they needed that? I am still waiting on any info to figure out whats taking so long!
-
Been processing since 1/30 called today and was told they needed kids social, my W2 which they should already have on file plus proof of my self employment income with bank statement 🙄 and was told there sending a letter out as well I’m so over this tax season thank god I’m not depending on this money
-
Any one have the number to fax documents?
-
Neenee17
-
They are really cracking the whip this year. I had self employment income and claimed credits. I had to send my ssn, dependents ssn, dependents birth certificate, bank statements and invoice to verify self employment income. Once I faxed those over my refund was released about two days later. My release date was 2/14, still haven’t received anything on CHIME Card yet.
-
Cat.
Birth certificate of child with your name on it. Your federal tax return to show self employed.
-
@Jd
I would call them and see what’s going on.
(916) 845-7088 And press 1
Let me know what they tell you
-
@Jd
Yep, still stuck 🙄 Just spoke to a rep and they told me I was processed 2/13 and have 2 offsets. So still not sure if I’m stuck because of the offset and new balance or if I’m stuck because the system was in limbo from the holiday.
-
Are you still stuck? I am ..
-
Still waiting on my dd issued 2/12. On the green dot card
-
I’m not claiming the new Young Child Tax credit. I do claim EITC but not the YCTC. I’m just going to call and see what they say. I’ll let you all know.
-
They’re requiring a lot of people claiming the new You g Child Tax Credit to verify. Myself and a lot of others had too.
-
They’re requiring a lot of people claiming the new You g Child Tax Credit to verify. Myself and a lot of others had too.
-
Requiring all self-employed with EITC to verify? If that’s the case I’m fine with it but how the hell long does it take to get a letter letting us know that? I mean, if we didn’t know about this forum with others sharing experiences we would be sitting around waiting for a letter? I haven’t received chit from them, not even my PIN for my FTB account (8 days) and my return was accepted Jan. 24th. I’m calling in the morning. FTB needs to get their act together LOL
-
@Brenda what are they requiring for verification?
-
You should call them tomorrow again. There requiring all self employed with Eitc to verify this year. If they didn’t push it threw, your getting a letter in the mail to verify.
-
Anybody recieve california state refund yet ? Filed jan.28th accepted 30th ftb says “prossessing please allow 30days” i also called last week and i talked to a rep and they say i dont owe I dodnt have to submit paperwork and to wait 35 actual days…. i did file self employed with Eitc ctc but I dont think that’s what’s holding me up….. anybody can shed any light on this for me it would be nice
-
@ Glenmartoq thank u so much for sharing!!!!!
-
Same& I’m hoping so ! 🤞🏾
-
I hope so! 🤞🏾
-
It’s still not saying anything on the ftb WMR but when I sign in it says processed so I’m guessing I have an issued date of 2/14. Hopefully I’ll receive funds 2/19. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
-
@Refundhunt. My refund was issued on January 31. And it came in the mail today.
-
@Refundhunt
10 business days is if you are doing direct deposit. If your waiting for a check to be mailed out it says allow 25 business days to receive your check by mail.
-
My state refund was issued on 2/5 according to the website. it’s been over 10 days and I have not yet receive the check in the mail. Has anyone received a check in the mail for the California state refund? Do you guys know when they mail the check out after the issue date? Any help is appreciated let me know!
-
Yes I’m still stuck..
-
@Jd
Are you still stuck? I am and it’s nerve racking. I’ve heard of it doing this for maybe an hour while updating but this long?! 🤦🏽♀️
-
Issue date 2/12
Green dot card
Nothing yet…… -
Me too
-
I’ve been trying to check since about 11pm last night and keep getting “ We are unable to provide your refund status online using the information you provided.” What gives?! It’s been 5 hours!
-
Checked FTB and my refund was authorized Friday 2/14!!!
-
Finally updated with an authorized date of 2/14/20. Filed 2/1. Regular W-2s. No special credits.
-
Called again today they said give it 4 weeks it was processed 2 days ago .. but no change on the website .. when will I see a change on the website?
-
@Newman’s Torment
When was your issue date?
-
Be patient, but not overly so because things do take time, but not more than a week or two for most..
@Joana
5-6 days for most.
-
I had to call in Wed of this week to see what was going on they need to verify my identity right there and then realeased and approved my refund . Today 2/14 showed it was issued 2/13 when should I receive it? Direct deposit
-
@DeeDee I sure hope so. I tried again to check the status and it still gave me the same message. When I called this morning the representative asked me a series of questions and then told me that it takes up to 8 weeks and if I didn’t “hear from them by the end of March to call back” *sigh* I’m not in a rush for the money but its just nerve wrecking being in limbo.
-
Just got off the phone with them and spoke to a pretty cool guy that said all my documents were there and he was going to go ahead and process my return. He also let me know that my return might be intercepted by the edd for an overpayment last year. Lol I didn’t know they could see all of that. Hopefully I’ll update to issued either today or tomorrow 🤞🏽
-
I’m going to have my federal refund before my state and I had PATH craziness!
-
Timeline:
Filed: 2/4
Called 2/6 out of fear for delayed refund due to last years personal experience.
Took documents to the FTB office within that time frame to be uploaded to the system (my fax machine was giving mixed signals)
Called again: 2/10 and found out that they did receive the docs. Called back 2/11 and found out more were needed, and sent them in. Called back to confirm their receipt of the documents.
Woke up this morning (2/14) with payment Issued.
I really need the funds.. hoping to receive them in the shorter end of the timeline of receipt.Be encouraged, you will see your refunds.
-
Filed with HR Block 2/9, accepted 15 minutes later. Approved on 2/11, refund direct deposited on 2/14 @ 5am.
-
-
@SoCalChocolateAngel
They may need your W2’s.. if you have time, you can call that 916 number and offer to fax over anything they might need so you can resume processing..
-
New job only
-
@SoCalchocolateAngel**
-
@SochocolateAngel
Did you file with a new address or anything? New jobs? Different name? Different tx service? Sometimes these things can cause delays. If not, you should call back (916 #), press 2, and let them know you would like to know if you should fax any docs in because you have a simple return but aren’t being processed as quickly as usual, and it is concerning you.
I hope you update soon!
-
After calling several times yesterday, I was told by the last rep that I spoke with that I had been processed by a rep that I had spoken with earlier in the day. I felt like that was a lie since the other reps told me that they could not process me and to wait the 1 month. Smh
Woke up this morning and still no issue date. I have no earned income credits or young child tax credits. :(
-
So yesterday I spoke with a representative in the morning who confirmed that I needed to send in verification documents. She provided me with a list of documents and a fax number to send them to. I faxed all the documents over within the hour. When I checked the status of my refund just now it can’t be found in the system. I entered the information at least 4-5 times and nothing. Anyone else experience this?
-
@Batman
4 business days is usually when deposits hit after the issue date. I say usually but hopefully you see yours today or very soon!
-
Still nothing for issue 2/6 emerald card ..
-
Update from earlier.
It was in fact processed and issued. Not in my bank yet but it’s done -
@34 thanx
-
@32 thanx
-
@Jaimommi .. I had this happen last year for me and some issues that happened to me.. From my experience with it, i chose to have direct deposit when i filed my taxes, so they sent me the letter saying what they took out and will send the rest, aand it was direct deposited for me… .. I should note that this was from my federal … I would assume the state would act the same depending on what you chose to receive your money.. Direct depost, check, Etc..hope this helps a little!
-
@Reba , You should see it by Tuesday the 18th. thats what the estimated deposit date shows for
-
Who has a issue date of 2/12? Keep us updated on when your refund hits your account.
-
@Marie808
Keep updated! We’re all hoping and/or praying for the best here!
-
I filed and accepted the 27th. Was stuck on processing and 1 month message and yesterday got a notice that I needed to submit documents. I claimed CalEITC and the new Young Child Tax Credit. I sent in everything yesterday morning and called a few times throughout the day today. Hopefully I get pushed through to ‘issued’ overnight 🤞🏽 If not I’ll be harassing the ftb tomorrow 😂
-
Filed Jan 27th, accepted 28th, still processing :(
-
Hopefully after path lifts on federal the state will go thru as well.
-
@TEE Thanks for the information.
-
@Tee
I am happy for you TEE! Keep us updated! -
@Lynne I told them I really needed to get my tax return processed because I was in the process of a getting evicted and I really needed the money. I lied a little but hey it works and the rep processed me
-
Yeah I’m calling tomorrow morning. I DON’T have the young child tax credit. Like I said, my returns are pretty much the same as always and this is causing me a little stress so eff it. I’ll let you know what happens.
-
@Tee what did you tell the rep that help you ive been getting told that 8 weeks to and been stuck on processing.
-
Last Years Experience For me:
DeeDee (2019)
Update:
Filed & Accepted: 2/14
Called and faxed in docs:2/21
Called to confirm receipt of said documents: 2/26
CAFTB updated: 2/27 to issued.
I will notify you all of when I receive my check.
This year doesn’t look to much different with my being required to send in docs for verification again and having to call numerous times for answers.
-
Filed around 10 days ago
Called three days after filing and was told that I could fax in new child’s birth certificate
Called back a day after that and was told that it was going to take 8 weeks to process.
Went to an FTB office and had them upload documents
Faxed in more docs to verify further info
Called to see if they were received, and rep told me that the issue had been resolved and that I was processed. EDIT: Told me it could take up to four weeks for DD.
I will update you all on when I have an update. Need it to happen very soon. -

I’m here still.. yea the rep said if u call next week your going to get the same answer. It will be a few weeks. I then said are other ppl getting dd with the same credit. She went on and said she doesn’t know there situation, but some did go through fast. Whatever.
-
@bea
Lol well I’m here with you 🤗 -
@Brenda usually a couple of weeks
-
Accepted 1/30 and still processing
I called this morning to make sure they didn’t need anything else from me and was told that because I had filed the child tax credit it would take longer and all of those have been sent to specific people for processing. She said she would call them and ask for it to be processed as soon as possible, but said that it would still likely be weeks. I was surprised since other people have said that they called and were pushed through to issued on the same day. She said nothing about my being self employed, so I guess it is the child credit holding it up. I was really counting on that money to help me get by this month, so I am pretty stressed about it. I usually get state refunds within a week or two tops. -
@Reba I’m still her waiting! LOL
-
Wow everybody got their money and bounced lol
-
So does anyone know how long it takes to get a check in the mail after the bank rejects it
-
Applied CA state on 2/5
Checked Tuesday 2/11 .. Approved and issued …
Today is 2/13 nothing yet.. But I’m thinking Friday they say 4 business days. -
I did exactly what someone said in the comments. I called the number and I pressed 1 instead of 2. The rep was very friendly and he told me that my return was processed and to wait 4 weeks! Finally!! I hope I finally get that issue date tonight!
-
I called the number in the comments for the hundredth time and instead of pressing 2 I pressed 1. The guy processed it while I was on the phone and he said I should wait 4 weeks for my refund! I hope I get my issue date tonight!! Finally
-
Last year my refund processed so quickly. This year I am seeing several people who have been processing since Jan. I filed Feb 1. :(
-
so today I checked the FTB site & got the message:
“Your tax return requires additional processing time.
Please allow 3 months from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If you received a notice from us requesting additional information, please respond to continue the processing of your return. Allow 2 months from the date you mailed your response for a determination to be made”
Previously this had the 1 month message. Kind of freaking out, I went on the FTB chat & the representative recommended that I call their 916 number. Spoke with someone named Mandy who asked a few questions, verified dd & pushed the refund to be released.
Now just waiting for the site to be updated & dd to be issued!
-
Im in CA. Got accepted 01/29/20. Still stuck in “Processing.” Ive contacted CA State representatives via chat numerous times but keep getting the same message that it could take up to 35 days to process. I am claiming both the Young Child Credit and the EITC and I am self-employed. I finally got through today and they said that my return is pending verification. That is all they could tell me. This is strange because my return every year usually processes in a week. First year that its delayed. :(
-
I filed on 1/11/20 and after a couple of days, my return was processed and stuck on that status. Today I called (916) 845-7088 pressed 1 and a very nice gentleman assisted me. After verifying my info over the phone, he informed me that he would “expedite the processing” on my return and by the end of the approximately 10 minute call, it has been released.
Hope that this helps others in a similar situation.
-
Called again, nothing done, Told to wait 8weeks blah blah. Filed and accepted 2/3.
-
Issued 2/6 nothing here yet. Waiting on emeral card
-
Just called 9168457088 pressed 2. I let them know it was showing processing and now nothing (I lied) lol she checked and said they were sending me a letter because I claimed eic and self employed. So they needed to verify. She asked me what I did, I said Cosmetologist, she asked am I licensed, I said yes in the state of California, she said she would see if she could verify everything for me…..SHE VERIFIEF EVERYTHING OVER THE PHONE. My state taxes are done and processed, should be getting my state refund soon. Also when calling be nice! She sounded like an @$$hole but I asked how she was doing, I joke a lil bit and Bam she proceeded to look and process. She could have just said wait till you get letter
-
@Barbara I don’t even wanna call anymore. I’m so tired of getting that 8 week message.
-
@hannah direct deposit date 2/10? Or just the update issued? And what bank??? If you dont mind
-

-
Update???
-
Issue date 2/12
-
My California state refund fell under review. Due to the interception, my refund could not be DIrect deposited ,
a Check had to be issued and mailed out instead.
The website states my refund was issued February 4, 2020, it is now February 12 and I have not yet received the check in the mail. Has anyone had luck receiving a paper check in the mail? If the issue date is 2/4, when will the Check be mailed out? -
Got issued 2/7 still nothing!!
using the turbotax card for the first and probably the last time.I’ve seen other people using the turbotax card and issued 2/7 but got it yesterday???
Hope it’s there tomorrow morning
Good luck everyone -
Refund issued 2/10
DD 2/12 AT 8:05pmOnly received $85.00 out of $1600. God knows where it went.
Wow! Did you owe or what? At that amount why even give you $85 that’s messed up!
-
I got issued on 2/6 and still no dd some bullshit!!!
-
Issued 2/10 here. Anyone else on the lookout tonight to see if they get DD?
-
@danny no but i did last year
-
@tammy did you had to send any document as you were self employed your business or your social or anything ?
-
Anyone still stuck on processing and have the young child tax credit?
-
Refund issued 2/10
DD 2/12 AT 8:05pmOnly received $85.00 out of $1600. God knows where it went.
-
I don’t want to get flagged by constantly calling but I guess I’ll try again tomorrow. I already gotten three reps tell me the same thing. Ugh this sucks!
-
I called yesterday and said the rep from the chat told me to call in . i called around 2:30 pm. She told me 4 wks. This morning i was processed. I have eitc and self employed.
-
@Mamiana what exactly did you say when you called? Every rep has told me the same 8 week generic message. I just want my money lol
-
@Mamianawhat exactly did you say when you called? Every rep has told me the same 8 week generic message. I just want my money lol
-
@Mamiana What did you say when you called>? HAD YOU CLAIMED YOUNG CHILD CREDIT AND CAL EITC? WERE YOU SELF EMPLOYED TOO ?DIDNT YOU HAD TO SEND ANY DOCUMENT ?? NO MATTER WHAT TIME I CALL ALL THEY SAY IS OH YOU CALLED YESTERDAY AGENT SAID THIS , YOU HAVE TO WAIT 1 MONTH BLA BLA TO PROCESS
-
Well, I’m irritated. The funny thing is I have no changes really. Same income and same address, same dependents for the last 9 years. If anything it would be a simple return to process. But noooo California has to make it a big ass deal. I’m avoiding calling because I can guarantee I will get the biggest ass that works there and it won’t end well haha
At least I have company right? LOL let’s see what tomorrow brings.
-
I had been going back and forth with the people from the 1-800 number and they kept telling me the generic 35 day message. I called this morning as soon as they opened 916-845-7088 and press option 2 the lady was so nice and processed it for me while I was on the phone. This is for California, I would highly recommend calling that number first thing in the morning maybe you’ll get a nice representative. Good luck 🍀
-
Anybody get refund recently? Emerald card hnr

I called after seeing the 30 day message. I wanted the truth as to what is going on. I was told after calling I have to mail in Proof of self employment income and proof of my disabled child. So, I faxed it in. They said 8 weeks before I get refund. Please call if you sitting waiting it’s probably verifying.
-
Wow? 30 days to process? Last year, which was my first year in Cali, I had my refund within a week.
-
@eva I am self employed and also waiting. I was accepted 1/30 and still no movement. This is the first year it has taken so long.
-
@Eva
Self employed waiting -
In the previous years FTB was actually quick at processing returns, usually within a week, two at the most. They have taken a huge step backwards, simple returns with the same address, same employer, same filing status, no dependents, now processing 30 days or more. That’s California for you…. I get the fraud part, but if all the information matches the last 10 years, send the tax payer their refund.

I finally called the FTB to see my status since I filed on 1/28 with no updates . A nice gentleman helpful explained that due to many fraud going they had sent me a letter to verify my identity but says hold on I can transfer you it’s simple question let’s just knock it of now.
So he transferred me a nice lady asked many to verify my info defendants filing status address hubby full name n date of birth and our refund amount. And like that she realased my refund and said wait for the direct deposit to hit.So plz call at the end it wound hurt to call even though every time I speak to the government I get hecka nervous lol 😂 don’t know why but I do..
Good luck hope this helps us CALI PEEPS ONE DOWN 1 to go going try to contact GOOD OLD SAM at the IRS fingers crossed 🤞

just a suggestion for those anxious on getting refunded, if you download the TurboTax App and put in your info there is a section that shows your total refund and Estimated date that you would receive it

Filled TT 1/29/2020
Accepted 1/30/2020Called FTB today at (916) 845-7088 and pressed option 2. Got a live representative right away who stated my return was still being reviewed and could take up to 35 days. At that time they will either process my return or request additional documentation.
I wonder if its taking so long due to the fact that I have self employment income. Anyone else self employed and experiencing a delay in their refund?
Yup me too!!
-
For those of you that sent in documentation (fax), how long did it take for them to receive it/upload it?

I have self employment income and had the same problem last year with the wait. Last year they asked for 1099 to be faxed then pushed it through. This year I faxed it agin but they aren’t pushing anything through. -

Filed TurboTax 2/14
Accepted 2/14
Saw one month message on 2/19
Called 2/20 and was advised that I would need to fax in verifications: Child’s birth certificate, proof of residency, SS cards, and W2’s
2/21 faxed in documents and called to confirm receipt, and was told that I had to call back in two weeks to see if the docs were sufficient.
I have only ever filed with my child, same address, only had $240.00 in self employment income from Doorsash. Didn’t get a 1099-misc because I made under $600.00.
I will update you all. Please share similar experiences with this process. Does it actually take 8 weeks? I pray that it takes much less time. -
Just an fyi for everyone that has refund issued but no dd yet it deposits into your account 4 working days after the issue date so if you have issue date of 2/7 it should be in your account tomorrow 2/13.
-
@Marie808
I feel like you were here last year around the same time I was. I ended up having to submit documents last year. I decided to willingly do so before they were requested this year. What did they end up requesting from you? I sent in all of my W2’s, both children’s BCs, our SSC’s, and my babies immunization records.
-
DDD 2/7, no deposit, I bank with Wells Fargo :/

On a hunch, I called the ftb. I told the rep that last year it got stuck, so I wanted to make sure that didn’t happen again. She pulled up my info and said that my return was in a special dept. She then transferred me to th I special dept. And that last said that since I had is theft with my tax return a few years ago that I was flagged. She said she removed the flag since its been more than 3 years. 2 hours after I hung up with her, the 3rd check mark showed On the fan wmr site and said it was issued on 2/6.
Hopefully it’s in my account tomorrow or tonight
-
I mean DDD of 2/7

Anyone received funds for DDD 2/12 yet? Asking for a friend lol
-
@socalchocolateAngel
I believe it updates once a night in the later hours..
-
@danny I sent in nothing related to self employment but I did last year so maybe that’s why. I was never asked to send anything but I did send in mine and my daughter’s social security cards, birth certificates and my Id. Nothing else and that was simply on the advice of a friend
@brenda no dd yet mine was issued last night. I also had a small offset which I feel may have delayed by approval although no one told me anything I just saw it on my ftb account -
Does anyone know when the ftb.ca.gov site updates? Is it once overnight?
-
@Brenda.. Maybe since you have a regular checking account and not prepaid…good luck!!!
-
Is it possible I might get my refund tomorrow or midnight the website said issued the 4th but when I spoke to the franchise tax board they said it was released the 10th for direct deposit cause I had a small offset what do you guys think
-
That makes two of us. Please excuse my typographical errors, I have been texting but unable to look when doing so.
Try again when you’re ready (to call), and maybe you’ll get a great Rep. -
@Hello
Ok understand. Just wondering why it’s taking so long to be issued. I don’t have any notices coming to me. I will just patiently continue to wait. -
The Young Child Tax credit I was just implemented this year, so it is brand new, and May require some additional processing. This is much different than the other credits which have already been established, thus, taking less time to process.
-
@Hello
What difference is that? If you don’t mind me asking. -

Oh ok, so you don’t have the new tax credit for children under 6.. that is apparently making a difference.

@Tammy
I filed on January 29th and i have 3 dependents ages 13 9 And 6 -
When did you file? And are you also receiving the CALEITC and young child tax credit?
Most people who come back with the 4 week processing end up with a direct deposit day the same night showing “Issued”..
-
I called and was asked a bunch of questions about my return and my dependents. I was told 4 weeks to get it. I’m confused. I was asked the amt of refund and how i would was i receiving it. Why the questions if you guys know about this?
-
@eroro very strange!! I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this. I mean we know they have it but I wonder if that has something to do with the delay as they have always had timely processing.
-
@Daisy191
Oh ok. Yes I see. Thank you.I’m just praying for the best here. I really hate to call back. again, but I’m thinking that I may really need to.
-
@Hello
Thank you, I would say it was maybe 2 weeks after I filed that I started to call because I saw a lot of people receiving their money.
-
@Daisy
Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry. That’s crazy, but I’m glad you aren’t experiencing that this year.How long was it from the time you filed to the time you called them last year?
-
@hello
Last year it took almost 2 months for me to receive my state back I would call every week and the reps would tell me the same exact thing (8 weeks processing) honestly I think it might be a generic response because I filed 02/01 and was approved on the 7th this year. My son is 2 and my Income is under a certain amount so I qualified. I would say keep calling that’s the only way I got mines pushed through last year. -
@Daisy191
That is what I was told (8 weeks) because they haven’t begun processing those returns yet. I also submitted docs last year for verification.. so they know that I am who I say I am, and they even have it documented that I was on SDI due to pregnancy last year.. so I made it a point to resubmit everything now including things for the new baby.. and they said they have them, but couldn’t process yet. Even with me having to submit the info last year it only took 4 days from the day of my submission to the issued status.
How long was your process last year? And do you have any suggestions?
-
@Hello
I have the young child tax credit if someone has told you they did not start processing returns with this credit it is not true. My return was issued on the 7th. Last year and the year before I sent in documents I think that’s why I processed quickly this time around.
-
@Tee
Yes, it seriously makes no sense: I have been told by three different reps that they have to process, and I’m saying, don’t everyone’s? What is so different about this tax. I already verified last year with my oldest. I’m so this year I sent in everything within a couple of days of filing, and confirmed their receipt of these docs.. and still have gotten the same message. I’m perplexed among other things.
-
I used TT debit to clarify
-
anyone who used freetaxusa get their refund yet?! I just want my money 35 days is ridiculous tell me the problem so I can fix it!
I used freetaxusa too. For the last 4 years. My refund??
Nada. Zip. No movement since the 28th of January, stuck on 2 checks. Self-employed, same as the last 9 years and I’m trying not to clog up the lines and shit but this is ridiculous. FTB isn’t earning any stars from me that’s for sure. I haven’t received any notices or have offsets. Ridiculous!

-
Has anyone who has been approved for a refund (DDD) had the New Young Child Tax credit and CalEITC?
I don’t want to keep calling.. but my hardship is real, and I would like to know if they’ve even begun to process these or if I just keep getting the wrong reps when I am calling.

Did you also have the CalEITC credit?
I don’t understand why it would take 8 whole weeks to process my return when I have submitted all of the documentation required to prove that I am my child’s mother and that she lives with me.
Did they ask you to submit documents? If so, how long did it take them to process you?

-
I got some perspective today from a nice guy named Matt.
My refund status actually disappeared on Fri which freaked me out cuz in my experience that means something is wrong. However my balance in myftb had updated to (####), reflecting my refund in my balance. My return had also turned to processed vs processing.
I called this morning and the woman was rude and told me basically if an agent tells you something, believe it over what myftb account reflects because “we are the processor and you’re still processing.” She didn’t answer anything I asked. So I tried chat and got Matt. He told me I’m 100% approved and nothing is wrong but I haven’t been dispersed yet and the right week timeframe is simply a time window given to assure that window doesn’t elapse without someone receiving a refund
So I’m good. Just waiting

No. I used my bank info for the DD. I’ve used H&R blocks debit cards in the past and had no issues.

Issued: 2/8
Now to wait 10 Business days for it to post in my account -
Ok, I called the offset # it’s says non found for my husband or myself! 2 checks since the 28th! No issue yet!
My question is if I am offset, when should I receive a letter? Has anyone received one yet? Or has the system updated to show you that it was offset? Thanks guys
-

@‘B

@Eva
I called (800) 883-5910 and told the rep that my federal was already approved and I had a DDD. However, my state was still processing. I asked him if any documents were missing bla blah blah and he pushed it through.
Very nice rep. Lol
Good luckThat’s awesome haha whatever gets results! I checked when I got my state last year and actually this year is about the same. So I’m going to give it a couple of weekdays before I start calling. Thanks for the number for sure!

Ftb says my refund was issued on Feb 5th can anyone tell me how long it took them to see direct deposit in their acct after the issue date?

Marcy
Haha I called two extra times and two live chats..they just said sorry 4 weeks to issue it even though the first guy I talked to that pushed it through said more like 5 days..I will call again Monday tho! Ty! -
Hi newbie here!
Using TT card
Issued 2/4
No DD yet. Never seen it take this long before
-
You need to call brenda. State
-
I’m also using the TT Card, issue date 2/4 and still no deposit yet.
-
issued 2/5
Anyone issued same day as mine and received there direct deposit yet ???
I’m using the turbo tax card .
-
The last time I had an offset they took it out and mailed me a check for the rest. I remember calling and asking why they couldn’t just do a DD for the remainder and she said they don’t do it that way. Granted, this was a couple years ago, but it might still be like that.
-
@shaystak
I too also have the young child tax credit I also filed on the 31 and issue date of the 4th I did have an offset of 268 but also should be expecting a big refund is that’s why I still haven’t got myne
-
Hello everyone I have an issue date of the 4 th I have bank of America I have the 3 kids and the young child tax credit I am expecting 3222 I did have an offset of 268 for a college fee and a 100 fee for filing my taxes does anyone know if maybe that’s why I still haven’t received myne yet there’s lots of people with issue day of the 4th and already got there refund
-
Hello everyone still no refund issue date the 4th I have bank of America 3 kids and the young child tax credit I was expecting 3222 I did have an offset of 268 and a fee of 100 anyone think maybe that’s why I still haven’t got myne yet
-
Tamiam
Well that’s good you didn’t have a notice Call Monday say last year I had to send some things in and I wanted to know if I needed to send anything in this year. After a month of waiting they pushed mine through. But I’d say something like that so they will look at your account. Call the 916 number press 2
-
@Hannah
I did notice the balance credit on FTB disappear around 2/5 – 2/6. So I’m sure that means they sent it. I had an issue date if 2/4 and saw the refund amount there for a couple of days. Today, it’s zero’d out.
-
Marcy
I do.. and it says no notices this year…what do they need to verify? I already verified my kids last year and my work has been the same for over a decade! -
I believe I read on here that a few people had this same issue but I just went on and it told me they couldn’t find me info. Went onto my ftb and I had a notice but all it was was confirming my documents were received and processed. However I looked at my actual info and it’s all filled in with my refund for tax year 2019. It just hasn’t been dispersed yet. Like my balance shows my credit which matches my refund.
Didn’t a few of you have your info disappear as then you logged back in and it had moved to the three checks?
-
@Tamiam
I am in the same boat. #still waiting. What did they push through? It’s not my refund… -
Tamiam
I don’t know if you have an FTB account but you can look to see if you need to send anytime. My return took a month to get -
Anyone who was “ pushed through” on Monday have 3 checks yet? Every time I call they said it needs more processing time allow 4 weeks. I’m like so I need to wait for someone to look over it AGAIN just to push the “issue” button ???!!!!
-
Hello everyone,
So mine this year was issued 2/3 and if I go off of last years it took 6 days to receive with hr block. Received at 10 pm on a Sunday. -
In I got my return today WF
Issued 2/4
DD 2/8 -
So I filled and was accepted on 1/31 had two checks untill today. Now I have a issue date of 2/7! I have the young child tax credit so maybe that was the delay?

Yay!
Giving you all hope,

On 2/7, I Called State CA Tax Advocate and he pushed it through today with Refund issued 2/7 -
I’m in the same boat. Hoping to see something today if not Monday. Many who had issue date of 2/4 got their funds Thursday or Friday.
-
Ok filed 1/31/ this year issued date 4 of February still nothing I have a young child tax credit does anyone know when I will get my refund

i was accepted on 1/27/2020
i filed with TT on 2/17/2020
and it is being deposited to my Green dot card issued by TT -
So there’s hope on the Green Dot Card!!
-
Filed 1/31
Accepted 1/31
Issued 2/3
Deposit 2/7Received my DD today on my Green Dot card
-
I’m not sure about that @Jess. I think FTB sent them out and it’s up to the banking institution on how soon they process and release the funds. However, with this TT prepaid card I’m not getting my hopes up of it coming in as fast as regular DD into a bank acct. I definitely will not use it again next year. In the “Tax Season Forum” I read that many who got their IRS refund approved and opted for the TT prepaid card are having many issues as there are glitches that the companies are aware of.
-
So are they sent out at a specific time of the day or multiple times of the day or is it random?
-
Dajanet Smith
Yes!! -
If you scroll to 2/1 there were many who received their DD on Saturday. These individuals got an issued date of 1/27 and 1/28 and got their funds in their acct 1/31 and 2/1. Hope we see something tomorrow.
@Ss
I did see @Sarah J post On 2/1 about not getting her funds via TT prepaid card receiving an issue date. I believe she may have gotten in right after as now she’s MIA.
-
@Ashly
What bank? I’ve never heard that and why would they hold on to it? Once it come in it is suppose to go straight into your account -
Wow it took long for you.. i hope that’s not my case ugh
One lady i spoke to actually told me that since it’s a new credit not all of them are trained to process those returns so it has to wait Longer than people who don’t claim that credit -
I just went into my bank and asked if my check was pending yet. They told me they only are issuing DD tax checks on the 7th and 14th. We have a issue date on Feb 5th. Does that sound right. I’ve never heard of a bank withholding a dd for a week
-
I filed 1/7 and didn’t get issued until 2/4. All the times I called no one ever mentioned the child tax issue and I don’t see why that would hold anything up
-
I’m not sure that’s the case with most. If you look at the variation of dates there are people who filed super early. In my case I’ve been told conflicting things so I’m simply trying to figure out what I need
-
@marcy what have they told you?
I filed the 22 got accepted the 28 and been waiting since then stuck on processing -
Barbara
I have a child under 6 and I was never told that. -
How about instead of bothering the people who are trying to process the returns by calling constantly to get your return pushed to the front of the line (before people who filed before you), just chill out and wait for the process to complete.
-
I just got called and told “it’s an 8 week processing time anything else?”
-
@marcy The young child tax credit is a new credit this year if you have a child under 6 and qualify for it. And i am calling the 7088 number
-
@marie rose
Thank a for sharing I thought I was the only one. Specially since I filed both on January 28th and both of them got accepted last night. But the California one is the only that has been “authorized” so I’m hoping it can get deposited either tonight or sometime Arely next week. I as well Weill keep you posted.
-
Barbara
What is the young child tax credit? Is that the normal child tax credit and what number are you calling?
-
@ Peter that happened to me. I filed on the 4th and on the 6th I had all 3 checks. I thought it was weird also. I haven’t received my DD yet but I will update when I do!
-
Has anyone received their California state tax return on a Saturday or Sunday?
-
I give up, i guess i will get it when i get it if i even do because they are now being really rude when i call and keep telling me because of the young child tax credit i have to wait up to 12 weeks for them to process even though i know people claiming the same credit that already received their refund.
-
Filed 1/29 cal state issued feb 6.. Ftb updates once daily.. It usually takes 3-4 days to get to your bank..
-
Reba
I was told
It updates at midnight each night -
Ok, so this is my first time filing in California. I filed through turbo tax and after I made an account on myftb. I couldn’t get a pin because I have no prior year tax return on file.
I also was told I would have to send in docs to verify my kids have been with me throughout the year and blah blah blah.
I just tried to look up my return and I’m getting that ‘we’re unable to’ screen, but I just tried to register to receive my pin with this years tax info and it went through!!
So that should mean I’m done processing right? I would think that if they still needed documents I wouldn’t be able to use this years info until they processed everything.
-
I was told it was pushed through yesterday. I’m stii in processing. How long does it take to be issued?
-
How often does the the ftb site update?
-
@Danny Green
There is a forum especially for that if you use the drop down menu. Go to “Forums” then select “2020 tax season”. From there you will see the forum that matches yours.

On federal tax transcript what does processing date 02/24/2020 means? Why does it have future date? And what does code 20200605 cycle means?

-
Called this morning, told it could take up to 8 wks because of new child tax.
Filed and accept on the 3rd. Stuck there.
-
Call again this morning and was told that “pushed through” just means it’s in processing. Then lectured that hundreds of thousands of people have filed and I need to be patient.
Accepted 1/15
Stuck on 2 checks since then -
I got issued on 2/4, no DD yet, hopefully it posts tomorrow. I bank with Chase
-
If you havent updated I suggest calling FTB. I was accepted on the 1st. Since I am claiming the young child tax credit I have to send in 9 different forms of documentation which can take up to 8 weeks to review.

Also, I never turned any paperwork in. I called and asked what I needed to send in and the best way to send it.. the woman on the phone said no need to worry about it. I was ok and refund was pushed through. Sooo not sure why I was sent a letter about “more info” they already approved me.. weird.

As you requested on your return, we transferred $400.00 from your 2019 refund to your 2020 estimated tax.
There is no remaining refund amount available.

I filed 1/20 accepted 1/27 and WMR still shows processing I’m wait on my pin to see transcripts but we have no offsets. I got my federal on 1/29 so I’m starting to worry about my state. Anyone else in this boat?
-
@lola Fulona
Thanks. I am not being offset then. Mine Just Have the generic message as issued. Yayy!! 😃😃
-
@Kahlea
Yes, it will show on the wmr because my daughter just checked and seen that her money was intercepted from a previous school grant.
It will show only AFTER it’s issued. -
Thanks! I am over an out LOL!
I wish everyone luck!
Since I was issued on the 4th, I bet all of those who were will receive there deposits by tomorrow. I just received mine a day earlier cause Netspend always releases my refund early and doesn’t hold it. -
@Danny green
When I called I asked if they could see if I had any errors or anything that I may need to do on my end to complete the process and sure enough it was.For me, had had to review to push it through I believe because of the credits.
-
@Danny Green
I just stated that there was no updates.
-
Comgrats Friend!!!

Still no DD or pending
Issued on 2/4

Check later tonight around 11pm
-
Hi everyone! What is the number to call to try to get my refund pushed through? People seem to be doing that and I would like to try it also. Thanks in Advance :)
-
If you check your transactions from previous years, the CA refund has several numbers including one that’s a date in this format:
020318
or
020819It is, I assume, the “issued” date because it is 3-4 days prior to the actual date of the transaction (e.g., the direct deposit). So, there’s that.
-
I called them (7088) they pushed it through around 1pm. When does it show that its been updated? I still have 2 checkd
-
Another hypothesis is issued means added to batch that will be ACH’d on day X of the week where day X is maybe every wed and friday.
-
Also issued probably doesn’t mean that the deposit was initiated through ACH considering that chime and other Banks like chime would post dd same day, and one person that did receive through chime from what I remember seeing was days after being issued.
Issued is probably something like approved to deposit….steps in between that take days, e.g
Approval from treasury maybe…then ACH initiation. Anyways if you find that chime example it’s probably good evidence of how long it takes them to send out the deposit, but one should also consider the day of the week that it was received -
@V
Yeah someone did u gotta search though its somewhere in this thread

Has anyone with chime get the DD yet?

I’ve been looking through the thread and approximately people who got issued seemed to get their DD 3 business days after or the night before that depending on their receiving bank. Someone who’s super anxious and bored could probably just consolidate all of that into one post so u can see what it looks like….I’m too lazy though

@Marcy
I only have a basic ftb calfile accnt so it only shows if they received your return for this and previous years
-
Ss
If you have an FTB account you can look to see if it says processed -
Frustrated
Since you filed Calfile check your FTB account and see it says processed then you will know if it’s done.
-
@marcy
Yeah I’m sure it’s the same 916 number option 2. I just think mine is lagging because I did it wed instead of Tuesday maybe there’s some processing timeline that allows for faster movement if done Tuesday instead, e.g., they send out batches for deposit wed with a batch that cuts off Tues. That’s my guess
-
Also @Bee
I’m in the same TT card boat. You probably noticed but the other person on the thread @Sarah J was complaining she got issued 1/28 Tuesday and then complained 02/01 (sat morn) that it wasn’t there and then never posted after. I’m assuming she got it maybe soon after hopefully later that sat

Ss I called Tuesday pushed it through and it updated that night says issued 2/4 what number are you calling

Been waiting sinceCalled and they said they would “push it through” on Monday. It’s Thursday and still no update on wheres my refund. Called again and they said it was approved but takes up to 4 weeks to send the refund. Direct deposit so I have no idea why that takes 4 weeks.
It’s all overpayment because the company my husband worked for made a really big deal about changing withholding. It’s not credits… It’s literally our money they’ve borrowed interest free. Just want it back. I’m so frustrated. -
Anyone was already issued or is expecting a refund on their prepaid paypal/netspend card?

@RR
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Hope we see something tomorrow!! I opted for the TT Prepaid card this year so I don’t know how that will go. 🤪

Eitc and ctc have noting to do with state return. I filed 1/7 issued 2/4
-
Anyone who claimed california eitc or child credit got approved?please respond if yes when did you file and when was it processed and when did status changed to issued?
This is for california or any state return -
Approved date was 2/3
-
I have a DD of feb 3 also and no deposit yet. I’m with first Interstate bank out of Montana
-
I have an issue date of 2/3 and still no DD. I see that some people with the same issue date received their deposits so I’m wondering if it’s just those of us that bank with Wells, that are still waiting.
-
I wouldn’t worry about it @mixedme you’ll likely see an update on WMR tomorrow or the next day. If you get an unable to retrieve message from FTB it means they are updating it.
-
Nope, no deposit yet. From the messages below, it seems like people who got “issued” on 2/3 got their DD overnight so it is possible that those of us with 2/4 will start soon. Crossing fingers!
-
If they told you they would push it through I wouldn’t bother. Like someone stated on here…. they keep a log of how many times you call. If you didn’t get a “push through” message then call.
@RR
Did you receive anything yet? Nothing on my end.
-
Im just trying to figure out why people who filed after me have received their returns already? Does EDD verify everyone single employed person who files? She did not ask me to submit any paperwork from my employer, she said she was pushing my file thru and I will be receiving my refund in the next 4 weeks.
-
@hulagirl Thank you but she told me yo upload them on my ftb account but I’m fax them as well
-
@mixedme the EDD (employment development department) is slow on receiving and reporting last quarter withholding. I just faxed my last paycheck of the year and my W2 to them.
If anyone decides to send documents, make sure you call and ask what your account number is and put the number, first and last name, and why you are faxing documents (ie to verify final quarter withholding, to ID verify, or whatever your needs are) -

As of today still processingCalled 916 number spoke to a semi friendly rep, she initially told me my file was sent for review and I needed to wait 35 days from the date I filed to either receive a letter or my refund. I responded and told her, that was very strange because I have already received my federal tax return on 02/04 and I ALWAYS get my state first. She said, let me look at something and then she told me, she does not know why I was under review when I was only claiming wages and she is pushing my file thru. She verified if I wanted to receive DD or paper check and I would now receive my refund within the next 4 weeks. WTFFFFFF!! What is going on with the state!!!!
-
@Djanet Smith here is the fax number to send your documents. A lot easier than waiting on the mail.
916-843-6036
-
I’m seeing there’s a pattern of 3-4 business days for people to get their DD. Hopefully Friday is the day for me. But lately Navy federal doesn’t show scheduled deposits I just know when I know 🤦🏻♀️
-
Thank you, Marie Rose. I’m just wondering if they are doing it similarly to the Fed return, and processing those with credits later..
-
Just called and got the it’s processing and being reviewed right now and that it would take up to 8 weeks 😳🤔😩🧐🥺
-
So I filed 21st
Accepted 23rd
Still processing so I called this am
She said it processed yesterday and issued, even though it’s not on WMR. I filed through calfile MFT, have navy fed. I’ll update when I get a deposit. I had the 30 day processing message too. This year was a mess. -
Has anyone got a dd with WF? How long did it take after it was issued?
-
If you have the one month message do call them and see if your return has an error I spoke with a very nice lady who informed me that I will be receiving a letter requesting more documentation she told me everything to send turns out even if you w2 is a 124 you still have to file it with them anyway the number I called is (916) 845-7088

Woke up this morning to pending deposit in my Credit Union for 2/7.
My WMR never updated to 3 checks still stuck on processing. .
-
Hello Marie Rose,
Did you file with any credits?
-
Filed on 1/31 accepted same day.
Got the issued check mark for 2/4, I can update when DD shows up. I’m assuming beginning of next week? -
So I filed on the 4th and accepted on the 4th and checked WMR state today and had all 3 check marks and the 10 day message… that seems a little fast to me has this happened to anyone else???
-
I was issued 2/3 I had given up hope and it just hit my account 1 minute ago. Everybody issued 2/4 I have a feeling same time tomorrow is when you see yours.
-
Plainjain…sadly no…been waiting since Monday for issued check mark
-
My WMR literally says accepted January 23rd…so the 27th theory is obviously wrong.
-
@stef
Same here. accepted on 1/24 been calling since Monday said it has been authorized but WMR still states processing
-
I was accepted on the 24th called on monday and still just have processing
-
– Filed and accepted 1/27
– Processing with the second check mark and 1 month message since that date.
– Called at about 4:45 pm on 2/5 to ask about refund. Told everything looked okay and agrees push through the authorization, but I could take up to 4 weeks to receive.
– Spent all evening obsessively checking the app and about 10:45 it told me the website was down, but there was no scheduled maintenance.
– 11:05 I checked again and finally had the 3rd check and issued as of 2/5 message.So, I definitely feel that calling is a good thing. Especially if you were accepted on 1/27. Those people seem to have gotten trapped in some loop. Hope this helps someone else.

Filed with TurboTax 1/30
ACCEPTED 1/30
AS OF 2/5 IN PROCESSI HAVE DD WITH NETSPEND
SAYS ONE MONTH NEEDED TO PROCESSWILL UPDATE
-
Just FYI…there were early filers that did get accepted before the 27th. I filed on the 17th and was accepted with 2 check marks on the 21st. California happens to be 1 of 7 stand alone states that don’t piggyback off of federal returns. This means CA typically doesn’t wait until the irs “opening date” to process and issue state refunds.
Something definitely has changed this year because the trend on this forum seems to be that regardless of the acceptance date, people Still didn’t actually see “issued” on dates on ftb until after the 27th. Who the heck knows…
Idk…just run me my money California! Don’t they know we all have high ass rent/mortgages to pay?! Lol

@jmart thanks for posting that. I was feeling like I was being called out.
Sorry I was very frustrated earlier. I think many are being told many different things and we all just want our refunds. If you still processing call and see what it going on with your refund. Mine was issued 2/4 so we will see when I get it. -
I Filed with CalFile and was accepted on Jan 20.
The IRS didn’t start processing till the 27th, but California FTB started earlier. -
Yes, give it a couple more hours for an update. I called around 1pm yesterday and got “issued” around 11pm.

-
Ok, I believe you and am sorry for my sarcasm. It wasnt meant to single you out. However, the whole process of filing, acceptance, and being issued probably, in my best guess, has a lot of factors to determine moving through these steps and priority (to being issued in particular). It’s likely not just simply a chronological queue like lining up to buy groceries. That said, I doubt many people share your particular situation because most people will file with the intent of filing their federal return and accompany that with state, thus they probably filed starting based on date that IRS started which was reported as the 27th.
-
I’ve been stocking this forum. FIgured I share my experience.

Ss
If I could
Post a picture on here I would just to show when I filed and how long I sat in processing. When you file through Calfile you get accepted same day then to processing with the wait one month processing. If you call the 916 number they tell you their department didn’t start processing those returns until last week. That department is for those that may have issues or Have to Id verify. There are other people who have posted they were accepted prior to Jan 27th. -
FYI a co-worker an her boyfriend both got there ca refunds this pass weekend they filed on the 21st.. just sayin… the state has been working. Because she was at Costco getting it in.. Facts
-
Basically the State processes randomly?? Just due to the fact that I filed in the 30th an people who filed after me are getting a DD..
I think what is making us confused is at least for me H&R Block never sent my refund for my state in period. They weren’t ready.. after having to talk to a manager.. These companies are about there bottom line. So that’s why it seems like a wait.. which sucks.. God always provides. But I will take that refund.
-
The eagerness of everyone on here suggests early filers, especially those with extraordinary acceptance dates would have flooded this thread…..hmm….my logic is tingling
-
Yeah how come no one else on the forum posted an acceptance date prior to the 27th
-
I talked to someone on at the 7088 number today and she said she authorized it and give it up to 4 weeks to recieve. This is what others were told and then they received an issued message, right?
-
Ok, I believe you @Marcy.
My source is someone at FTB I talked to last week after my e-file bounced via H&R Block and she said tax returns did not start processing until 1/27, the day tax season officially opened according to the CA state calendar.
https://www.kron4.com/news/business/2020-tax-filing-season-opens-jan-27/
-
Hi I got accepted 1/28 and I was issued yesterday just waiting for it to hit my back I claimed eitc also
-
And to make it clear I have not received a dd yet. I just updated to issues this morning
-
My refund was accepted by the FTB on Jan 7th. I filed Calfile. So yes I did file early but the FTB started accepting and began processing returns on Jan 2. That message was posted when Calfile opened on the FTB website. I know others who received theIt money before 1/27 so technically I waited 4 weeks and I contacted FTB before I even filed to make sure they were processing returns.
-
I’m usually the person that steps up and provides moderation and clarity using aggregated evidence and what we know for sure, to maintain sanity for threads like this that can often lead to confusion or misleading ideas. To this end….
@rr clap. :)
-
Just to be clear, and not to contradict @Marcy:
Even if you file very early, say on 1/7 like @Marcy did, the FTB did not officially accept your return and began processing until 1/27 at the earliest. January 27, 2020 is the first day of tax season in California and they do not being processing returns until that day.
So in reality, @Marcy did not wait *4 weeks* for it to be DD. She basically waited one week.
Hope this clears up things for some people. Happy to answer more questions.
-
Tamiam mine took exactly 4 weeks so yes it can take that long
-
So it was approved on Monday but not issued so I called they told me 4 weeks… since when does it take 4 weeks to get issued wtf such b.s
-
@Bea
Oh no. The PIN should take a couple of days through mail. Hopefully, you’ll get an update on FTB before that.
-
Ugh just called and got the same 8 week processing message. I’m so annoyed! I guess I’ll wait to talk to another agent.
-
Has anyone with issued 1/31 date have a DD yet? I have BOfA.
-
So I called and spoke with someone again today. Each previous call I was just given the same bs “you’re processing, just wait 4 weeks, 6 weekS or 8 weeks” message. Today I decided to go with a different approach and play the sympathy card which I hate doing btw. Told the lady that “I was so sorry for being a pest but I’m depending on the money. I know I shouldn’t depend on it but this year I am, yada yada”.
Anyways, this sweet sweet woman verified my info and told me that she pushed my refund through. Fingers crossed that It was true and I see some sort of update by Friday as I’ve been processing for 2 damn weeks now. I’ll keep y’all posted!
Called the 7088 number

@rr
Can u update when yours deposits?
-
Filed 1/27 via Cal File
Mine showed as processing every since so I called yesterday and the very nice agent processed my return on the spot. My refund was authorized the same day.
-
Marcy,
Thanks for the feedback. Just checked into current tax year summary, nothing issued. I do see the rest of the breakdown, my credits.
Hoping for that update :)
-
I filed 01/22,
Got accepted 01/ 27
Been stuck on the processing since then and i called today and the lady told me to i have to wait 8 weeks because i claimed the young child tax credit Is that true? -
lizzy if it says processed then your refund status won’t change until after midnight. I was told that the refund status changes only once a day at midnight.. if you look in your account and click on your refund year scroll down to see if it was issued.
-
@Tee when I called I had reached the 4 week mark and I asked if there was anything wrong with it. They looked into it and that’s when they pushed it through
-
CA STATE filed 2/2
Accepted 2/3
Processed 2/5 reflected as of this morning.
Signed back in, showed not received lo, must’ve been glitch.
Tried again 20 min later, shows processed.I may have an interception going on. Any info on how that works?
-
So who else spoke with rep on Monday and still sees processing today?
-
@Tee
I said that my refund status was stuck in “processing” since last week and that I was wondering if there was anything wrong with it because in previous years it had been updated to issued 2-3 days after filing it.
That was my basic script.
-
I feel like bugs bunny today. I’ve called so many times that it takes them 10 mins to sort through the notes to come back with “it updated yesterday to processed” I’m over here chewing my carrot like mkay okey dokey you betcha how about a refund date? Anyone? Crickets….
-
@Bee I tried to sign up for one but im waiting on a PIN!
-
@Tee
I just stated I haven’t seen any updates on FTB site.
-
I have a quick question for the ones who called. What do you ask them when you call. I want to call but I don’t know what to say!! I’ve been waiting since 1/20/20
-
My bf got his refund today. Filed 1/28 was accepted 1/28 and refund issued 1/30 and received DD today 2/5.
-
Hey everyone….. another way to check if you’re approved….. if you have an FTB acct or sign up for one…. once you’re in under “account information” you should see the status. Mine states “2019 processed” which means issued…. yesterday it was not there. You can also use the drop down menu top left, go to “account”, the select “Returns”. If you don’t see “processed” for 2019 then it has not been issued yet. Hope this helps.
-
Much appreciated. Thank you. :)

I think WMR is updating or down. I tried multiple times. I’m seeing a lot of you with the same problem.

Yes, the 7088 number.
@Everyone else
If you get the message: “We are unable to provide your refund status online using the information you provided,” TRY AGAIN. Another person and myself had the same message the first time we checked, then checked immediately after and it appeared updated to ISSUED. It was yesterday night, around 10-11pm.
-
@plainjane, I called yesterday around 1pm and @RR around 2pm. I checked last night around 11pm and it was updated to “issuer”.
Those who are receiving “ We are unable to provide your refund status online using the information you provided”….. try again right after. I thinks it’s a glitch. If you try again a 2nd or 3rd time it will come up.
The number I called was 916-845-7088. Spoke to a nice man who helped pushed my refund through. He stated it would take 1 month to see the funds. Now that it’s issued it states “10 business days”. Checked TT prepaid card nothing yet.

@PlainJane
I called yesterday, checked this morning and was updated. -
Did anyone who got refund approved over the phone get deposit without wmr moving to issued? Called Monday ..approved…still waiting for issued

I keep getting this Message

Accepted 1/27I have had two check marks since 1/27
I called the 916 number yesterday and she advised me that she made a adjustment to my return it was off a couple dollars and not to worry to wait 4 weeks to receive It.
But now I can’t even track it ???”We are unable to provide your refund status online using the information you provided. “

In another post I was comparing my last 6 years of receiving my state tax. I have received my state tax exactly 6 business days after acceptance for the last 6 years. So hopefully it hits my prepaid card through turbo tax by tomorrow. My first year with this prepaid card and it’ has not been a smooth one. Will keep all posted.

@RR, try again. I tried twice and the first time I got the same message as you. Then I tried again right after and I have “ISSSUED”!!! Issued 2/4 please allow 10 business days. 😄😄😄😄

Path message 2/1 for Federal
Called CA state 2/4 around 1pm (scroll for earlier post)
Issued 2/4 (checked at 11:30pm)I called CA State and was told they would push through my refunds. I checked throughout the day for a 3rd checkmark and nothing. Stopped checking after 7pm. Checked now and I have “issued 2/4 please allow 10 business days for DD”. However, I filed through TT and did the prepaid advance. So we shall see. Will keep all updated.

Just checked (10:45pm) and now I’m getting the same message as others:
“We are unable to provide your refund status online using the information you provided.”
Hopefully this means it’s moving forward!
-
Called the 916 number today and was told I needed documents sent in. I can’t use the myftb website because this is the first year I’m filing in California. Does anybody know if I can possibly fax my documents in while on the phone with the rep and they’ll process it right then? The lady told me it takes weeks for them to process documents that are randomly faxed and mailed in.
-
@girlgirl Mine did the same, I had that message over the weekend, and majority of Monday. When I checked Monday night, my status changed to refund issued. The status says it may take another day to process the refund, and sure enough it did.

Issued 1/30 just got mine at 1pm through chime
-
No this was maybe 30 min ago I was just curious if anyone has been told that
-
Oh…. when did you call? I’m assuming it hasn’t moved to “issued” on the system, is that right?
-
They told me that they pushed my refund through and I should get my dd soon. I have been waiting since 1/7
-
@Marcy
They told you what?
-
My daughter files 1/24.Her state was authorized today 2/4 (at like 2 am it changed.) She didn’t receive her DD.
-
Has anyone had luck with them saying their pushing your return through? I called the 916 number and they told me that.
-
@RR, hope we get some updates soon. Would like to see “issued”…..🙏🏻🙏🏻
-
@burtbea login into the FTB website look in notices they will post what you need
-
Did the same as @Bee: called the 916 number posted below, pressed 2 from the main menu, a person picked up the phone immediately and verified my identity, asked me to hold to check if my return needed any changes, and then proceeded to tell me he would process my refund.
He then asked additional questions to finalize processing (whether I chose DD or check, name of my bank, CA DL number) and that was it. He said allow 4 weeks to be deposited, but I assume that’s the standard they are told to say because it does not depend on the FTB but rather on the bank once it is issued.
It still does not show as issued on the system, but I’ll update as soon as it does.
-
@HulaGirl that’s who I spoke to, going to try the regular number and see if there is anything they can tell me! Thanks for all your tips!
-
@Bee same to you doll
@Bea try calling the number and pressing 2. Those are the peeps that can tell you what they need. -
I called the number just to see what they would say, apparently my file was referred to them but she was unable to tell me what documents they needed and I havent actually gotten a letter!
Is there another # that might be able to tell me what documents I need??
-
@Hulagirl, hope you get some good news soon! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
-
Oh, ok. Thanks, @hulagirl!
-
FTB updates in real time.
-
@Bee no I’ve only had 2 check marks. That’s why I had to call again because dude told me yesterday it would update on FTB but it never did. I know that they are separate departments so I might try calling the main number and see what they have to say but I don’t want to be labeled a nuisance caller and resequenced to the bottom of the stack. WAIT FOR IT. UGH.
Filed 1/20
Accepted 1/27 -
Calfile
Filed and received: 1/29
Processing since: 1/30
Issued: N/AFor those who filed before 1/27, there’s no way your return was accepted until that date because that’s the day “tax season” officially starts in California and that’s the first day the FTB accepts tax returns (confirmed by person on the phone). I filed federal and state through H&R Block on 1/24 and my CA tax return bounced for that very reason.
Anyways… does anyone know if FTB’s “where’s my refund” site updates throughout the day or is it overnight?
-
@hulagirl
So are you still processing? If you count 35 calendar days from the day you filed you should expect a refund or letter by then -
@hulagirl, that bites!! Didn’t you have 3 check marks?
-
I\m going to call tomorrow to see if it got pushed through because I think I had to call twice since the first person said they did but actually didn’t. Oh man my head is spinning!
-
@hulagirl, Oh crap! I didn’t know they keep a log of how many times you called! We are all probably talking to the same guy..lol.
-
@hulagirl, LOL! Fingers crossed! 🤞
-
I have officially called so many times that I spoke to the same guy that told me yesterday that my refund was processed and to expect a refund in 14 days and he tells me today that he needs to apologize for giving me incorrect information and that it takes 2 to 4 weeks from the time they received it and that it’s not approved so I’m back to square 1. Can’t keep calling because they have a list of how many times I called. It’s a small amount of money but I’m trying to buy plane tickets to Maui FFS. Lol
-
Will keep everyone posted as to how long it will take to get the 3rd check mark after this call was made today.
-
I just got off the phone with A really nice man named Hex. Called the 916-845-7088 that @hulagirl mentioned. Was on hold for maybe 2 minutes. You have to verify your name and address and give a good number to be reached at Incase you get disconnected. Once verified he checked my refund, placed me on hold to ensure there are no hold ups or corrections that needed to be made. He came back on and told me everything looks good. He also stated, he was going to push through my refund as it’s sitting there to be processed. I have Had 2 check marks on the California Website since 1/29….filed 1/24…. accepted 1/28. (It was already on “processing” for the last 5-6 days)
He did mention that when it’s being processed it sits there in the system to be looked at again. So I’m assuming by me calling he helped processed it even further (meaning pushed through To get to issued soon). I honestly thought mine was being held because it’s a big amount ($4500). That’s not the case, just need to call and have one of them push it through just like how the others in here recommended.
For the last 6 years I have gotten my state refund DD into my bank account within 6 business days from the date of acceptance. Tomorrow would be the 6th day however I opted to use the turbo tax prepaid card (never again).
-
I’m on hold again. This is just a sport now. Let’s call and see who will push the approved button. @Lola Fulona I got my fingers crossed. This time I pressed 2 and she didn’t know WTF was going on so I’m calling back to press 1 again. Lol
-
@hulagirl, LOL, they moved you from 4 weeks to 14 days. Maybe if you call back you will get to 5 business days.
It seems they are just randomly picking times. -
I called the regular number today and the said it should be done by the 11th but who knows. I feel
Like I’m getting the run around. The 11th would be 35 calendar days I don’t understand any of this. -
@hulagirl, no I’m still on 2 bars.
Yeah, I think I remember you giving us the number last year and someone at FTB pushed it through at that that time as well.
I think we should have 3 bars by tomorrow or Friday. -
@Marcy they ask for SS full name address and phone number. For the last 3 years I’ve had to verify withholding with my W2 and last paycheck stub of the year so I anticipated that and faxed them in. That also gives me a reason to call so it doesn’t just seem like I’m jonesing for money lol.
Anyway just got off the phone. Again. The guy yesterday said it was approved and I’d see a refund in 14 days. This lady says it’s approved but still processing and could take 4 weeks but that’s “what she tells everyone”. So I’m confused. If it’s approved why is it still processing OMG. Also, the First Lady hung up on me when I was in hold. I think I’m getting the runaround. Might have to call again lol -
@hulagirl did you have to verify anything when you called that number
-
FTB WMR updates in real time. I’ve called with 2 bars had it pushed through, checked it and it said 3 bars immediately.
The number to call is (916) 845-7088
The number to fax is (916) 843-6036
Make sure you call the first number to get your account number before faxing. This is just for people that have to ID verify or verify withholding. -
Has anyone who had the two checks and 1 month processing message gotten a DD?
Hopefully if you did you haven’t already bailed on us. Lol
-
I asked that this morning it updates at midnight well that’s what FTB told me
-
Does FTB WMR update throughout the day or just once a day? Anyone know for sure?
-
What number did you call?
-
@bnlav I went through this last year. Login to FTB website go to notices and you’ll see what they are asking for. Then upload the info into the email and then call them it’s faster doing it that way
-
Called FTB today and turns out that they’re sending me a letter to verify all the info on my return. Looks like it’ll be a long wait for my return this year.
-
Anyone has issue on 1/31 got DD ? I got issue on 1/31 but don’t see DD up to today
-
@Lola did you get your 3 bars on Cali Where’s my refund? They told me the same thing yesterday but I still only have 2 bars. I’m starting to wonder….
That’s a good number I got a few years ago from a CPA and yeah the truck is to be nice and keep calling until you get someone that’s nice as well. -
For those of you that are still getting through to a difficult person on the FTB phone line, just keep trying until you get a nice person to push your return through.
Use the number that @hulagirl suggested. Thanks @hulagirl!
I called and got a nice gentleman that reviews my return and then pushed it through but said it would take 4 weeks for my refund…lol. Well at least he pushed it through.hulagirl
-
So after 4 weeks of waiting I call the FTB this morning and once again it’s the same thing it’s processing. They can’t even explain to me what that is. They told me I will either have my refund or a letter by the 11th. That would be 35 calendar days since I filed. She said there is nothing wrong with my return. Those who are waiting can also check their account on the FTB website.
-
Still waiting on mine. It was issued on the 30th. Does liberty take out their taxes and advance from state or federal? Or is it whichever comes first?
-
@lilstef
How did you contact them? The person I spoke to just said it’s processing and hung up -
I filed on 1/27 and accepted same day. Was stuck on processing with 2 check marks. Tried to check today and it said my refund couldnt be found??????

@ Marcy! Thank you! I work and I’m a single mom so I’m like you want me to make copies and fax stuff? What?? Lol annoying!! But whatever they say!
-
Jackie
I had to do this last year. The easiest way to do this is upload it all in your FTB account and then call the number on the letter to make it go faster -
How cool thank you. I hope when ftb told me that it would be any day now
-
I just got a letter from the FTB today.. they’re asking to verify my identity.. I’m like really? I’ve never had a problem and now they need all my info?? Wtf.
-
@kris
Oh ok I have BofA still waiting
-
@805mike I’m from the O bro and yea they go through state controllers office
-
Do the refunds go through the state controller?
-
I just called and was told I was approved and they are waiting for the controller to send the money to my bank. But still have two checks. Anyone else hear that it’s up to the controller
-
@Annabanana619
Exceed Meta Money Network is the one im using, its for walmart associates or former associates.
-
@Kris do you mind if I ask what bank you have
-
Whelp speaking of which just got my CA Tax Refund DD Feb 3rd 6:02 pm
:D now i’m happy -
i claimed CalEITC for my ca tax and got approved and issued on jan 29th. From what i hear PATH does not effect CalEITC only EITC (federal). So should be no delay for CA State Return only Federal will be held back till feb 15th.
-
It takes 5 business days to get your refund after being issued
-
Dayna you can see your transcript on the irs website
-
DannyV
Where can we see our transcripts? -
I have a transcript but I’m on path and I think a transcript has nothing to do with this. I know others who are also sitting on path who have their state refund.
-
Filed 1/28, Processing 1/30 (2 check marks), today it still shows processing.
I also think it has to do with a complete transcript.Im a weekly (05 cycle), and I have a blank 2019 transcript that updated last Thursday (1/30). This Thursday I should update (crossing my fingers). Let’s see if FTB updates as well.
-
This is straight bullshit, all the 1 month time frame and the issue date not being the day the money is sent. FTB has shown in the past they can receive, process and “issue” a return in as little as 9 days (my son got his last year in his account 9 days after he filed.) First the IRS stalls us with the PATH wait, now FTB is pulling the same. Sure wasn’t hard to take the taxes out of paychecks right? It’s like pulling teeth!
-
(916) 845-7088
That is the number. Y’all may have been calling the fax number I posted.
-
Refund issued 01.31.2020 but I still haven’t received my direct deposit either with Chime. I even contacted Chime and they said that its definitely not being held by them and that The State of California hasnt released the funds yet for some reason. I
-
@hulagirl
916 # is not working, -
Tried 916 # just rings as busy
-
I had been calling and calling that number. I’m the one known as Herbs that posted it in an old forum. Anyhoo finally had luck with it today. My problem every year is that my return shows incorrect withholding from the final quarter of the year. I’ve had success with faxing the final paycheck stub of the year and my w2 to
916-843-6036 Fax number. When I called today after faxing that info they pushed it through. My employer is slow to update info with the employment development department (EDD) so if you’re trying this for the first time call (916) 845-3118 Push 2 and ask them to check over your return for any errors and if you don’t have luck with that call back and push 1. There are different departments. 1 will push you through if you don’t have issues 2 will verify you don’t have issues. -
@camomsd why in the world would it take 4 weeks to get you money. That really makes no sense. Did she say why it would take 4 weeks to get a direct deposit
-
filed 1/5, received 1/25. called the 916# this morning, spoke to a lovely lady that said everything looked great and pushed my refund through. She did say I should have it deposited within 4 weeks :S hopefully it is quicker than that. Previous years I already had state by now.
-
Issued 1/30 still no DD. I use Chime
-
I have a question.
Filed 1/24
accepted 1/24
processing since 1/31My question, since the form 3514 (CA CEITC) for 2019 is not available as of yet, can this be the hold up of the refunds? If so does anyone know when that form will be updated and or released?
-
I filed 1/25 through TT, accepted 1/27 approved for refund 1/30. Still no DD. Anyone who got their DD approved on 1/30 receive their deposit yet?
-
On the website it says that it could give me info with what i entered into the website but I just called and the agent said that it was being processed and it looks like I should be receiving a refund date real soon … he said that the website is under maintenance still.
-
So based off of how things have processed both this year and last I think I know the issue. Both last year and this year I filed before the IRS opened. I filed with H&R Block for federal and calfile for CA (because forms weren’t ready with H&R Block). Both this year and last year the processing times have been a lot longer than usual. My ca return was accepted 1/15. I called last week and was told it can take up to 30 days and to call back. On Friday my federal transcripts posted. Today I called FTB again and after looking at my account he was able to “push it through”. I think that it has something to do with the federal transcript. Once that’s avail they can process it. When we file early it sits and waits for the federal to process. Maybe even having to be processed by hand. Those who file after federal are processed quickly because the system sees it and does it automatically. I could be totally wrong but that seems to be the way it’s working for my personal situation both last year and this year.
Praying I see a dd date when I log on tomorrow. -
I filed and accepted 1/27
Not sure the date of processing, but I’m stuck there with the 1 month message.
Last 2 years when this happened I had to send in ssn, school records, birth certificates, and a bunch of things I can’t remember now. With 5 dependents it was too daunting, ..they’re the government, why can’t they access these things? I hope they don’t do it to me again, but with the 1 month message I’m counting on it.Anyways rant over, just a heads up to some stuck on processing for a while.
-
@caliquel I don’t get it either it BS! I file on the 7th still waiting says no problems with my return yet it’s still processing. I will hear something by the 11th cause they said that is 35 calendar days. It makes me upset to wait this long when I have such a simple return.
-
I don’t understand why they’re working the most recent returns before the older ones. It seems like they’re working backwards. I’ve seen hella people that filed end of January get theirs within a week (or at least approved/issued) and anyone that filed pre-irs opening date is stuck on the one month message. Literally no rhyme or reason to how they’re processing this year. And not to mention all of the strange time frames agents are giving people that call. How is it 2 weeks processing time and then 4-8 weeks and then 6 weeks???!!
-
I got accepted on 1/12/20 but still no money and on 2 bars ..it’s pass 2 weeks
-
Thanks, gives me hope that mine will update soon. I was a few days before you, so maybe they are just slow at getting to it.
-
1/23
-
Annie
When did you get accepted? -
I filed through CalFile and I have an issued date of 1/31.
-
Calfile vs other..anyone who used calfile gotten a deposit yet?
-
Also wondering if anyone who used CalFile has been issued yet?
-
I also used CalFile, processing sine Jan. 20th. Just got off the phone with FTB and was told 35 days, but they cannot tell me why and nobody sees anything wrong with it. I will never use CalFile again. I have a simple return, only getting back what I over paid.
-
Dayna
I filed on the 7th and it’s till processing. It can take up to 35 calendar days according to the FTB. Yea I did do Calfile and will not file this way again. -
Has anyone who filed with calfile gotten an issue date yet?
I was accepted the 21st and it’s still processing -
@Joe cool Thanks for that info. I will check again tomorrow. I never ever get deposit during the day with my credit union. I will check again tomorrow.
-
Just got off the phone with a nice lady at the FTB. She confirmed that my refund has been issued on the 29th. She also stated it can take up to 7 business days and that is should be in our accounts no lady then Friday the latest and should be deposited any day. She also confirmed my account info she’s definitely knew her shit so I’ll take her word.
-
Issued 1/29 still nothing has anyone got their refund that was issued on the 29th?? I’m have a fit here
-
Also if your still processing it can take 35 calendar days to finish processing even though the website says 4 weeks from the date you filed.
-
If you are still processing I suggest you check your account on FTB website to see if they are requesting any information. I had to do an Id check last year. I’ve been processing since the 7th.
-
@Joecool that’s crazy. I literally got mine deposited last nite at exactly 730. Issued 1/29. I’m sorry I hope it’s soon for you all.
-
Sometimes CA state can hit your bank after 8am if you have a larger bank like Chase, WF, BofA, etc. Federal comes in like a normal direct deposit after 11pm.
-
@Joe cool this is beyond bullshit! I am pissed. If the refund was issued 1/29 it would have been in my account by now. Direct deposit does not take long. My work when they send out direct deposit on Wednesday it is in my account by Friday. So what is the hold up here if the refunds are coming from the state? All lies by them. They are holding the funds. My bank is a credit union and would not put a hold on it.
-
Filed the 24th and still processing.
-
My refund was issued the 28 th and still nothing
-
@sandy for real this is some bullshit. Same boat issued on 1/29 and nothing meanwhile I know people who had it issued on 1/28 and got it by Friday morning!!!! WTF that’s literally a day and they get it and here we are 5 days later and nothing
-
Nothing at all and my refund was issued 1/29. This is some fucked up shit. That is my hard earned money and the state is holding on to it. They didn’t release shit. Doesn’t take that many days to direct deposit to my account. My direct deposits from work don’t take this long. Ridiculous lies! I have a credit union and should be there by now if they truly released my funds on 1/29!
-
Filed the 27 accepted the 29th issued the 31st I’m almost positive by Wednesday most of us will have our state dd in bank fingers crossed!
-
I filed theb17th and still only two checks. Called ftb Thursday they said everything is ok and give it two more days. Never taken this long before
-
Man California playing some fucking games. Issued 29th still don’t have shit
-
I’m frustrated, am I gonna be audited? I filed 1/28 before my family and got accepted within 5 mins but I’m still processing. They filed the day after and then got authorized for a refund.
-
@keeka
I have the same issue date but have BOFA maybe tomorrow for me I hope -
CA just deposited at 7:30pm. Bluebird account. Issued 1/29.
-
That’s exactly the same thing I was experiencing and then all of the sudden it updated and was processed in about 1 day. I’m guessing yours will be accepted/issued by next wednesday if everything is accurate. Did you file last year?
Honestly, I think that because of last years glitch (when their system issued a bunch of erroneous refunds), it’s just taking them a little longer to process and issue refunds this season. -
@Bekkah
When I check my Calfile it says submitted. When I look it up, it says processing. I filed on the 15th of January
-
When did you file? You should have received an email confirmation right after “signing” and submitting your return on the website… it doesnt always show up on your MyFTB account or “wheres my refund” right away (mine took way more than 48 to show up), BUT if you go back to CalFile now, it will tell you whether or not you already submitted it.
Hope that helps!

How can i check what day my return was accepted on CAl-file?
-
Filed: 1/27
Accepted: 1/28
Processed: 2/1 with 2 checks and 1 month processing -
Issued 1/29/2020 still nothing for my CA state tax return anyone else with the same issue date and no DD yet??

Filed: 1/30
Accepted: 1/30
Processed: 2/1I have 2 checks with the 1-month wait msg.
Last year I filed on 1/30 and got the money in the bank on 2/19 for state. Lets see what happens this year!!
-
@kortney This is from FTB website:
Scheduled Maintenance
From 8 p.m. Saturday, February 1, 2020 to 6 a.m. Sunday, February 2, 2020, registration and access for MyFTB and CalFile will be unavailable due to maintenance.We apologize for any inconvenience.
-they probably just started working on it a little early. If you check back tomorrow afternoon, it should be up and running
-
Mine was accepted on january 31st. But now it says we are unable to provide information to you with what u entered. Does anyone else have this or know why mine says that.
-
I have a bluebird card and have received my state deposit on a Saturday and Sunday. I’m on the last step I hope. Tried to log into ftb website and says no record of my return. Had 2 checks before with allow 30 days message. Accepted 1/30 filed through Turbo Tax
-
I e-filed on 01.13.2020 using Freetaxusa and the first confirmation that FTB received my 2019 return was an email from Freetaxusa with an acceptance letter, on 01.28.2020 around 6:01pm. The FTB website, actually still said “no record of return…” until 01.31.2020, when I finally then got the message stating they had received my return and “to allow 1 month tor processing”. BUT, when I checked it again this morning (02.01.2020), it now says my refund was approved and issued 01.31.2020. Since I did not received my DD today, I know the state hasn’t actually released the funds yet (and they won’t be released over the weekend). I know this because I am having my refunds deposited into my Chime checking account… and for those of you who don’t know about Chime, they have literally no processing time whatsoever, so it’ll basically be an immediate fund’s transfer into my account as soon as The State of California releases it (which is most likely set to happen either Monday morning, or overnight Monday/Tuesday).
Also, the FTB will generally issue refunds in “batches” on certain days of the week (Wednesday and Friday), so anyone who was approved or issued theirs from 01.28.2020-01.31.2020 will likely be together in the same “batch” and will also have their refunds released by the state sometime on monday; any additional time it takes after that is your bank holding it.
The person who says she received her deposit today must have been approved and issued hers on or before 01.27.2020 (which is super lucky, because I was told that this tax year CA didn’t even start accepting returns until 01.28.2020). -
No money as of today. I have a credit union so I thought maybe just maybe today but nope.
“We authorized your refund on Wednesday, January 29, 2020.
Please allow:
10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or 25 business days to receive your refund by check. “
-
I’m seeing people post a DD date but when I check mine only says issued on the 29th I’m confused
-
@probably Same here! Hoping the system is just down.
-
@probably
Same here. I believe once it’s back up tomorrow/Monday we’ll have DDD
-
Yesterday I had two checks with the wait 30 days for processing message. Today when I checked it had this message:
We are unable to provide your refund status online using the information you provided.
Has anyone else had this happen? Should be worried?
-
My CA refund was issued on 1/28 and still nothing. Is it normal for the TurboTax card to take this long? I see people that have later dates then I get their deposits.
-
I’ve been on processing since Monday. Today I tried to check and it’s says they don’t have my info 😓. In the past this has meant they are updating. Did anyone get the same error before receiving DDD?
-
Finally updated to issued on 1/31.
-
@TONY I have two checks and it says processing with the 1 month message
-
Lame sauce haha hopefully Monday we get some good news keep me posted
-
@deeva
Nothing for me and I have the same issued date of 1/29 guess BOFA just lags on deposits -
I have same dates as @Deeva but bank with Wells Fargo. No dd as if this morning 2/1

you have 2 checks what does yours say? processing or also 1 month message?

Filed my return with H&RB on the 15th. I’ve already received my federal, but I don’t think my tax lady turned in my state right away so it showed up as not received on FTP till Thursday 1/30. All of a sudden 1/30 I had all 3 checks but still haven’t received anything. I’m hoping for a Saturday deposit because it looks like people are generally getting their returns 2 days after it’s issued. Has anyone else other than @Deeva gotten a Saturday return deposit??

FTB showing two blue checks 1/31
No DDD as of yet.It’s the weekend so I guess I’ll stop obsessing until Monday.
-
Something I noticed about Check My Refund:
I would check, said “no record of your return”. Checked again a few hours later, it showed Received. Checked next day, got the “no record” message. Checked hours later, and it showed the next box checked, and so on.
I think when it goes backwards, it means it’s updating and moving forward. Just a guess, but that’s what it did with me.
AND, it’s doing the same thing as Federal.
-
Do they process returns on the weekend?
-
FINALLY! I just checked and I have 2 blue checks! I was getting worried with the “No record of a return” message but thank goodness it shows it’s being processed! WHEW

I called to confirm mine was issued and they said it was issued on the 29th and that it can take 4 weeks to get? I’m confused I have direct deposit. The lady rushed me off the phone so shit does this mean they sent a check ?
-
Filed 1/20 accepted 1/27 wait one month message on 1/28
-
@Marcy I spoke to a guy today. He says that my return looks good and that it’s just waiting to be processed. I know I owe on Kate fees to the library which could be why it’s taking longer. Cali still owes me money though which he said the would DD after taking what I owe. He said wait 2 weeks. Could happen today though and FTB Where’s my refund is real time so just keep checking I guess.
-
I filed Calfile had issue last year too . They flagged my return last year for identity and I had to send in my w2 and id. I will not use Calfile again. Sitting here since Jan 7. If your waiting you can login to your ftb account and see if there is anything you need to send. I check daily cause I don’t want to wait for them to send it to me.
-
Lets see here..please day who you filed with and if you received Deposit. Want to see if its a calfile issue.
-
@hulagirl why would it take that long? What is the reason they give you?
-
Still sitting with 1 month message. Here’s a number to call that answers right away no 2 hour hold
(916) 845-7088
The last 2 years I had incorrect withholding amount reported and when I called they pushed it through. This year they are telling me it can take 2 months to process and another month to get refunds. I’m going to try to call again.
-
Jmart I totally agree with you. I will not use calfile next year. Maybe since calfile is free they make you wait which sucks. It does seem that those who used calfile are waiting longer.
-
I also just got off the phone with the FTB, I filed through CalFile, accepted on the 17th, processing since the 20th, still not issued. Called and was told wait 35 days to call again if you haven’t heard anything. It seems the people still waiting are those that used CalFile.
-
I talked to the FTB just now. I’ve been waiting since the 7th. They told me if it is taking longer to process you will have to wait 35 calendar to either get a refund or get a letter from them. So if you have been waiting longer than normal you’ll likely hear something within 35 calendar days from the day you filed.
-
Filed 1/16/2020 possessing 1/26/2020 issues 1/28/2020. Still nothing in bank. Think they are going to nake me waiting till monday 2/3/2020. But that’s what I get for trying the Turbo tax prepaid card.
-
@stef it mean California Earned Income Tax Credit
-
filed on 1/27 with hr and block and finally today 1/31 i got the accepted email. nothing shows up on wmr though.
-
@caliquel I was told the same info. I don’t get it. I filed the 7th and I was told 4 weeks and then 4-8 weeks. I also filed with cal file and will not file with them next year cause it seems when I do I have issues.
-
What is CAEITC
-
Kicking myself in the a** for re filing through calfile. TT return was rejected and calfile was accepted 1/21- been stuck on received and processing ever since. Talked to 2 reps yesterday. 1 said processing time is 2 weeks. The other one said it’s 4-8 weeks yet many people are getting them within 3 days? Seems to be the trend for us early filers. Congrats to those who have gotten theirs but now I’m getting a little frustrated!
FYI- I have no CA EITC. Not sure if that even makes a difference for state return. Just a simple refund, 1 w-2 and 1 dependent. Just getting back what I overpaid.
-
Do you think they will issue refund on the weekend? Mine was accepted yesterday…today it’s processing
-
HR Block Online
01/27 – Filed
01/27 – 01/31 – no record on file FTB(Fed accepted 01/28)
last 3 years my returns fed and state have always been accepted within the hour but I usually filed in February previous years. This year I actually needed my refund asap soooo yeah a little impatient…. I will share any info I come across
-
@Mama27k I believe it is I filed on the 18th and stuck with the 1 month message
-
Anyone authorized on 1/29 receive theirs yet? (10 day business message for dd)
Filed 1/24, accepted 1/27, issued 1/29 but no DD as of 1/31
-
Update*****
Filed 1/21
Accepted 1/23
Processed and issued 1/28
Hit my bank 1/30 @ 8:30pm That was fast!!!! -
So I filed with turbo on 1/27 accepted 1/28 and today it Says “issued” . And says I will have it with in 10 days. How long does it typically take to hit ?
-
Finally got “ISSUED “ status today 01/30 that was fast. Filed 1/27 and now to wait to hit my bank account 😬
-
Is the 1 month message an indication something is wrong? Incant remember if it was last year or not.
1/27 -Filed hr block in office, held the refund for ages it felt like.
1/28- ftb said there is no record
1/29-ftb still said no record
1/30- Got 2 checks saying it was received 1/27, processing and the 1 month message
-
@Jackie I doubt the reps really know what they are talking about, especially since others who were accepted 1:27 are getting ddd in two days. I just feel like early filers are getting pushed back. Turbo tax finally went to accepted for me on 1/27 but since I refiled it came back rejected. I knew I should of waited but I was inpatient so here I am. Just hoping it doesn’t take too long. I know better now for next year to just wait.
-
are there holds for people with CalEITC?
-
I got recieved by FTB on 1/27
I had all 3 check marks on 1/28
It was also issued by on 1/28
But haven’t hit my Wells Fargo Acount yet. Hoping by Friday or Monday -
No CalEitc for me
-
Just curious for the people that haven’t been approved yet are you claiming CalEitc? I think that may be the hold up.
-
Anyone file with CalFile and get issued yet? I have been “processing” since 01/20
-
@ Kim
I’m still waiting and I re-filed. I spoke to John with the FTB and he said he doesn’t show TurboTax ever sent my original return to be rejected. They just have the one I filed directly with them. However he told me it’ll be 4 weeks before I see any approval, which I find BS. Seeing as people are getting approved and receiving their money already. Makes no sense to me and I’m annoyed!
-
Did anyone who initially filed with turbo tax but then re-filed with FTB receive a refund approval? I’m kicking myself for not being patient…
-
***update***
Refund just hit my netspend!Recap:
1/18 -filed with TT
1/27-Accepted by FTB
1/28-Authorized
1/30- refund received -
I filed Monday 27 and accepted the 28 and today it Says issued today.yay!
-
I filed the 21st, accepted 23rd and still says processing 1 month…called ftb, said 2 weeks from when you filed. Another lady I spoke to said they dont process until the 15th of feb. So I dunno, I’m hoping it processes soon
-
Traci I filed 1/7 and still says processing we re in the same boat
-
I filed on 1-27 accepted 1-28 and the webpage says issued 1-29 hopeful I’ll get it Friday
-
@ Amber
We are talking about Ca returns, not FEDERAL… but thanks?
-
My state was filed and accepted on 1/8 it’s been sitting at processing since that day with the 1 month message. My 30 days is up soon, so hopefully I’ll get it soon!
-
I see a lot of people with comments about filing early etc. You can file early and it will be accepted which means it was received, but they did not start processing until the 27th. Which is why it seemed like it took so long. (It’s printed on the IRS website FYI – so maybe check next year so you don’t keep checking for status updates before they even start processing) We are only 3 days in since they have started processing returns and those that filed early are the first ones processed. Once it is issued, it can take 1-5 business days to reflect in the bank account, typically though its more like 3-5 business days for Direct Deposit. The season just started, I mean if you want your money instantly opt for the refund advance that a lot of tax places provide, you will pay a percentage of it to them for the service of getting it early but better than stressing out for no reason.
-
Yes I was accepted on 1/23 and still processing with one month message.
-
Anyone still have the 1 month message? Or had the one month message and got refund approved? Accepted 1/27 says processing allow 1 month, when I called she said process time is 12 WEEKS….
-
I filed with freetaxusa on 01/19/2020. CA return was accepted around 6pm pacific on 01/28/2020. All day today my information was not being recognized on the FTB refund page. I checked moments ago and I have all 3 checks and the message that my refund was authorized on 01/29/2020.
I used freetaxusa also. My refund was accepted on the 28th too, and I checked this morning and it said there was no record of my return being filed. I got a little bummed until I saw your message!
I remember last year when people got the “no record of your return” it was usually a sign it was updating and that was the case for me. The next morning after that message I had all 3 checks and a DD date. So fingers crossed! -
So after almost two weeks of bullshit I’m finally accepted, approves and refund should be issued in 10 days. Hallelujah! Filed 1/17 rejected 1/27 for some crazy reason, accepted 1/28. Keep seeing CA Wmr with no information and nothing ever filed or received. Made two phone calls to FTB and was told it was accepted but not showing on Wmr. All in all I’m finally done. CA was a headache this year. Best of luck to all!
-
I just talked to a guy at franchise board and he said hes not sure why anyone has deposits cause they are not even processing returns yet??
-
Has any one got state yet or federal?
-
I filed with freetaxusa on 01/19/2020. CA return was accepted around 6pm pacific on 01/28/2020. All day today my information was not being recognized on the FTB refund page. I checked moments ago and I have all 3 checks and the message that my refund was authorized on 01/29/2020.
-
Filed 1/25, Received 1/25, checked again said they didn’t have any information, checked again 1/29, it said Received, Processing, wait 1 month, checked again got no information notice again, then just now (11:23pm 1/29) it’s showing Issued 1/29, will ARRIVE (DD) in 10 days, but I looked at my bank account and see a Pending ACH for the refund! Not a lot of money at all, but desperately needed so they’re moving faster than they say (probably to keep people from calling or being blamed if it’s late).
I noticed last year that different bank get/process refunds differently. I’m with a credit union and the post almost immediately, while when I was with a regular bank, they took that 3-5 days to post thing as gospel.
Hang in there, if it’s showing issued, it’s coming. And all the back and forth messages when checking, I think it’s because they’re “doing something”, like issuing the refund so they can’t have any info showing if they’re changing it to a new status.
-
P.S. I filed through IRS Free File
-
So i have a question. Has anyone filed with HR Block in office and had their state be accepted yet?Filed 1-27, they STILL havent sent it to the FTB!
Hr blocks main office said it shows accepted by state
My tax preparer says it shows processing and on hold at their main office with all of the other state returns and how none of her clients have been sent to state yet, nor can they even print out the few that need to be mailed to mail them because of a watermark across the pages since its not ready.
Ftb said there is zero record of our returns being sent and its not with them.
Hr block keeps trying to tell me that it takes a few days to show up at ftb (again, lies because ftb says it takes minutes!) and that i just need to keep giving it a few more days. This is insane!
My tax preparer seems to think their software wasnt approved by the state yet so they are sitting in holding until it is … gah!
-
I had the the message where it said that nothing was found earlier today.
But just checked again and I am on the 2nd check mark and have this message.
We received your 2019 California Income Tax return on: Monday, January 27, 2020.
We are processing your return at this time. Please allow 1 month from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
-
Filed the 27 accepted the 28th and checked today and it Says processing.
-
Does anyone know if there’s a delay because of the amount we are getting back? I’m wondering if the people getting approved are getting back small amounts and the ones waiting are getting larger amounts? Just a random thought and question…
-
Tried calling today & hold times were quoted as up to 3 hours. Mine shows as accepted 1/14 & looks stuck in process. I also have the 1 month message.
After doing some digging, I found another phone number that picked up right away. They basically told me that it could take 4 weeks to complete process & hold tight. sucks.
here’s the number. i talked w Dan. (916) 845-7088
-
I am upset. I moved so I added my new address on my tax return. I put in for a check to be mailed to me. And at the end of filing my taxes, they confirmed my new address so that they will be mailing my check to. Now when I check the status of my ca return status it only recognizes my old address and not my new address. Is it suppose to be like that?
-
My personal timeline:
Filed with CalFile 1/19 (sunday)
Reported as processing on 1/23
Has been stuck on processing with 1 month statement ever since 1/23
-
Filed 1/28 via CalFile
No record found as of today on website.
How long does it take to show accepted? -
Thanks Sandy for the details. Hope we get some news of DD confirmation from someone.
-
@VG – Issued on 1/24 and still no DD??
Wtf?? -
Okay i just got off with a live agent. My CA return was rejected 1/27 and accepted 1/28 and is processing and will take up to 2 weeks to get a refund. No mention of 30 days and she said some are being told that but is a generic message they must say. She told me 2 weeks. Also i told her FTB Wmr is showing nothing has been filed or received and told me to disregard Wmr because i am talking to a live agent and she is telling me im accepted. She also gave me a number to check CA state (800) 338-0505
-
@HulaGirl no husband just me. This is crazy. I have been filing for 18 years and once i file within the week i get my CA refund. WTF is going on?
-
The following message shows up:
CA issued on 1/24 :
Please allow:
10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or 25 business days to receive your refund by check.
If we made any adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
I will keep you guys posted if I receive DD.
-
I am regretting re-filing with the state. I should have just been patient! I re-filed on the 23rd and still in processing status with one month message.
-
I assumed no one has received CA tax yet in their account even though it was issued on 1/24 or prior.
-
I called today about the wait 30 day message and was told normal processing time for California returns is 12 WEEKS UGH
Sandy if you files a joint return try the other SS #.
When I looked up my husband’s (primary filer) I got the same message but when I looked up mine I got the processing wait 30 day message. Just a thought. -
Here is my timeline :
Filed on 1/23.
Method : DD
CA accept and issued on 1/24.
Fed accepted on 01/24.
As of now CA tax refund has not shown on my account.
-
I filed 1/17 with TT and i keep getting this message every time i check and i check a lot through the day. So i decided to call the number below yesterday and the person who answered said my State return was rejected due to the TT version of software being used is outdated. WTF! I almost fell over and died. I called my tax preparer and she swears its accepted on her end and she will send my my copies of my return. I checked today and same message below. I am livid! Either my tax preparer is lying to me or something isn’t right. I am on the phone holding to speak with a live agent again. Will update when i get through.

Anyone got a secret phone number to share for a live person for FTB?
-
Thank you Victoria. I am now hanging up the phone lol. I know I owe for library books but they said they’d just deposit the remainder. Thanks to all the other posts I should have read before posting my previous question about the 30 day message. Lol BUT… one more question:
Anyone have an offset that still got a DD and not a check in the mail? -
As of this morning, mine says issued on 1/28.
Timeline
Filed 1/18 with TurboTax
Fed accepted 1/22
CA accepted 1/27 – note* it didn’t show on FTB until yesterday around 3pm. Showed 1 month processing etc.

@Marcy same here. Except I had a secret phone number to call last year and got it resolved right away. The number doesn’t work this year. If I find a new one I’ll post it. I’m currently on the usual call line on a 40 minute hold. I’m gonna get some answers lol. She told me yesterday it would be 2 weeks, now it’s 30 days. Ugh.
-
Filed on the 22 still on the second bar processing last year it took less then a week to get. I wonder why it’s taking longer this year
-
Hula girl I am and I filed on the 7th ugh. I called and they told me it’s still processing call back in 2 weeks this sucks I had this happen last year and I was flagged and had to verify my identity now this year I’m still waiting this sucks

No update for me either. Hopefully re-filing with the state didn’t cause any issues…smh
-
Filed 1/21
Approved 1/23

-
Still waiting. Processing since January 20th..
-
No update for me either.
-
I’m still waiting… no update for me
Filed 1/16
Fed was accepted 1/21
Filed directly with Ftb 1/23 and approved/processing same day…I have the 1 month message and no updates info. Thought I’d be issued by now, but nope. :/
-
Just checked mine the got it on the 22nd and it’s still processing. Anyone else still waiting? This is ridiculous should be finished by now
-
Woke up and went straight to check my status! Says I’m approved as of today with Issued checked. Says wait 10 bus days but I’m hoping for sooner
Filed 1/24
Accepted 1/27
Approved/Issued 1/28 -
@Susan R thank you for the help. I decided to check one more time and refund is approved.
Submitted 1/16/2020. Approved 1/27/2020. Refund date 1/28/2020. -
@Sarah it usually doesn’t take 30 days unless there are special circumstances with your tax return.
TT user
Submitted 01-21-2020
Accepted 01-27-2020
Authorized 01-28-2020
Now we wait…last year had same sequence of days and got my DD the following Monday. -
I filed through TT on 16th and said my state was acepted. But FTB says they just recived it on the 27th and it’s now prossessing. A whole week and they finally get it now and to top it off the FTB says it’s going to be 30days till acepted. Will it really take 30days?
-
FILED with freetaxusa 1/5. Federal came back accepted 1/21. State said no record. Contact freetaxusa representative said they didn’t accept returns from them until 1/27. Checked today and said return accepted but looked at state refund check and still same message.
-
Mine says 1 month also. In the past, the one month message indicated there was an issue. Seems like it’s now standard with whatever change the state made this year.
-
File 1/16, Got accepted 1/27 and Checked my status again for CA,today got the generic message it can take up to a month to process. I sure hope it don’t take that long :( CA is taking their sweet time this year .
-
@sandy
Is it 2 weeks from when you filed? -
@CAquel
What does your message say?
-
Well I guess it’s good to know that they won’t issue for 2 weeks. Now I can stop checking the website 3 times a day hoping for a change.
-
I also called FTB and the lady i spoke with asked me when i filed and with who and i said 1/17 with TT. She can see on her end that my return was rejected due to the version of the software not being updated. OMG i almost fell over and died. How the hell do the tax professionals not catch this error prior to accepting returns. I called my tax person and she said she can see that my CA taxes were accepted. I’m not sure what to do now. I checked Wmr and same lame message of not having my return filed. Ughhhh. Also FTB lady said things are different this year and refund wont be issued for 2 weeks.
-
@CAquel
1month
-
@victoria
Does yours have the 1 month message at the bottom or 2 weeks message? -
So I just got the message from turbo tax that my ca was rejected which is what I expected since I re filed directly through the state. Anyways, chatted with ftb and asked if their wmr updates throughout the day or if it’s just once like the federal wmr tool. They said they update all day so I guess I will be checking every hour on the hour like some kinda crazy person…smh
-
Status now says processing.
-
@Mar808 When did you file and when was it finally accepted? I filed early 1/17 with TT and I checked and it’s still the same message of never receiving my return.
-
@sand03 yes I filed directly through CalFile. I never use tax software to do it. But this year even when filing directly with them it took 2 days before it even showed as recieved and processed.
-
@Mari808 I hope so. Makes me think it isn’t filed. Others have refiled with Calfire and show processing in 2 days. I don’t want to refile. What a mess!
-
Same thing happened last year. CA was taking their sweet a$$ time. When I initially filed it took a couple days for it to show up too. I suspect we will all see ‘issued’ this week.
-
Hello everyone – getting the same message… no record blah blah…
Don’t know what’s going on this year.ugh
-
@Sandy03 – I’m in the same boat! I really hope that we get lucky and have a surprise deposit this Friday lol but, I’m kind of just holding out hope for at least next week! Idk what’s going on this year with CA
-
@Deeva Yes! My CA state refund is the one refund i do expect early within days or the week. I am on PATH for Federal so that is another waiting game. I just don’t understand the IRS or State this year or maybe it is TT not sure.
-
@sandy03 – I was just reading your comments as well. Hopefully we are in the same boat and they just have not updated it quite yet. I am hoping to get mine by next week! Fingers crossed
-
@Deeva Okay so maybe i am thinking now that my return was submitted and accepted and am just getting the same message as i am.
We do not have a record of your 2019 California Income Tax return in our files.
Contact us if it has been more than:
2 weeks since you e-filed your return.
8 weeks since you mailed your return. -
My CA return was accepted as of yesterday but when I check the site this morning it is telling me that they have no record of my return. what the Fawk!!!
-
@Kathy so it’s not just me getting that message on CA Wmr? So maybe just maybe i am accepted? I need to call the number and see what is going on.
-
Filed with TT 1/16, finally got accepted yesterday and when I went to FTB site, it says they didn’t receive my return yet.. What’s going on with CA ?? Theyre moving super slow this year :(
-
I filed 1/17 with TT and nothing. I usually get my refund within the week or sooner. This is insane.
-
This is the message i am getting. I am so pissed!
We do not have a record of your 2019 California Income Tax return in our files.
Contact us if it has been more than:
2 weeks since you e-filed your return.
8 weeks since you mailed your return. -
My return is still processing and I have the following message:
“We received your 2019 California Income Tax return on: Saturday, January 11, 2020.
We are processing your return at this time. Please allow 1 month from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.”
Last year was the first time I ever had to verify my identity (I’ve only lived in CA and have worked for more than 27 years and same address for longer than that). Hopefully that isn’t the case this year but I plan on calling them on 2/7/20 if there isn’t any movement by then since I know the state should’ve received my W2 from my employer.
-
Wtf is up with California moving so slow this year?! Been on processing for over a week. In the past its never taken more than 3 days to go from processing to issued. Matter of fact, I’ve always gotten CA Refund in my account within a week of filing.
Does anyone know if they issue all day?
-
Filed on January 20.. still waiting to be issued. Does anyone know if it updates daily?
-
I refiled directly with the FTB on 1/23. The refund still hasn’t been issued. I thought I would get an update overnight. Bummer
-
Anyone get there money yet
-
@Victoria thanks for you help. I guess another day of waiting.
-
@Sandy – I can say that it normally doesn’t reflect until the following day .
-
@ Victoria i just checked Wmr and not refund filed supposedly. Ughhh i hate TT right now. I expect my state return asap as i always get it within the week. So mad at my tax person right now. I really was relying on my CA refund this week.
-
@Sandy – I have no clue but I might not use them again next year… usually I would have received my CA refund by now…
-
@Victoria Was TT not taking returns or what was the deal for the delay?
-
SO, TT just updated to accepted for CA refund…
-
I file CA with TurboTax on 1/15 and my California State return is still showing as pending. When I look at the efile data, it says it “Unknown” for date received by California. TT said this was normal because they can’t send State return without an accepted Federal return. My federal was accepted on 1/15.
Today I decided to file my state directly with CalFile because TurboTax is dragging their feet.
-
@Victoria that for the information. This site is super slow and really needed feedback on my CA state return. I filed 1/17 and nothing yet.
-
Just checked TT and now state says received by CA 1/27. I filed on 1/18. Fed accepted 1/22. So some movement…
-
I filed with turbo tax 1/17 and when I check Wmr it says they haven’t received my return. This is so frustrating.
-
i did refile our direct and it is processing, waiting for it to be issued. any one get a issue notice today?
-
@kim
The lady I spoke to said 2 weeks is standard. So not sure why ours says 1 month. -
@kathy it won’t be any issues which ever one is accepted first the other one will get rejected
-
@ Kathy
I filed on 1/16 as well through TurboTax and my Ca return is still pending. My federal was accepted 1/21 no issues. I re-filed with cal file 1/23 and it was accepted same day. I am now processing and I have the generic allow 1 month of processing blah blah if we need to change anything we will mail something to you message.
-
Filed through TT on 1/16 state still pending . I’m tempted to file with calfile . Anyone else filed to both TT and calfile. Would there be issues if they see I filed twice Or when TT finally sends the file.
-
Files thru TT on 1/16 and state still pending . I’m tempted to file thru calfile. Did anyone else file thru calfile and turbo tax as well? I’m afraid there would be an issue filing twice once TT sends the first file. Anyone else filed with both TT and calfile ?
-
Just curious to others who are in the processing status, what does your message say?
-
@Dayna I hope there aren’t issues! What is the standard processing message?
-
@kim mine says the same thing. I called ftb today and she said that it could be because we filed so early or there could be issues with processing and to call back in a week
-
@kim
-
People were getting that message last year and some were fine and processed in shorter time and others had to call. I’d call to be on the safe side.
-
This is the message I get under processing in FTB. Do yours say it will take 1 month to process or is it just me?
We received your 2019 California Income Tax return on: Thursday, January 23, 2020.
We are processing your return at this time. Please allow 1 month from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
-
I filed through TurboTax 1/16 and stayed pending until 1/21. My federal was accepted but nothing changed for my state. I filed through cal file 1/23 and they already received it and are processing. Not sure what’s up with TurboTax this year.. I don’t think they ever sent it in the first place.
-
@ Mike805 I mean cal file
-
@ Mike805 You should file threw calfie see if they receive it quicker turbo tax is definitely having issues this year
-
@ Mike805 no it took a while for it to show up I think the system is behind because when I check on the status it’s says they received my return on the 18th but nothing was showing until Monday
-
Sorry I meant issued refunds.
-
I re-filed on Calfile this morning and FTB now showing received and processing. Nothing from Turbo Tax so I believe they definitely have an issue this year. Everyone who re-filed, lets keep each other updated on issues refunds!
-
Turbo tax still nothing filed the 16th. Filed with ftb yesterday and now in processing
-
I filed with TurboTax on 1/18. Federal was accepted on 1/21, state still pending….. normally both are accepted at the sameness time and I usually get my state first… this year is weird….
-
Anyone get accepted who filed with TT
-
Nothing yet for me at all. Just checked Wmr and nothing in their records and i filed 1/17 WTF!
-
CA REFUND took 5 business day to DD to my bank after it stated issued.
-
I also filed through CalFile since freetaxusa didn’t send the state return.
-
Has anyone filed through freetaxusa and get accepted for CA? My federal was accepted on 1/21 but nothing for state yet.
-
After filing again through cal file, My state is now showing received. Tt still shows pending. Something definitely was funky with tt state software.
-
Just checked mine are showing processing now. So that’s a good sign I re filed yesterday
-
Nice Jenn. Hope the rest of us have good news soon. Did you have the child tax credit or Eic? Wondering if that’s what’s holding up things maybe. I have seen no movement yet
-
Filed on 1/14, issued on 1/16, woke up at 2am on 1/23 and state fund is in my bank account!!
-
What happens when you submit twice? Mine still has not been accepted which is weird. Not sure if I should wait it out or file directly….
-
I resubmitted through cal file as well last night. Hopefully it’ll just get rejected by turbo tax once ca receives.
-
I could not get anyone on the phone from tt. I’m going to file through cal file like I did last year and see what happens. Kathy I’ll let you know. Dajanet did it show up right after you filed again how did you check
-
I filed on the 18th it was saying return not received until tonight I filed directly threw FTB
-
Filed for CA I’m 1/14. Was issued in 1/16. Says 10 business days to receive in my account!
-
Same here filed 1/16 and nothing yet .. Filed federal 1/15 and nothing yet.. I think Turbo Tax isnt doing there job well this year :( Should we call TT and follow up ? Im getting worried .
-
i called state and they have no record of my return turbo tax wants me to pay to talk to someone, i might just with with cal file to make sure they get it.
-
Same here, filed on 1/17 with turbo tax and am usually accepted right away. I am still showing pending status. Federal was just accepted an hour ago. Am worried because i was getting a message that some forms weren’t ready so I figured it would file my federal only and would email me regarding ca when it was ready. But when I filed it sent both federal and state. I’m hoping there isn’t a problem since it looked like the return was correct. Am really hoping to get accepted and approved by the end of the month!
-
last year i filed again direct with FTB and they got it right away then three days later i got a email from the H and R Block that my state was rejected. even though they said they sent it.
not sure if we just wait it out or jump the gun and file again -
Same here. Filed turbo tax on the 16th and ca FTb still says they haven’t received it? Usually CA receives within 1 day and then approves within 3 days. Oddly slow this year or maybe it’s a turbo tax issue.
-
I filed with TurboTax 1/16 and call said they still have not seen my return. Any advice?
-
Hi everyone! I filed 1/15 and checked CA STATUS and it says my refund has already been approved! Within 10 days we should have our CA REFUND. Filed with taxact. Anyone else!?
-
Good morning all. My W2 posted to my ADP account so I filed today asap. Let the California waiting games begin :). Good luck everyone and happy 2020 tax season!!
-
I received my federal return DD no problem as for my state. FTB said it was issued on Feb 25 DD. I never received anything. I got a hold of someone from the 180085208711 number finally and they gave me their station number and name and a fax number. They told me to call my bank get statements from March and Feb and have them faxed over to him which was on July 1. I haven’t heard anything or gotten any money. It is such a struggle trying to call that number and to talk to someone. This is so frustrating. Every time I have to call and explain the same thing over again. I just want to get the money i worked for. I was curious if this has happened to anyone else…
-
Mailed in 04/15 [ I know last minute lol]
Authorized & Issued 05/13th
Still waiting for DD in my HSBC bank. [Hopefully soon! ] -
Still waiting for my state refund in my mailbox?
-
@WZ I’m in the same boat. My fed was processed and dd back in Feb but am still waiting on my state. the state has requested additional information and I have submitted my docs and after chatting and calling them, was told that they have just requested employment verification from my employer (a month ago). The company I work for is relatively small and the request was processed and returned weeks ago.
I understand that the state has a lot going on but at the same time, I’ve been with the same employer (W2) for more than a decade and never had an issue with my refund until this tax season? Doesn’t the state have access to their own system where they can see that my ID, Driver’s license, car registrations, etc is linked to my name and address for more than 20 years and that state taxes have been taken out of my checks for almost as long?
I’m just venting but it is truly amazing that the state can’t get their act together with the technology that is available to them. I’m only getting back a few hundred and they act like my refund is in the thousands, haha. I feel that if they have questions about my identify/employment, etc., it would be GREAT if they stopped taking taxes out of my checks during this time period while they verified my employment but I know that if that was the case, my information would be verified the same day :) .
I’m done ranting.
-
Has anyone gotten their check for the state refund I received my fed on April 1st and my ca one says issued March 25th I was wondering if it really takes 25 days from the issue dated to receive a paper check
-
Issued on 3/26
DD on 4/2
A little late but I’m happy. -
Final update from March 7th.
Today 3/20, I checked my refund status, it is showing “Issued” and it will take additional 10 days for the DD. It took exactly 30 days from the date I E-filed on 2/20 and apparently they didn’t requested any additional documents from me..
-
Hey guys,anyone that hasnt gotten a California refund yet due to a letter requesting paperwork like w2s pay stubs and things like that. If you have sent in or faxed paperwork in awhile ago and nothing still. Do what another poster had posted, call 916-845-7088 choose 2. They will process you right then and you will be good to go. My girlfriend and another buddy of mine did this, took 5 minutes. Not a fix all and may differ from each person. But a good shot. The person that talked to my girlfriend was very nice and it wasnt anything crazy. Just a ID verify thing.
-
Update – got state refund dd into my account last Friday – so 9 days total. Fed says refund approved and will be sent tomorrow (3/21) so 2 weeks total.
-
Just curious if anyone else had this issue. Someone claimed my dependent so I had to mail my returns in. I mailed them with all verification showing they lived with me. Federal was approved and refund will be sent on the 20th by the state says that it’s taking longer than usual to process…. is anyone else having this problem?
-
Update on my Feb 28th post, so I check my status on WMR…changed to 1 month to 3 months, checked mail and there was a letter from FTB..my return has been pulled for security reasons, identity theft, please submit documents ie pay stubs, employer etc faxed documents, called them to make sure they got them, gentlemen on the phone issued and processed my return and now waiting for direct deposit. So going on 7 weeks for my refund.
Took them 35 days to tell me it was for a security issue. -
Update from my March 7th comment:
I called again today, this time they changed the whole story on my status. This new representative told me my E-file is still being processed and the process time could last another 2 months (total of 3 months). I also asked if there are any documents being requested from me, the rep said no. All I can say is that this whole CA tax refund situation is a mess!
-
@meya mine took 4 business days
-
Accepted 1/29
need to send documents
Sent docs 2/26Called last week they said to call back that it still wasn’t in the system.
Called back today 3/15
And she said she’s processing it today. How long did others in my situation receive dd??
-
Filed 2/21 accepted that day
Approved 3/11
DDD 3/15They adjusted my return
-
Update, I checked myftb today and it says issued, so hopefully a deposit in a few days.
-
Filed 2/25 both fed and state accepted on same day received federal 3/6 but nothing from state just still processing it was kinda odd I got fed before wondering should I call since it’s been 2weeks or just wait it out
-
Yea! I just got my DD. My refund was authorized on the 8th. I checked it this morning and it had come in overnight on the 14th. Hope everyone who’s still waiting gets theirs soon.
-
Filed 1/28/19
accepted 1/29/19
Send in verification on 2/28
Spoke with myftb and they said it is processed and to give it 4 weeks for dd. Now the site says
“We are taking longer than expected to process your return”.Before I called today it said 3 months, so that’s progress.
-
Update: Status of fed: Return Received. California status: Refund Approved. The myFTB says they adjusted the amount of my refund to pay some parking tickets. I’m not sure if that means that they will still send me direct deposit, or since the amount of my refund has changed, or whether they will issue me a paper check.
-
Update: This morning federal status still: Return Received.
California now says they are unable to provide status online and site suggests I wait 24 hours and retry or call for info. I have a myFTB account and that site posted a copy of my return available and a status of “Processed”I will check the state site again tomorrow and maybe it will be updated.
-
EFILED 2/20. Still says processing and to allow one month. No DDD and no DD in my account. Usually only takes 2 weeks. Gonna try calling today.
-
So both State and Federal accepted 1/28. Federal came in a few weeks ago. CA however wanted a bunch of verification info for myself, husband and children. Faxed all info the same day I got the letter. Feb/27. Website still shows same status and to give them Three months from the date I filled?!!! THIS IS CRAZY!! I can’t get a single person on the phone…Iv got nothing els in the mail, I can’t even check if they received the paperwork and or if anything els is missing…worst system i have ever seen. What do I do?
Chevy
-
@christie
Awesome! Thanks for info. Hopefully my dd will come in early this week. -
Update:
Filed 2/14
Authorized around 2/26
Received check this weekend
Thank God… my check finally arrived. It took approximately 11 days from my authorization date. Just something to be mindful of if you opt for a check. Some people have gotten them in 8 days, some 15, and some 20.. most somewhere between 8-16 days though. -
@ Shel
Mine said issued on the 6th received it dd today the 9th. -
I filed on 2/24. The site said processing on 2/25 with the standard allow one month message. It stayed that way until today Mar 9th. I just woke up and checked it and it says issued. Now I just hope the direct deposit comes in next week.Anyone know how long it takes?
-
so brief update filed 2/5 accepted 2/6 stuck on processing called several times told was under review. Called 916 number on 3/5 spoke to woman who said I needed to verify my job which she did over the phone. Status changed to issued March 6th so now waiting on DD.
-
Hey Spek,
Hopefully these processes move far more quickly for you than they have for many of us! Keep everyone here posted. It’s helpful. Hopefully I have an update soon.
-
I will give a running commentary here- efiled on Wednesday, 3/6. No updates on either site on Thursday. Today, Friday, 3/8, both state and fed websites show return received. Going to Vegas 3/22, so keeping my fingers crossed.
-
E-Filed on 2/20 and it has been processing ever since. Called 916-845-7088 option 2, the lady said my return just finished processing today. They will issue the fund soon and told me to call back next Thursday if I don’t get the DD.
Looks like there is a delay..
-
I filed 2/2, return accepted 2/3. I had the “allow one month for processing” status up until yesterday when it switched to 3 months. I called 916-845-7088 and selected option 2. I was on hold for about 4 minutes (8 am) then a woman confirmed some information, told me to disregard the letter they had sent out on March 4th, and told me she authorized my refund. My status has now updated to “Please allow 10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit”
I’m guessing by next week I should have it. -
I filed on 2/2/19 and the return was accepted the same day. I just called the (916) 845-7088 number with option 1. The agent said that the return was processed today (March 5, 2019) and I should receive my refund within 4 weeks. I asked “It takes 4 weeks for a direct deposit?” The agent giggled and said that that was the required answer but that I might receive it sooner.
As an aside, the recording said that the federal tax laws had changed and that California is not in compliance. It is my supposition that this is partially responsible for the delay. The rest of the delay? Well California…
-
Thank you!
-
Has anybody gotting there California refund with out updates on wmr??
-
@msbatty
5-7 business days for DD.
7-20 days for Check. -
How quickly did you all get your refund once issued?
-
Any updates from anyone? Especially those who’ve ever had their checks mailed..
-
@!stephainie
When you called do you remember what choice you made on what number topic to push?
I have called the 800 number and have gotten no where thanks! -
@Cnote
Which of you were the primary filer? That may be more important.
-
Hi, so I’ve been on processing since 2/11 and I’m thinking about calling the 916 number. My question is, my husband and I filed jointly, and he works during all irs hours…do they need us both to call? Can I just call?
-
I had been nervous waiting for my status to go from processing to processed and today noticed they changed timeframe from 1 month to 3! So i took several peoples advice and called 916-845-7088 and spoke to a nice lady who straightened it out and processed it! I called right at 7am and never was on hold. Thanks for the help!
-
Filed feb 4th Fed and State, accepted both on the same day.
Got Fed 5 days later DD no issues, state on the other hand… still processing will be one month on Monday, no letter in mail, will call tomorrow to see what is the hang up, never had a issue with anything. Very frustrating to say the least!! -
I’m just reposting this (it is not my post), because it may help some who have come looking for answers. Call the number that this poster posted and see if they can help you.
California Tax Payer
I’m so glad I found this thread! My refund was stuck on Processing since 2/4–so twelve days–and I just had a feeling that was not right. So I googled, found this thread and the advice to call if it’s been over 72 hours, so I did! The clerk asked me a few questions to verify my identity, and then pushed it through!So if it’s been after 72 in Processing for you too? Call (916) 845-7088. :)
-
We received your 2018 California Income Tax return on:Tuesday, January 29, 2019.
Your tax return requires additional processing time.
Please allow 3 months from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If you received a notice from us requesting additional information, please respond to continue the processing of your return. Allow 2 months from the date you mailed your response for a determination to be made.
We appreciate your patience.
what the heck!!
-
this morning updated to allow additional time of 3 months for processing returns….ill never get it
-
I e-filed federal and state tax docs on February 11. IRS refund showed up in my bank account on the 22nd. CA FTB still showing “processing” status online. I did try the 916 number listed previously on this forum, but all they told me was that it’s still processing and that it could take up to 30 days.
Pretty basic filing, nothing fancy. No real changes from prior years. In prior years, I have always received my CA state refund a week or two before my federal. But it seems like this year, CA FTB is completely disheveled. It was pretty eye opening to read all of the similar experiences detailed on this forum. Not sure what is going on with the CA FTB. But I guess there is some comfort in not being the only one experiencing this.
-
Hello Ryan, there is a number listed in this thread a (916) number that you should call if you’re not getting any answers. Was your return ever accepted?
-
I had my state and federal accepted on January 29th. I have received my federal return as of 2 weeks ago, I have no received CA state…
FTB website cannot verify the information I provide to check my status…
-
Update:
Filed & Accepted: 2/14
Called and faxed in docs:2/21
Called to confirm receipt of said documents: 2/26
CAFTB updated: 2/27 to issued.
I will notify you all of when I receive my check.
-
Hello All,
Updating
Filed and accepted: 2/14
Called 2/20: found out they wanted documentation for child and myself
2/21: faxed in all requested documents
2/26: called back to confirm receipt
2/27: issued date as of 2/26 on CAFTB websiteWaiting for paper check.
Call and ask questions if you have been waiting more than 7-10 days for update.
-
ugh was authorized on 2/21 expecting direct deposit and logged in this morning to a notice dated today stating DD disallowed and paper check would be mailed :( they changed my amount so now have to send paper check. so crazy because rep I spoke to said it should still go DD
-
@DeeDee still have the original “we have received your return and are processing it at this time please allow 30 days blah blah I dont know how many times I can call and not get flagged lol
-
DeeDee thank you.
I really hope everyone gets their $$$$ soon.
I guess the ftb refund website is not very accurate.
6 days after authorized to cut the check
Another 9 or 10 to mail
So over 2 weeks from authorized date…
That is bs. -
-
So glad that you got your check, FINALLY!! I don’t understand what CA is doing this year. Wow wow.
-
Kimberly Nghiem I dont know how to reply directly to your post. I filed 2/5/ 19 and was accepted same day. Also stuck on still processing, Have talked to 2 different agents and ca ftb 1 said nothing going on to wait the other said it has been sent on for review dont worry and to wait 3 weeks ha dont worry.!
-
I filed electronically and it was accepted on 2/1/19. As of today, it still says “processing” but I got my federal refund about two weeks ago. Is anyone having the same issue with the California tax refund? I have not gotten anything in the mail.
-
Finally received the check by mail.
Just an FYI…
My authorized/ issued date was 2/5
But the check was dated 2/11 -
I filed my ca return on Monday 2/11 and it was accepted that same day. My status changed to issued on Wed. 2/20 and I have still not received my direct deposit. I bank with B of A. From reading the other comments looks like people received their deposits on the 4th day after it was issued so I’m praying it comes in midnight tonight or shortly after.
-
Good luck!
-
I am on hold with them as we speak lol.
I called maybe a week or so ago and was told the direct deposit was authorized and there were no offsets to potentially cause a delay.
We will see, I called the 916 number this time.
-
Have you called ftb?
I called twice and got two different answers.The only consistent thing said was…
Since there is a 2/5 authorized date, if i did not receive a check by 3/14 i could start the paper work for a replacement refund on 3/15. -
Filed on feb 1, accepted and refund sent on Feb 5th, and still no direct deposit to my account as of today.
I would like to mention that me and my boyfriend did our taxes on the same day, filed and accepted and refund authorization sent both on February 5th and he received a PAPER CHECK in the mail and I haven’t received anything. That’s extremely weird.
-
Lol I don’t know if either rep gave me factual information. I guess I need to just be patient.
From my understanding the FTB updates once a day…overnight. But, do not quote me on that…i am going by what a rep told me last year.
Soon people soon they cannot withold our pennies forever. 😉
-
That is crazy!! I wonder why the first rep misinformed you. I’m glad you got trough, and I hope they get your check to you soon!
Do you know if FTB updates throughout the day? -
Talked to a second rep from a different department that confirmed my refund was issued 2/5 and mailed out that same week.
He said it is the USPS fault if i have not received the check. He said i have to wait until 3/14 to file a claim.
-
Wow called the number Cynthia posted and got through right away.
So the rep verified the usual then insisted my refund was accepted on the 5th not issued like the website says.
She than in my opinion contradicted herself by saying i needed to wait 4 weeks from the 5th…
Uuummm ok.
Something tells me she either just released it or she just told me what she tells everyone. -
Thank you
-
@Just me
Cynthia posted a number that may be helpful down on the 19th.
-
@Bleh
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Which number did they have you fax? I will definitely be calling next week. I thought it was crazy that the Rep would day that it takes two weeks at least for the faxed docs to show up in the system. I understand them wanting to be safe, but I don’t understand why they would hold people who are cooperative up, when they could just clear it when they have the stuff available to them.
-
What number are people using to talk to a live person?
I have tried 3 different numbers and nothing but recordings. -
what time of day does CA state refund Status update?
-
Accepted 2/14 stuck on processing called on 2/19 placed on hold and lady came back and stated she processed return and wait 4 weeks. Today 2/22 money was deposited in my account ( navy Fed) but WRM still states processing. Check your bank accounts
-
filed 1/22 got 35 day comment and then had to send docs faxed them on 20th and approved and issued 2/21 finally now I wait for Dd
-
I am sending out positive energy that those of us waiting for a check will see it in today’s mail and dd will be processed before the weekend.
Burning Candles, Money Dance, Cookies for the Postman…whatever it takes. 😁
-
Received finally this morning. Issue date 2/14
-
@chiwa you’re so lucky! I think it’s going to be a while for me.
-
Accepted on 2/4/19 and still processing. I called and was told 35 days to complete processing. Wtf!
-
I had an issue date of 2/13, got a notice in the mail today,dated 2/19, stating that I’d be receiving a paper check due to a change in refund amount.
This has been the most frustrating tax year in my adult life.
-
Correction I got the DD around 9pm pst on 2/20
-
@deedee I was in the exact same scenario with the EIC. If you call again in a few days you may get someone who can confirm that your very sensitive personal docs were received.
I faxed my docs on 2/8 and refund was issued on 2/14. I received my DD late at night on 2/21.
-
Called Ca tax number again got a pleasant person this time. Asked if I had offsets or anything showing needing more information. She came back and said iI had definitely been sent to another department for review then she said probably because I was a federal worker they had to verify my w2. Been at same job for 27 yrs so this doenst make any sense but she said I didnt show need for any information at this time or that a letter had been sent could take another 4 weeks! Just crazy this year!
-
16 days since issue date and..
Still waiting. -
Filed TurboTax 2/14
Accepted 2/14Saw one month message on 2/19
Called 2/20 and was advised that I would need to fax in verifications: Child’s birth certificate, proof of residency, SS cards, and W2’s2/21 faxed in documents and called to confirm receipt, and was told that I had to call back in two weeks to see if the docs were sufficient.
I have only ever filed with my child, same address, only had $240.00 in self employment income from Doorsash. Didn’t get a 1099-misc because I made under $600.00.
I will update you all. Please share similar experiences with this process. Does it actually take 8 weeks? I pray that it takes much less time.
-
Follow up. Just got off the phone with the CA Tax board and they are saying that you allow at least 35 days for processing. I filed on 30 Jan and they told me I should have it by 6 March which is ridiculous. New tax laws in affect.
-
I filed my taxes through turbo tax online and it was received and accepted on 30 Jan and here it is 21 Feb and it’s still stuck in processing status!! So fustrating, let it be the other way around and you owe them, they’ll come for your first born to get their money!!
-
I’m thankful for this thread and the info about the number to call helped a ton
Accepted on 1/31
Issued on 2/15
Pending DDeposit on 2/22 ( My bank shows pending deposits) -
I’m still waiting.

-

-
@amber it seems you were right. Thank you.
-
@Tammy
Just Got it (issued 2/14) -
Mine says issued on 2/19 when will I get it in my bank? How many days will it take?
-
@amber
Thanks for sharing -
Hello everyone…
Just checking in to see if anyone has received their refund by mail.Mine says issued 2/5
Still waiting… -
Mine showed issued on 2/14/19 and I just spoke to bank and they said it will hit at midnight 2/21/19 so hopefully it’s the same for everyone. I think it took longer cause my DD Ammt. Is different from what my taxes said I was gonna get back.
-
Ridiculous 🤯🤯
-
Issued 2/14…still waiting
-
Issued on 2/13, no direct deposit as of 2/20
-
@ bleh
Let me know when you receive it and I will do the same. -
Issued on 2/14 as well and still waiting for DD
-
Issue date 2/14 when should I receive my direct deposit anyone have a clue???
-
filed directly through ftb website on January 22nd and accepted within an hour. still sitting at processing called several times and each time they tell me they have not recieved w2s from my employers and to allow 30 days from accepted date… still not updates or movement and it has never taken longer then 7 days to get my state refund wtf all for $235????
-
Emm
That really sucks.
I did not know they could disallow a DD…unless the account number was incorrect.Well fingers crossed we will get our checks this week.
-
@JustMe I’m waiting on a paper check too.
I was supposed to get DD but they changed my refund amount so I’m getting a paper check.
My refund got approved 2/7
I received a letter that my DD was disallowed and that a paper check would be sent. The letter was dated 2/12 I received it 2/14
Sooo now I’m just waiting.. -
Anyone waiting for a paper check.
I have an issue date of 2/5 and still no refund check.
-
I filed and was accepted 2/2/19. Was still showing processing, so i called (916) 845-7088 today and pressed 1, I spoke with an agent who verified additional information over the phone and said no more information was needed, but then said it could take an additional 4 weeks to process. Will this also affect my federal? Why another 4 weeks if they have the information they need now? I have never had issues filing my taxes before so I am confused. I was expecting a return in 7-12 days as they claim. whats going on? any one else have to call and verify, if so have you received it yet?
-
PLEASE HELP ….. I’m going to go crazy with stress.I filed and was accepted 2/4 I had been “processing” since.I called last week and no help.Today I was told they needed further documentation and would be recieving something in the mail.
Does this mean I’m being audited??
Will this effect my federal that is “still being processed”This is the 1st year I was “self employed” with Uber.The guy on the phone said it happens with a Chang.And have the example of a marital status change.My husband and I are separated so I filed head of household.I have the kids and claim them.(high school and college)
I don’t know if he was hinting at that.Because he threw it out there.How do I prove marital status if that’s it?
If it has to do
With Uber I filed the info sent in my 1099.And claimed gas and snacks I ALWAYS has available.Also because I only use that car for Uber I claimed it for business.Its a small Kia.I have 4 teenagers so I use my SUV for personal.But I drove Uber 8-14 hours a day.I quit my job to so Uber.Any factual help would be great.I am relying on my return to pay for my 2 daughters college classes.
THANK YOU !!!
-
@tAmmy that happened to me but they told me once I saw the issue date that I no longer had to do that cause it was processed already
-
@Dee
Yes every year I filed on 1/19 -
When did you file? Do you claim your dependents every year?
-
I’m confused 🤔🤔 the site says issued 2/14 but I called and they said I have a letter to verify my dependents which I did the same thing last year. Irritated
-
Filed 2/5 accepted 2/5 been on processing since. Called spoke to a representative today who was gone a long time then told me “still processing” to wait 31 days and would get refund or letter. So I said basically I am getting a letter and she just repeated still processing!

When I check my state refund status it has received, processed and then issued, but below it it says edd. Interc epted “0” dollars from your refund anyone have something like that before or what it means.
-
I found my taxes on February 2nd I believe it was and I have an error saying that I’m supposedly entering the wrong information and it’s been doing that ever since has anyone had that problem
-
@jeffG. We are in the same boat. Have you called the FTB?
-
My taxes were free. I’ve called the FTB numerous times and all they say is that it was sent and that they can’t send a new refund until March 1. I hope it comes soon. I’ve never experienced this sort of delay.
-
So frustrated.
Filed & Accepted 2/3
Issued 2/5Paper check…snail mail…still waiting.
-
@Nicole and @Kathernine
if you opted for them to take fees out of your refund and state comes first they will take it to repay fees and also if you received an early refund advance it will also go towards that. Your funds will first be sent to the tax preparer bank for them to withdraw fees etc and any amount left they will distribute to you

Nicole, I’m having the same issue with the same dates. It’s very upsetting. I hope we see our deposits soon.
-
My state refund was issued on February 1, 2019. As of today I have not received it. Spoke with my bank and they have not seen any deposit attempts. Spoke with CA FTB and they state I should have received it. They verifed my account and routing numbers three times but could not tell me what happened to my deposit. Anyone else in the same boat? Today makes business day 11.

I’m so glad I found this thread! My refund was stuck on Processing since 2/4–so twelve days–and I just had a feeling that was not right. So I googled, found this thread and the advice to call if it’s been over 72 hours, so I did! The clerk asked me a few questions to verify my identity, and then pushed it through!
So if it’s been after 72 in Processing for you too? Call (916) 845-7088. :)
-
@bre if you know who you did your early refund advance with call them they told me so much I did mine through Jackson Hewitt and it goes throw meta bank they took it all and I still have a remaining balance that will then come out of my federal however when I called meta bank they told me exactly what was applied and what date

@Rachel I filed 2/4 accepted 2/4 just 1 day before you.I am in the same exact boat.I called (others said they called and they were “put through”) so I figured what do I have to lose.The guy Inspike with said “it’s still processing.if you don’t get it in 35 days call back” I asked if there was anything else that could be done and he said “no just wait”. Ughhhh I have NEVER had to wait for state.Except back In the paper file only days.I did my daughters AFTER mine and she got hers A couple days later🙄.She is 18 and worked part time while in school so to her the 37.00 dd was great 😂. I wish I got mine though.Both my daughters received there’s within 4 days of filing.It just makes me nervous I messed up mine.

Do you owe anything? Student Loans ect? If you do, then they will take your money.
-
State and Fed taxes is not first come. First serve. Sorry to tell you this. It’s based on many factors. The main one is when and how your employer reports your income. If the income w2 or 1099 hasn’t been logged in through ssa. This will cause either review, delays or even some form of id verify or audit
-
@Rachel
I filed and accepted on 1/19 had the 30 day wait as well. Just got and issue date of 2/14. I have the eic. Not sure why it’s taking that long to process. Now I have to see how long it takes for the actual deposit. -
My friend filed 01/29
And got her state 02/08I filed 02/05
I haven’t got my state when I checked it on the website it says processing and 1month more to wait. How come it’s like that? Does anyone here knows why it’s takimg long? -

I called because I did my daughters the same day as mine and she already received hers on 2/12.When I called the guy said it’s still processing and call back in 35 days if I don’t hear anything 🙄😕 I have never had issues.
-
Just an update, I filed on 1/19 through the CA FTB website and have been stuck on processing with the 1 month message ever since. I was going to call on 2/20 but when I checked my FTB account yesterday (2/13), there was a message/correspondence waiting for me. My return has been selected due to “The California Franchise Tax Board employs security measures to protect California taxpayers and the State from tax related identity theft. Your 2018 California individual income tax return was selected for review” and I need to mail or fax them my 2018; W2, 1099 (doesn’t apply to me), ID and pay stubs.
Not an issue, I just wish that the CA FTB had an option where you could sign into your ADP account so that the pay information can be transferred or confirmed immediately. I’ve lived at the same address for decades and have had the same job for well over a decade with relatively few changes in my annual salary. Maybe they are checking to see that I am still alive and kicking, haha. *Le Sigh*
-
@DGSA I was told to provide my W2s via fax to 916-843-6036. I was told by a rep that after submitting my forms to wait 8 WEEKS (!) for them to process.
Funny how they require you to respond within 30 days of the letter, but will not commit to responding back to you in the same time-frame.
-
@Cassie, if your California return was issued on 2/11, you will probably get a direct deposit tomorrow morning unless you are having fees taken out for tax prep. Then it might be an extra day but my guess is tomorrow. If you don’t get it tomorrow you probably won’t get it until next Wednesday since we have the weekend, and Monday is a holiday
-
Accepted 2/6
Issued 2/8
Just got my direct deposit at 1am this morning. Got both my California and my federal at the same time this morning at 1am. Seems like everyone who said 4 business days from issued date were right. -
Called the number and was told they will need my 1099 does anyone know where I need to send it to … I don’t want to wait for them to send me a letter …
-
I just want my money! lol
-
Did anyone else call and told they were done processing but still haven’t gotten a Direct deposit date? They said I completed processing last Thursday and I still haven’t updated on the site.
-
@Kassie I’d guess you’ll get it tomorrow or by Monday. Mine was issued 2/8 and I just got it this morning 2/14 in my bank account.

Ugh. 2/11 was when they did my refund and I haven’t gotten it. Thinking tomorrow?? Anyone?

Refund received 2/14❤❤ 4am via BofA DD
So if you went through a tax service if fees were not taken out it will go to them two days before and then they can remove their fees. And send to you. Also it’s not true that they only take from your federal they take their fee from whichever comes first this was taken out of my state I have not received my federal yet thank you. Hope this helps! -

I got a strange error message late night last night and then I woke up to an issue date of 2/12 I will post as soon as my add DD hits. Hang tight and call if things don’t seem right. I called with a very “I need your help” attitudue. I lost my job recently to layoff and I made sure to mention “I’m sorry to be a stalker, but I just was laid off so this money is really important to my livelihood” . she was very understanding and I went to “issued” the next day. BTW- Thank you to California for it’s compassion. <3

Filed and accepted on 2/5/2019
I called the 916 number and the agent said he would go ahead and process. He then informed me that I needed to provide my W2s and last Paystubs for the 2018 year as verification.
Apparently I filed my return before the state received the information from my employer.
-
Just a few tips :
If you guys have the 1 month message, call the 916 number! (Scroll down or go through a few pages to find the number)Don’t wait for it to change because more than likely it won’t unless you call.
If you called and then try to check the website the next day, it’ll say something like wait one business day to check. That only means theyre updating your bars and you’ll see an issue date the following day.
Also, if you call and they say they’ll process it & wait 4 weeks, it’s just something that they have to say.
Direct deposit takes 4 business days from your issue date
-
@tiffanyc I hope so!!! Its been two weeks too long LOL
-
Yeah I thought it was weird because it was showing me the status, and then the first time it did say mantinance. But yesterday it said to check back later and today no status bar just says processing??? But thank you for your insight I appreciate all the feed back. Guess I’ll be waiting till 1am, lol
-
@ RUBEN Hmm Most times that signals a pending update. Not sure why you can now see your bars again and no update. Last night I updated between 11:55 and 1:30 and I received a maintenance message. Another poster PAULA got a different message but also updated last night around the same time. Don’t check WMR until 1:00 a.m. (I know that’s tough sometimes lol)
-
All my fees were taken from state even the federal fees so they might take it from state
-
No not a blank page it doesnt show the status bar anymore, I just checked now and it says being processed. But before it was saying to check back later
-
@ RUBEN what does the page say when it loads? Or is it a completely white screen?
-
Did my taxes through turbo tax on 1/28 however my state wasn’t filed till 2/7 because form for business profit and loss was not available till then. i got a 1099 from a business i clean weekly reason why i had to file as self-employed. Will it take longer for me to get my refund because of it?
SITE SHOWS:
RECEIVED 2/7
AND BEING PROCESSED …. -
@Mom24 It’s specifically states Federal when you complete your taxes, I even screenshot the page when I was completing my return because I knew I was going to ask myself that question lol. Go to SBTPG they should only have Federal listed as the refund expected because the Green Dot TurboTax card routing and account number was given specifically for your state return. I’m almost positive but check it out.

Called 916 number on 2/13 as no movement had occurred and nothing was received in the mailI spoke with someone who said there was an offset that was taken out and he was processing it and it could be up to 4 weeks. I checked WMR this morning and now everything is completely gone – nothing found.
I’m at a loss. Any tips or advice?
-
Ok guys question on the wmr page it showed that they received it, but the last 2 days it wont come up anymore when I try and check it. Does that usually mean anything???
-
@mom24
According to the rep at turbo tax, they only take the loan from federal. State should go directly to your turbo tax card.
I have a 2/8 issue date and still nothing.
-
@stef
I’m in the same boat, been processing since 1/28. I called yesterday and they told me to give it 31 calendar days. That if I haven’t recieved anything by 3/1 then I should call. I asked if there was any issues with my return she said no, that I might just be one they pulled to verify
-
Mine was issued 2/7
Got it today into my turbo tax card at 12am -
Authorized refund on 2/8
And as of today 2/13 still no deposit.
Have the H&R Block Emerald card. Anyone else get a deposit?
-
I was told that it’s pulled from whichever come first
-
Does Turbo Tax pull the anticipation loan from both State and federal or just from the federal refund? My state was issued 2/8 but still no DD on Turbo tax card.
-
Has anyone done the refund advance with Jackson Hewitt? My tax guy just argued with me that I probably won’t even get a state refund because they will take all of it and then take the reminder of the amount out of my federal? I’ve never had that issues the last 2 years with state this is a new office and I already hate it.

My ca state was issued 2/8, but I haven’t received it yet in my acct. I have an offset as well. I received my federal return two weeks ago.
Anyone received their refund who was issued on 2/8 through Jackson and Hewitt? -
Just wanted to give an insight. I haven’t gone through all the comments so forgive me if you guys figured it out. If your return still doesn’t show up after 9-10 days on the where’s my refund on ftb you probably have an offset. I’m a tax preparer. I prepared a few clients, my own, my husbands and friends. It’s been pretty consistent it won’t show any progress if there’s an off set. I spoke to an agent and he said it’s a glitch and they are trying to figure that out. Because prior years it would say the offset on the site. Just wanted to let you guys know. So if your concerned don’t hesitate to call the FTB.
-
Eric is lurking. He probably got his refund and was screaming lol. Now he is back lurking around. Lol
-
@justme I did my own taxes on TT

@widowed dad
When I called when it got issued they said I didn’t have any offsets and that I will receive my full amount.

Just received it on my Netspend 10 minutes ago. -
Courtney. You need to call FTB and ask. Or you will get a letter in the mail explaining why

It could be an offset or fees taken out for the taz prep.

Issued 2/8
Received my deposit on 2/12 at 742pm however it wasn’t the amount it was suppose to be how do I figure out why?
-
Then why are you even on this site ??
-
From FTB,
“Please allow:10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or
25 business days to receive your return”A lot of you embarrassing. We all get the same message once return is issued. If your issue date was 2/7 why are you in utter shock that you haven’t been paid yet on 2/12? I understand a little frustration if it’s not in your account early, but to be in a panic and outraged calling them up because it’s been 4 days it is pathetic.

Received 1/15
Issued 2/11 (still waiting on direct d) -
I filed my state on 1/31 accepted mins later. Still processing. Called this morning. Rep stated that CA really can take mins to process up to 4 weeks. Regardless if no flags. It’s really not first come first served. Many factors. If your employer sends your w2 doesn’t mean they’ve reported to SSA. And 1099 could take a while for SSA to accept as well. Also. Even if you’re flagged for extra review could delay. Sometimes you may need to ID verify or send a form. Sometimes it’s something they fix or review manually. I’ve always taken 4 weeks for my state. And now with fed path. I still get my fed first lol. Which is cool. My fed is way more. I have 4 girls and 2 boys and I’m a 42 year old widowed man with 3 jobs. So believe me. I’m like everyone else. Need that money.
Well anyway. God Bless you all. And I pray everyone gets there money soon.
-
Can anybody help me here? I called last week a rep told me he was going to process it. Well it never got processed yesterday I called and the rep told me my account was still open and she woukd close it and issue a date. Well this morning there was no change. I just got off the phone with somebody and she said its done processing but it will take up to 4 weeks. And dont rely on the automated system because it doesnt always update. So my question is how long does it take to get an issue date once its done processing?

Still processing…Ok so i called 2/11 because it still showed processing. I had a brief conversation with the rep and she said she processed my return and to wait 4 weeks. I asked her what the issue with my filing was and she said none that is why she processed it for me. I checked this morning on the ftb website and it wont give me any info at all
Funny part is fed refund is already in my account one day before it was supposed to be sent(2/13). Say im stoked about that, what is going on with my state refund? -
UGH I’m pissed, 2/7 issue date and I haven’t received shit from CA! It does not take days for deposits okay! Just another example of the state screwing around with our money. This is B.S!

@Jocelin yes letter will still come only because it’s auto generated but you don’t need to do anything the refund is already issued and approved so now it’s just a waiting game hopefully we see something by tomorrow 🤞🤞
-
I did the early refund advance through Jackson Hewitt and have their Serve card. We somehow managed to receive our federal return like two weeks ago, so I’m just waiting for the CA state return now. I hadn’t seen any comments on here about the JH cards yet, so I wanted to say that when we got our federal, it came through super late in the day, between 4 and 5 p.m, so if anyone else has a 2/7 issue date like I do for the state and has this card, let’s cross our fingers that we get the money this evening lol
-
Still no issue date!
-
Filed 2/28
Issued 2/7
As of 5 am. My refund is on my turbo card!!!!!!! :) -
Filed: 2/2
Issued 2/7As of this morning (2/12)have not received. Called HR Block emerald card and said roughly 4 business days from when issued so should be there tomorrow morning.
-
Issued 2/7 and still waiting on DD
-
Issue date 2/7. 5 days out no deposit. Some people got there’s already. I don’t understand.
-
Filed 2/5. Processed 2/5. Refund issued 2/6. DD hit BOA 12:15 AM PST 2/12. Seems some Sundays don’t count in the 4 day flip or Turbo Tax took one day float for interest.
-
No deposit yet 2/7 issue date.
-
Still nothing ugh wth
-
@Angelica thank you so much that’s a relief!! So I still going to get the letter ? But I’m still getting my refund anytime this week? Did you get it already?
-
@Jocelin I got the same thing you’ll still get the letter I called yesterday just to confirm because I got the 2/8 issue date as well and they told me everything was all processed and not to worry about it anymore
-
I had called the number on Thursday and I was told that I needed more info that they were going to send out a letter with instructions on what I needed, but my status changed to issued on 2/8 does that mean I’m good to go? They won’t send me the letter anymore ?
-
@lynnda I have the same Issue date let me know if you get it. Thank you
-
Issue date 2/8 still waiting. I hope my refund is there in the morning.
-
2/7 issue date. No DDD
Hoping I get it by midnight. Anyone on the same boat? -
Issued date of 2-8 waiting on DD
-
If it usually takes four days after your refund has been issued, does that include weekend days or just business days?
-
Deposits are usually received 4 days after issue date, generally not any earlier that I have seen.
-
My state refund issue date was 2/8, nothing in my turbo card yet. Should I call the state, TurboTax, or the turbo prepaid card ?
-
if your state has accepted over 72 hours and still not issued.. call them!
phone # (916) 845-7088
-
for 2/8 issued date.. DD will most likely be on 2/13
-
Issued 2/8
Anyone receive their deposit who was issued on 2/8?
-
@Claichick
Thank you! -
If you filed using Emerald Card service from HR Block, and your refund has been issued for more than 4 days on the state website, call the service number on the Emerald Card. Ask the rep to check if there is a pending deposit to your account from the state, not IRS. They will likely tell you there is nothing on their system. DO NOT LET THEM FOOL YOU. Let the rep know you have already contacted state FTB, and confirmed the transfer, and was told to ask if HR Block has a pending transaction, not Emerald Card service. The banks don’t like to admit that they play with your money while it’s processing, and after implying this I was told that I would have my refund within 24-48 hours. If I hadn’t spoken to FTB, HR Block would make me wait until Federal return hits, and deposit both returns at once, even though they have had access to my state funds since 2/6. Scammers.. Hope this helps someone
-
Hi everyone!!!
i received my refund today!!!
1/28 accepted
2/7 refund issued after calling in

-
I called The number that u guys said to call on the 8th and my status changed to issued on sauturday. Thank you guys! Literally was only on the phone with the rep for about 5 mins
-
Alright Bryan! He’s a 2/7 issue so am I so hopefully something is happening soon!
-
State accepted on 1/28 and as of today 2/11 still processing??? How long should processing tske?
-
Issued 2/7 just hit my bluebird card 2:23pm pst
-
Mine was issued on the 7th. Nothing yet. And I have a prepaid that loads it as soon as it deposits
-
Has anyone with a 2/7 DD get their refund yet?
-
So my state was excepted to two but says processing and my federal was excepted to two and came up with the path act what should I do?
-
My husband file thru mail. Got his paper check in 9 days total with the weekend so 7 total business days
-
Anyone else waiting for a paper check?
I had issues with direct deposit onto the Amx Serve card last year and decided to have the refund mailed. I am wondering if they have a schedule for checks or if they are cut daily.
Filed & Accepted 2/3
Approved & Issued 2/5 -
Finally issued 02/08
Still waiting for DDD -
@mari808 they told me the same thing. Then i got a ddd so u still might be in luck! Keep checking.
-
@Paula No, he just said sometimes it takes a while to update to issued. I guess all I can do is just wait.
@tiffanyc Hopefully we see a DDD tonight! -
FTB
Filed accepted 1/28
Issued 2/8
Still waiting for DD. 3-4 days. -
@Jocelin – It looks like deposits are taking place about 4 days after FTB shows “approved”. I was approved on the 7th and also bank with Chase, so I’ll update tomorrow hopefully with good news.
-
I have a prepaid card. My refund was issued on the 7th. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to send it. My card releases the funds as soon as they get it.
-
@mari808 oh no! Sorry! But sometimes they do a random audit, it happened to my mom and dad years ago. There was no particular reason and they didn’t do anything wrong, they just got picked for audit.
-
I’m being audited ☹️ Will need to send in additional information once I receive my letter.
-
At what time of the day does state usually deposit ? I have chase and was issued on the 8th
-
@Britaneu. It’s only 9:14 here and ur post says 10. Something. I’m confused about the time of the post . Did you see yours last night at 2 am or this morning when. U lovged on to ur bank
-
Called this am, only to be told my return was “in another department” and that I needed to allow some time for processing.
It has already been 10 days.
The rep told me they have seen returns take as long as one year to process. It was the most bizarre conversation I have ever had. I received no information, no eta, and just attitude from a rep that was borderline laughing at me for calling. Wow!
-
@ Marie Thanks for all the info! I also called on Thursday around 10:15 & it was processed while I waited. Still no update on FTB site. So this gives me hope for today- Thanks for being a redactedr! lol
-
I callee last Thursday and supposedly the guy I talked to said he was going to push it through. And it wouldntake upto 4 weeks.
I called this morning again cause I still havent had an update and the lady told me that my case was still open and she was going to close it if there were no errors. She came back and said everything is good to go. Please allow upto 4 weeks.. im really hoping for an issue date tomorrow! -
Marie – that’s great news! Did he say how often it updates or when you could expect it to?
-
So I ended up calling the 916 number for the 6th time lol and the rep told me that my return was processed and completed last Thursday. He said the system hasn’t updated yet so thats why I don’t have a DDD yet. Which is weird because some people here got DDD on the same day they filed. I hope I finally update today! Its been two weeks too long.
-
@Ann my deposit hit at 2 am yours should be there today too @ Brenda they don’t deposit on Sunday you should have it tomorrow here is a recap for me filed 2/6 accepted 2/6 issued 2/6 recieved DD on 2/11

Issued 2/6
Waiting for DD for everyone who is still seeing a processing message that means they need more information from you call them. -
If the state is reviewing your refund, whether because of deductions, multiple income sources, or some other reason, the processing time they provide is one month.
-
It seems that the state deposit hits 4 business days after the issue date. Emerald card posted mine just after 2 AM. Banks can and sometimes do hold deposits for 48 hours for how they use deposits for profit but they may be releasing tax refunds when they get them because of competition.
-
Efiled federal and state 2/1
Both accepted 2/1
Federal refund approved 2/8, with 2/13 eta for direct deposit
State still shows processing with no further updates -

Mine was issue 1/30 still no DD I have NetSpend
-
Issued 2/5, still no DD. Anyone with the same issue date with no DD? Bank is Wells Fargo
-
Why does mine say theres an error now? Filed and accepted 1/28. No offsets or anything im aware of
-
It’s means issued.
-
What does authorized mean is it same as issued ?
-
@RunMeMyMoney thank you. Will count on having the refund 3-4 days. Thx
-
Has anyone filed and had their DD going to a netspend Card?
How long until you got your refund?
-
@Stephanie Z – I got my DD today after it being issued on 2/5. I have a credit union so maybe that’s why.
-
Oh okay will do thanks
-
@Bev
have your son call them. don’t wait, they might need to verify some stuff then will process right away. -
My son filed his 2/1 and still processing as of 2/8! Is that normal for a first time filer?
-
Has anyone filed and had their DD going to a netspend Card?
How long until you got your refund?
-
I have the same issue as Tiffany.
-
@Paula Thats the same thing they told me yesterday and I still haven’t updated on the site.
-
Hey guys. How long does it take to get your DD after issue date? Based on people’s post, it seems like 4 days – is that right?
-
There’s another Tiffany that just posted so I added a C to my name :) *Fingers Crossed for an issue date
-
I e-filed via turbotax; 2/2
accepted 2/2.I called today after reading this forum. (the 916 line)
She had me on for about 5 minutes and then came back to ask me where my DD was going and if that was different from last year. (it was) She put me on hold for about 10 more minutes and then came back and confirmed my bank change and then told me “I should have my refund in 2-4 weeks”. I’m assuming that means she processed it? I’m not sure. I am anxious to see if it updates tomorrow, but I don’t know if it will update on Saturday. Fingers crossed. -
I want to call again, but I guess I’m going to just wait to see if I get an update tonight.
-
My return was accepted on 1/27 and as of yesterday it still said processing. I tried to check it this morning and it said the site couldn’t provide me with any information and to call the FTB. Anyhow, I called this morning and she stated that there was no issues that they’re just waiting for authorization. I’m so confused.
-
What does it mean if 1 month message changes to unable to,find information at this time? Please check back after 24 hours
-
@Courtney
That is just weird but I hope she is right. Thanks for the update! -
@reecespieces @kathy
I called and they assured that my Ca taxes were processed yesterday and to just wait for them to deposit into my account. She said that the website provides that because it’s no longer processing.
-
Filed 1/24 and got 1 month message
Called today and lady said it was done and processed as of yesterday and to wait 7-10 days for a depositWMR still says processing and 1 month message. I see people say when they get theirs processed it changes to issued on WMR within a few hours. Kinda hoping she didn’t just give me a BS answer because mine still says processing. Guess We’ll find out
-
-
@Cee same here
-
@Marie
LOL! Thanks for the heads up- I would’ve eventually called again. I think we have a good chance *FINGERS CROSSED. When mine updates I’ll post. Good Luck! -
@Tiffany I called again this morning and the woman told me not to call anymore until March 8th LOL. I guess I just have to wait now. I hope we see a update tonight!
-
Hello, filed TT
ACCEPTED 1/3 (STATE AND FED )
STATE – CHECKED 1/5 SAID IT WAS ISSUED 1/4
RECIEVED DEPOSIT TODAY FOR STATE .FED STILL PROCESSING..
-
Hey hey ya’ll good morning! Didn’t expect any change but this girl just checked and I got an issue date!
Accepted January 27, 2019
Issued on February 7, 2019Haven’t called my bank as of yet (it’s Union Bank of California) who says they do not hold refunds they make them available as soon as they receive it. Will update when I receive the refund.
I was going to comment that last year was quicker for processing but it actually took 13 days to process and I received an offset letter on the 20th of February (filed 2/2) and I commented on here I received the check by mail on the 2nd of March. So I was actually complaining early haha but this year no offset whoo hoo I’m just happy there were no problems!
-
@Marie Same here, called yesterday around 10:15 a.m. waited on the phone about 4 minutes while she processed my return. She was polite. I called last year as well and the next morning I had an issue date of the date that I called but today there was no issue date update on the FTB website. I know I’m just being impatient. I get super crazed during this time- no idea why- same husband and same three kids (that belong to us lol).
-
If issued on 2/5 will they DD on a weekend (tomorrow)?
-
That happened to me but then I checked again a few hours later and my refund was issued!
Now just waiting until it hits my turbotax prepaid card.Anyone know how long it takes to deposit to the turbo card???
-
This website is amazing and full of great information. What I learned from here and how people basically nailed it.
In terms of CA state:
I filed 2/1
Accepted 2/3
Issued 2/4
DD hit today 2/8I filed online and had them take their fee out of my DD, I found out this delays the DD by a day. They want their money and then give it to you. Anyways once issued its 4 business days. That seems to be the lock once you get an issue date.
So mine issued Mon and I had it Fri
As for federal. I was accepted 2/1
There are cycle codes you can grab from your previous online transcripts, or current ones. If your cycle code ends in a 4 you’re a daily, if it ends in a 5 you’re a weekly. What that means is dailies can get updates and deposits on any business days. Weekly’s have Their transcripts updated on Friday’s, like today, and their where’s my refund website updates on Saturday’s. Deposits happen only on Wednesday.
If anyone is wondering about their federal I recommend just googling: irs transcripts. Look at the 2018 record. Mine is currently showing the funds issued date, if any money was taken out.
It says DD is 2/13 and that’s the day I expect it to hit my acct.
Hope all this info helps
-
@kathy I did but I don’t know what it means.
-
Issued 2/4
DD hit emerald card at 2:30am
-
Called rep yesterday and said she processed and issued funds and when I checked online the status , it says unable to provide info?? I know I put the right info .. anyone got this message today ??
-
Finally issued!!! 3 long weeks of processing.
Filed 1/18
Accepted 1/18
Issued 2/7
It did not show issued yesterday and the rep told me it would take 4 more weeks when I called yesterday. Finally updated this morning. -
Help I keep getting error message after days of processing and I called yesterday…. what does the “unable to provide info” message mean?
-
Spoke to a rep yesterday who processed it on the phone and I still don’t have a update on the website. It still says processing. I hope I get a direct deposit date soon.
-
Issued 2/5
No DD yet
-
Not sure if there’s any connection but yesterday my federal finally changed to the PATH act message and then my state was issued as of yesterday’s date too
-
I’m not sure if anyone cares or is even paying attention to my comments but figured it might help someone so here it is.
Filed 1/25
Accepted 1/25
Issued 2/7Hoping to have my money by Wednesday! Keeping fingers crossed
-
Mine was issued on the 5th but no deposits yet. Hope it will hit today.
-
Just got state direct deposit, it was issued on the 5th!
-
I filed on 01/29 thru E-FILE and got an email from them that my state return was accepted. However on WMR it has never shown accepted or anything. The only thing it has ever said is “unable to provide status with info entered”…I entered everything correctly. So I called and the rep said my return was received and is processing. But why is WMR showing nothing at all? Couldn’t give me an answer….just told me to wait.
-
Filed on 2/2
Issued in 2/4
Just got my refund right now, 2/7 at 10:30pm through Chase!Looks like the 4 business days from issue date is right!
-
Received: 1/24
Processing: 1/25 with the 1 month message.Called the regular number a couple days ago to make sure there was nothing to be done on our part and they said they didn’t see any flags and that it was just processing. Told us to wait 4 weeks, but it probably wouldn’t take that long.
Called the magic number today and the first woman was really rude. She asked a few questions, said it was processing, and pretty much rushed us off the phone.
Called again and the 2nd lady comments that we’d already called today. We told her the first lady wasn’t very nice and we still didn’t know if anything was needed from us because she wasn’t answering our questions. The 2nd lady said the first put it through to processing.
Just checked and it updated to Issued on 2/7. So, if you’re in doubt on if you should call or not, call. It really does help.
-
Oh wow!! As I typed that my return hit the bank!! Lmao!! 4th folks check your accounts
-
Anyone with an issue date of the 4th get their refund yet? Last year I had a stupid offset. Seriously less than 5 bucks so they sent a check and it took forever. I was half spazz attacking thinking my deposit went to the wrong account or something crazy. If anyone with a 4th date gets their or money or has will you please let a fella know
-
@Ali thank you. fingers crossed that it shows “issued” on my FTB.
-
Jesse
I’m from Ca. filed 1/31 state issued 2/1 and received my $ today.

Stephanie Z
I had an issue date the next morning. And the date was for the day that i had called.
-
Thank you!!
-
Hi everyone!
For those who called the 916 number and had their tax returns processed through the rep, how long did it take you to get your refund or an issue date? I called today and the rep was able to push mine through, but she did say that to give it 4 weeks. I’m assuming this is a general comment, just wondering if it comes sooner. Thanks! -
That’s not necessarily true. I believe if they can push it through they will. However in some circumstances it’s out of their control. In my situation I’m self employed so one of my forms needed wasn’t ready/released until today for efiling.
-
This is kind of like my day is going; I called the 916 number not once but twice, and after entering my social it rings and someone picks up and hangs up the phone and the call ends. I swear, it sounded like someone picking up the receiver and hanging it up hahaha oh boy
-
Has anybody received their California tax refund yet??
-
If your still seeing the one month message call. Ask them to check to make sure all your info is correct and ask them to push it through. They can. If they don’t, it’s just because they don’t want to.
-
Give it about 4 business days from issue date
-
@Elle, you’re welcome. I know many are in the same situation as i am (NEED $$ ASAP) so I’m just doing what i can to help. I scrolled through 30plus pages and found the # and other helpful comments.. this forum is very helpful.
also, i filed my return through ftb.ca.gov for free virus paying $40-$50 on Turbotax, which i’ve used every year excluding this year for the state.
-
I got the state ok and issue date 2-4
Filed 1/30.
DD nothin
-
Refund issued 2/5. You think I would get the refund Saturday?
-
filed 1/31
issued 2/4
as of today 2/7 nothing yet
-
@Ester Nino
When you called, what did you tell the rep? When I called, he asked me the reason i was calling.. i played dumb and said “i was curious on the state of my return since I had filed a couple weeks ago and a few of my friends whom filed after me had got their return, so…?” then the rep pulled up my return and said he need to verify some info such as my DL # and address.. (i think). then he told me that i’m all set and he had just processed my return. a few hours later, i check FTB website and my status went from “processing” to “issued” simple as that.
I think if you tell the rep that you’re still in “processing” status or something like it sound like “you know what you’re doing.. checking WMR status” then they will give you the robotic answer.
Or you just got a lazy rep, try to call again and hopefully you’ll get a more helpful rep.
-
We received your 2018 California Income Tax return on: Tuesday, January 29, 2019.
Still in Processing Status.
Called FTB today: Representative advice it would take up to 4 weeks to process.Upset and frustrated with new processing time. It used to be real quick.
-
Omg!! You guys are awesome! I’ve been stuck on the one month message since 1/21 and I called the number you guys listed. The rep processed my return!! Yay. Finally!! Thanks everyone.
-
Thabk you guys for the advice! I just called and spoked to a gentleman that told me everything looked good and he just had to verify some things with me. And that it was done processing and might take up to 4 weeks! Hopefully it dont take that long! But so glad I called!
-
@Marie, you should see it by 10pm PST
-
Thank you guys. I just called and she verified my direct deposit bank and some other stuff, and than she told me that she would process it. She said to wait 4 weeks for a refund.I hope it won’t take that long! When did you guys see a update on wheres my refund? Mine still says processing.
-
OMG!! @BA you gave theeeee best advice!!
Please listen to @BA: All who filed over a week ago should call (916) 845-7088 if your status is still stuck on processing.
I filed on 1/28 and was accepted the same day. Because I was getting the EIC they put me on hold. They wanted to verify that nothing had changed with my address and how I had filed and which bank account my money was going into.
CALL THEM IF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A WEEK SINCE GETTING ACCEPTED!!!
-
Filed 1/20 TT
Accepted 1/23
Still on processing called the 916 number on 2/7
Spoke to a gentleman told him I couldn’t get any info online about my return.
He assured me that my return was being processed and to allow up to 4 weeks to complete but could be less exact words. Both credits claimed by the way. -
@marie I just told them that its been processing for a while since 1/18 and no movement and she checked and verified my name date of birth, refund amount, etc and she issued the funds after.
-
@marie when I called the lady processed it for me as well. I just said I think my status is frozen in processing and it has been awhile since I filed. She pulled everything up after I verified and she processed and issued it. Just waiting for it to go to the bank.
-
@Kathy What did you tell them when you called? I have called three times already and they are still telling me to wait.
-
Called the 916 number and was on hold for 5 mins.. and she took care of my return right there and then and released the funds. I wish I knew sooner and I couldve called them last week.. Now I have to wait for the funds to get to my bank.
Filed 1/18 Accepted 1/18..still processing as of today so I called and lady issued funds as I was talking to her on the phone. :) -
Filed with H&R Block and accepted by FTB 1/31, issued 2/1, and received this morning, 2/7, at 2:17 a.m. on the Emerald Card. No offset, no dependents or anything like that, no problems on my return. I’m using the earned income credit. So it is exactly one week since I filed it that I received the refund.

Issued 2/1 & DD early this am
USBank -
Finally got a straight answer from someone this morning. I guess someone is currently working on it but they’re missing the Sch C for for profit loss which I don’t see how is my fault when I filed directly through their site. Anyways the lady said she spoke with the agent working on it and they’re trying to see if they can push it through if not I’ll get a notice and that the site should update for by Monday if not to call back.
-
FYI : issue date 2/1 and I got my DD this morning 2/7. Regular checking acct with Chase.

Called the 916 number and the lady processed it on the phone for me.

Update to my refund:
Filed/Accepted: 2/4
Was Processing as of yesterday.
2/5: WMR Processing
2/6: WMR gave me the ‘unable to locate’ message after yesterday’s processing.
2/7: Refund Issued on 2/6Last year it was 4 business days (1/30 issued, received on 2/5). I am expecting the same this year.
-
Filed with TT 1/25
ACCEPTED 1/26
Still processingCalled today about my state and they had me verify my identity and then told me everything was fine and she would process my refund today. She said if I dont get them in 4 weeks to call back. Anyone have the same dialogue and when did you get your issued update or your return?

@CABOI thank you

What time of day does the status change for the Ca state refund?
-
Just called again and my account is under review. Again, nothing I can do but wait. The review process takes 4 weeks from today. No Eric, this is just overpaid taxes. That’s all we want back.
-
I’ve been stuck in processing for 3 weeks now. I call everyday and get the exact same answer. Nothing is wrong and it can take up to 30 days. I was “verified” last Friday b Eva ans still nothing. I’m so frustrated.
-
Does anyone know at what time do state update ?
-
When did you file? I’m still waiting on my federal to process. Already received my state.
-
Issued 2/1 – DD hit my account today
-
Still says processing! Filed and accepted on the 29th. It has never taken this long.
-
Good morning!
I am seeing a lot of people saying the wmr says issued and it has been several days and no DDD. This happened to me last year. In the end it turned out they took my state return to pay my fees owed to JH. This usually comes out of the federal but last year for me it came out of state. Call and ask if the DD has been released if it has ask them to verify the bank account the funds were transferred to.This year I used TurboTax fees up front and a paper check…filed & accepted 2/3 – issued 2/6 now waiting on snail mail.
-
If your name is Dajarnet then weekends don’t count. Now, if you claim your baby momma LaDorita and your daughter Princess as dependents the usual time frame fo’ processing increases by three (3).
Just the rules.
-
So weird, about 3 days ago it said the deposit had been sent to my bank, but nothing yet🤷🏼♀️ I got my federal, but no Ca. Anyone else?
-
Is the weekends counted and do anyone know when does fib usually update
-
Fuck these bastards and the goddamn horse they rode in on.
-
Issued on 2/1, checked 2:15 AM Pacific time. Using Emerald card. Not a goddamn cent.

@Sheen
It was issued on 2/1

@CABOI what day was yours issued?

@CAmom same here issued on 2/5 no DD yet

Filed 28th
Accepted 29th
FINALLY. !!!! Just updated to “issued”
Now I wait for DDD -
all who filed over a week ago should call (916) 845-7088 if your status is still stuck on processing. Filed and accepted on 1/25 and it was on processing until i called the # on 2/6 and it took the rep less than 10 minutes to process it. within a few hours, my status updated to “issued” per below :
Your Refund Results
We authorized your refund on Wednesday, February 6, 2019.
i was trying to wait patiently and maybe it’ll take 7-10 days to issue but seeing how many wait a few more days after the issued date for the money to show in the account so i couldn’t wait any longer since i’m not even in the “issued” status,.. i gave them a call and less than 10 minutes, the rep said he’s just processed for me. WOW.. if i hadn’t call them and wait, who knows how much longer i will have to wait.
bottom line is, don’t wait over a week, just call them and it’ll get processed faster. if i had known this, i would’ve called them last week and maybe by now, i would’ve had my money in the account already. now i have to wait a few more days.

Sent / accepted: 1/29 / 1/30
On 2/2 I saw a message that said “Refund Issued on 2/1.” Usually get federal tax return first…

Thanks! It’s just been stuck on that page for so many days I was like what is going on

@MamaBeauty – that error message means you’re being updated so your refund should be issued soon. Check in the morning. The same thing happened to me and then I was approved amd refund issued. I’m still waiting on the DD. It seems everyone is receiving them in 4-5 business days after it’s approved.

@Eve
You should get it by tomorrow. When did they approve your federal? -
Social security cards for myself and children
Birth certificates
Medical records etc which I thought was all submitted when I gave it to Jackson Hewitt 🤷♀️🤦♀️ -
Filed with TT on 1/28, accepted 1/28, DD was issued 2/1 – however, still nothing. I just rcvd my federal refund before the state, weird because I usually get my state before the federal.
is anyone encountering the same issue with issue date 2/1 but no funds yet? -
Hi!
My state did originally say accepted/processing on 1/28 then the nect day..poof gone and it gives me the unable to provide online issue with info provided ever since !.

@Bleh
no don’t wait, you should call them first thing tomorrow since they’re probably closed today. they may need additional verification and if that happen, you’ll be put on the “to call” list and who knows when they’ll get to you. i was on the list and since i called today, the rep went ahead and process my return today. unless you’re the lucky few that got the call already. -
Where’s my refund says they received my return on 1/14 and it’s still processing. Should I wait until 2/14 to call?
-
@Angelica
What do you have to verify?

So I got to call today and I’ve been pulled for “verification” that something didn’t match and now will have to wait another 4 weeks after they receive everything

It’s 2/6 and 17 minutes after the afternoon cut off for afternoon ACH transactions. FTB issued my refund on 2/1 and I’m using Emerald Card. Still no refund. Remember, if you’re using a bank it will be about a day and a half longer than it is for Emerald card and credit unions, unless your bank decides to issue a refund when they receive it. Although banks usually clear at midnight.

File: 1/25
Processing: 1 month message
called: 2/6 @ 1:40pmspoke with a rep and he verified additional info such as my DL# then told me i’m good to go and that he will process my tax today and i should get an “issued” date soon. ask him was there something wrong cause it took too long while some whom filed after me got theirs already. he told me nothing was wrong it’s just mine was waiting to process “list” …
so i guess the order of batch to process doesn’t go by the date you file, had i known that, i would’ve called last week. for those who filed two weeks ago and got the 1 month message, i advise you to call them. might be like mine where it’s down on their list but didn’t get touched until i call.

Hopefully will see the same as years past with tomorrow showing the refund was issued. Then around 4 days after that I should see the actual refund. Fingers crossed.

That was that. So bummed out

Issued on 1/31 and finally got my deposit today. So whoever said 4 business days from the issue date is correct.

These bastards take the money immediately, every time. Giving back what is rightly mine is slow and at their pace.
Fuck the whole system.

If it matters, I have a traditional bank account. No credit union or cash card i.e net spend, rush card etc.For those who have an issued date, you should see your deposit after about 4 business days granted there are no offsets.
-
Apparently my refund was offset because my ex husband used my SS number to commit welfare fraud to obtain more benefits, and there’s a $1600 debt.
And because of that.. I am now unable to pay my past due childcare bill and unable to continue working at my new job.
Be careful who you marry, folks. See you guys next year..

Refund issued on 1/31 and still hasn’t hit my account. This is getting annoying!

@auttib Sorry to hear that. You should get the XYZ on a paper check in your mail. Make sure YOU intercept that and your ex doesn’t. 😉

@HulaGirl when I call the phone number to do WMR, it says $901 was intercepted and sent you xyz. I knew my ex had done it.. did not know that I was still roped into it.

Hey everyone,
I filed 1/27
Accepted 1/28
I checked on 1/29 and it stated processing.
Following day it’s unable to provide status and has been like that since. Last year as some of you, I too had my refund within 5 days. I made around the same amount of income 2017 as 2018. I don’t see anyone else having the unable to provide status msg… Maybe I missed it. -
Me too. 1/28…processing. I got my return in days last year. ☹️
-
Guess I’ll jump on the bandwagon lol. My return was accepted on the 28th and my mother’s on the 29th. We still are stuck on the processing bar 😫.
-
@Misscare
It looks like you had an offset… You should receive a letter in the mail saying why there was an offset.
-
Update my refund has been DD into my emerald card BUT it’s only a quarter of the amount…
-
I’m sooo hoping I wake up to a dd tomorrow!
-
Same here! Filed 1/21 – no offsets. Still one month message
-
Filed: 1/29
Checked on 2/1 and got a message saying refund has been issued on 2/1/19 and to allow 10 business days. Will it actually take 10 business days or will it hit my account before ? -
Lol @JohnnyJ coming back after that post. It is helpful. I’m a day after you. My money is already spent but it’s been fun stalking it with you. Take care buddy until next year. 😎🤙🏽
-
Guys I came back to check on y’all as I will be currently waiting for my federal and stalk pages lol..I think everyone is seriously overthinking things but I understand I do it too. Anyways if it’s helpful I received my deposit @ 10 last night and didn’t see it until this morning. I was approved the 29th and have the hr block emerald card..I called yesterday and it said the DD date for today..if you were approved I believe your money is on the way!!

This is also why I “bank” with Walmart MoneyCard. I had SDCCU once. San Diego Credit Union. I read horror stories of people going on vacation outside of San Diego and getting their cards locked due to fraud threats. I emailed, called, and posted on my account that I would be in Hawaii. I go to get my rental car and my card was blocked, she ran it 3 times. She finally let me go but I had to call my bank. They say oh yeah cool it’s back on. I proceed to hotel and get declined. So now what? Lucky I remembered that ATMs don’t directly communicate with banks so I withdrew my daily limit, paid the hotel, and barely had enough left over to eat on vacation for a week. I get home and those 3 rental car charges went through and I redrafted my balance so they locked my account again. Meanwhile, my auto pay bills got returned and I racked up overdraft charges like crazy. It took them 6 weeks to straighten it out. They turned off my direct deposit. So now they want $500 for the overdraft fees. I said. Eff U and closed the account. I told them if they wanted my money they can turn on my direct deposit which they wouldn’t do. Of course I still had to pay the fees but that’s why I hate banks and credit unions. Hopefully this was a fun read to pass the time… if not oh well I need something to do until I check my account tonight at 1 am when green dot may or may not give me my money. Lol
-
Bravo @Lauren. Bravo. I loved reading your 966 words although the JohnnyJ and Sarah both got deposits in their banks on X day card Z+1/4 x 3/8 so what time did the train arrive? Had my brain like holy sheet is this the SAT test??
Anyhoos. The best bit was about the banking schedules. Most people think Johnny got his on Sunday and I had the same issue day, that must mean I will get mine too… not so. It all depends on your bank and when the deposits clear. There is nothing to be gained from comparing dates. The only thing that matters is that “ISSUED” wording.
But… like you said… if you’re getting a wait message it probably means someone at FTB has to actually do some math and depending on their moods they just throw you a message and restack you which is why I keep saying that it doesn’t hurt to call a couple times to see if you can get someone to UNstack you lol.
Anyway your post was informative and very entertaining even if it did make me pour a glass of wine to calm down and remind myself that there would not be a pass or fail at the end of your quiz. Lololololol -
CA state WMR says that my refund was deposited yesterday but its not in my bank. Dose anyone know how long it is supposed to take?
-
*What I have learned* (966 words)
I e-filed my taxes with H&R Block 1/31 late in the day. IRS and CA FTB accepted my return that day. The next day, Friday 2/1, neither system showed an update on my status. Saturday 2/2, FTB showed that my refund had been issued Friday 2/1. Times of day to check for an electronic deposit are 10 AM, 2 PM, and between 10 PM and 12 AM. Read more to learn why.
I started to remember there are registration fees due on a car that I got a title loan on and my Jeep that was wrecked and now has a salvage title. I don’t know if I have an offset. I called the national number for government offsets; they all go through the same system. Consumer offsets also go through the system. Federal Offset Center, 1-800-304-3107. I had no offsets but the system can be updated with new information. I don’t want to check again.
I have read through online forum posts and many people report that they had to wait; many people report that their refunds were approved 2/1. I assume the CA FTB delay may have a connection to W-2 deadline. January 31st is the deadline to distribute Forms W-2 to employee(s). The forum comments break my theory.
PATH Act requires the IRS to wait until 2/15 to send returns for people who claim EIC credits and CA does not have that delay. IRS says that people claiming credits should expect refunds between 2/27 and 3/6-ish. Checks are likely mailed out the day of electronic payments.
CA FTB processes electronic payments in ACH batches. ACH stands for automated clearinghouse and it is how money is moved. (Over-simplified, I know; use a web search to learn more.) ACH now allows same day transactions according to their (NACHA) daily schedule of a morning submission deadline at 10:30 AM ET, with settlement occurring at 1:00 PM and an afternoon submission deadline at 2:45 PM ET, with settlement occurring at 5:00 PM.
This means that your financial institution will receive a pending transaction when it arrives and will have it cleared at 1 and 5 PM ET. 10 AM and 2 PM PT, respectively. If you have an Emerald Card, these are the times that you will receive your refund but allow a few minutes or so for technology delays.
If your deposit is going to a bank, the bank will receive your money at those times but hold the funds so it can collect interest on deposits, as that is how they earn money. This usually means two midnights before the funds are in your account but if your bank is honest with you, they may tell you have a pending transaction. This delay affects both credits and debits against deposits, like checks, but not ATM debits that are legally treated like cash.
Credit unions, debit card bank alternatives (e.g., Bluebird, Netspend), and tax company debit cards (e.g., Emerald Card) are not earning interest on your ACH money so they usually give it to you when they get it.
CA FTB will issue a refund on whatever schedule they have but the ACH transaction will be initiated during their regularly schedule batch process. Perhaps that is at 5 PM or midnight. Maybe they have more than one in a day. It is not likely they have a batch process on weekends but if they do, it will still process on the ACH schedule.
The CA FTB batch process will send the ACH transaction. NACHA will receive the transaction and settle it at the next M-F time of 1PM ET and 5PM ET. Your ACH deposit account will make the funds available to you on their schedule. Your bank will wait 48 hours and debit cards could be a few minutes after 10 AM PT and 2 AM PT. There could also be delay from system updates. Emerald card people say that they do not hold refunds but stella posted that she saw nighttime updates between 10PM and midnight. JohnnyJ said his refund hit the night of 2/3.
Some transactions only occur on Wednesdays and I don’t remember where I saw that.
Two people in this forum got refunds. Momof 4 boys said her DD was 1/30 and received the night 2/3 with funds available 2/4. There is no mention if she is using a bank or Emerald card. If it is a bank, then it could be that the refund was issued Wednesday, 1/30. That CA FTB ran the ACH batch to hit one of the settlement times on Thursday. That her bank held the funds for two midnights Thursday and Friday, and that funds were available the next business day, Monday. If she used a debit card, then there is some other delay.
JohnnyJ also received a refund on 2/4. He said “his” was 1/29. Was that acceptance or issued? Did he have a card or bank account? Whatever the case, CA FTB is issuing refunds, now.
Refunds that are in a “processing” status likely have some issues that require a person to look at them. Some issues can include multiple employers, various deductions, offsets, mismatched numbers, typos, something is duplicated, something is missing, something is oddly different than previous years, or the computer had a hiccup. My refund issuance was an overnight turnaround but I don’t know if there is an offset, yet I have no indication there is.
I am learning a lot in this process and one thing I learned is that I don’t like how banks hold my money so they can collect interest that they don’t pay me. I think that for saving money, I will use a credit union and for spending accounts, I will use online bank alternatives unless I absolutely need a bank account, like for business.
-
Same. It’ll be 2 weeks tomorrow.

@mike same thing here

Been over two weeks and I still have no update . They still way one month for Cali. Anyone else still waiting

@Vee I noticed mine updates between 10pm-12am
-
I’m wondering the same thing. What time does it update?
-
Just got my refund it was issues 1/31
-
do they update throughout the day or just once a day?
-
I e filed mine on 1/18. It was received on 1/29. I called this morning and was told it will be out of the processing stage on 2/16, and 5 -7 days from there I should receive my refund by dd.
It has never taken this long to get my State refund, so something has definitely changed with how they are doing things this year.

I’ll be receiving it through HRBlocks emerald card. I thought it would’ve came quicker because of it but I guess not smh -
I called and said I received a letter, the response I got from the woman this morning was, “No, there is nothing that we need to verify at this time. It’s processing” womp womp womp lol maybe tomorrow!

Processing since -2/1Says it may take upto a month. Last year my state return was approved in a day or two.
-
I have been processing since 01/24/209 and still 1 month message and processing. I called and got the generic allow 4 weeks before calling. My federal DDD is 2/6/19. I have never received my federal before my state so I have no clue what is going on. I verified and I have no offsets 🤷🏻♀️
-
The one month message is just a standard message. It changed once mine said it was issued. Mine was issued on 1/31/19. I’m still waiting for DD but my guess is it will hit by Wednesday this week, 2/6/19
-
Are you guys calling and asking them to verify your withholding??? Just tell them that TurboTx or whomever you prepared with told you to call and that you needed to verify the proper withholding. By that I mean how you filed single, married filing jointly…etc. the issue I’ve had for 3 years now is that when I file early TT sends my return without the proper withholding. Yes, they will fix it and take their sweet time doing it, but someone like Eva, that helped an few of us on here with the tax compliance phone number I have you is SUPPOSED to fix your refund and process it BUT you have to give them reason to. Like I said, hey, I’ve gotten a letter that told me to call you…. the letter they send out has the tax compliance phone number on it. The phone number that you will have to call. You just have to be super extra polite and super EXTRA “I got a letter to call you” if they catch the lie just say that you got the letter last year and that you have the same problem this year.
They are able to see how many times you call, so make the next call work for you with the proper wording “I received a letter to call you” or “My CPA gave me your number to verify my withholding..” super nice but firmly businesslike. TRY IT. (916) 845-7088 -
It’ll be two weeks tomorrow since I filed and CA was accepted. It’s never taken this long. How frustrating 😩
-
Well I just called again and got Eva he said it’s still processing and said like the irs they just started processing 🙄 Ugh hopefully it’ll finish and change to issued this week 🤞🏽
-
Good morning all,
Just wanted to share that my DD was 1/30 and I received my DD last night 2/03. Good luck everyone. The DD should be hitting your accounts anytime now!
-
Nothing here either. Tomorrow! 🤞🏻
-
@Johnnyj Best wishes to you too Doll. Don’t go spending that money on bills. I read on Forbes the best investment is a vacation. Good for mental health and family memories. Don’t waste the money on the usual stuff. 😁🤙♥️
-
Your welcome and best wishes to you all!
-
good or know @JohnnyJ thanks for updating us!
-
Hula, Yours should be there by tomorrow. I got mine today and i was 1/29

With path act I read that the law is they can’t issue refunds until after 2/15 but I’m not a Pather and I haven’t been following that very closely.

Still processingI called last week and with luck of the draw I got the Eva guy. He couldn’t tell me anything except I’m still processing and it’s not at the point he can push it through.
Will PATH effect state at all? Going to call right at 7am again
-
No DD today. Issued 1/30. 😑

Hi
I’ve been unable to pull info on wmr since yesterday. Today my return updated to processed, but I don’t see an issue date for dd. Anyone have this same situation?
Thanks
-
Filed late on 1/28, Accepted 1/29, issued 2/1 still no DD though.hopefully in the next few days.

I hope so : )

@Johnnyj you too💲

@ Stephanie Z
hi there – my income did increase slightly. Overall just seems really slow for most people this year. Just crazy.
-
@victoria333
Hi, did your income change by any chance? I’m wondering if this is why FTB is taking this long to process mine.
I can’t believe you’ve been waiting for almost a month. That’s crazy. -
@Christine
I got that message and the next day it had changed to Issued. Hopefully that’s the case for you too -
Hello Cali peeps!
My ca refund has been stuck at “processing “ since the 15th…. my federal has been approved with a ddd of 2/6/19… normally I always get my state before federal… this is crazy.
I have tried to call and they all have said it’s processing normally and could take up to 30 days blah blah blah.
Hopefully this week we will see some movement ☀️
-
Hello I filed 1/29 and went to processing on 1/31 with the 1 month message. Now I tried to get a status and it’s now saying “we are unable to provide your refund status with the information you provided”. Anyone know why it would be saying that?
-
I’m still stuck with the one month message. Filed 1/12 and accepted and been processing since 1/14.
-
@susan when was your issued date?
-
Still waiting! Been processing since the 29th. I want my money! I also have the one month message.
-
No updates for me. Anyone still stuck on the one month message that filed before 1/21? I called and they said that there are no notices on my account. It’s just processing. So annoyed!!!
-
@Rose the message is standard for some, I doubt you’re getting audited. If you want to call them see my messages below for the phone number and tips.
-
@cali gurl Hawaii is expensive because it’s worth it but there are cheap ways to go there and shop there. I’d go to the Caribbean if I had a passport but I’ve been too lazy to work on that lol. It’s encouraging that you say it’s cheaper though.😘 have fun in the Caribbean tho girl. We can Cheers! Each other at the swim up bars🥂
-
Hey guys. Filed 1/28. Accepted by ftb on 1/30. Yesterday I checked and it said processing with the one month message. Today it updated to issued on 02/01.
-
@Edward Vargas My bank is already showing pending ACH DD from FTB. Checked when it would released. I know my old bank wouldn’t show me this, but my new one does.
-
Hi guys!
I looked at my ca state refund and got the 1 month message. Just curious because i never got this message before did i get audited? Any help will do! trying to figure out what i need to do.
-
I’m also using part of my refund to take my daughter on a surprise trip to the Caribbean. I looked at Hawaii it seems so expensive. Anyway I hope you get your refund soon.
-
I filed through the CA FTB website on 1/19/19 and was received the same day. When I checked the status on the state’s website, it still says processing. I’m a Pather (fed return) and wasn’t sure if this would delay my state return this year (although it hasn’t in the past and those returns were processed and issued within 10 days or less from filing date). I haven’t had identify issues or any changes from previous years (i.e. same job, address, dependents, etc) so am trying to guesstimate what the issue could be.
-
@mari808 I am still processing too… I updated on the IRS with my deposit set to be sent 2/6/19 so I don’t know what is up with the state refund 😢
-
Im sorry, it says “If we made any adjustments to your return we will notify you by mail”
-
My refund was issued on 1/29 with the message
If your refund was offset you will get a notice in the mail. Does this mean that is was offset? -
I’m still processing 🙄 I’ll call early Monday and see if anyone is in a more helpful mood 🤞🏽
-
Not driving DD 🤨
-
I’m going to the big island, Hawaii this year. I always go to Kauai so this is exciting. If any of y’all have any tips let me know. I go budget style, I drink, snorkel, hike, and drink some more🌺🍹. 😎🤙 I’ll let you know when I get my Driving! I will text you in a few minutes! It was issued 1/30
-
Since we are all here playing the waiting game, what plans do you have for your refund?
-
Refund authorized on Thursday, Jan 31st and as of today the deposit still hasn’t hit my account :-(
-
Oh nevermind you probably got it today duh lol can’t brlieve it’s February already. 🌷
-
@Edward Vargas where did you find your direct deposit date?
-
what does the 1month message mean? I’ve never had that before. Does it mean somethings wrong?

Filed with TT -
@auttib I’m still lurking. There isn’t anything more to say. They can call the number or they can wait. I’m just glad you and I got results. Yes, I expect Sunday or Monday for us. 🥰
-
I was wondering where you went, Hula!
My WMR is still down but I did call to check.. they said it was issued 1/30. Now we wait! I have Chile for banking and they “pay you” two days early. I’m hoping I’ll get it Sunday or Monday!
-
The question is when does YOUR BANK do deposits? Some banks do 2 days earlier than the actual pay day.
The answer is YES they deposit on weekends but it all depends on your financial institution on when you actually will receive your money.
I got my deposit last year on a Sunday morning. -
Wondering if they deposit weekends as well?
-
I efiled with hr block 1/30
Accepted: 1/30
Processing: 1/31
Issued: waiting -
Also, if they told you you are getting something in the mail… guess what? The mail will have that phone number on it and tell you to call them. Soooooo, call them and tell them you got mail that said to call them, am I right? 😉
-
@Asaf call the FTB tax compliance phone number 916-845-7088 right at 7am. Tell them you called to verify your withholding. TurboTax has a software glitch that files incorrect withholding, it’s happened the last two years in a row. It will get fixed by them eventually but you should call to very very polite task them to look at your return. A couple of us got lucky on here, others have not. It took me about 5 calls to get someone to look at it.
Yes, deposits happen on weekends. I got mine last year on a Sunday.
I filed 1/21 accepted (fed) 1/22 (fed)DD 1/30
Cali accepted 1/23 got 1 month message called on 1/30 got someone that corrected it and pushed it through WMR changed to issued 1/30 waiting on DD I expect will happen sun or mon. Filed Married Filing Jointly no kids no investments one retirement plan credit healthcare through job simple return. Good luck all. -
Has anyone received their refund before the system updated? I filed 1/23 and still processing. Any hope for a weekend deposit :)
-
I filed through Credit Karma on 1/25 and just an update that it was accepted today. So they seem to finally have their acts together.
-
@caligurl
Forgive the type
Federal was received 25th of jan and filed same day as state
Through turbo taxAnyone have any clue on what’s going on and how to speed things up ?
-
@Asaf
Let me get this straight….you received your Federal refund on the 15th?
-
proceesing since 01/13
showing 1 month message
have called about 5x times in the last week hearing conflicting info.. I have asked to speak to Eva but they were not sure who he is .one person told me there was a 99.99% chance I should get a notice in the mail but nobody else has confirmed, they all say to give it 1 month since processing date 01/13 to issue a refund and to otherwise await any notice in the mail
they all say there is nothing to do or nothing that could be done to expedite … :(
filed with TT and received federal deposit on/15..
-
I filed on 1/28 and today I called ftb to ask about my status and they said I was radomly selected for further verification and they have up to 35 days. Has anyone delt with this yet ?
-
Anyone accepted on Jan 19, and still stuck on processing…I usually get mine in 5 days :(.. this year I filed on the California site instead of going through a tax preparer..could that be the problem?
-
So I have EITC and children
Filed and Recvd 01/23
Bars say processing with the one month message so my run down was last tax filing year I didn’t get my state until I got my federal everything all came together the year prior to that my state came in the usual 7 days etc so who knows what to expect this year 🤷♀️😩 -
@kristeb
Who do you bank with and 4 business days from what?
-
Issued date of 1/28, received DD 2/1
I had the 1 month message. -
I’ve called every single day for the last 2 weeks with the exact same answer, it’s processing. Nothing I can do but wait. I called this morning and Eva answered. Said I needed to verify a few things because my filing status had changed. I verified everything, is marked verified and it’s set for actual processing now. Eva couldn’t push it through but at least it’s on the right track finally. It’s been frustrating. I knew something was wrong and no one else would help me. Praying it gets processed quickly and we get our money back. My husband had the wrong filling status all year and we’ve overpaid a lot. We just want our money back.
-
Update:
My direct deposit hit this morning.!! Took 4 business days:) -
Just checked FTB and it now shows my refund was authorized on Thursday, January 31st. I bank with BofA when will I received the actual deposit? I hope I don’t have to wait another 7 days 😒.
-
CG, that’s good news! I wonder if they deposit weekends or only business days!
-
Approved 1/29 no DD yet
My mom was approved 1/28 DD today 2/1 -
Update still waiting on DD, issued the 29th. Also I had the one month msg too and Jen you may have had a offset or were your fees deducted from state?
-
Is the one month message normal?
-
What if i received different state tax refund? I was expect $463 but I only got $40 dd.
-
Waiting for issuance. Seems like any time by others experience. How long from the Issued Date has it taken for receipt of direct deposit payment? It says two weeks. But I could use my money yesterday.
-
spoke to ftb today and she said that they aren’t even processing state refund until tomorrow but who knows because it looks like people are already getting them. not sure but I have called about 10x the past 5 days been sitting in limbo 1 month message for 8 days now and last 3 years I had my refund processed and issued between 4-5 days
-
@Cristina – I’m going to give them until Fridau then I’m filing directly with the state. I did that last year with no issues but again figured that Credit Karma would have their act together by now.
-
Filed 1/12
Accepted 1/14.
Processing since 1/14 with one month message. Looked at last year and it was 12 days from the acceptance date to when my refund hit the bank. Looks like this year is taking longer 😭 -
Has anyone else with a issued date of 1/28 received anything yet😖😬
-
Accepted 1/24, Processed 1/25 w/1 month message, Refund authorized 1/28
Has anyone received a DDD yet for this refund date? -
It says no information/cannot log in when I check to see my refund. Also, still no info available on my CA WMR..
-
@hulagirl
No it’s for everyone that filed. That’s the bank that issues the refunds. They take the fees out then distribute the funds. It took 3 days before it showed any information for mine. Here is the link. -
@RunMeMyMoney – Same here. Credit Karma. I filed 01/21. Fed got accepted. Nothing on state. When I check state website, it states “we are unable to provide your refund status using the information you provided”
-
@kristin is that republic bank for everyone or just for republic bank customers? You got a link?
-
Yes I did
-
@JuicyJ Did you have the one month message?
-
Update
Filed 1/24
Accepted and processing 1/30
Issued1/31
It updates after 10 pm
Just waiting on dd -
Hello everyone my update of the day I called the Franchise Tax Board verification line talk to a woman that was nice but she told me that it’s still processing and the day that I filed on on the 23rd happened to be the day that they were affected with the government shutdown until off 30 days for a refund or a piece of paper to call them with more info but besides that she had no other information and couldn’t help me in any other way I wonder if this has something to do with the H&R Blocks after that I got caught up in
-
@mari808
I dealt with the same thing last year I have self employment and dependents. I had to fax everything to them and fax proof that they are my kid and they live with me. Maybe I should have sent pictures of the strech marks. Lol I got my refund finally approved in April. -
I was still told to wait the 30 days. She kept saying I can’t get into it yet to see. Whatever that means.
-
Hi all! I have another tid bit of helpful information. After your return has shown it’s been issued you can then start obsessing and going onto republic bank website and seeing if they have issued it. I just checked and it shows my state was sent to my bank account today :)
-
@auttib no don’t call. You’ll have an update coming soon. I’m sure yours will be approved too.
-
Congrats @Misscare !
Yeah peeps, if you’ve had a processing message that suddenly disappears, it’s likely you are updating! -
My WMR has been blank the last few hours. “Can’t fond your information”
Oops! Should I call?
-
@Hulagirl you were right!! It’s Issued and now says “We authorized your refund on Wednesday Jan 30 please allow 10 business for direct deposit…” yay!! I’ll let y’all know when it’s hit the bank!
-
Filed and accepted the 17th and have been processing ever since. 😣
-
No update for me. Still processing
-
Submitted my return night of 1/27
Received confirmation 1/28
Return processed and refund issued 1/30
Will update with DD time when I receive it -
UPDATED TO ISSUED AT 11pm!! I Filed 1/21 with TurboTax Accepted 1/23 with please allow 1 month for processing message. Issued 1/30.
The last two years in a row I’ve had to call to verify my withholding (married filing jointly) due to a TT software glitch that happens when you file early. It doesn’t transmit your correct withholding so, I posted the FTB tax compliance phone number: (916) 845-7088 which is the number that is printed on the paperwork that they EVENTUALLY will mail you in a couple months….. The paperwork just says call this number.
So I suggest you guys at least TRY to call the number.
This year they weren’t as helpful as previous years so, I had to call approximately 5 times before I got someone that actually processed my return while I was on the phone with them. I called exactly at 7am when the call center opens and got a very nice man that said OK I think I can process this right now. He verified my identity, my withholding and he clicked around and pushed it through in about 5 minutes.
If you call, tell them you received a letter and you need to verify your withholding (like you did last year 😉) and be extremely nice to them and ask them to please verify your withholding. Or trust me, you’ll be sitting around waiting FOREVER for some magic to happen and for that snail mail to come with this exact phone number asking you to call.
Mine is a simple return. one 401k contribution credit, married no kids, no nothing. Lol.
Anyway good luck. I hope this helps a few more people this year. @AuttiB I hope you updated as well dear.❤️🥰❤️ -
Hi everyone,
I filed 1/27. The wmr says; it’s processing, and we received your return on 1/27. Then the standard 1month info. It updated to that on Monday morning around 11am.
-
Has anyone filed and been accepted for their CA state refund with Credit Karma? I filed both Federal and State with them and Federal was accepted on Monday. Nothing yet for state.
I’m concerned because I did this with them two years ago and state was never filed for some reason but I figured they would have their act together by now.
-
@Misscare it might mean you’re updating 🤞🏽
@johnnyj very helpful info, appreciate you
@Candigurl I actually got my deposit last year on a Sunday I think it just depends on how your bank works (like get your money 2 days before etc) I think they deposit about every 2 days -
Does anyone know if they deposit on a certain day or do they deposit Monday thru Saturday?
-
Also i dont know if it helps anyone, but the website is a day behind. I didnt see sent until today but the site says approved dated as of yesterday.
-
Hi y’all I filed the 24 then was accepted the 28th from what my hr block app said it wasn’t until yesterday I checked online and it finally stated that it was processing then today I logged on and it says now “We are unable to provide your refund status online…” basically back to the beginning. What could this mean?
-
Thank You!!
-
5-6 days for DD
-
Accepted the 24th
Processed the 26th
Approved the 29thAny idea how long it takes for DD
-
Filed CA 1/24 ftb accepted 1/28 and ftb didn’t update bars till 1/29 processing now just waiting on issued. Cali is lagging this year
-
I’ve been processing since the 23rd. If I were you I’d call tomorrow at 7am like I wrote below👇But I wish you luck and make sure you update us😁
-
once its processing ive seen ppl get theirs within 5-7 business days so im hoping for Thursday or Friday of next week. not counting on it…just hoping :)
-
@CAmom well at least you are in the lineup and and not floating around somewheres lol
-
Oh, and yes I do have the one month message lol
-
Update….i just checked FTB again and now it says its processing!!!
Filed 28th
Accepted 29th
Processing as of 6:15pm ish 30th
Filed with TT -
I filed on 01/23/2019 and it didn’t update until 01/26/2019 with a one month message. I called today and they stated it was still processing. Who knows it’s California. They are quick to take my money and slow to return it :)
-
State says they update once a day. I’ve seen the update time appears to be around 10pm.
-
@CAmom what tax preparer did you use? I’ve seen some messages that Jackson Hewitt didn’t send them right. I used TurboTax and for two years in a row they sent it without the proper withholding aka a software glitch they never fixed. If I were you I’d call 916-845-7088 right at 7am and say you’re calling to verify some information which you had to do last year too. See what they say. Be overly polite, they are cranky sometimes.
-
AuttiB, sorry it was an accident lol
I filed on the 28th accepted on the 29th. Its probably just too early. I just basically want to know if this is the standard message before updating and how often does state update. -
Um, yeah… I don’t want to scare anyone but if you call 800-852-5711 the Cali WMR phone line it says processing time right now is 3-4 months.
-
I submitted our California state tax return through CalFile on 1/27/19. We filed a very simple tax return, just wages with standard deductions and its still processing. How long is processing taking on average? Anyone know?
-
No need to post the long message twice- we got you! :)
When did you file?
-

-
Submitted mine 01/21. Checked 01/25-01/30 and it says no record of it
-
I filed 1/10
Approved 1/12 and still no refund. I called yesterday and a rep named Johnny was shot and ride, sounded like he gave me a bunch or bs generic information “there is a manual review on your refund and you will have to wait 45 business days until we issue anything or a letter is sent out to you”. I don’t owe anyone, I’ve always filed early January and have never had this issue, nothing on my return has changed except maybe a decrease in income because I work less hours.
I called this morning again and spoke to a rep Dianne. She was super helpful, she said there’s no issues w my refund that she can see other than it just being a longer processing for my refund. She said it was there and they received it since the 10th and I should get my refund on or before February 14th. -
@AuttiB she said that the WMR tool does not update automatically, and that there were no further requirements from me, and to wait until my 30 days is up before I try to call bank again. I was like 😎👈🏽Shade…”okaaaaaaaay, 🎶have a nice day🎶☀️🌈” lololololol Don’t worry we will probably update around 10pm like everyone else has. I’m pretty confident that the guy I spoke to submitted it correctly. I could hear him typing and muttering under his breath to coworker “it’s ok I don’t mind” He told me “it’s a done deal and to expect my refund in 2 weeks but probably sooner” the way he said done deal confidently is why I believe him.
-
@HulaGirl what did the rude person say about it updating? Just curious!
-
@mari808 any update?
-
I guess @auttib and myself got lucky today. My advice is to try and call right at 7am before they get cranky and be overly sweet on the call because I did call back to ask about why my WMR didn’t update and that lady was rudeAF. Lol. I think betweeb 7am-8am (and I’m not trying to be rude or insensitive here) the calls go to a call center not located in the US the people are more willing to help which from what I can gather they’ve been told not to…if that makes sense.
-
I called that number and both times I got the 30 day wait. @hulagirl
-
For my State Taxes
Filed 1/21
Accepted 1/23
Issued 1/24
Received dd today 1/30 -
Are you folks calling the 916 number that HulaGirl posted earlier? That’s the one where she and I were helped.
-
The guy I just spoke to said he doesn’t see anything wrong and to wait. I’m so darn confused. I’m not longer going to accept cash for jobs anymore, cash app only ugh.
-
Called to have a pin sent to me and the lady Sue was so sweet and insisted I talk to them again regarding my return lol so here I am on hold. Hopefully I won’t get the standard 30 day bull crap again 🙄
-
@Mari808 I pushed 1. I’d definitely fax your info. I had the same problem with FTB. The lady told me to create a new account and wait for a new pin.
-
@hulagirl
I called they said everything looks fine they are just behind since the shutdown and to allow the 1 month :( guess I’m waiting it out -
I had a ftb last year I remember they sent me a pin and everything but I can’t remember my login and when I click forgot username it says I put in the wrong info 🤷🏽♀️ The lady didn’t say I was being audited she said it was just a precaution I could take to move this along. Unless she flagged it while she was looking it over ☹️ Which number did you push when you called? I think I push 2.
-
Mine has not updated. Hopefully soon!
-
@Mari808 did you register an FTB account? You should be able to see any letters or plans of action you need to take on there. When you guys call tell them that you had to call last year to verify something and that you are calling to verify something. Lol. Seriously though all they have to do is verify it’s you and punch a couple buttons.
-
Hello, i just called FTB and they said they are still processing my taxes, they said it could not be pushed through but they are working on it. wait up until a month
-
I just called and I was told I still have to wait the 30 days and that it may be taking so long becyI was self employed part of the year. Which i sont inderstand because I’ve had the same side business for the last 3 years. I clean homes and deal with cash. She said she could see that I called last week and also I could fax proof of my income if I wanted to speed things along. This is a nightmare 😭 I worked my normal job as well but we get paid weekly and I think because of that and the weekly amount I didn’t have any state tax taken out.
-
I filed on the 24th it was accepted on the 24th and said issued on the 28th.Still have not got it yet.I was beginning to think the held it for some reason I have no leans or owe nothing as far as I know.I bank with plumas bank and they are pretty quick to let things through.I just have no idea how long it usually takes once it says issued.
-
Well still processing and I called told me to continue to wait the 30 days. 1/19
-
@Jenn they are are probably updating. I’d wait a few and see if you don’t have an update.
-
Mine was filed last Thursday the 24th, accepted yesterday (even tho the message said it was received the 24th) and now today, it says there is no record of my filing? Common? Weird? I don’t wanna be a pest, should I call? Thanks in advance 😃
-
@auttib did yours update on Where’s my refund? Mine did not.
-
@Auttib you are a sweetheart. Happy to be of help to you. My WMR still hasn’t updated so let’s hope for that today lol. Have your best year💞
-
I called that number- got a super nice lady who is pulling my return to look it over and process. I had self employment income last year but not this year so they weren’t touching it.
She just processed it and approved me for a DDD!!!! ❤️
Thank you SO MUCH. I’m a single mama with four kids and hurting pretty bad so having this pushed through is a huge helps. I appreciate your post more than you know.
-
@Stephanie Z read my post 👇
-
@mari808 you too read my post! 🥳👇
-
@tara OMG CALL 916-845-7088 RIGHT NOW ask for Eva. It’s a dude. He just pushed mine thru. He said I filed early and all the withholding wasn’t in the right spot. Same sheet as last year. Shhhh! Prolly shouldn’t have posted this but y’all be super nice to Eva mkay?
-

Accepted 1/23
Issued 1/25
Received dd today 1/30 -
yes I have had 1 month message since the 24th. absolutely no movement I have called a few times to see if I would get different answers because the last time it took this long they had to verify identity and they didnt send notice I had waited about 7 days and called and he said oh ok so I can do verify and then it will be sent through after I got off the phone it updated and issued by next day. I keep calling to find out if that is what is going to happen again and they just keep saying no looks good just wait a month ugh
-
No movement on mine either. Filed 1/21, no offsets, one month message.
-
@tara same here. Do you have 1 month message? Have you called them? I’m going to light them up at 7am. I mean seriously wtf. I got my federal DD today. I’ve never gotten federal before state. So mad right now.
-
no update for me either. accepted on 22 and absolutely no movement since. so frustrating as I usually have it with 5 days wtf california
-
Woke up to no update as usual for me. Sent 1/21 accepted 1/23 still processing with 1 month message 😭😭😭
-
Woke up to my DD hitting my bank. Authorized 1/24!
-
My Refund was approved and issued on 1/24/2019, As of Today 1/29/2019 no direct deposit yet, My guess was Tomorrow i should have it hopefully. Will update as soon as it arrives

-
My deposit just hit at 10 pm
Filed 1/23

-
I filed on the 19th, accepting and processed on the 23rd and I received my refund in my bank account (capital one) at 6am today the 29th! A total of 4 buisness days as usual.
-
Thanks for all the updates everyone. It’s comforting to read into a pattern here. I’m feeling less violated by Cali lololololol still waiting no updates. Accepted 1/23 1 month message.
-
So apparently ftb updates all throughout the day.
filed with tt on 24th
Approved for fed/state on 28th
Usually once I get the approval, i can track on ftb site almost immediately- not this year! Also, I’ve always gotten my state deposited to bank acct within 5 days of filing and it doesn’t seem like that’s gonna the case this year either.Anyways, All day yesterday and most of today, I kept getting a message that ftb had no record of my return even though I got the approval email from tt.
Checked several times yesterday and today and it finally updated around 430 saying approved with the 1 month message.
-
My Refund was approved and issued on 1/24/2019, As of Today 1/29/2019 no direct deposit yet, My guess was Tomorrow i should have it hopefully. Will update as soon as it arrives.
-
I have the generic 1 month message
-
I filed mine 1/23,
Accepted the same day
California issued 1/24
Still waiting 😐 -
@Adam d when was yours sent out?
-
@pearlm
I filed way back on 1/12, but my tax person didn’t even submit my return until Monday, 1/28 when the IRS officially started accepting them. Even today when I check FTB website I’m still getting the “unable to provide any info” message. If I’m still getting this message on Friday I think I will call in.
-
I filed 1/28 and was accepted the same day. Today is the 29th, so I tried to check it on the ca state website and it says they are unable to provide me any info on my refund and to check next day. Is that normal? It’s like I didn’t file.
-
CA state deposited into account today1/29/2019 for 508$. I use safe credit union. Last year’s was in next day after official open as well. They are being issued so if you have not received your return but have been accepted im pretty sure it will deposit in the next few days barring no issues with your return of course. Give the tax people some time before calling a bunch.
-
@auttib what does the message say on your processing page? Does it say please allow 1 month?
-
Filed 1/22, accepted and processing 1/24.. they say everything is fine just waiting for it to finish processing. I was hoping for a DDD today.
-
Well they said I don’t owe anything and nothing is wrong with my return. I just have to wait ☹️☹️
-
Thank you @kristin appreciate your updates very much. I’m sure you’re helping a lot of lurkers too so you did a good deed today. ❤️
-
@mari808 I think waiting for magic is just dumb because I know last year, like you, I had to call and verify something and they pushed it through immediately but every time I call they say they are looking at it and there is nothing wrong, I don’t owe anyone anything etc etc. I feel bad for those employees but come the f on man. Just push the approved button already. Omg. I hate unfinished business. It makes me feel irresponsible. My refund is only $345 but having to wait for it to be approved is THE WORST.
-
@HulaGirl
I filed on 1/18 through tax act and it was accepted on 1/22 even though when I logged into FTB says they received it on 1/18 and just now updated to issued 1/28. I’m sure yours will update this week. And yes I had the one month message. -
I’m really trying to fight the urge to call and harass some workers lol I’m trying to give it til Friday, if nothing I’m blowing their lines up. Jen said she updated at around 10pm last night and last year after I called in and they pushed it through I updated within a couple hours and that was early afternoon.
-
Expect it Thursday or Friday. It usually takes 4-5 business days
-
No direct deposit today. Was sent friday
-
@mari808 girl, we are in it to win it. I wish I knew when state updates. Is it every day all day, certain days, one night a week? This waiting is so painful ughhhhhhhhhh🤯
-
Still processing 😭💔
-
-
Still no DD. Got authorized last Thursday 1/24.
-
@mar808 any updates?
-
Thank you @Jen for updating us makes me a little less cuckoo 🤪
-
@kristin CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 you had the 1 month message? Can y’all tell us when you filed and got accepted and what your message was please…. too lazy to read back…
Anyhoos no update for me. Filed 1/21 accepted 1/23 stuck in processing now with please allow 1 month message. My federal was accepted 1/21 with a DDD of 1/30, still waiting on that too. -
Well mine updated to issued 1/28 :)
-
@mari808 i filed 01/18 with TT got accepted on 23rd. Got the 2nd bar and 1month message thing on the 24h but for some reason since saturday morning i cant track it anymore saying they cant provide status blah blah … and then just today around 10pm i was able to track it again and it was already on the 3rd bar which is issued and refund authotized today mondau Jan 28.
-
@Jen
When did you file and when were you accepted?
-
Update on mine: finally got to tracked it again and the status is now issued. Refund was authorized today Monday January 28.
-
Still waiting here too bud! Hang in there! I bet we will both get the same DDD since we both re-filed after the HR Block snafu.
-
@Tammy I just typed a lengthy reply all about my ocd but of course it got deleted. Wait for it? LOlolololol omg. Like can they just give me the bad news already or update me already..
…. ☹️ -
Is anyone here had 2 bars on CA state refund status and suddenly can’t track it anymore? Saying they can’t provide the status with the information you entered?
-
Still waiting 👀👀please update soon..
-
Mines still processing they said I have to wait it out for approval but said nothing appears wrong. Still waiting like many others
-
Hello all I filed 1/23 both federal and state.
Federal received 1/23 but state has no record of me filing as of yet my tax preparer said not to worry that they’re just not showing but that they’ve been sent smdh because a few on here already have ddd -
Hi All,
I have updates. I spoke to a rep from FTB who was extremely helpful.
So the rep informed me that there were delays in processing returns this year. That’s one. With mine particularly, they have to wait until my employer submits my w2. I wasn’t aware that the employers would send a copy of the w2’s to the Franchise Tax Board. I thought they went based on your federal return. Apparently, my employer hasn’t submitted a copy which is the reason why they haven’t processed my return. This is something to consider for those of you who haven’t received your DD yet. I received my w2 from my employer 2 weeks ago but they haven’t submitted the info to FTB which is really annoying. Hope this helps some of you. -
Yes people I called two more times and chatted once all they are saying is it’s going to take up to 4 weeks this year. Ugh ugh UGH. I’m side eying you FTB 👀
Please update this thread if you’re sitting in processing with the 1 month message, I’m here for it. -
Steve same except issued 1/25. Looks like it takes 4 to 5 days after issued to be dd
-
My California State shows Received / Processing /& Now Issued, was Authorized Thursday Jan 24th. It shows it’s been issued? if issued then why is it not in my bank? is that normal?
-
@HulaGirl
I called this morning and had a very nice man who looked mine up and said he shows now offsets or need for extra verification. That it’s still processing so I’m going to stay hopeful. Every year when I have called they tell me that I need extra verification. -
So I submitted mine with HR block, and I filled with the ” child income tax ” so hr block said they cant submit it till 2/15 , and then the fed went e-files quick but the state said that its ready to file, when I push file the state it says ive already submitted it ,but hr block isn’t update their site, I called them and they said that they might be having technical glitches,
is this normal ? , and every one that has gotten their return any one claim children?
-
So I’ve been reading a lot and I really do believe it is just what I said. A lot of different forms are being released this week some not being released until 1/31. With the shut down there’s been a delay because they have to approve those forms specifically for tax softwares like TurboTax, Credit Karma, etc. so I think we should all be pushed through by Friday, maybe Monday the latest.
-
I filed last Thursday (1/24) night with HR BLOCK, my fed return was accepted the next morning (Friday 1/25) my federal return was accepted, but I’m still waiting on Cali to accept? Normal?
Thanks.
-
Called again and spoke to someone much more helpful who said he could see that my return was being worked on and that I should *hopefully* see it within the week. FINGERS CROSSED!
-
Filed 1/17 (with Turbotax)
Accepted 1/23
No DDD , still processing with 1-month message
Spoke to an agent today who said it would be 2 weeks after the 23rd for processing :(
Anyone else here this?
Hopefully those of us with a 1/23 accepted date will get ours soon!! -
@Dandi see, that’s the thing. When I filed it said California could not transmit since the forms weren’t ready but I got accepted anyway. Then I got an email 2 days later my firms were ready. I called TurboTax and they said not to worry if they already accepted them.
@Mari808 I called Friday and today. Still nothing.
I think I’ll chat up TurboTax and ask about that form email but from what I read online it’s not needed. Who knows… -
I got my refund last week. Filed early with Turbo Tax and as soon as the forms were available it was accepted, processed, and approved within 2 days.
Hang in there!!
-
Hey guys, no updates on mine either. I filed 1/21, accepted 1/23, and still have the one month message. Called and no offsets. I have never waited this long for my state. I got a little crazy and even checked my bank statements. I get it in less than 7 days. My income changed a lot last year as I didn’t work for 5 months. I really hope that’s the reason. Calling again today just to make sure, but this is ridiculous. What’s going on with CA FTB!
-
Did you call today or Friday? Also, keep checking. I remember last year my status changed mid day. I called them to push it through but at least we know it doesn’t only update overnight.
-
@Mari808 ok good to know it’s not just TurboTax at least. I don’t have the kid or eitc credits. I got one break on my 401k savings plan but honestly, I already have a federal DDD 1/30 this state thing is making me 🤬
-
I used Credit Karma
-
There’s too many of us for it to be something wrong. Honestly like i said before i think they just don’t have the forms they need to process through or maybe the ones with EIC have to wait or something like that idk 🤷🏽♀️
-
Did all of you with the 1 month message file with TurboTax?
-
@kristin I still think something is wrong. They just aren’t as helpful this year. I had to verify something last year with the 3 month message. I posted the compliance number under @herbs on another thread. This year when you call they just say “if somethings wrong we will mail you” they did attach a note to my return to perhaps push it through though, ask them to do that at least.
-
@hulagirl
That’s good news then I guess. Actually the past two years I’ve had to call in and provide additional information, but I had the 3 month message so maybe all is well -
Accepted:1/24
refund issued/authorized : 1/24
DD : still waitingHopefully within the next two days
-
Mine has not updated. I called. I chatted. I called a different number. Basically, if you can, log into FTB and see if they sent you a letter. They said if something is up they will send you a letter and the quickest way to see that letter is with your FTB account. I’m waiting for my pin in the mail. All 3 of the people I spoke to today said there was nothing wrong with my account and that it’s still processing. One lady said that it does not mean anything is wrong and to not expect “clockwork” omg lololololol. Ok lady.
-
@tammy has yours updated to issued yet? Mine still shows the one month message :(
-
UPDATE
Filed 1/21 accepted 1/23 approved 1/24 DD’d 1/28
-
@tammy my name is Tammy too. I dunno I’m trying to figure this out today no matter how much I have to research, how many forums I have to visit, or how many times I gotta call the FTB. People are getting their refunds fast, I’m thinking we must owe something???
-
What is the deal with the 1 month message filed the 17th still processing as of the 19th was told by a rep that message is standard.
-
@jan hopefully that means they were updating or processing your refund. I did not update overnight still sitting with the 1 month message. Processing(2bars) since 1/23. Anyone with 1 month message get a DDD or figure this out yet?
-
wow the fastest turnaround time ever for us.
filed 1/23
accepted 1/24
refund issued 1/25married filed jointly w2’s
eic child tax credit -
Hi! Im having a problem with checking the status of ca state refund. I filed 01/18 and processed 01/22 with 1month thing status. Last friday I can still track my refund but since yesterday morning up to now, i cant track it anymore saying they cant provide the status with the informations i provided. Im 100% sure i am entering the correct information.
-
Sorry typing in bed with a kitty lol
-
Thank you @stephanie z keep us informed. Every time I call they tell me it’s the generic message but she also told me if they need anything from me they’ll may me. So whic is it? Omg..,
-
Hey guys,
I have the one month message, so I called and checked if I had any offsets and the representative I spoke with said I did not. If I don’t get it this week, for sure something is wrong. Will post an update soon. Also, the last few years I noticed the state would approve my refund on Sunday – overnight. Hoping it happens again this year.
-
I received my refund in 5 days from when I filed. In my experience, the last two years when I got the 1 month waiting message, I had an offset. Not saying it’s that situation for ALL, just mine. Hopefully you all get your refunds soon!😁
-
Ok so I read back more of the messages. Some already got there DDD I have a sinking feeling this 1 month message ain’t good. I owe the library 4.20 lololololol that’s the only thing I can think of.
-
Hoping it’s true what you’re hoping too lol @mari808 I got a trip to Hawaii to pay for. It would be helpful if someone would tells us if they have a different message other than wait 1 month. ?????
-
Filed/Received 1/24
Processing 1/26 with 1 month review…
Is this a generic message? -
I hope! I had a bad experience last year, and it took 3 weeks for the state to even acknowledge my return on their WMR. I just want a smooth refund this year!
-
@auttib I think if we change to issued tomorrow then we should expect a DD Thur/Fri
-
Refiled state on 1/22, processing 1/24, 1month message.. any hope for a DD by the end of the week? Maybe?
-
@hula girl hoping for that too! Filed my state taxes 1/21.
-
I think we’ll change to ‘issued’ tomorrow 🤞🏽
-
I still have the please wait 1 month message. Filed 1/21 accepted 1/23. Federal DDD 1/30. Anyone with the wait 1 month message get a DDD?
-
@Steve when did you file?
-
I filed mine 1/21 and still shows processing. I have the one month message as well. The last few years it only took 5-7days to hit my bank. Hoping to get it this week, but it seems they are taking longer to process than normal.
-
Filed 1/21 authorized 1/23. Still no DD
-
Do they make deposits on sundays?
-
UPDATE:
Filed 1/21 w TaxAct
Issued 1/22
DD 1/26 at midnight!!Pretty stoked. Looks like 4-5 business days should be the norm for most people, depending on your bank. Mine is BofA.
-
@Steve
You should get it next Thursday the latest. Going off previous years it takes 4-5 business days from issuing date.
-
No Deposit yet*********
We authorized your refund on Thursday, January 24, 2019.
Please allow:
10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or
25 business days to receive your refund by check.
If we made any adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
-
Mine shows Issued on 1/25/2019 but no DD yet. Only been 2 days hopefully soon
-
@mari808
I have the same one month message as well. Was accepted on the 18 and still shows processing. Hoping that is just the normal message. -
I filed on TT with child credits and all was accepted and accepted on 1/24 still no refund. But last year I got it in 5 days direct deposit so hoping for it by this Sunday but my message says 10 days if I e-filed. No biggie.
-
I just noticed the 1 month message on my processing. Can’t remember, is that an automatic message?
“We are processing your return at this time. Please allow 1 month from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.”
-
I filed 1/11- Cali and fed received on 1/17 still no dd or updates. Does Cali hold if you have EITC until fed?
-
Filed on 1/19 and listed as received same day. No further activity listed since. Hopefully, there will be an update by this weekend.
-
when does ftb update?
-
Filed state tax on the 17th accepted on the 19th still processing
-
Cali Gurl,
they are processing now. i got notice from the federal that they received my return and it is processing, and California has mine and is processing should get approved and refund sent by tomorrow or Monday. that date of the 28th is a guide line that they can use to delay finishing returns
-
I’m so pisssssed right now! I filed on 1/12 and the FTB still isn’t showing records of my return, so I decided to reach out to my tax preparer/accountant. He just told me that neither my Federal or State has been submitted because neither will be accepted until 1/28. Shouldn’t he know that state has nothing to do with federal!! Looks like I will be waiting another 2 weeks before I even receive my state refund 🤬🤬😡
-
Update: received my direct deposit this morning
Filed through turbo tax 1/10
Accepted 1/15
Issued 1/17 -
@caligurl
I read your comment wrong.. so your saying they haven’t received your return ? Who did you file with ? -
@caligurl maybe you will get it tomorrow since Monday was a holiday technically. I honestly didn’t expect it today
-
Filed: 1/12
Accepted: 1/14Still says processing. seeing a few people who have dates similar to mine or after who already got issued their state refund. I used taxact. Wondering if it’ll come soon.
-
I filed direct with the FTB this morning and they received it right away, not going to use h and r block any more after this year.
-
Filed 1/21 and Issued 1/22. Expecting my direct deposit by the end of the month. TaxAct.
-
Just curious the people who’s return hasn’t been accepted yet what forms did you file? Just a 1040 or something else like a Sched C? If you’re self employed I know that the Sched C forms aren’t ready for state yet and that’s what the delay is.
-
I was accept the 15th and money sent out the 17th. Still waiting for it to hit my account
-
@diana I filed a day before you on 1/12 and my return isn’t even showing in the system. Ugh 😤
I was hoping to get my State this week as a few people on here have received their state refund, all of which were filed after mine ☹️
-
Correction to my previous post in a simplified version
Filed: 01/13
Accepted:01/14
Issued:01/16
Direct deposited :01/23Filed with turbo tax with EIC..
Mind you MOnday was Martin Luther king day which is considered a holiday
-
So I filed on Jan 13, it was accepted on Jan 14 .. status changed to issued on Jan 16.. and today Jan 23rd if was direct deposited into my account.. I filed with turbo tax and I do have EIC
-
No, the FTB has no record and said my taxes were not submitted. I went ahead and filed through the FTB and got an automatic acceptance email with a confirmation number.
-
For those of you saying your state hasn’t been accepted yet might be because some of your forms aren’t ready yet. I already filed but my state hasn’t been accepted yet because all of my forms aren’t ready yet. Hope that helps 😊
-
@AUTTIB i just called the state they have no record of my return still :(
they told me to call H and R block and have them resubmit the taxes. so im going to call again, i spent over 5 hours on the phone with them last week. Did the state show record of your taxes? -
Call the FTB. The kind woman I spoke to said they did not get any hRBlock state returns until 1/19, any submitted before that we’re not transmitted, with the exception of a very select few.
-
has anyone gotten any info from H and R block about there issue?
-
@TK1019 I’m in the same boat. I files before you on 1/12 and both systems say they don’t show my return. I didn’t file through turbo tax though. It’s very frustrating…..
-
my federal and state were filed 1/14 and federal was accepted on 1/15 still doesnt show state recieved they say they have no return filed for me??? wtf is going on with turbo tax. anyone else having issues getting state through the system?
-
@Cali Gurl
My IRS was accepted on 1/15 or 1/16 I believe. It wasn’t fast like it usually is.
-
Well seems h and r block has issues with there system doesn’t it. Hope they get it resolved for us all
-
@auttib I also filed on 1/12 and neither the FTB or the IRS website have a record of my return. Not sure what is going :-(
-
Filed 1/12. Still not accepted. Same thing happened last year when I used HRBlock. I’m going to have to call the state on Tuesday.
-
Website says CA intercepted $0.00 and it was issued but no issue date. Any ideas on what’s going on.
-
@Mike: I hope you get some answers soon. I filed with Taxslayer for the second year in a row and they have been good. I haven’t used HR for about 10 years, they always charged too much.
-
@Cali Gurl: I filed with Taxslayer. I couldn’t believe it either. I logged into my bank account to check something else and I seen a deposit from Franchise Tax Board, I was like wtf? Lol. Cali is on it!😁 Hope you get yours soon too.😊
-
I filled on 1/15/19 and was accepted the same day. The state website says it was issued on 1/16/19 but I haven’t received my deposit in my account yet.
-
r8rflores they state says they have no record of my return. This happened last year and they had to resubmit for me to get it processed. H and r keeps giving me different answers. They started a case for they hold then when I call back they have no record of case and say I need to call the state it’s there issue not h and r blocks
-
@r8rflores Did you file with HR Block? I filed a day before you did. Crazy how you got your state back so quick. I guess California is on it this year.
-
Filed 1/13/19, accepted 1/14/19, approved 1/15/19, hit my account last night. Be patient it’s coming.😁
-
Filed on the tenth five days this week calling h and r block and finally told they have a hold on processing my taxes because of the 28th fed deadline
-
Filed my taxes on the Jan 11th it was accepted on the 14th. My ca refund status was updated to issued on the 16th and has not yet him my account.. I have it set up for direct deposit
-
Filed 1/10 through TT
Accepted 1/15
site says refund issued 1/17
nothing in account as of yet -
We filed with Turbo Tax on 1/8. Ca refund was accepted, processed, and issued on 1/15. It’s 1/18 and still nothing in our bank account. Hoping it’ll be here sometime today.
-
Nice still no update on mone :(
-
Mine just updated to issued! Hopefully it hits by weekend but more than likely next week
-
cool gives me hope. i spent an hour on the phone with h and r block to get them to re submit the taxes, they finally at 45 min in they said they found a error on there side with processing and will put it through again, if i do not see anything by tomorrow im going to keep calling them.
glad you guys are getting movement gives me and who ever else hope. -
My Cali state taxes were accepted the 1/15 and 1/16 showed that refund was received, processed and issued 1/16 and should expect it as usual. Their site says direct deposit takes up to 10 days but I seem to remember it coming a lot sooner.

Mike, I just called because I was getting an error msg on both state and federal wmr. No help from IRS but did get a service rep from Cali and they said all went through and approved but recent hasn’t been scheduled yet and to expect my DD within the next 2-3 weeks. Last year similar situation and I received it on the 25th of January
-
Ok i filed with h and r block, they said it went through and state has no record of it, they tried to tell me that california has not started to process returns yet but i called the state and the woman had no record of my taxes and said it would be processed, do you have a date for your Ca refund.
-
Mike, yes it was accepted already. I filed through TT my federal was accepted a day earlier than the state. Now its updated to the processing tab on CA ftb wmr
-
Hi Donny, I filed on the 10th and got nothing. Did your state get accepted
-
Filed 1/4/19 accepted 1/14/19 any idea how long of avg wait before DD
-
Sent in a paper form from overseas, due to have a large refund direct deposited to BofA. Sent on 14 April, logged in as received by FTB 30 April. May 31 (dated) paper letter sent saying there had been an error (in my favor) on the form, & that they were sending a check. Letter arrived 6 June. Check arrived 8 June and now has to be sent back to the USA to deposit to BofA. What in the world? This was supposed to be a direct-deposit refund!
-
916-845-7088, then choose option 2, then choose option 1, finally choose option 0
Worked for me and they said you will receive your refund in 2-3 weeks.
Very nice person. -
Update: I just called the 9168457088 number I found on this site. And they received everything and processed it over the phone. She said direct deposit takes 2-4 weeks but more like 2. Thank you for the helpful information here.
-
Filed last week of Jan. Received federal refund promptly. Now May 14th and state is still processing. I sent in extra paperwork to verify our identies ect. Say 2 months from date those papers were sent which would be the 23rd of this month. So we’ll see. Really ridiculous since I filed last year and my son was on that tax return to and we haven’t moved or anything.
-
If my refund status says “Issued,” does that mean my return was accepted as submitted and I should expect the refund indicated on my return? I did my taxes myself and I’m sure I did them accurately, but just nervous. I filled pin 4/17, It moved to issued on Friday, 4/27.
-
Filed thru Jackson HEWITT online, I was excepted on 4/4/2018 from state and fed. My state refund says issued on 4/9/2018 but Republic Bank has no record of my social security number. Have been just trying run around. No one can help me.
-
Same here, Heidi, I e-filed my return on 2/22/18, and as of today, it’s still in the RECEIVED mode on my Calif. FTB account. I’ve been using the secure chat feature and have been told that it still needs to get processed and there’s no indication of any errors on my return. Then on 3/26/18, via chat again, the FTB rep said since it’s been over four weeks, he’ll request priory processing, but it’s still stuck in the RECEIVED mode when I last checked today….so frustrating!
-
I e-filed my State income tax return in late February. It was accepted immediately and has been in processing ever since (April 11). No word from anyone and trying to reach them via phone (the 916 number) is impossible. I guess we all have to be patient until the end of April.
-
My state was issued on February 27 I opted for a direct deposit but I haven’t received it yet as of today 3/21/18 should I be worried I know all my banking information is correct because I already received my irs taxes ….who else is still waiting for there money state is taking forever
-
Number I listed can also be found at the CA State website. I was able to find it from the TurboTax message boards and people were extremely successful getting their refunds released using that number (916-845-7088). It’s a different rep from the customer service number and looks like they have more access.
-
Hey everyone, I had he same issues as some of you. I filed Feb 11 2018 and received by DD from Federal. State was taking a long time and had to call after waiting a month. Called rep and said to wait 2-3 months from filing for it to finish. Waited a week or so again until I found this number 916-845-7088 ( pressed option 2 and then 3) and was able to speak with a rep. She said that I had to verify and was able to do it over the phone. Needed DL, social , and current/previous address. She was able to release it, and checked the ca tax board website status and it finally says released! hope this helps. Good luck.
-
Filed federal and state via Turbotax on Feb 27, 2018.
Received acceptance notification that night for both.IRS took underpaid money on March 1 (efficient!).
Checked “Where’s my refund?” on March 4 and it said “PROCESSING.”
Checked again on March 8 and it still said “PROCESSING.”Then I checked on March 12 and it said my information was not available.
Same on March 13.
On March 14, it was back and the status was “ISSUED.”Received refund via DD on March 17 (a Saturday).
Good luck out there.
-
I filed my state taxes 2/26, and I have not received my taxes. I checked on the site and it still showed it was being processed. today I got an error message saying the information I entered is incorrect I need to speak with a representative. has anyone experienced that?
-
My California state refund was authorized March 2nd, and as of today March 16th I have not received anything. I know all my banking info is correct becauze i already received my federal. Is anyone else experiencing this long delay in cali deposits? Are they broke this year or what…
-
I am furious with tax return situation this year. Never had any issues, this year absolute disaster. My fed DD arrived on Feb 23rd. They have miscalculated something and am waiting for the letter to contest. Now….Cali one…OMG….it shows issued on 23rd, where is my money? no sign. I filed by paper. Did the same last year and asked for DD. Last year …no issue. This year…..nothing. I have called a few times and they keep saying mo ey is gone to your bank….we don’t have it. Well if it has…where is my money?
-
I Filed both my Federal and State of California on February 2, 2018. I received my federal return DD the next week. The state still has my return in processing, that is as of today March 11, 2018. I have talked to an actual person at the FTB on the phone. They had to call me back almost three hours later. They informed that the FTB has up until April 15, 2018, to get my return back to me. Another BS move by the great state of California! Does anyone else have the same issue?
-
Update:
Filed. 2/9 both Federal and State accepted same day.
Already receive DD for federal.
02/27 received Issue date for state.
Called a few days later and they said i have an offset. Offset letter and check both came in the mail today 3/09.
Hope this helps someone.
Good luck everyone -
I don’t understand why CA refund is taking time after approval. ACH shouldn’t take more than 1-3 days max. Do they have money to pay?
-
Filed. 2/9 both Federal and State accepted same day.
Already receive DD for federal.
02/27 received Issue date for state.
Called a few days later and they said I have a Offset.
Still waiting for offset letter and check.
:( -
@Tony man this is really starting to bug me. I tried calling the ftb today but never got through to a person.
-
@Amanda I filed (both state and federal) on 2/13
state it is still in processing as now(3/06)
-
@Tony I received my federal the same day as you and I filled federal and state on February 11th. Have you gotten your state yet?
-
Filed 1/27, Accepted 2/x, Issued 2/23, received offset letter 3/5, does this mean I need to wait 25 business days from 3/5 to receive a check or from 2/23?.. this really screws me
-
Filed on 2/28 and accepted same day. Approved on 3/5 and still waiting to receive DD in BOA. Fed DDD is 3/8. I always received state first. This is the first time CA refund is slow.
-
To those who already got their direct deposit… anyone have BoA? and do you recall around what time of the day it was received?
-
still waiting for deposit issued 23rd
-
I have good news! I got my refund in the mail today! So there is hope! But here’s the run down for anyone who is feeling the pain of waiting:
Filed and accepted both Federal and State on 2/2/2018
State Where’s my Refund changed to issued on 2/15/2018
Received my Federal by DD on 2/22/2018, also received letter about an offset taken out by state.
Received balance of state refund by check today 3/2/2018
Hope everyone has a good day, see you all next year!
-
Filed, accepted, processed 2/19
As of 3/2 I’m no longer able to check my status.
The message says I may interning information incorrectly or it’s not received blah blah blah
-
Filed with TT (ID verified by drivers license within TT), Accepted, and Authorized on 2/26
Received money DD in bank today 3/2No eitc, but itemized
Hope everyone who was waiting wakes up to good news.
-
I filed (both state and federal) on 2/13
and I got fed dd on 2/22
but state it is still in processing as now
-
@Eva
I feel your pain. Filed and accepted 2/9. Called 916 02/23 and 02/26. Issued 02/27. and still waiting….for DD. -
Has anyone who’s waiting for their refund by check got theirs yet?
-
Update….DD received this morning 3/1. Good luck y’all
-
And nothing again today. This is fricking ridiculous.
-
What you need to know about CA FTB CALFILE this year:
1. They are really screwed up this year and screwing folks around. But you already know this.
2. Equifax breach last year got literally got yours and everyone elses info (whoever has any credit)…..name, address, SSN, driver license #, income, bank info, credit amounts, previous addresses, name changes,….all the stuff needed to file a phony tax return and direct deposit a refund in another account, This info has been sold in batches, and being used to grab 2017 refunds, especially state refunds which are very vulnerable with any online tax filing.
3. CA and most other states are automatically putting a hold on refunds e-filed. The hold is anywhere from 1 month to 16 weeks.
4. Past years, if you e-filed with CALFILE, your return was marked received and a refund fund was issued the very same day you clicked e-file. 7 days later a check was direct deposited in your bank account.
5. This year, if you e-file early with CALFILE, and have a refund due you, your return is put on hold with a ‘stamped’ date of April 29. which means FTB has that long to decide when to “process” it, and how it verify it is a credible return.
6. When you check the FTB page “Check Your 2017 Refund”, “Processing” means HOLD, and “Issued’ means PROCESSING. Pay no attention to whatever estimate FTB gives on this page for your refund to be sent. They have until APRIL 29 to decide what to do with your return and refund. Usually, FTb will sent a verify letter. Most times FTB tracks and logs all calls for each SSN, and the magic number of calls to get your refund issued (which means processed) depends on which agent you are lucky, or unlucky to get.
7. On the FTB page “Check Your 2017 Refund”, even tho you enterned all your correct info, you will get a ‘cant find’ error, usually 1 out of 3 times. Go back, and keep putting in your correct info each time, untilk you finally get the “Received-Processing-Issued” page. FTB tracks & logs each of these attempts and these attempts show up with the number of calls you make. The higher the number of calls and attempts on the Refund Status page, the better for you getting your refund out of “Processing” (aka: HOLD) and into “Issued” (aka: PROCESSING).
8. Once the FTB Refund Status page shows “Issued”, it will take 6-7 days for direct deposit, and 2-4 weeks for a paper check in the mail.
9 DO NOT USE CALFILE next year unless they put in a pin system and 2 step verification via text, which would be linked an account on FTB.gov.My stats:
1/31 CAL FILEd
2/07 Refund status moved from 7-10 days to 2-4 weeks.
2/14 Refund status moved 2-4 weeks to 1 month.
2/16 Called FTB 800 # and agent said refund on hold to April 29.
2/22 Checked status on FTB site 20+ times since 2/7
2/23 Refund status page moved from “Processing” to “Issued”
2/27 Received Verify Return Filed letter postmarked 2/23.
2/27 Called 916 # on the Veriify letter. Agent said verifying not necessary since my “refund is slotted to be issued and allow 2-4 weeks”
3/01 My bank text: Refund direct deposited.(despite what the agent said 2 days ago)Good luck. Make your comments known on the CAL FILE Facebook pag, and on any FTB survey, or FTB Feedback.
-
Back a few years ago I had my federal refund issued as a check and it was sent on Friday and I got it on the Friday a week after. I’m hoping for tomorrow but I’m sure going to flip if I get nothing by Friday!!
-
I called Monday 2/26 and they processed it that day my question is all the lady asked me about was the eitc and if I had a dependant she never stated anything about an adjustment but she did say they sent a letter out, did anyone get a letter for something other than an adjustment? Or when you had an adjustment did they say anything about it on the phone?
-
Didnt get my dd either. It said the 23rd of feb. Hoe long does this take?
-
I found out my refund was finally issued on the 23rd I’ll post again when I get the DD
-
Still nothing for me and I’m kinda wondering if the offset letter only took two days to come in the mail, why is it taking more than a week for a check to reach me? This is some bulls””” if you ask me!
-
@dee
Mine was issued on friday and im still waiting -
Checked the site today, and it’s finally updated. Says that it was “Issued” as of Monday and to allow 10 business days. Is there a day of the week they typically deposit that I can possibly anticipate?
-
Still waiting… I called last week and refund was authorized on Friday 2/23… no DD yet so I guess it takes longer than 2 business days to receive it
-
I called today (916-845-7892) the number listed on the letter about the offset and someone answered right away. I almost fell off my seat when the lady answered so quickly LOL but after giving my information she told me that the rest of my refund was issued as a check on 2/22/18. It didn’t come in the mail yet, but hopefully this week??
-
I filed (both state and federal) on 1/29, but it was still in processing as of 2/25 – then on 2/26 the message changed to say “we are taking longer than usual to process your return; call this number for further assistance.” So I called the number, but the man I spoke with said it was going to take 12 weeks to finish processing! Then I found the “back end” number on this forum, called that, and got through very quickly. They asked me some verification questions, put me on hold to review my refund, then came back and said “We see you spoke with someone else earlier today, and they gave you WRONG information. It was approved and processed on Friday 2/23, and should be deposited within two weeks.” I checked my FTB account later that night, and it finally changed from “processing” to “issued.” Still waiting on the actual direct deposit, but at least I know it won’t take 12 weeks! Pretty bad when even the FTB agent says they gave me incorrect info at first. Thanks to everyone here for the tips. :-)
-
Update:
I finally got someone on the line at FTB; still unsure why the website was telling me they couldn’t pull my information based on the numbers I entered but she was able to tell me that my refund was “scheduled” yesterday and I can expect it within 7 business days.
-
So I had a acceptance date of 2/2. No refund or updates yet. Fed was accepted 2/2 in my bank 2/9. I always get my state before fed, always file my own taxes. The problem with my fed was my employer changed names but the EIN was the same. Called that 916 number you guys were talking about and they said 2-4 weeks to be processed now. If it wasn’t for this forum I’d be losing my bananas!!!
-
I filed on 2/14 both state and federal.
2/23 State changes to issued.
2/24 Fed changes to approved with a date of 2/28.
I have not received state even though it says issued, does issued mean it will be there in ten days? Because it isn’t there yet. 2 full business days + the weekend.
-
@Hoyatiger
Thanks! I attempted to call but they were pretty busy and when they called me back an hour later the agent disconnected the call when he answered! Grrrrr!! I tried back but they were still busy so the call back time would make it after close. The message said to call back. so I will call first thing
-
I haven’t received the rest of my refund after the offset letter. So what I’ve gathered the rest will be sent in the form of a check within 25 days. Now mind you, 25 days probably means 25 business days so that puts me into April! The Franchise Tax Board really made a hot mess of tax season! They act like it’s coming out of their own pockets for faks sake!
-
@dee
They need clarification or verification to continue processing. call them they are quick to answer the calls. dont delay calling them, resolve it quickly so you can get it processed ASAP.
-
Filed 2/23
Accepted 2/23
When I go on FTB site it says I have to call. Should I assume they’re taking my return? -
Update:
Regular return, no offsets EIC or anything else:
Filed 2/2
Accepted 2/2
Called FTB 2/16: Apparently you can ask them to process your return. It took around 5 minutes.
Issued 2/20 ( holiday and weekend delay) ( stated 10 business days to recieve DD)
Arrived my bank via DD around midnight last night 2/26
Hope this helps anyone!
Good luck all and God Speed!!
-
I posted earlier about filing thru CalFile. Was told by FTB filing directly is taking much longer this year and to tell people I know not to use it. Uh what’s going on over there? I agree with the person that said this likely had to do with the Equifax hack. I was stuck in processing for weeks. Then was told on the chat to wait 12 weeks? Uh what? Filing directly is always faster than the tax software. I always get it within a week. Simple return, no offsets, nothing. Called the backend 916 number, he verified a few things and said he was processing it. I’m not kidding, if you filed through cal file it seems you really need to call to get any movement. It move to issued that night. It was deposited today ay my bank, Saturday 2/24. Good luck all. That was a nightmare
-
Just a quick update: I received a letter from the FTB saying they did an intercept on my refund. They took out 74 dollars for something I owed:
Your refund Minus the funds Refund sent
amount: we intercepted: to you:
$$ $$ $$I chuckled a little at the last column because yup sure I received the letter but not my refund. So hopefully since it says “sent to you” it’s on it’s way in the form of a check. Hopefully tomorrow or Monday maybe?
-
Ok, so I called several times on 21st, the FTB said that return was in another department and that they can’t call them. I wanted to know more and asked if it was in a verification status. They wouldn’t answer my question, very robotic. They wouldn’t even confirm if there was such a thing. Oddly enough, the 22nd, I get the notice (I check my account through their website – bot check my refund) and bam – Its in the Compliance section, so I read the PDF and I call first thing. Spoke to a nice young lady who asked me some verification questions, she said she would process it. So, later that day it said, “Received”. Today, the refund shows as a credit, but, still shows as “Received” and where’s my refund shows –
We are unable to provide your refund status online using the information you provided.
•You can try again to be sure you entered your information correctly.
•If you have a MyFTB account, log in to verify your contact information.The person on the phone said that Direct Deposit can be two weeks to a month and longer for paper. Thankfully, I’m DD. So, I will patiently wait….
-
Quite interesting this year. I typically file with Turbotax and get my State within a week and Fed within 2 weeks. Filed, processed, etc. January 30 for State and Fed. Received my Fed within 2 weeks, California appeared to be actually completed with “Processing” but no refund issued.
Finally called today (916 845 7088) (barely on hold for a minute) and the woman who I spoke with indicated she went on and processed it and should have funds within 2-4 weeks (although possibly sooner). Of course I did have to validate information, etc.
This year what was different:
– We bought a house so our address is different
– I used CalFile via the FTBIf I hadn’t found this forum than I wouldn’t have known to call the number to have the refund issued.
-
@amelia
Hey, sorry I went on a trip and then i was ill and this had totally slipped out of my noggin. I got my dd refund in the bank on 2/16/17. Just in time, too. -
WELL, filed 12/14 refund authorized 12-16
Received a letter from my BANK stating that the franchise tax board was freezing $287 of my earned paycheck Money!!!!Soooo 3 hours later and 9 people later, turns out they took the $287 out of my refund AND froze it in my bank account!!!! They said oops, we will fax your bank to have them lift it, should take 2-3 days!!!! OHHH and we have to mail out a check and that can take up to 3 weeks!!!
WTF…..you make the mistake and I have to wait!!! Just wow!!!
Anyone have a check mailed after and offset? How long did it really take?
-
Hey everyone I called Feb 12th and was authorized the 13th. My state funds made it to the bank Feb 15th but it was returned because my husband and I files jointly and we have to wait for check to be mailed once the FTB get it back. This was a green dot card. Just wanted to show that it took 2 business days once it was authorized. Hope this helps!
-
by the way- reading online i have heard NOT TO USE CAL FILE. i just went ahead and paid the $20 to hr block to file it. I’ve heard a lot of people saying cal file is holding up their returns with no obvious reason
-
i just filed it today. if you filed it earlier it doesn’t matter. old FTB wasn’t even accepting several of the forms until a couple of days ago, they would just hold the returns and then started processing them.
Fed has requested additional info which i sent so that will take 6-8 weeks. i won’t be holding my breath for my california return, i am sure they will find a reason to bend me over and f*** me like they do to all californians
-
Filed with TT 1/25/18
WMR kept saying processing until 2/20/18 when it disappeared and now won’t even recognize my information. Called FTB who looked into it and said they are unable to process my return just yet. No other information. So frustrated! I’m just going to start filing exempt for the year and setting money aside. I’ll file taxes when I get to it next year and then pay them when I feel like it -
It’s so weird, it’s like they won’t even process your state refund unless you call in.
I filed and was accepted for Federal on 2/5 received my refund yesterday, 2/21.
I filed via the state website as I presumed that would be quicker, also on 2/5. Never received a peep from them so I called yesterday and spoke with a woman that verified info, placed me on a long hold and came back to say that she processed my return and that I should receive it within 2-4 weeks.
-
I filled 2/9. both Fed and State accepted same day. I received my Federal refund DD today. Still waiting on State. It’s very irritating.
-
filed and accepted on the 14th of FEB. status as of now states processing BUT I just checked my credit union account and it shows a pending deposit from the state for 02/23.
You might want to check your bank accounts for pending deposits even though the CA refund status site says processing.
-
Used CalFile. 01/30, shows received, Checked every day since 01/30. As of today, 02/21/18, it still shows as received. Tried Chat option twice today and they say that the department who reviews it has it and it cannot be reviewed. I asked if it was under “verification” – just get the response that they can’t tell me anything and if they need additional info they will contact me and that it can take 12 weeks.
I asked about a verification process and what that includes – my account aside. They still respond by saying they will contact me if they need anything else. No notices on file as I can see them if there was one. No owed taxes. I’m bothered.
-
I filed Feb 8 received State on the 12th when does that ever happen pretty exciting. Federal still pending
-
Filed and accepted on 2/3
Got one month processing message when checking WMR
Called on 2/9, they said no offsets and to just wait.
Called 2/14, had a lady that reviewed my account information and asked me to verify which bank I use (I had a different bank last year) and she said she would process my refund. Later that day got an issue date of 2/14 on WMR.
Woke up this morn 2/21 and the DD was In my bank.
Good luck everyone I hope your deposits come soon!! -
Well as off 3:30 am here in Cali I have yet to receive a damn thing in my bank from FTB. The app says my refund was issued or authorised on 2/15/2018. I’ll update when I get it in my account
-
I filed IRS & Ca on 1/31. Got my IRS refund in 7 days, as usual. CA refund was MIA and still is “Processing”. It has always been direct deposited in 7 days for the last 15+ years. This year, I believe the reason is EQUIFAX. Remember the hack that stole 400 million peoples’ ID info last year? Hackers got your name, SSN, address, phone number, and CC financials. All the things to successfully file a return in your name for those who bought up blocks of that info. If you filed thru another online service, CA figures that return is vetted.CA FTB’s website has got to be so vulnerable, FTB doesn’t trust anyone filing using CAL FILE. Make sure to dislike CAL FILE on Facebook. I’m not using it next year since it may take 1 to 3 months to get a refund. Some people get lucky when they wait for hours for several days calling until they get thru to someone who knows what they are doing.
-
Filed 2/2 still was in processing as of 2/20. Simple basic return. One w2, and ssdi benefits with renters credit. Was told via chat on ftb, 12 weeks. Called the 916 number to talk to someone and he asked me a few verification questions about myself and my husband. Then he said he was processing it and said I had no offsets, monies owed and to allow another 2-4 weeks and I should have it. He said filing through their site is taking longer. He said if I had used a tax service instead I would have already had it. This has never been the case before. I always file direct and usually get state before fed. I got my fed 2 weeks ago now, wishing a week. Now, I go to check my refund and it says NO INFORMATION FOUND. Wtf? So I go from processing to not found?!?! Anyone else having trouble getting a very basic uncomplicated refund?
-
Mine was in processing and now it’s saying unable to find your info. I know Eva and Nicole posted on this. Anyone experience this too?
-
Did anyone receive their deposit from state? If so what day did you file and what day did you receive the deposit?
-
Well this was freaking awesome. I received a notice from the franchise tax board 2/16 saying I owed money to the city of San Diego for a fine a couple years ago but the catch is that I paid this amount way back in Sept. of last year but it was never updated in FTB system. So now, not only do I have to wait on a check for my refund, I also have to wait until the city gets the fine amount and sends me a another check for the amount they shouldn’t have taken to begin with. Once an adjustment letter comes, how long is it taking to get a paper check?
-
Filed 2/2
Both Fed & State accepted 2/2
Fed DD 2/14
State issued 2/14 still no DD from state. -
My CA State was issued on 02/15 and no DD yet.. Monday was a holiday, I don’t remember it taking this long last year. Will keep you posted!
-
Filed both federal and state 2/9. Accepted Same date. Already got my Federal issue date. State still in processing. Any one on the same boat?
-
BF and I filed the same day and time
Feb 15thJust checked
His was accepted Feb 16 and approved February 16Mine was accepted Feb 16 and is still processing
Hopefully mines updates soon. -
Accepted 1/29
Issued 2/9After my whole ordeal calling in and faxing my 1099, asking if there’s anything else I should know, I get a letter from 2/14 saying I had an offset from who knows how long ago for $230. Guess I owed fees from a community college semester like a decade ago!
So now I have to wait for it to be mailed? Which sucks. Does it reset the amount of time I have to wait?
-
Hello..i filed state and federal on 2/7 accepted on both on 2/7. Stare shows refund issued on feb 15, anyone issued on 2/15 got their refund direct deposited yet?
-
How long after the refund is authorized has the miney been hitting the back?
-
@Kevin
I’m in the same boat. I filed state 1/2 and got an issue date of 2/9. They said i had an adjustment and notice was coming. No notice yet and still waiting.When they adjust your refund or have an offset, they no longer direct deposit. They send a check. Which takes so much longer. A friend of mine took 15 days for her to get her check from state.
My federal updated this morning to a DDD of 2/22. I filed 1/31.
-
So are you able to find out if you have an offset with California? If you get an offset does it mean no direct deposit and they will mail a check? Thanks!
-
Recievd both state and federal today ..state first..then fed..Eitc
-
I have a issue date of 2/13 but have not received dd yet
-
@sans
The info you provided was the most helpful and spot-on it was a great help!.!.!- to find out what was going on with my taxes –
my question to you how long after they issued did you actually receive your direct deposit -
Okay, so I went to the FTB to check the status one more time and now it says ISSUED! I haven’t checked my bank yet but I almost fell over seeing it!! Anyway it says it was authorized to be issued on February 15. I’ll update when I check my bank
-
I have been getting the one month message up until 2 days ago, now I’m getting the same message as nicole:
Unable to find a return with the details entered.
What the hell? -
What the hell?? I filed both state and fed on 1/31 with an accepted date on the same day. My state was issued on 2/9 and I still have not received a DD or a notice of adjustment. My fed is still sitting on one bar (processing). Is anyone else still waiting around on both? And I’m not even claim EIC so I don’t get the delay this year.
-
This is first year I filed my State before i got federal taxes…last year got deposit in 10days from filing .. I use free tax USA filling state cost 12.95. if no deposits.. tonight or tomorrow with Monday being holiday pushes us to mid week .. ugh…however we might see movement on fed tax wheres my refund..I’m curious now if state and federal communicate as in if fed approves state default does too ??
-
For those that efiled with Cal File and still waiting for a refund, let them know your pain here:> https://www.facebook.com/CalFile/
-
@Gary I efiled through turbo tax and yes I’m expecting a EIC other than that normal return W-2s
-
Filed on the 12th, accepted on the 12th. Tried checking CA Franchise Board and getting below message. All my information is correct. Anyone know what that means?

NewtoCali. How did u file? Was it e-file? w2 or 1099? Eic?
-
UPDATE: Called for the second time today first time was told everything was fine no additional information was needed and some returns just need additional provessing time and for me to wait 12 weeks called today and was told I need to fax over a bunch of documents WOW so if your being told the 12 week crap call again and speak to someone else to make sure they dont need a bunch of unnecessary documentation
-
Called for the third time and the very nice rep stated one of two things may have happened…either I am one of the lucky refunds that will sit for 2 to 4 weeks before being released or it was a clerical error and my refund was deposited into someone else’s account.
WTF
-
I have Acceptance Date. Of 1st . Last year. Got DD no update on FTB until after deposit. . also deposit hit approx 9pm last year. Acceptance on 3/4 ddd of 3/14. I’m anticipating it will be tonight or tommorow don’t see it hitting on weekend
-
Gary B
I have an issue date of 2/1 and still no DD.
I am so very frustrated. -
I filed on 2/5 says received 2/5 has said processing allow up to one month since. My mom filed same day as me and she got her refund on 2/11. I called today and rep said she will release my refund and I’ll receive it in 2-4 weeks. Does it really take that long for DD?
-
Anyone Accepted on Feb 1st got DD..? CA FTB where’s refund last few years never updates for me..this year it’s on same were unable to ….update saying to call in..years past I did call in to just get a generic response of 12weeks etc..
-
Filed 1/25 accepted 1/29 ftb issued feb 9th still no dd to serve card.
-
At this point I think I may get fed return before state.
-
@Misty did they show they issued on the website for you or did you only find out through calling I’ve had the 1 month message for about 2 weeks now still on processing just wondering if they issue without updating site ever??
-
Well I called them today and they said it was issued on the 12th and it should get here between 10 and 14 days
-
IRS & CA efiled and accepted 1/31/18.
Every year it’s been 7 days (for me) to get both direct deposted.
IRS refund received 2/7/18,
CA refund still “Processing” 02/14/18
Last week CA FTB website said 7-10 days for efilers.
This week CA FTB website says 2 weeks for efilers.
Check refund status says 1 month for efilers.
Left bad feedback pon CA FTB website.
20 years ago CA FTB sent a letter to my employer to garnishee my wages 80% because my paper return never showed up and gave me 48hrs to pay 250% of what they said was my tax due. Should be a law the other way…….no refund on time gets CA FTB a penalty of 100% per day of the refund due! Mad as hades this year being a victim of BAD CA FTB. -
I finally received my check.
Refund Issued 2/2
Offset letter received on 2/7
Received Check in mail on 2/14
Good Luck everyone !! -
I was authorized on 2/8 and received my deposit over night so the 5 work days seem to be the average. Good luck everyone
-
1/11 filed
2/1 issuedWaiting for DD
I have called twice and told everything is fine.
Any suggestions?It is now 2 weeks from the issue date and no letter, no check, no dd.
-
Filed 1/30 accepted 1/30 1 month message called 2/6 faxed documents 2/6 no update still processing
-
@Bk My offset was also dated the 7 th. You would think it would have came shortly after .
-
Filed both fed/state on 1/29, accepted on the same day. My state was issued on 1/9 but still haven’t received. Fed still sitting on one bar, just keeps saying processing. I am not claiming EIC so not sure why fed is taking so long. Anyone else that’s having this same issue?
-
Filed 1/29, accepted 1/30, authorized 2/8, received direct deposit today 2/14…. Finally!!!
-
Anyone with the issued date of 2/08 received their direct deposit yet? Also how do we know if we have an offset?
-
@lisaincali
I got my offset letter dated 2/7 and as of today still no check yet. Waiting, I’ll be calling in the morning though.
-
I filed 1/22 accepted 1/29 and still in processing…. Anyone else got their refund yet… I called and they said it could take up to 12 weeks!
-
Hope this helps… Turbo tax entered 1/19 accepted 1/22. Called ftb on 2/7 and verified amount of return and other questions. She said awesome she would go ahead and finish processing. Authorized on 2/9 for funds and just received it on a netspend card today 2/13 8pm. Also have dependant and other credits. Now the wait for federal begins…..
-
I received my offset letter on the 9th and still no check in the mail. Has anyone else got there’s ?
-
Filed 1/29, accepted 1/30, authorized 2/8, as of today still no direct deposit.,.
-
Hello Everyone,
My California return was received 1/29/18, issued 2/8/18 and DDD 2/13/18. Hope this is helpful.
-
Just called for the 2nd time, was told nothing is holding my return, everything looks good, don’t need to submit anything…BUT it takes 8 to 12 weeks processing from the date it was accepted..WTF IS UP WITH FTB THIS YEAR?? I don’t understand it. EITC and Self Employed, but she said everything is .. Just don’t get it
-
Oops, I meant I received State not Federal, doesn’t it deposited the same time?
-
Ok, mine was accepted on 2-7-18 and just got DD (weird time, its 11:22am) how much longer does it take for State?
-
I’m not claiming EIC. My return is just for me and has nothing unusual about it. My Tax Timeline (so far):
1/19/18: Submitted State and Federal
1/22/18: Status on both changed to ‘Accepted’
1/31/18: Received Federal DD, state still in ‘Processing’
2/09/18: Called 916.845.6500. All they said was that it was due in ’12 weeks’ and that there didn’t seem to be any further info they needed. Immediately called 916.845.7088 and selected options for ‘I can’t get my status online’ and after entering my info, waited on the line to speak to someone. Told them I was trying to figure out my status. They said that they were pending verification from me to prevent fraud, asked me the amount of my refund, and that i was now confirmed.
2/13/18: Status changed to ‘Issued’. Awaiting DD.
The advice on this site has been very helpful. Thank you to everyone posting here. I hope this helps someone else. Will update when my DD shows in my bank.
-
Online my refund says it was issued in 02/08. I just called and she said it was issued in 02/14…anyone else have that problem? Is 02/14 the actual direct deposit day? Thanks in advance!
-
line 115 filled in on procssed state return where it says refund or no amount due. mail to franchise tax board?
-
filed 2/1 accepted 2/6 getting 1 month online and on the phone waiting for check by mail.. what does this mean?
-
I filed 1/29
accept right away
noticed I had the one month message
called on 2/7
updated to issued on 2/7
received dd 2/13 at 230amso call if you have to
-
I was given an issue date of Monday, Feb. 12, 2018. It says can take up to 10 days.
Hope this is not the case. It is direct deposit. Venmo works faster!! -
I filed 1/2 accepted same day. Had to send in additional documents on 2/2. Refund authorized 2/9.
I called FTB yesterday and she said that a paper check was issued. I signed up for direct deposit!!!
How long does it take to get the check?
-
This is ridiculous. I filed 1/11,
I have an issue date of 2/1, I have called and been told everything is fine, no letters, no off sets, no check, NO DEPOSITHow are others filing long after me and receiving their refunds in less than 5 days.
And still I sit and wait.
-
Just received an issued for my California refund
-
I was just checked the California refund site and it was issued yesterday the 12 of February I was given the 1 month message on the 26th of January. any idea how long for DD?
-
@lakergurl.
When was yours accepted? Mine was 2/3 -
CA FTB has issues this year!!!
Every year I receive my CA refund BEFORE the Fed. I called today & the nice lady told me they needed 12 WEEKS to REVIEW. No offsets. What-n-tha Barnacle!!!! I filed electronically directly thru FTB website; never again!!! Still processing…still no ETA :( -
@waitingincali
ya and it sucks because i have been seeing people get theirs within like 3 or 4 days including the weekends… people with issued date of 2/7 got theirs on saturday 2/10 so it makes me mad! lol you would think they would release everyone at the same time
-
@frustratedcitz
I was also given an issue date of 2/07 and I am still waiting for the dd. I’m relieved to hear someone else has the same issue… i guess they are really using that whole 10 days : \
-
i am getting frustrated because i was issued a date of 2/7 and i see people getting their refunds back in 3 or 4 days. so i am impenitently waiting for my state refund. if anyone with a 2/7 issue date can post when their state is dd please let me know. thank you
-
@Waitingncali sadly I did not get my check yet! I’m hoping it will be in the mail today. When I spoke with the rep last week, I was told I would get it before 2/15. I’m just worried because mine was issued on 1/31 so I thought I would for sure have it when you got it. The waiting continues…
-
Hello ,
Hope this helps filed on 1/29 accepted 2/1 had error message until 2/6 then updated to processing then late on 2/8 like 11 pm switched to issued saw other people where receiving theirs but still i had nothing so i called today 2/12 the 916-845-7088 got through quick and easy spoke to a very nice lady asked me a few questions and she told me that it was issued and they sent it over to the state controller who actually sends them out and I should have it soon but if it isnt deposited by friday call back so i will post again once i receive the deposit… hope this helps… p.s. i used expresstaxrefund they haven’t updated federal or state lol!! -
Anyone who claimed kids receive there DD?
-
Anyone with a 2/1 issue date receive a DD today?
-
I’m in the same boat as Martin. Filed and accepted on 1/30 still showing processing on FTB website I chose Direct Deposit as my payment method. How can I find out if I have offsets? Can the PATH also impact state returns?
-
@ Martin, was your return accepted or issued/ There’s a big difference and are you getting a check or direct deposit because a check can take up to 25 days.
-
California authorized my refund on January 30th. I have not received my refund to this date should I be worried??
-
I filled a nonresident return on 2/2, and received my DD last Thursday.
-
Hello everyone so I called the 916 # and I spoke with a very nice lady again she checked the status on my account and everything is good and ok she said DD was issued on the 7th of February and I should get it on Friday bc it’s 7-10 b days from the date they send it out.
I’ve been checking the refund status and it doesn’t say anything about DD being sent out so I recommend calling this number they’ll tell you everything you need to know and plus no long wait times. Hop this helps.Accepted on 1/23
Approved on 2/1
Issued for dd on 2/7Now just playing the waiting game. I do have 2 dependents so I’m thinking that’s why mine is taking so long.
-
Good morning.. I was wondering the times of deposits… Is it always around midnight or while your sleeping?
-
I seriously hate California man, before being forced here, I lived in NY and every year since I started working at the rightful age of 16 years of age, I have always received my Federal and State within one week after filing, no issues, no delays, once I moved to California Federal still remain the same but I always have to wait long periods for State.
Last year was my first time filing a California State and did not receive it until April and get this, I remember filing and being accepted around the end of January last year, received a letter in mail early part of April for me to sign to make sure it’s me the one filing a State Return, fax it in and received State two weeks later.
And now here we go again, File both Federal And State 1/29 and accepted 1/29, received my Federal DD into my bank 4 days later however with State, I am on a one month processing hold, when I called, all they tell me is I have no offsets and no problem, I just have to wait for 7 to 12 weeks for processing.
This is absurd, NY never gave me this problem for the 15 years I have been working in that State. Luckily I will be going back to my home State very soon. -
Issued 2/6.
Direct deposited 2/10 on Saturday morning! -
Hope this helps someone I was accepted the 31st approved DD on the 6th…money was deposited in my bank account yesterday morning the 10th. Some people I have seen it can take up to 7 business days.
-
@DJDLash was it supposed to be a paper check or direct deposit? I got a letter for offset on the 6th for $40 but still haven’t gotten then rest.
-
I just had my CA return approved but my federal still says processing. Is this normal or happened with anyone else. I am not claiming EIC so not sure why the delay on federal.
-
My state was accepted on 2/3 and has the 1 month message. When does ftb update? Should I be concerned?
-
Filed 1/26 checked California site didn’t have any information. So called and they said I had a 12 week review wtf man it’s only for $181 that’s the lamest stuff ever. Federal is already holding my refund because of the Eic.. lame lame lame
-
Hope this helps
Filed 1/29
Accepted 1/29
Called 2/6
Authorized and updated in site 2/7

Hi everyone… I was wondering if anyone with an issue date of 2/7 has received anything. Im hoping tonight or 2am it hits… And advice?
-

-

Called and had an offset I didn’t know about. I even called to verify of any offsets before filing taxes but I guess they still got me lol
2/8 Received Offset Notice
2/10 Received partial Refund Check in the mailI’m done with this tax season!
Good luck everyone! -
Anyone with a DD of 2/1 that had an offset get their check in the mail today?
-
Thanks or the the response @waitingncali I enrolled for the direct deposit but hope the check does come in soon then.
-
Anyone get their DD* not dad. Sorry. Autocorrect
-
Anyone get their DAD before a date was issued? I had one person tell me it happened to them but not sure how true that is.
-
@bk if you got the offset letter today, then you should have your paper check on monday or tuesday
-
Approved 1/18, issued 2/3, today got an intercepted letter from 2/7… still waiting for the return. Anyone had gotten a intercept letter? How soon did u get the funds after?
-
@howlong that’s strange. Call the number on monday ..916.845.7088. This number will get you the answer hopefully!
-
@waitingncali thanks I have checked the website and see a issued bubble and received bubble but no DD.
-
@howlong. Ftb.ca.gov. its the state refund checker just like the federal one
-
Where is everyone getting their DD
-
@Nicholas yes they will automatically take it. They dont wait for permission. Lol you will get the letter telli g you a few days after you were supposed to get dd.
@showmethemoney thank you! I hope you got yours as well!!! -
@Waitingncali yay!!! I’m so excited for you. Hopefully my check is in there as well when I check it later today!
-
@Waitingncali I think I have an offset as well for parking tickets. Do they automatically send the paper check (after taking what I owe) or do I need to call again to verify the offset and only then will they send the paper check?
-
@420
Call this number 916 845 7088This number will help you expedite that 12 weeks to about 10 days. Any issue with your ca return or it’s nit popping up in the system, call this number and they will tell you what you need to send in
-
Thanks
-
@coco so from what others have went through. If takes about 5 dayd for them to uodate you after you have sent in addtl papersork. If your status doesnt change by tuesday you shoild def call back and try to push them to finish it.
-
@waitingincali
Nope not yet. I faxed in my info yesterday and it updated to processing. -
@coco. I can help you, but first a few Q’s. Have you finished processing yet? Does your status on the ftb site have a dd issue date yet? Answer tbose and ill get back to you asap🌞
-
So basically after a review and they process you, how long is the actual wait, they say two to four weeks but who can tell me their experience?
-
@wishingonastar Thanks!! I wont spend it one place…but those darn bills and the kids get all my .money!! Lol
-
@Waitingncali
Now I can say congrats!!!!!
Don’t spend it all at once!! :-) -
@vee… Mine was issued on the 31st..and the state got me for an offset too. I just got my paper check today. So yours should be in their tomorrow or.monday at the latest.
-
Just wondering if anyone had their state intercepted & how long after did you get your money. I received a letter saying it was intercepted for $40 the rest should DD but nothing yet & funds were issued on the 1st. Maybe I’m inpatient but I’m just curious.
-
Woohoo! My paper check finally came!!!
-
@Waitingncali
👀 It’s 11 ??? Hope you get it!!!
-
Alright guys. So i filed early on the the 21st. Its been stuck on processing every since then. Finally called the 916 number spoke to a representative today. She verified some questions over the phone and said everything looks good and she would process it thru for me….. But heres the kicker, she said it would take another 2-4 weeks to finish processing… Wtf was it doing when i filed it in the first place… Very frustrating…
-
@wishing on a star. Im wanting a congrats! Lol. My mail comes at 11..so ill be checking then with my fingers crossed!!!
-
@Waitingncali
Whoops..sorry..I thought you received it already.
-
@waitingncali
Congrats!!!
The horror is over for you! :-) -
Finally!
My refund was issued yesterday after talking to another representative. I called twice yesterday. The first person I talked to stated it was waiting final review so I called back later that day and talked to someone else and that person asked me a few questions and pushed it through.
My taxes were accepted on the 19th and finally got pushed through and issued yesterday.
So I would say keep calling if there’s a hold up until someone can specifically tell you what you need to complete your return or someone that is WILLING to push it through. -
Ok 1/31 dd’rs…lets all the check the mail today and have our check!!!! We need some good news!! Funny how our letters came on time…now we want our moneyyyyyy!!!!
-
I also have the error kickback when I go to check now, and was told yesterday that it’s been approved. So I think what the others have said is true, it’s giving the error because it’s been sent.
-
If they need you to fax your social security card and you lost yours what can you do? I have my daughters social but I lost mine. I ordered a replacement but who knows how long that’s gonna take.
-
@kevin That happened to me right before my status changed to issued
-
So I’ve been able to check daily my refund status but this morning I entered all the correct info required but now its saying its wrong, like my refund amount has changed or something. Has this happened to anyone else?
-
That1chiq
2-4 weeks for a DD? That’s ridiculous, I hop I don’t get the same hut with my luck I prolly will. I wonder if they have a reason for a DD to take that long when my brothers check didn’t even take that long to be mailed, I’m hoping it’s sometime today too.
-
State received on 1/23, still processing. When I called, they told me I have to wait 12 weeks because it needs “further review” and there is no information that I can give to push it through. 😞
-
I am going through the same waiting game. It is discouraging when you see people that filed after you get there deposit in 3 to 5 days.
The rep I spoke with yesterday said 2 to 4 weeks for a DD.
I too have an issue date of 2/1.
Good luck hoping for a DD notification this afternoon. -
I filed on the 01/23 I have 2 dependents so don’t expect anything from federal yet. But I efiled and said it was accepted and approved on the 23 of January I filed w/h&r block. My state was issued on 2/1 and have dd set up and a big fat nothing, I called on Tuesday and the lady (very nice lady btw) said that just bc the ftb sight says issued doesn’t mean it was sent out issued means approved and she also said that it will be sent out for dd on Tuesday and should have it on Thursday…well it’s Friday freaking morning and nothing still.
My brother who efiled a week after I did and who doesn’t when have dd already got his state check… seriously wth! Lol -
Website said issued 2/5/18 and just received it dd 2/9 @ 2:30am 😁 Im surprised because I filed my 2015, 2016 & 2017 all on 2/1. The only one I received was 2017 refund…
-
Does the shut down affect my DD that was approved Tuesday?????
-
I filed my tax with FTB website on 1/21/2018 and I waited for long time before I call them at (916) 845-7088 on 2/6/2018. It took the call to solved the issue with ID verified. Today with refund issue date 2/7/2018. Please call this number if your return has been awhile since your filed.
-
@vp it just says my refund was issued on 1/31.
-
@waitingncali since you know your refund is coming in the mail has your info changed at all on on the ftb site to check for refund?
-
So what are the odds I called back today and I got the same woman with the thick accent and she remembered me from my call the other day. Had the same issues verifying my address and it seemed like every question I asked she asked right back.
She said i should have my refund in 2 to 4 weeks.
I have an issue date of 2/1 and it is set for DD.So again I sit and wait.
-
I have been calling all week with different answers. I think I am going to try to wait it out. This is soooooo frustrating.
-
California accepted my tax return back on January 29th and it’s been sitting on the 1 month message saying it could take 1 month to approve my friend sent hers in the same day and got her approval of refund like 2 days later has everyone been moving fairly quickly for the state of California? I’m still sitting on processing
-
@Waitingncali you and me both! I hate snail mail.
-
@wishingonastar
Have you called or are you just gonna wait it out?
-
I called the letter on my notice and she said its just a timing issue. She said it should come any day now.. Ill continue to check mail with fingers crossed! Lol
-
@Waitingncali haven’t checked it yet today! I’ll be checking when I get home in about 4 hours. Hoping we all have good news soon!
-
Hi 👋
Filed Feb 4th. Got accepted yesterday. Today the status bar disappeared and was replaced with the “we cannot provide a status for your refund online with the information provided” message and a 800 number to call. Called the number and a nice lady checked and said she could see the amount of my refund had been added to my account but a dd date hadn’t been established yet and that’s probably why I got the message but that everything is ok and should be seeing something no later than a week from now possibly sooner…. 😃 -
Patientlywaitingincali
👐 Raising hands!!
-
@Tara I had to do same fax items. Friday 2/9 is my 5th day. Hopefully all goes well.
-
Filled on the 21st of January. Still processing. Didn’t even update to show issued??? Anybody in the same slow, painful boat?????
-
I just called FTB since I received a letter in the mail and she told me I’ll get the check 2-4 weeks from the issue date 2/1
-
@showmethemoney @waitingonthemail
Have you guys checked the mail today. Im goin to go check mine soon. But hoping one of you got good news first! -
I have faxed everything a couple of days ago and was told it takes 5 business days for them to review it. Is there something I can do to rush it a little. Been calling everyday and getting the same answer
-
Just updating.
Accepted 1/26 and had been processing since. After a couple calls this week, they requested my 1099-K be faxed in and then was told 8 weeks. They told me this is the actual standard time for a self employed EITC. (Lyft/Uber)Requested a call back from a supervisor who, while a bit surly, did say that time frame was true. Threw on my nicest customer service voice and asked if there was anything I could do or provide to help it along, which got him to confirm a few more things about proof of payment/my son’s age.
He then processed it and said I should have it within two weeks but to call back if it takes more than 4. The site hasn’t updated yet but I did just hang up with him~Be EXTRA nice to them when you call, you get results!
-
Issued on Feb 2 and still no DD so I called and sure enough I have an offset and the balance will be issued by check. Does anyone know how long it take for a check to come in the mail ? It got mailed out today
-
In my FTB account summary, it shows the amount I’m owed but still only says “received” as the status. Does that mean i’m getting close?
-
@mamadelo
916-845-6500
This is the number I called.
I have an issue date of 2/1 as well.and still no dd. -
Had a issue date of 2/1 and still no DD. What’s the number to see if we have an offset??
-
How is everyone checking their status on the website it says it has not been updated since 1/30
-
Just giving my info. Filed and accepted 2/1. Had the 1 month message. Decided to not call.
2/2 changed to issued. Deposited today 2/8. Didn’t call, didn’t need to. No paper check. No review.
Now waiting on fed. Good luck everyone.
-
Anyone with an issue date of 2/1 get a DD?
-
Filed: 1/29 via Turbotax (CA EITC)
CA FTB site never displayed my refund status since filing. It still returns a ‘no refund can be found with the information you’ve provided.’
However, just checked and my refund was received via direct deposit on 2/6.
-
Has anyone ever received there federal refund before the IRS wmr updated with a dd date please let me know
-
@Kitty Kat
Yeah….I think you are right. I think I should as well.
-
@wishingonastar
The first person said nothing needed to be done and when I called today she said they sent me a 4502 letter requesting the information. If I were you I’d just send over a copy of your federal tax return and SS cards.
-
@Kitty kat
I am sorry to hear that. I guess that’s what I have to do as well cause even though someone stated my taxes were processed, I believe they are still being held up. I talked to one person and she said I need to send in proof of self employment then another person said nothing needs to be done. I think FTB doesn’t know how to implement the new eic for the self employed. I am pretty sure I have to do the same thing as you. :-(
-
@lisaincali
They didn’t say anything to me when I first called but when I called back yesterday because I still hadn’t gotten my DD that’s when they told me. I had an issue date of the 31st and all I have received is a notice of what was taken out and by who.
-
I filed on 1/29 and got the 1 month message. I called today and was told since I am self employed I needed to fax over schedule c, se, and f from federal return and SS cards for everybody on taxes. Apparently they have to verify I am self employed even thought I’ve been paying taxes on my business for the last 14 years.
-
I called and had a representative push my state return on 1/31/18 . My refund got issued on on Feb 2 . If I had an offset would the representative have told me on the phone ?
-
My refund got intercepted and the balance is being mailed. It was issued the 31st and I received the notice stating where the money went that was taken out today. Does anyone know how much longer it will take the check to get here?
-
@marcus czech. You should call ftb. Sounds like your getting a paper check too. I didnt think i owed tthe state either. Could be as silly as a ticket that was unpaid. But everyone has gotten their dd in 5 days…unless the state has intercepted for a payment like in my case. Now im waiting for a paper check that was issued on the 31st.
-
I called the 916 number that someone listed below to see if there is anything holding up my refund. I was told there are no other documents needed and it is just 2 weeks for my refund from the date accepted (01/29/2018) So waiting game….
If anyone wants to try calling….I got thru pretty quickly…FYI
-
@stillwaiting
I called 916-845-6500. The wait time was about 5 minutes even though the automated system stated 30-50 minute wait time. Ask if there are any adjustments, offsets or documents that may be needed.I had an offset even though I called another 1-800 number to verify days before, but I guess that’s why I had initially a 1 month review before my authorized date.
Hey, but I just received my fed refund with a DDD of 2/7 just now. Lol I will have to wait for my paper state refund now.
Good luck
-
I think I f’d up. I called the hotline and spoke with a nice lady with a very heavy accent and things got very confusing and I was put in hold a few times. I wanted to verify the address and make sure there are no off sets.
I filed 1/11 was accepted and wmr says issues 2/1 but still no DD.
By the end of the conversation the only info that was clear is yes they received my tax forms…uuumm yeah I already knew that.So I sit and wait.
-
OK UPDATE
I called the 800# (thank you for the info!) and talked to a very nice lady who asked me a few questions on our W2’s, etc…and then said she processed it and is putting it through?? is this the new normal? we have never had to do that before!?
-
Not sure how people who got authorized after me have already gotten their refund and I’m still waiting for mine to hit my account…
-
Ok. My return was filed and accepted on 1/29. I checked the website on 1/29 and it said that my refund is processing and to give it 1 month. The next day on 1/30 my status changed to my refund was authorized on 1/29. And today I finally received my state check in the mail. I hope everybody receives theirs fast. It will come.
-
@showmethemoney ..well i got the letter about them taking funds today..but no damn check. Funny thing is the letter was just sent on the 5th..so who knows when check will show! Lol
-
Filed 1/20 and accepted 1/30 and was left on the processing and the 1 month thing. So I finally called the (916) number yesterday around 3pm. Got through within 2 minutes and talked to a really nice lady who put me on hold for about 2 min. She told me my state taxes were under review and to verify the amount I was getting. She then said I should be seeing a DD in a couple of weeks if the amount I verified was correct on their end. Checked this morning at 7, and was authorized and issued (2/6)! Has anyone gotten their DD earlier than the 10 or 5 days? Hoping I get it beginning of next week. Thanks to the person who suggested calling this number!
-
Finally updated this morning accepted 1/31 Approved DD 2/6
-
@ Sean did they give you any reason?
-
@bubblygrl — i’m in the same boat, except they told me 6-8 weeks over phone for DD.
No idea why it would take so long
-
Hello, My taxes were accepted 2-3-18, it now states that it is processing and could take up to 1 month to receive the return? I have DD anyone file the same day and get their $$ yet?
-
@waitingncali
My taxes were accepted on 01/29. I checked this morning and still says processing. Thinking to call like everyone else has done.
-
Return Received by CA state on 1-26-18 and has been stuck in processing status
On 2-7-18 I called 916-845-7088 then options 1-1-0. Sat on hold for less than 5 min
Was asked a bunch of questions and told she was able to verify everything over the phone and should expect our DD in 2-4 weeks.
I will update again when ‘Processing’ status changes to ‘Issued’
Married filed jointly

Accepted 1/25Got the 1 month message. Called and verified information over the phone. Was told everything was fine but I was in manual review and to allow them 2-4 weeks.
Got issue date of 2/2
DD today 2/7 -
I just called, told there were no mistakes but it should take 6-8 weeks to be processed as it’s their normal timeframe for state returns. Barf
-
My refund was authorized on 2/1 and I still haven’t received my DD as of this moment… I don’t get what’s taking so long – I don’t have any tax obligations to the state
And so I continue to wait -_-
-
Still no dd date I faxed everything yesterday
-
Got my refund date.
Follow the advices here and call the number mentioned if your status shows one month message.
I did and faxed the W2 and pay stubs they requested and now got my refund date after being stuck for almost 10 days. -
Never mind just hit my account thank you Lord now just waiting for fed still processing
-
Website hasn’t updated for me yet BUT I now have a pending DD for tonight! 😁 thank goodness!! I hope everyone gets answers soon.

-
Issued 2/1
DD into account around 11pm 2/6
5 days from issued does appear to be the average
Best of luck to those waiting -
@Don dowell
Are you calling the right number?
The correct number to call is: 916-845-7088.
I am self-employed like you. I don’t know about anyone else but when I called I asked the representative if he/she could please tell me if I had any documents that needed submitted so that my return could finish processing. When he/she told me that there was none needed to be submitted at the time, I asked could he/she be able to push my return through. One person told me that they could see if they could but then stated that they couldn’t touch it. Therefore, I knew there was a waiting period before it could be process.
I called numerous of times with the same line..LOL. -
Mine still hasn’t been issued and it was approved on 1/31. What number is everyone calling?
-
@show me the money. Youre welcome! Yea i dont know whats up with ca this year. I dont even understand how i could have an offset if i was never notified about it in the first place! Also why did it take me so many calls to get my refund moving..nothing has changed in my life for 6 years. Same house, job, kids..lol anyways at least we know i suppose… Welcome to the snail mail club! Nothing like waiting for a check to come in the mail! Hah
-
@waitingncali ugh looks like we’re in the same boat! Frantic mail checkers lol I just called FTB and they said there weren’t any offsets on my account but for some reason my check is being mailed. I could have sworn my tax preparer selected DD for both refunds! They did say I should have it no later than 2/15 but I was hoping it would be closer to my Fed DDD of 2/7. Thanks for the help!
-
I keep seeing people saying they called And had there refund pushed thru what do I say to get them to do that for me they keep telling me 8 to 12 weeks cuz I’m self employed
-
that state number answers fast. i called got through in 2 minutes after pressing 1-1-0.. asked rep if he needed anything…verified a couple questions and he processed it for me…now i will see how long…. he said 2-4 weeks but everyone is saying 5 days… fingers crossed
-
@noluckyet Thank you!
-
@waitongncali
Snail mail usually takes 4-6 days not counting sun. But it all depends on details. Like the time it was dropped into the mailbox, what time got to the mailhhouse, did it just missed the truck thats going to ur location, what time doea the mailman delivers to ur house. If u get lucky u could have it by tomorrow or thursday. But youll have it by the en of the week or monday for sure. Anyways good luck. -
@djdlash let me know when yours shows in the mail! Ill be checkin every morning ..stalking the mail lady! Haha. As for fed you should get it soon! Mine wont be here til after the 15th as i had the additional child tax credits.
-
So I was accepted 1/26 and have eitc, have been in processing.
I called today and turns out they couldn’t verify my income, had to fax my 1099-K.
So if you drive for Lyft/Uber you may want to call and see if they need yours. I’m gonna check back tomorrow and see if they need anything else they didn’t mention, but I figure if she didn’t list it when she said she needed my 1099 then likely not.
-
@waitingncali
Now I’ll be checking my mail like I was checking the refund site lol. Hopefully my fed DD comes in this week. I have a DDD of 2/7 and I bank with BofA. I don’t know whether it will be tomorrow or the day after. Oh man, crossing my fingers. -
@djdlash i get it. Im in the same boat. I disint even know i had an offset! But mine was issued on 1/31 and now im waiting for my check in the mail. My question is..how long does it ACTUALLY take..lol
-
@waitingncali.
I actually spent my rent money.!!! Im in my 20’s lol. At least i know not to wait for californias, since i owe more than 1500 over a stupid disable parking ticket i got at work i didnt even know about that went up to 1548. So i know they gonna take my following year refunds. Ugh. Gotta love cali. Does anybody know if (for the federal) they said your refund will be sent to you bank on 2/7, Means i get it that day or i gotta wait for the bank to release it to me which can be on the 8th or 9th ugh ugh ugh. I called the bank and they say they dont see anything coming in or getting rejected. I have bofa btw. My dd from work is usually in at 1201 always. Been up till 1a for the past 3 days. And i work at 4a everyday. Lol. Like i said im in my 22yo so i can handle now. But ugh ugh ugh stressful -
Has anyone who had their CA return issued on 2/1/18 receive their Direct Deposit yet ?? I called the FTB and they said every thing checks out fine and I should see my direct deposit with 7 business days but I am just getting anxious because it’s taking so long. I hope I don’t get an offset. I already received my Federal return on Saturday 2/3.
-
Ok, so I received an approved date of 1/31 but did not receive a DD today. I called for any offsets, and yes I had my student loan that was paid off. The rest of the refund is going to be mailed (2 weeks). So, if have an approved date of 1/31 or earlier and have not received a DD yet, call and ask. Now, I have to wait for the paper check. Mmmmmm
-
Anyone received there State Return without the website updating ?
-
@mar are you saying your state was issued on 1/29 or accepted on 1/29 . and yes lots have gotten cali refunds already!
-
My taxes were accepted on Jan. 29th. I have not gotten a state fund yet. As far as Fed refund, I know they are not releasing it till mid-February because I have a child tax credit.
Anyone received their state refund yet? Or how long it is suppose to be? I was told 1-12 business days then told 7-21 days.
-
@showmethemoney. Yes I always get dd. My state was issued on 1/31. I was expecting my dd last night and it didnt happen. So i called ftb and they said i had an offset sith dmv. So that automatically puts me in the paper check club. Trust me i dont want to be in this club! So now ill be frantically checking the mail everyday!
-
@waitiningncali I really hope that’s not the case. Did you request DD when you filed? I checked with my tax preparer and she confirmed she set both Fed and State up for DD. I’ve never had mine mailed before. Wonder why the change if it is in fact being mailed. Strange. Thanks for the info! I have a Fed DDD of 2/7.
-
@noluckyet i just got off the phone with them 30 minutes ago. I cant beleive they are doin it over dmv bullshit. Im sure they took yours too..sorry…im not happy either. My dumbass already spent the money that was coming and now i screwed myself. I shouldnt have..but i did. I just with there was a way to know when the damn check will show. There is no way it takes 2 flippin weeks to mail..grrr!
-
@waitiningncali
When was that? I got my refund authorized the same day as you, i was expecting it today as well, But no luck. I owe the dmv more than my refund amount. My federal is supposed to hit tomorrow. Wonder if they gon do the same.
FML! -
@showmethemoney you are probably waiting for a paper check as well. Seems like those of us still waiting are having same issues. I just called tax boasrd and they just decided to tell me mine is coming by mail. Due to an offset i didnt evwn know i had. Mine was issued the 31st so who knkws when it will actually come. They told me 2 weeks..but usually doesnt take that long…
-
CA refund issued on 1/30 but no DDD yet. I know the site says to allow 10 business days but it seems like most people are getting theirs within 5 days. Any other insight from those issued on the same date???
-
@pearl im wo dering the same thing. Mine was issued on 1/31 and i just found out mine is getting mailed. Id love to know the actual tine frame. Tax board told me 2 weeks. Im hoping it isnt that long…
-
@Sean
It went FROM ‘processing’ TO ‘received’? It went backwards?
-
@waitingncali — thanks for info. mine updated from “processing” to “received” overnight.
Hopefully it moves to “approved” tomorrow
-
Does anyone know how long after they issue a paper check, how long it actually takes to gst to you. Of course they said 2 weeks. Lol
@sean. Ftb updates overnight
-
What time does FTB update each day?
-
Well i figured out why i didnt get my dd. Dmv took some money for a broke down car that i didnt pay the tags on. So im waitong for the remainer of my refund to come via mail. Fun stuff! Lol
-
So as for calling the number everyone has called. No one is getting the same results. I got send in info copy of ss card for child and I plus birth certificate for child and proof of residency for child in 2017 and wait 5 days to process. Have the one month message. Have tried calling back same ole response wait five days. Filed on 26 of Jan. After 5 days will call.
-
@mari808. Congrats!!! Mine still hasnt hit my acct. Aghhh..guess my greendot card isnt so quick this year!
-
I filed on Sunday for my state and federal and it was excepted that same day. Today State show that my refund is being processed. I have a house and child deductions.
-
I just got off the sacramento number they told me because I’m self employed it will take 8 to 12 weeks to get my refund anyone else go thru this and is there anything I can to get it fastet
-
I called the number and the sweetest lady assisted me. I answered a few questions and was advised my return will be pushed through the system.
-
Anyone with child tax credits delayed on getting a refund?
-
What number are people calling? I keep getting transferred to the automated system.
-
I requested a check and my refund was authorized on jan 29. Today is Feb 6 and I still have not received it. Does anybody know how long it usually takes to receive it by mail.
-
I had dreaded 1 month message for whole week now and called yesterday.
Was asked to fax in W2 and year end stub which I did.
I called again today and was told that they received it and allow 2 to 4 weeks for refund to process.
FML -
I have been checking status on the FTB wheres my refund tool but I only see ‘Recieved’ ‘Processing’ and ‘Issued’ No mention of ‘Authorized’ as people keep saying on this thread.
Mine has been at ‘Processing’ since 2/1/2018, and it was accepted/recieved on 1/30/18. How long were you guys stuck on ‘processing’?
-
HR Block software
1/29 accepted
1/31 processingCalled 916-845-7088
Just got off the phone with a very nice lady, she told mine was pulled for manual review, ask me a few questions, and sent it thru, should have a DD by end of week! -
To the self employed persons with eic. Just an update. I called this morning and it was processed yesterday. Customer service stated the website should have an update by the end of this week and I should get my refund within 2-4 weeks. So try calling to see if you had any movement.
-
This might help some people (and hopefully it’s true for me haha)…..
Just got off the phone with a rep. She stated my return was processed on the 1st and submitted for issuance on the 2nd. She stated to give it up to 2 weeks to receive my funds. I asked why the system hadn’t been updated through the website and she said it should’ve but maybe they just haven’t updated it. She said nothing was pending for me and if I requested a DD then I should have it before the end of the week. -
Filed 1/27, accepted 1/30. “Cannot province any info on your return” until I called on 2/2 and asked what was going on. Updated on 2/3 to processing. I’m really hoping I get it this week.. any insight? I need some hope!
-
Has anyone received a DD without the site updating that it was sent ? That happen with my Federal. My Federal was DD into my bank account on Friday and WMR updated that it was approved this past Saturday to be DD on 2/7 but as you can see I received it way before 2/7 but unfortunately that has not been the case for my State so far as it’s still showing processing and for me to wait for one month.
By the way both my Federal and State was filled and accepted 1/29.
I remember last year I had the same problem with State, I didn’t receive it until April. -
Authorized 1/31 and had DD this morning
-
Still no dd issued on February 1 I’m starting to wonder why its not on my card I filed with turbo tax got the green dot card
-
Filed and accepted 1/29. Approved 1/31. Did not receive DD today. Still waiting. Anyone else?
-
Approved 1/31
DD posted slightly before 2 a.m. Pacific time 2/6 -
I was approved on February 1 still no dd I’m starting to worry
-
@mari808. When we’re you approved
-
DD just hit 🎉
-
If mine was approved on the 1st of February will my DD be on my card on Wednesday February 7th at 1201am that’s five buisness days from my approval date
-
CA. Accepted 1/29. Approved 1/31. Received in bank account 12:01 AM 2/6/18.
-
I’m not sure if the 5 days is new or just the norm this tax season. Based on the responses in this forum, it was about 5 days.
-
When is California going to become their own country?
-
Ineedmymoneynow
I have always received my state refund within 2-3 days of filing. This whole 5 day wait must be new. I’m counting on it being in my account tomorrow.
-
Nicole85
Issued means it was authorized and sent to the Controller for payment. It’s typically 5 days for them to send the payment -
1/31 authorized dates should hit the bank tomorrow. The deposit was with my bank but the funds will be released tomorrow. Authorized means it was sent to the Controller to issue payment. It’s typically 5 days, including saturdays for payment. Yes, they issues DD on Saturday as well. If you were authorized 2/1, you should hopefully see DD on Wednesday. Call you bank the day before and they can verify if the deposit is pending.
-
I talked to a rep this morning who told me to wait for a letter in the mail about sending back information about my dependents. Do I really have to wait for this letter or can I just talk to a different rep and possibly fax the information in???
-
@don417 go back a few pages until you see myself..Victoria333 and 420 commenting..we all went thru it this year..you will also see the better number to call and what worked for all of us. Good luck n dont give up!
-
Cali accepted my return on the 22nd of January. When will it update to issued???
-
I just got of the phone with ftb the man told me up to 12 weeks for processing. Anyone ever had it take this long in the past? I filed with tt jan23rd it was accepted the 30th and know I’m caught in processing.
-
@kmc2611 (waitingncali)
It’s almost 5! 👀👀☺️
-
I don’t understand why it will take that long? is it sent somewhere else first? then to you’re bank? if not, since it’s automated it should be received right away, especially with an account like mine. My bank do not hold any type of deposit, as soon as it hits the account, it’s made available to me. When it says “issued”, I don’t think it’s to the account, I think that perhaps it’s to another department, then to the accounts. I could be wrong, however, anything more then 48 hours seems off.
-
@nicole85. Everyone says about 5 days. Mine was issued on 1/31 and i still dont have it. I have a prepaod card and i wouldve thought it would be deposited by now..but no such luck.
-
Hello everyone, I have a quick question.
My CA retrun was issued on 02/01/18. Should I be exspecting it soon or will it take the full 10 days?.
-
@NB – thanks for the help. I’ll keep an eye on it.
-
@Sean, just FYI, that’s the date they have now on the website on when they approved it, but I don’t think the website itself is updated right away, it takes a couple of days before you can see it on their “where is my refund” tool.
-
@NB – wow — two days from accepted to approved! CA is moving fast this year
-
26th – Prepared through H&R online
26th – Filed federal
29th – Filed CA (some forms just became accepted)
31st – CA Approved / issued
3rd – Federal Approved with DD of Feb 7thregular job W2, no kids, no mortgage, itemized deductions, HSA, nothing crazy
-
@Dee. Thank you. Ive been stressing that it’s not coming. Lol i too had mine sent the 31st and i haven’t got it yet. Usually i get mine by now as i use my prepaid card for deposits!
-
How quickly does it generally move from Accepted to Approved?
-
Filed 1/16 accepted 1/17 approved 1/31 and used taxact. My bank sees the direct deposit but I.T won’t be released to me until this evening or early tomorrow morning but for all those that got approved 1/31 you should see deposits tonight or tomorrow morning depending on refund method :)
-
Im thinking at this point it has to be later today or morning. Im hoping were not waiting til friday. Ughh just give us our money! Lol
-
😭😭 hopefully all 1/31 issue dates hit tonight and early morning 🤞🏽
-
Approved 1/31
Still no DD.
-
I guess I need to call again today. Still nothing updated and both times I called they stated everything was good to go. :-/
-
@mari808. Still nothing…
-
Accepted 1/29, Approved 1/31
No DD yet in my BofA
Hopefully tomorrow? -
My state refund said it was issued 2-1 but it may take up to ten business days to process. I went through H&R Block and chose direct deposit to the Emerald card. Does anyone know if it will take the full 10 days or if it will be sooner?
-
Hey Everyone,
Filed 2/3
Accepted 2/4How long are state approvals taking this year?
-
Just checked my bank account, and my CA State refund is there.
Filed on 1/26/18
Accepted on 1/29/18
Approved on 1/30/18 -
I’m confused so how long does it take to get your ca state refund dd? Mine was accepted Jan 30th.
-
Still no dd on my state refund either that was issued February 1
-
I’m not talking about my state if you read what I said I put my federal my state has already been issued
-
DFTT!
-
I thought you said you’re state refund was already issued???. If it’s being processed then it has not been issued. Once it says “issued you’ll get it 2-5 days after.
-
@waitingncali
Anything on your end yet 👀
-
Hello anyone I just tried tracking my fed refund on IRS where’s my refund and this is what it says doesn’t even show the bar with accepted approved and sent has anyone ever got this message and is this a bad thing.
Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.
-
Past 12am still no dd this is so annoying I hate Cali
-
Between 12am and 6am.
-
Will it be at 12am Monday morning
-
You will get you’re refund Monday morning or Tuesday morning !
-
Have you received your state return yet mine was issued on February 1 and still no dd
-
@tam. Thank you for your response! Yes definitely puts my mind at ease lol since I still haven’t had any movement on federal either but no offset code so I’m thinking I may be resequenced. Thank you again!
-
stop stressing out about refunds lol, it will come!
-
@waitingncali
Nope nothing yet. Hopefully in the next couple hrs 🤞🏽
-
@mari808. Anything yet??
-
Olivia, calm down. Everyone is here to give info to one another, you’re not the only person waiting for their refunds. I am in the same situation as you. Accepted 1/19/18, finally issued the state 2/3 and I used turbo tax and greendot. Don’t use the whole free speech thing, go to Facebook for that type of conversation. Bye Felicia.👋👋👋
-
@Patientlywaiting&lurking
I just wanted to comment on your situation. Having funds seized for county court fees will NOT affect your federal return. I’ve had this happen to me before ugh but I hope that gives you some peace of mind.
I’m patiently waiting on my return.
TacAct filed 1/22
Accepted 1/23
CA says processing with 1month wait time! Ya!! :) lol -
Look lady, Olivia Farmer there’s no need for your attitude. We are all on this site for the same reason support and give each other info. If you don’t like it then don’t reply.
I’m being perfectly honest with my info no need to be called a liarState accepted 1/29 issued and approved 1/30 refund hit my bank 2/3 used turbo tax no card
Federal acccepted 1/29 woke up on Friday with a direct deposit day of 2/6
This is the last time I’ll give you this info so take it like you want it
-
Olivia farmer
You’re arguing with the wrong people. I’m just providing the information, I didn’t create the process. The pilot group doesn’t apply to all, as I stated some. In addition, I filed 1/30/18 and I have a federal refund date of 2/7/18. You want accurate information, call IRS & FTB. I’m over trying to help ease your frustration as everyone on here is frustrated in some form waiting on their refund. Have a great night and a better Sunday. -

First off I can say what I want it’s a free country second off I have the same message mine was accepted on the 17 of January and so was my state the IRS still did not officially accept returns until the 29th of January so I don’t know how people are saying they already have a direct deposit date for there fed or state where do you see a date showing when funds are going to be deposited and also how are people getting there returns when the official file date was January 29th the only reason people were accepted early was for the IRS testing program
-
Olivia farmer
Every year the IRS has a pilot group that they accept refunds prior to the official date. So it is possible that people were accepted and received their refund already. If they filed early, these people were most likely approved prior to the 29th. Some people didn’t make the pilot program but those that did were probably simple returns 1040A/EZ -
My refund was Authorized on 1/31. Has anyone received their refund for this authorization date.
-
@Olivia farmer This is my TurboTax time/date line for my federal that I copied and pasted from the website. As you can see my return was accepted on the 23rd. I know you want you’re money, WE ALL do, however, there’s no need to come on here calling people liars. This is a process that’s not set in stone, for some people the process is different, which ends up working in their favor. However, for most, it a frustrating process. You’re MONEY is coming.

I also called the number and they said that the money was released to my county to be sent out but fbs says it was issued what does this mean also I don’t know how people are saying they received there return already the it’s didn’t start officially accepting returns until January 29th 2018
-
@wheresnydamnrefund
What service did you use to file I used turbo tax and got there prepaid card which is through green dot and I don’t know how everyone is getting there’s early they didn’t start accepting until the 29th of January so how are you guys getting your refund someone said they already got there fed refund you guys are lying to me -
@Olivia farmer
About 3 to 5 business days
I got my refund approved and issued on 1/30 and my direct deposit today 2/3 -
We authorized your refund on Thursday, February 01, 2018.
Still have not received dd does anyone know how long it takes
-
I’m still waiting to this sucks it was issued on February 1 st
-
Dang im still waiting for dd. Was sent 1/31…Im startinf to stress now. Lol
-
California is very wierd, when it comes to low income (anything below $30,000) the more poor you are the more money you get while the fed is the other way (for low income), with the fed the less money you make the lower your refund while the higher your income the more refund you get. It’s very wierd.
But I feel the liberals of this state are proud of this difference. You got to the Cali EITC estimator and it actually highlights the state’s difference to the feds, like the liberals are so proud they give more money then the fed to the most poor. It’s no wonder this state is getting more and more in debt, it needs a good Republican leadership for a change. That system of giving more money to people who make less can’t sustain itself for long.
-
How long should it say processing and when will I get it after it say says issued any help will be really appreciated first time filing. Thank you.
-
Checked my status today and it states my CA refund was intercepted by my county for a court ordered debt. Does anyone know if they can take my federa as well? I don’t even know what it’s for I have to cal Monday to find out. Ugh
-
@waitingncali No nothing yet :( And I’m anxious as heck lol I’ve never used Greendot before but from what i gather they deposit early morning (3-4) and also in the evening 5-6). Fingers crossed for this evening 🤞🏽
-
@mari808..have you gotten ur deposit yet? I keep checking but nothings there. All of my deposits always come early , not sure why this one hasnt hit yet!
-
well after being told yesterday my account was on hold for a random review, I woke up today with it issued with yesterday’s date. At least I know it’s on it’s way…just waiting on deposit
-
Accepted 1/29
But still stuck in processing.
Same federal tax is accepted and to be deposited on 2/6.This is the first time where CA is taking longer than federal for me in 10+ years.
-
@Olivia farmer It can take up to 10 days, however, for many it will not take that long. As one commenter said, it can be 5 days max, nevertheless, from years of experience it does not even take that long, that is of course from the time it was issued. If it was issued on February 1st, it’s very likely to hit you’re account on Monday or Tuesday morning.
-
@waitingncali
You and me both. I have Greendot also and my issue date was 1/31 fingers crossed for this evening if not I hope I.T will for sure be in my account Monday.
-
My issued date is 1/31..and still no dd for me..im crossing my fingers for monday! Im also hoping it posts to my acct later today as i have green dot, and they are know to do that. Congrats to everyone with deposits!

No EITC/ACTC -
I filed 1/28, accepted 1/30 and up until yesterday I had a message that said “cannot provide information about your return, please check processing times”. I decided to call the FTB yesterday and since I changed my filing status from mfj to hoh, their system created a new account for me. The man was very helpful and kind, and merged my two accounts. Today shows processing.. hopefully I get it soon!!
-
Can any one please let me know how long dd takes my state return was issued on February 1 2018 says 10 buisness days to be DD is that true its February 3 now
-
Thank you…
Mine
Filed 1/26
Accepted 1/27
Approved 1/31
No DD as of 12:48 am 2/3. -
@Nicole Alise Roach @wheresmydamnrefund was approved on 1/30/18 I seen the pervious post.
-
@Nicole Alise Roach
yes my refund was approved on Tuesday January 30. -
*was yours approved
-
@wheresmydamnrefund
When a yours approved? Mine was approved 1/31.
-
Check your bank accounts!!! I just got my deposit around 11pm
-
I realized I made a mistake and mine was accepted 1/30. I just realized it tonight after seeing how many people got refunds. Should I call that number?
-
5 days is still too long ! I have never, ever ! experienced a delay like this, with federal or state, I always got both of my returns back within 3-4 days a filing. I know it’s coming, as i suspect everyone else does, however, it’s frustrating when you have bills to pay and kids to take care of.
-
Don’t panic people! It’s 5 days max including weekends. I filed 1/23 approved 1/24 got my refund 1/29 and yes I initially got the “1 month Message” disappeared the next day to approved and processed.
-
TurboTax sent 1/30/18
Accepted 1/30/18
Approved 1/31/18
DD sent within 10 days.I just called the FTB and my processing has been fully completed and my refund amount was authorized and sent to the comptrollers office for payment. The guy couldn’t give me a date, other than he is required to say within 10 days. He did ask if I checked my account today and I said it wasn’t there. He said to check again tomorrow and “at the latest” Monday….
-
Just got off the phone
Sent 1/30
Accepted /130
Approved 1/31Guys said he couldn’t tell me the date other than the within 10 days (and that it will be much quicker than that). All he could say was to check tomorrow and Monday morning. Said my return is done with the FTB and was sent to the comptrollers office to send the money….
-
I have always gotten my state for the last 10 years DD within 5 days of filling. This year got that 1 month message. Called as suggested and they said everything is processed but I’m under review and expect DD in 2-4 weeks. Said they didn’t need any information and I just need to wait. Boo
-
This is the message I got this morning “We authorized your refund on Thursday, February 01, 2018.” I spoke with someone yesterday when I was still in the processing status, she told me that it will take 12 weeks before I got to the issued status, wrong, something happened very quickly. Anyway, My question is. What does “issued” mean? did they issue it to my bank? or did they issue it to another department, so that department can issue it to me? This is my TurboTax time/date line.

@MaLavellan
Yes…I believe this might be a normal waiting period for us Self Employed persons that are claiming eitc. I am also self employed and am claiming eitc for the first time this year. You are not alone. I am happy that we are finally able to claim the tax credit this year but am confused about the state process. I would say make the call to FTB like 420 and waitingncali suggested.
You may have better luck in finding out what is going on but it seems as though the state is not telling us anything. We don’t know if and what kind of documents to send for verification and how long the way is for the this implemented new law. -
Mine was filed & accepted on January 31st. Refund was issued February 1st, and it’s saying to wait 10 days to receive my refund.
-
Filed 1/10
Approved on 1/29
I called today after seeing others got dd and the guy on the phone said it shows it will go in my bank on the 5th -
I got in touch with a very nice rep yesterday afternoon, and she said she would push it through the processing and it should be DD in 2-4 weeks, but maybe sooner. I asked if the website would reflect this, and she said yes after she processes it. She put me on hold and came back and asked me some general questions about my return. Has anyone gone through this and was told the 2-4 weeks, and then received the DD yet? I’m hoping it comes sooner than that!
-
Hi guys, I’m new here and a bit confused.
Accepted 1/26, still showing as processing.This is my first year getting a state refund, self employed and eitc. I don’t know what’s an acceptable time to wait/if I should be concerned? I’m not expecting federal for some time but, is it normal to be processing any “X” amount of time? Should it be right away? I’ve seen a few posts here that suggest so. Sorry for the newbie questions!
-
Just an update, I was approved for refund on 1/30 and still haven’t received it yet. Hopefully tomorrow. If not, Monday/Tuesday will be the days.
-
Please tell me why I call again and she said it was just reviewed today and i should receive refund in 4-8 weeks. I called a couple of days ago and they told me they reviewed it that day.
-
Just like last year once they pulled me from the improper withholding group because mine wasn’t wrong, and they processed it like they said they did I am approved the next morning. Approved 1/01/18. Says 10 days. I usually get mine in 2-3 because my Bank posts pending deposits
-
Still not damn state deposit! UGH
Well I’ll give it until tomorrow. Technically it does say 10 days but for us, 1 day equals 2 tax days. LOL -
Filed 1/28, approved 1/30, no DD as of this morning. Does the FTB do DD’s on Friday’s? Curious if it may show up tomorrow morning or if it won’t be until next week.
-
Filed – 1/20
Refund Auth – 1/29
DD Received – 2/2 💃🏻💃🏻Now the wait for my Federal begins. Good luck everyone and hopefully those still waiting get their DD soon.
-
authorized 1/30, no DD yet today 2/2/18
-
Meant to say
approved 1/29
DD 2/2
(5 days counting approval day) -
Filed 1/18 accepted 1/19 had the one month message. Had to call 4 times until I got the right rep that pushed it though.
Approved 1/29 DD 2/1 that’s 5 Days counting my approval day.
Glad it’s over this year. Remember to save this phone number for next year and Aloha bitches!!

Accepted 01/18/18 issued February 1st 2018 says takes ten business days to be dd is that true

I got my authorization February 1 and its saying im going to get it within 10 business days. with past experience, does anyone remember how long it really took them.
-
You’re welcome @Fan4grim happy spending.
Here’s that number again for all the newbies
(916) 845-7088
This is the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) tax compliance hotline straight to Sacramento. The number will come printed on any snail mail they may send you.
I learned about this number last year when it became apparent that my withholding was not reported correctly. I was given the number by a tax advocate. I kept the number in case the same thing happened this year, which it did, and @Waitingncali I sure as shit hope it doesn’t end up every year like this.
To those of you with the child credits, there actually is a new state law requiring a waiting period and extra verifications to prevent identity fraud and fraudulent filings.
It’s still a good idea for anyone not seeing the 2-4 week standard return message to call this number and get verification over the phone that your taxes have been corrected and completed.
Unless, you really just like waiting around for government mail to show up 2 months from now that requires a bunch of document gathering faxing and mailing and MORE WAITING.Don’t give up. Call as many times as you can handle it until they tell you it’s been processed.
Just be extra polite and help others that you know in Cali with this problem.
Pay it forward and happy spending!!! -
@vp every night except saturday and sunday nights
-
How often does the site update for Cali state returns?
-
@impatient I got my state refund last year on a Friday, so if everyone’s math is right and it takes 4-5 days after the approval, then tomorrow should be it. Come back and post in the morning either way.
-
I filed 1/23 accepted on 1/27. Has the one month message yesterday and I checked today and it said it couldn’t give me any information so I called the number and the rep told me it’s done procsssing with the amount that I’m getting back(didn’t change) and said I’m just waiting for a DD.
-
@Dynasty
Yes, most definitely!
-
Filed / accepted 1/29. Refund authorized 1/29 as well. No DD as of yet.
@cali gurl, I’m in the same boat as you. Hopefully, tomorrow a.m.! -
@WishingOnAStar
That’s exactly what I was told today, so maybe there is a waiting period for us self-employed…if you hear anything, keep me posted please!!! Thank you
-
@Dynasty
I see that you are self employed and claiming eict. I am doing the same. This the very first year that California is letting us “self employed” persons to file with earned income tax credit. This law is new for this year. Therefore, I think that there may be a wait period for us….I think. However, I am going to do what waitingcali says and to keep calling. I just got off the phone with another person that put me hold and was going to try to expedite it but when he came back on the phone, he stated he was unable to push it through any faster. Sooooo….I will continue to call. -
Thank you 420! Called. Same issue as last year. All fixed. She is processing it right now!!
-
@dynasty sounds like your in the same boat i just got out of. Go through the past few days comments. You will have to call daily.Be persistent and it will happen! Just keep calling back! Also make surr your calling the # that 420 posted. They can do more for you than the main number. But..you will see it took me almost 5 days..and one person finally got most of.mine done and the person i talked to the next day was able to finish and push it through. So dont lose hope. Just keep calling and it will happen!
-
I just got off the phone with a nice gentleman. He asked me several questions regarding previous employers, tax years, etc. He asked to place me on hold to see if he can process my return of not, then he came back to the line and stated it can be 8 weeks until my return is processed?????? WTF…why??? Anyone know what’s happening with Ftb?? I provided all accurate information….Self employed, eitc..please help anyone! Thank you in advance!
-
@wishingonastar yes it does keep you busy! But it was such a relief when i finally got some movement. Im not stressed at all, now that im just waitong for the dd. We k ow we have to wait on fed..but i wasnt gonna wait on state. Lol and neither should you. If you dont call, they wont do shit! Lol just keep at it..even though its frustrating! You will get yours, just have a little hope and patience!
-
Filed 1/29, accepted same day. The next day I received a message stating it can take 1 month to process. I called (916) 845-7088 to ask if I needed to complete id verification, or if the one month to process was standard. She put me on hold, and when she came back she advised me that I needed to fax proof for my dependant (my natural born son). She requested a copy of his birth certificate, both of our social security cards, and a letter from his doctor or school to prove his address is the same as mine. She assured me that once this information was received, my tax return would be processed. I got very lucky on the first try and received a very nice agent who was very willing to help. I would suggest calling because it doesn’t hurt.
-
@waitingncali
Ok I will definitely try again later today and tomorrow. At least it’s keeping me busy while waiting on the FED Taxes! LOL!
Thank you so much! -
@fan4grim 1-1-0
To everyone else that thinks waiting is a good idea, it isn’t. Call, place call on hold, call on other line and keep calling. Lol
-
@420 what option do I press when calling? Thank you
-
@wishingonastar.. Just keep calling ..you will eventually get the right rep! It took 2 diff reps to start n finish mine…but they were the most helpful out of the 9 i talked to. Dont wait til monday..keep pushing- it will happen! I’m proof..lol..im waiting for mine to hit my acct now! I like this waiting game better..than the wtf’s goin on game! Lol good luck!!
-
@Kean Bunya
Guesstimate 4 to 5 business days, maybe 2 days sooner if you have of of those debit cards like NetSpend. -
I am going to start calling back next week to see if I can get more help to push it through. I really don’t know whats going on. I hope to get lucky like the rest of you. :-)
-
Well…well….well. Now I am going through the same thing as Waitingncali was going through. I am told it will be 12 weeks to process and there’s nothing to do at this rime bu they will call me if they need anything. WT???
I am going to give it until Monday because it looks like they noted my account that I called 2 days ago. LOL!! -
Ok so I was approved with a date of 1/31/2018 how long does it take for the funds to hit the account? Thoughts?
-
She corrected it! Will be getting less than I thought but it’s okay! Said I should have DD within a week.
-
Currently on hold, apparently there is a discrepancy on my return.
Have had the one month message since I filed on 1/22/18.
Lady said she is going to try to fix it & push it through. Here’s to hoping. Fingers crossed 🤞 -
@Cali Gurl you and me both. 🤞 I will update tomorrow as well.
-
@420 if my DD isn’t in my account tomorrow I’m going to be pissed. I’ll post an update tomorrow morning, keeping fingers crossed 😁
-
@davidinNYC I got approved the same day 1/29 I have a day early card and so far nothing for me today 2/1. Not to rain on your bachelor party or anything. Btw congrats!🍾🎉🎈
-
@wheresmydamnrefund I just did a back search for @Victoria333 and looked to see when hers was authorized. She was authorized on 1/29, and received it last night (1/31). She had it on her netspend which I think is usually a day faster if I am correct. So if I was approved 1/30– should be tomorrow or Saturday by that standard… hopefully!
-
@fan4grim call the tax compliance number (916) 845-7088 and tell them what you just said, that last your you had incorrect withholding reported and you want to make sure that that isn’t happening this year as well.
All that is happening with the 1 month message is an issue that can be fixed quickly over the phone. They say 1 month so that you may receive a letter in snail mail with that number printed on it telling you to call and verify some things. UNLESS someone gets off their ass, catches the error, and corrects it without needing to verify you.
If they don’t help you the first time call and call again. -
@Fan4grim
I would call again and speak to another rep. -
@DavidNYC
I believe someone said it hit their bank account at 4 or 5 days after being issued. So it may not hit your bank account until maybe Monday or Tuesday of next week. or who knows maybe this Saturday the 3rd…. -
Got the 1 month message the other day. Just called. They said it is in 12 week processing??? Why does it say 1 month if it is 12 weeks. I got the 3 month message last year, called a number someone on here gave me and was told it was improperly put with the returns with withholding issues that mine didn’t have so he fixed it and the next day the refund was issued. I called the regular number today and this guy telling me 12 weeks made me feel worse
-
Filed and accepted 1/29
Refund Authorized 1/30
same 10 day message
I have never had anything turnaround so quickly. It’s absolutely amazing. Does anyone know whether it takes the full 10 days or when I should expect it? I have my bachelor party this weekend, it would be awesome if I had it for that!
-
sorry meant 1/30/18 ***
lol
-
Refund issued and approved on Tuesday 02/30/2018 but no direct deposit yet.
Im hoping tommorrow or saturday -
@caligirl same here dude like seriously WTF?!
-
@CACristina mine updated this morning that my refund was issued as of yesterday. Wondering what date that means I’ll get the deposit. You called and they processed you the other day too right? Maybe try calling again since there still isn’t an update for you? Hopefully yours comes through updated by tomorrow
-
I had the one month message yesterday and my refund was approved today. I did not call or do anything. I had decided to wait until Friday before I did that. The one month may just be a place holder while processing since I have seen other people post the same.
-
Alright everyone i finally got an email that my CA was accepted checked the web and said it’s processig and that i have to wait up to “one month” sheesh took me two weeks to get to this point but y’all kept me sane 🙌🏽 Haha now i just hope i don’t really have to wait a month but it is what it is and I’ll update as soon as i get it
-
Still no DD despite my refund being issued on 1/29 🤬😡
-
@Dee
Any updates? Nothing here -
@Celeste12 That wasn’t true in my case. I filed my state through the CA FTB website (for free) on 1/13/18 as HOH with kids and my refund was issued a week later. So H&R is incorrect in that instance.
-
Hey guys I also submitted my tax return via H&R Block on the 11th Jan, on the 19th Jan I called the FTB to check because on H&R Block it said transmitted but FTB never received it. FTB suggested I mail it in or CalFile it which I did the same day. They received it and processed it on the 24th, but I got that dreaded 1 month message. Today the 31st I call in to FTB 4 times and get 4 different answers. Anyhow I read through the replies and there was a post suggesting I call the Compliance Department within FTB which I did. The rep was super helpful. Went over my return said they needed to verify some withholding info. I had to fax my W2 and last pay stub of the year over. Within 30 mins he called back that he received it and my refund was approved and processed. I have now checked my refund status on the FTB site 1st Feb now and it show refund has been sent to my bank should received within 5-10 business days! Yay!
This is the first year I had to jump through all these hoops, and I have been filing for 10 years now, but hopefully my shared experience. Will be of help to others! Hopefully everyone gets their returns soon! -
Well I think I got someone at FTB to help after weeks of trying. Apparently I had the wrong EIN for my employer on my return and also the wrong refund amount, my refund was large and based off last year’s returns. The guy on the phone helped me sort it out and he said he pushed it through, I’m getting a smaller refund and he said that I’m no longer going to have DD that I have to wait 2-3 weeks for a paper check…I don’t know why, the have my account numbers to do a DD also the my status didn’t change yet on the state’s WMR, so I don’t know. I will wait til Monday and call again.
-
@Victoria when were you approved again? I was approved the 29th so hopefully tomorrow for me. Only $273 but gas is $3.20 a gallon in San Diego so… 🙄
-
@victoria333 CONGRATS!!! YAY!!!
-
Good Evening my Cali peeps! Soooo I got my CA refund!!!! It just hit my NetSpend! It was only around $400 but I am super thankful it actually went through after stressing about that one month crap. I pray those still waiting see some movement!
-
Just a head’s up to anyone using H&R Block online to file taxes year- there are some glitches involving state tax return e-file submissions. Federal tax return went through right away. But after over 2 weeks of my state return being “pending” on their website, it took me 2 phone calls to H&R Block and 2 phone calls to the state to sort out that the tax return was being held up on H&R Block’s end for “needing corrections”, when that was, indeed, an error. Once I escalated the issue and put a technical ticket through, the tax return immediately was released by H&R Block and processed by the state. The state confirmed to me that H&R Block users were calling in, reporting similar issues.
-
i was accepted jan 7th and still nothing
-
Apparently CA is only taking state returns WITHOUT dependents first…anyone heard of this? I have been going back in forth with HR stating that they submitted my return two weeks ago and it’s processing on their end but reps from state franchise say they haven’t received it. HR tax “pro” then left a voicemail saying it has not been officially processed because state isn’t accepting yet for peeps with dependents. I’m just ready to give up smh i don’t even want to call HR back ugh
-
@420.. I really hope CA isnt planni g on doing this shit every year! I had to do a verify last year..but that was so simple and only took 1 rep..lol but it seems tbis year thdy are goi g after the people whos fili g status has changed much in the past few years. She told me this morning that almost half will have the 1 month hold as theyre trying to prevent fraud. My only thing is…theres got to be a better way! But as long as they dont do the path bullshit for state then i guess it isnt too bad..just frustrating!
-
Darkzone keep trying. Dont.let it get to you! It took me 4 days. Yesterday i finally got the right person. She started mine..and the lady i spoke with today was able to finish mine. But….it took me going through 9 diff reps in 4 days. Keep at it..you will get the right person.
-
Refund was approved on 1/29 and still no DD. I really hope the DD is in my account in the morning. How are people getting approved and getting a DD 2 days later? I bank with BofA if that matters.
-
I tried doing what you all are doing, calling in to see what’s wrong with the return and try to get it pushed thru but I just got off the phone with an angry rude lady who he didn’t help me at all and I was being very polite to her. She basically yelled at me and told me all “us” that are expecting refunds just got to shut up and wait the 1-3 months for them to process the refunds and we just got wait til the qouted time told to us has passed.
-
So I called the number provided and the rep told me he has to get more information on why and would give me a call back omg. I got the 30 day message on Cali taxes.
-
@jamie they lied. Call the number.
-
I was told that they are not processing returns until 2/2. My return has been stuck in processing since 1/23
-
@420 dang. Still not updated on CA wmr site. Guess I’ll have to call again if it’s not updated tomorrow :(
-
@kean tell them you had a withholding error last year and see if they can look over your return and verify over the phone that they completed it and pushed it through. Be nice.
-
OK so call the FTB I get it but what do I tell them? want to know the right thing to say…..input?
-
@kean the standard message is 2-4weeks if you have the 1 month message I strongly advise you to call the FTB compliance number and get your money!!!
-
@waitingncali OMG YAYS! Persistence definitely pays! So happy for you!
@Dee if the rep said your return was completed you should see that reflect as your 3rd bar on California WMR site the next day.
Now, I’m just waiting for the cheddar. 🧀🐁
-
If your refund is processing and it says it will take a month is that true or could it be faster?
-
@CACristina so frustrating!! Hopefully we see a change soon. I thought others who had the same experience had a message the next morning so I’m a little bummed. I usually never count on my return but I just quit a horrible job and actually need the state refund just to squeeze by on gas until my next new paycheck. Really hoping something pulls through!
-
@dee sometimes it takes 48 hours to update. But it does update over night.
@mom2soups you should have your deposit in your acct friday morning -
@Dee
same here. They advised me everything was good yesterday and woke up to no changes on their website. :-/ -
Just curious, does anyone know if California issues refunds daily or if it is just certain days of the week. My refund was approved 1/30, just curious as to when to expect it.
-
Those that called and was processed over phone, did your refund status update overnight or is it a certain day it updates? Mine was processed over phone yesterday but no message change so I’m wondering if it actually went through right or if I need to call again :/
-
Just got off the phone with ftb. And….. She finished processing jt! Woohoo..persistance does pay off! Ive talked to a couple reps a day for 4 days..and thd girl yesterday started my return and the girl this morning finished it..im done processing now! Im glad my stress of it..is over! Thank you victoria333 and 420 for your help. Lets hope we dont go thru it next year again. The rep did say they are being extra diligent this year to make sure fraud isnt happening. Good luck everyone!
-
@420 Your Welcome!!!! Don’t worry its on the way!!!!! :)
-
@KayKay THANK YOU! Mine was approved 1/29 I was wondering how long after approval it would take. So far, nothing for me.
-
Well mine didnt get pushed thru..but now there is a message on the site telling me to call. Yea ok i was.plannin on it anyways..im starting to find this quite comical! Ill update after i call in a bit! Lol
-
After working with the nice guy from Ca. FTB yesterday, i guess he pushed it through.
We authorized your refund on Tuesday, January 30, 2018.
Please allow:
10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or
25 business days to receive your refund by check.
-
@kaykay Good to know!! FTB shows my refund was issued on Monday, 1/29 so I hope it’s in my account in the morning which would be 4 days. What was your issue date?
-
Spoke to someone yesterday who said she processed while I was on hold and said 2-4 weeks for deposit to hit. No movement on the CA FTB site for my refund status as of this morning :( was hoping I’d wake up to a new message other than processing lol
-
California state was DD in my bank account this morning. It took 4 days after it was issued in case anyone wants to try to figure out when they will receive theirs
-
@Nick
Social and full address -
Filed on 1/20 and finally got a message that my state refund was approved on 1/29. It says it will take 10 days for DD, but is 10 days standard or will the deposit hit my account sooner?
-
Let’s see where do I start!!! I filed 1/23 no movement until I signed into my TaxSlayer and noticed my date changed to 1/29? (Wth) I called FTB and lady said it was rejected. Called TaxSlayer back they have no of it being rejected. I believe I was suppose to add my child care and the amount to state even though I’ve included that in my federal, I changed it but not sure what’s next.
-
CA Franchise rep said they have not received my state return and to contact tax advocate. So i spoke with HR Block and they resubmitted which doesn’t make sense given the fact my tax pro said she didn’t submit it yet because CA wasn’t accepting any returns yet. Anyways It’s been resubmitted now how long should i wait till i can expect at least an acceptance notice two weeks? Or will it delay the return? And is anyone else having this issue with HR BLOCK?
-
Oh trust that I am kind and polite and professional over the phone. I just always get bad luck with the reps who answer the phone. Le’ Sigh
-
I also have that 1month wait. What information do I need to provide when calling?
-
Just called and spoke to someone that advised me my refund had been worked on today and it is good to go and should be seeing a deposit in maximum of 4 weeks.
-
@sammy call back and talk to a different rep. Be kind or they will hang up or put you on that shit list lol.
Stay calm and don’t hang up until they at least look up your return and try to verify some things and tell you that they completed your return.
You’re welcome everyone! Happy spending. See ya in Hawaii 🌺😎🤙🏽 -
@420 thanks for the tip on the phone number! I filed 1/29 and received the 1 month message today. Just called and spoke with a very nice rep. She verified there weren’t any discrepancies or errors on my return then said it should be processed within a week or so. Hoping to get a DDD very soon!
-
Filed 1/22/18. So far still showing the one month message. Have called numerous times as last year I had to send in my w-2’s and pay stubs by fax but it took over 2 months for me to get to that point. I never received correspondence. I was calling in daily from January through March until finally someone asked for that data and pushed it through towards the end of March.
I called Friday, was told to wait another week before calling back. She did attempt to look it up and push it through but stated it’s in another department.
Called this morning and the gentleman I spoke to told me that I need to wait because no California refunds have yet been issued. I questioned this statement as people I work with have received theirs. He placed me on hold and the call was disconnected.
I just called back and spoke to someone who told me that it’s being processed, to be patient. Sigh.
I don’t want to deal with the same situation as I did last year. So now we wait.
-
@wheresmydamnrefund …i love your name by the way..lol congrats on getting some movement! Im hoping mine uodates in the mor ing..or ill be calling back again! I feel like throwing in towel, but i wont! Lol ive called a few times a day since last Thursday..haha. The lady i spoke with today was the best so far so im hoping she gets mine straightened out..or ill be calling again in the morn!!! Lol
-
UPDATE: so just to recap ive been personally dealing with a nice guy at FTB because I had that one 1 month message.
earlier this morning he told me to fax over to my W2 and Paystubs so I did a little before 2PM.
HE CALLED ME just about 10 minutes ago to tell me he received my information and he just wanted to verify some additional information he then told me that everything was good and that everything has been verified now so to expect a refund in 1 to 2 weeks. So im guessing he pushed it through. Im hoping to wake up with a DDD for CAlifornia tomorrow morning.Don’t give up people, there is hope. If one rep doesnt satisfy you t y another one. Most importantly be patient and kind when speaking to these people because for them its the busiest time of the year im sure so there stress levels must be thru the roof.
-
@victoria333 thank you so much for answering! :)
-
Ok i called the state franchise peeps and she stated that they have not recevided anything. I’m calling HR Block to see what’s going on. I should definitely be compensated for this lol
-
Sorry for the many typos in prev post I’m just alil upset because i paid them $400+ for their service… If it turns out the info she was given was not true
-
CA is definitely accepting and authorizing refunds. Some folks have already received their CA refunds.
-
Hello everyone first timer here!
I’m a little confused because I’ve been filing with HRblock for years so i came here. My tax “pro” told me that CA is not accepting any state returns yet and that she was waiting on the date when to submit it and i filed 1/20. Reading some comments that you had received or refund or at least are in processing in assuming this isn’t true? -
Wow just spoke to the nicest guy possible on the phone and he told me either tonight or tomorrow it will update with a dd :)
-
Please call back and get a different rep!
-
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
So i called california again about the 1 month hold and lady stated that there isnt she can do and kept telling me to call the irs. What the hell state and federal are totally different and i told her that in a calm calm way. Then she asked how much i was getting back from the state of california and i told her and she said thats not what its saying on my screen and told me again to call the irs and that there is nothing they can do for me
PLEASE HELP WHAT SHOULD I DO…. IVE NEVER HAD HIS PROBLEM BEFORE. DOES THIS MEAN THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH MY FEDERAL AS WELL I JUST FILLED YEATERDAY I HAVE ONE BAR WITH TAX TOOPIC 152 DIRECT DEPOSIT -
@waitingncali it will update overnight/next day. I was worried about it too but it did update.
To the person that asked if the 2-4 week message was normal the answer is yes. 2 weeks if you e-filed 4 I’d you sent paper.
That is the STANDARD MESSAGE. Anyone with the 1 month (or longer) message has a problem. I know last year their system was reflecting incorrect withholding. I had hoped this would clear up this year but no…
Just call the number be polite and it’s likeky you will get pushed through. Good luck all!
I really hope this helps all of our Cali peeps. -
That’s the answer I received both last year and this one BUT I last year I received my DD a few days after it was authorized
-
I have been on the 1 month screen since the 22nd.
I did finally call the number and she was able to verify and push it through. BUT>>>>>she said it could take 2-4 weeks to see the deposit.
Anyone else get this answer????
Just curious when to expect a change. -
@Victoria333 Thank you! Im gonna leave it alone for the rest of the day..and if i dont see anytbing change in the morn ill call again. Im really hoping next year actually goes smooth for state.
-
@waiting in Cali : my status updated overnight
-
To everyone that called and got theirs released. Did you uodate right away or over night on ftb-wmr..im azking because the last rep said she was trying to review and work on mine. She also didnt beed any addtl info from me. I offered to fax it! Lol Im doing everything I can to try n get some movement. Im itching to call again..haha..but i may wait til tomorrow morn..im hoping the last one i talked to really is working on mine. She seemed like she cared..i was on hd for over 20 min..she kept coming back every few min to let me k ow she was still reviewing and working it..and then at end of call she said she would continue.. Im hopi g she can do it..
-
The guy that I got at FTB was very nice. He told me to fax over my info directly to him and gave me his direct fax number. He said he tried to manually verify the info but he couldn’t so that’s when he requested my W2 and paystub. Whats weird is that I never had to do this before in the past 3 years and all these years i have filed with TurboTax so im not sure why this yea ris making me go through this extra step, Maybe is because I started 401K im not sure.
So yes if the first rep was unwilling to help, try another rep. And also yes e extremely polite.
-
Watingncali thank you!!
Sending good vibes to you(((()))) hopefully you see something positive soon. -
Here’s a tip for those of you on the one month hold and calling the FRB compliance phone number in Sacramento (916) 845-7088.
Tell them you had a withholding error last year and that you were able to verify your info over the phone. They will ask you questions about last year’s return (2016) filing status, address, tax preparer etc. give them your Cali ID numbers and try to get them to verify over the phone. Tell them you are worried about identity theft which is a real concern and why they want people to file to completion on state returns as fast as possible.
Like @victoria I got my 3 bars and it says approved as of 1/29.
Be extra polite. If you don’t get help from the first rep hang up and call back. Make sure you ask if you can verify over the phone because maybe you don’t have quick access to your mail. Be creative. Lol. Good luck. I’m glad this number helps so many. It is a direct to Sacramento number that will be printed on any snail mail you may get. -
@wishingonastar.. No it wont effect your fed return. Your already clear on your fed return as you have the PATH message. Also like i siad to others..at least you have an answer as to why cali is doing this to you..i have no clue! Lol
-
Well,
I called again trying to get more information..lol.
Now I know why I am under review. California just past a law letting self employed people like myself to receive EIC. Before this year we were not able to.
Anywho I guess since we are new filers to EIC with the state we have to show proof of self employment income.
I am going to wait for my letter before I do anything. I hope this doesn’t mess up my federal tax return. I have the PATH message but I am paranoid..lol
Does anyone think this will flag my federal taxes? I been filing with the FEDS for years without any problem. -
At least you guys have some typr of answer! Although we all want our refunds right now! Lol.. Everyone i have talked to said there is nothing i can do to help my case. No letters..nothing! She had me on hold a while and said she doesnt see any errors. But she did say she would continue to work my case after we got off the phone.but could still take 12 weeks. Im really at a loss of whats going on..
-
I just got off the phone with a nice rep (im on the one month message)
He told me that there was an issue with the computer verifying my witholding so he requested that i send over my W-2 and my last paystub directly to him. he said to allow him 5 days to process the information and that he would give me a call back. -
Thank you for the number 420.
I called the number and the nice lady told me that I should wait for a letter in the mail. I will need to send back some documents. My heart dropped. Does anyone know what types of documents I would need to submit? She wouldn’t tell me. -
Well for my 8th call in 3 days i got to talk to someone who wanted to help a little more. I was on hold for 20 minutes while she was reviewung my case. She said its not my fault but she will continue to review and try to work my case but could still take the 12 weeks. I guess im givin up for now. It will come whdn it comes. And if not i will get a tax advocate.
-
Efiled through FTB Calfile on 1/16. Been on 1-month message ever since. Just got off phone with rep and they said processing will take 12 weeks!
-
Thanks my dear! Well I’m not going to be 100% relieved until the coins are in my hands lol! I’m praying you get someone who can speed things up for you 🙏🏽🌸🙏🏽
-
Filed 1/16
Accepted 1/17No movement other than the 1 month message on CA Refund 😭 I called the number 420 gave and a nice woman (thankfully!) said she processed it over the phone and said it should take between 2-4 weeks for my refund but possibly sooner if direct deposit. Will update if I see a change to my status online, but so far it still says 1 month and processing.
-
@Victoria333 Congrats💐🌞 im on the phone again for mine!! Lol im trying!!!
-
Morning CA peeps… so after calling yesterday the rep held true to her word and processed mine through. I checked today and the status now says refund authorized on 1/29
-
@wheresmydamnrefund
I just got off the phone with the state of cali and they told me that almost everyone that has the 1 month notice is under further review you have to call and fax over all your w2 forms and your last paycheck from 2017 to quicken the process…. its not alot of money for me but its still a pain in my ass -
California really really sucks this year with processing returns, I even tried calling that one number #420 gave and the damn lady said 3 months while the WMF website says 1 month! She couldn’t even help even though I know I filed the wrong EIN and I wanted it corrected. This pisses me off to no end, every year the state takes forever, can’t fix a mistake or asks for something ridiculous.
Yeah the feds have that annoying PATH act but at least with them I know I’m getting that money at the end of February once the wait is over but the state, good damn the state. You never know what’s up with the state.
-
Im wondering if maybe there is something wrong with my return. I filed 1/28 accepted 1/29 ant still no progresss. gives me the 1 month message.
some of you accepted and approved the same day. makes me wonder…..
-
@john that is pretty quick. Im amazed. I it still say processing for me with the one month message I filed 1/28 and accepted 1/29
I think that 1 month message is just a generated automated message, it doesnt necessarily mean there is an issue with our refund like someone else here stated.
-
I filled early morning the 29th had the 1 month message all day and checked this morning and it stated refund issued Monday the 29th. At least this year California seems to be processing faster this year. Last year took them 3 month to issue my refund. Hope it goes smooth for others.
-
California peeps. Finally got accepted yesterday went to check when ill get my state return and it says processing then it gives me the one month message does anyone know what that means???
-
Update******
Filed-1/23
Accepted-1/24
Issued-1/24
Woke up to my DD in bank this morning! And yes I have eic also. Good luck all -
@420 yes i plan on trying again tomorrow! Im not gonna give up..even though i want to! I swear its always something with cali. I think the last 3 years its always some weird bullshit. Id be more ok with it, if it was something i did. Ive been doing my own taxes for 12 years and the only issues Ive ever had..are issues with state.
-
@waitingncali try calling tomorrow and start with “I’m really concerned that this might be identity theft and I need answers” if that doesn’t work ask for a supervisor. I had someone last year in Alabama try to file in my name with my SS number and I had to give them like 3 previous addresses to clear it up. If it is identity theft you definitely need to know because that sort of sheister can ruin your financial life. Ask if they sent out letters. Ask if there is something you can help with to verify the info on the phone. Tell them you had a withholding error last year and see if that helps. Make sure your name or address aren’t misspelled or wrong. Go look at your PDF of your e-file younmight spot a blank line or a calculation error. Listen to how they talk to you and get a sense of the problem or what it is they are clicking around on the computer. Use what they say to you and say it back to them. And just be nice. Concerned but nice. Lol
-
@Victoria333 @420 Man you guys suck! Lol just kidding! Im glad it worked out for you guys! When i called the # 420 gave me she said i needed to verify too. She put me on hold and tried to push it thru and came back and said it wont go through😭 that i have to wait for a certain dept to look into it. Grrr i dont work and havent for a couple years and my husband has had the same job for 5 years. I just dont get it..I was pretty upset earlier, but now im to the point of.. Oh well..what can i do…😥
-
@ waitingincali: hey! I just got off work sorry for the late reply.
So I called and spoke with a rep that said it would take 12 weeks . I asked why and he said we need to verify employer. I have had the same employer so I ended up hanging up on him.
Second rep was really nice and asked me to verify my information. She put me on hold for about 5-7 minutes and came back on and told me she was able to “process it through” . She said I should have DD within 2 weeks.
My status still has the one month message so I hope it updates to authorized tomorrow…. -
@420 i wish it was a ticket ir a waterbill! I live in the country at the same address for almost 6 years..and on a well..so no water bill..haha! Havent been pulled over in years either! I even called ftb tax advocate todau and she said she cant even see why this is happening. But she did say its happening to lots and lots of people already. Im gonna keep callin every couple of days. The number you gave me..the girl really tried to help. But she couldnt get it to go thru her system. She said a special dept had to do it. Im wondering if someone else tried to file using my info or some crazy shit. I hope not, and Im hoping this is an issue they can resolve soon..or at least explain to me whats going on. Thats what upsets me the most.. I have no clue WHY! Id be.more patient if i knew! Ill update you, if I hear anymore.
@Victoria333… Id love to know what you were told if you happend to call today..I know we were in the same boat last year..kinda wondering if were in that boat again this year! Or if its just my dang bad luck! Haha -
Anyone with a 1 month message should absolutely call that number I posted. It’s not true that it’s a general message or that you will get a DDD anytime soon. I filed 1/19 accepted 1/21 and never got approved. Mine still says “processing allow 1 month” but I know from calling that there isn’t an issue with my return and that I should have my DD within 14 days. If you call at least you can get some type of answer and quit worrying.
@waitingnCali I’m sorry for your situation. That really sucks. Maybe, you have an outstanding water bill or tickets or something you forgot about?? Keep me informed. 😊 -
Filed and accepted on the 19th and nothing yet. I’ve had that one month message since then.
-
@wheresmyrefundbiatch 😂 yes that is an automated message. You will get approved and released tomorrow! The same thing happened to me but I filed 1/23 accepted and approved /released 1/24 ftb said I should have my DD no later than wed 1/31.
-
Filed yesterday evening 1/28
Accepeted this morning 1/29
then a little after lunch Today I have this message:We received your 2017 California Income Tax return on: Sunday, January 28, 2018.
We are processing your return at this time. Please allow 1 month from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
Is this an automated generated message? should I call and speak with a rep?
I dont know if i ever recall seeing this message in the past years. -
420 thank you. I called the number and she really tried to help. She went in my acct and put me on hold for 10 min trying to send it through. And she said its they type of review that she cant touch. .also said no point in me calling back until april 15th. I really dont get it. She said its not an audit but a review with no explanation as to why.
-
When you call Cali FTB compliance number hit 1-1-0 to talk to someone.
-
@waitingncali make sure you start the conversation with here’s my ss#, last year I had to call and verify some things and/or you had a withholding error and could you please just double check my return since everyone you know has already gotten their refund. If the first person doesn’t solve it and tell you 14 days, hang up and call back. Don’t accept that 1 month BS.
-
Thank you 420. I will call that number after I pick up my kids. I called the reg number this morning and was told i just have to wait the 12 weeks. She didnt see any issues but i will take longer to process..grrr..i have a simple return. So i will def be calling that number! Thank you! Ill let ya know if anything changes after thay call.
-
Ok everyone. Last year my Cali refund was stuck on “allow 3 months” I was able to call this number (916) 845-7088 which is Cali FTB tax compliance number and I was told that there was a problem with my withholding. They asked a few questions and I got my DD Two days later.
I had called this number twice already this year because everyone is getting their refunds but me and I have an “allow 1 month” message. I tried just now and told the rep what happened last year he put me on hold for 5 minutes came back and asked me a few questions about last year, address, filing status, my spouses name and then told me he was able to verify my info and that I’d receive my refund within 2 weeks.
That phone number (916) 845-7088 helped a lot of people last year and I think it will help you @waitingnCali and others. Just tell them that you had a withholding issue and have them look into your account. Have them verify your information. BE POLITE. share the number for others. That number is what will come printed on any forms they snail mail you so don’t wait around and take action! Good luck all!! -
Just called the tax line and got good news!
Filed- 1/23/18
Approved- 1/24/18
Released-1/24/18
The nice gentleman I spoke to said all looks good and funds were released for DD by 2/02/18 but I should see it in my bank as soon as 1/31/18 or even midnight tonight.🙌 -
@waitingincali I called the tax compliance number this morning the number is (916) 845-7088 this is the number that helped me get out of 3 month holding. They were able to see a withholding mistake and correct it immediately.
This year, not so much. They did tell me that no letters have been sent and that I’m within normal processing time. I may call again later though. I registered with FTB but have to wait for my pin. So bottom line for me: I’m within normal processing time. Bleh. -
DD in the bank this morning
-
CA is definitely moving quickly this year. Filed with turbo tax on morning of the 23rd. TurboTax “accepted” notification was received within the hour. Later that day Checked ftb and was surprised to see that state was already accepted and approved. Says I should be getting dd in 10 days but expecting it tomorrow or Tuesday. Will update when it hits my bank!
-
There have been quite a few people that have gotten thier refunds from cali already. Im not sure who you have talked to but your info is opposite of what i was told. Cali is actually moving very fast this year. Lots have file and got thier dd in a week. Others are waiting longer. Every ones returns are different. All sorts of reasons why some will go quicker than others. Hell im in full review. Lol but there is no reason to be rude to other and call them a liar. I hope everyone that filed early gets thier deposits soon without any issues!!
-
@dark I will gladly email you proof showing that I filed 1/19 accepted 1/19 and issued 1/19 however deposit didn’t hit my bank until Wednesday morning. Please give me email where I ca. Show you timeline of events so that you can quit calling us bullshitters
-
People must be trolling this forum, there is no way in hell that people’s refunds are being sent, processed and issued all in the same day. Current processing time for FTB is 1 month….I have called them, the guy on the phone said there delayed this year due to a rush of early filers.
So the people claiming they got authorised the same day are bullshitters.
-
Returns weren’t accepted until the 18th. I doubt anyone has received a refund prior to that. I filed on the 18th and was accepted and issued on the 19th. 2 week lead time for direct deposit. Received nothing yet. I have children and have received no request for extra documentation
-
Congrats to everyone that has received their deposits!!!
@ victoria333 and 420..
I know were all calling on Monday! It will be my 4th call!! Hahaha .. Im gonna see if theres anytbing i can do to speed mine up. But last rep i talked to said it was just a waiting game..and i had nothing to verify. Simply said im in full manual review. So hopefully everythings good with mine and they decide to process it next week!Im hopin all 3 of us just get our damn deposits by next friday..so we dont have to stress! I know Victoria and i both had to verify last year and i had to fac them a paper they sent me to sign..but that was because i owed a 100 bucks for unemployment over payment grom a fee years back.
Anyways..ill let you guys know as soon as i hear anything! Good luck!!🌞
-
Filed and accepted on 1/19 with TurboTax.
California refund was in my bank this morning 😀 -
Wow congrats to my CA peeps getting positive movement!
I filed on 1/20
Accepted on 1/22 for both CA and fedI’ve had the ” processing may take up to 1 month” message. I’m going to call Monday.
Last year I had the the wait up to 3 month message for over a week after they accepted it so I called and the rep pushed it through after I verified my information…

So i was wrong i didnt file eitc for state only federal. But i did call ftb amd they said we may have an extra paper to sign and return befor my refund is released. But she said she isnt sure. So not much help. Lol. I do remember them sending me an additional paper last year to sign. Hope i dont have to..but we shall see. Ill update if i find out more..

Yes I filed through turbo tax morning of 19 it was accepted both fed and state around 1:30pm and then state was authorized nd issued at about 4:38pm on 19th. Woke up to my DD this morning

If you made a mistAke on your state return how long does it take to get rejected
-
Files on the 20th of January and processed and approved on the 23rd. Now let’s see how long for DD.
-
Tara, Last year it took 5-7 days for me to receive after the DD. Your return was accepted and approved and DD all in the same day?
-
Filed 1/19
Approved 1/19
State authorized 1/19
Confirmed with ftb that it was sent for DD 1/19 no sign of it yet. Anyone else actually get it yet and how long from when they auhorized did it show im your account -
So how did you find out that they wanted all that extra info and docs? Was the return authorized already? Did you get an error code? Mine says authorized yesterday Friday 19th. And issued so I. Curious of I am going to have to call to give all this info now to avoid delays
-
WARNING: This year there asking everyone who claims EITC and child tax credit to send them your social security card, your last pay stub, social security cards and proof of going to school for all kids in the family. They won’t release your refund til you do…And That’s EVERYONE, not just a select few. I got off the phone with a rather rude lady from FTB that said there being stricter this year.

I EFILED 01/03/2018 TODAY 01/05/2018 SAYS REFUND AUTHORIZED TAKES UP TO 10 DAYS FOR DIRECT DEPOST…I WILL UPDATE WHEN I RCVD IT
-
@Sean
My refund was finally authorized on Friday, April 7. I had to call them last Wednesday to find out why it was taking too long to receive my refund. The man I spoke to said it was already passed the wait time and he said he would put a note on my file to process my refund immediately. So now I am waiting for my refund via direct deposit. Have you received your refund yet?
-
Refund approved on 4/1. I have a direct deposit, any idea when I should expect it in my account?
-
I was accepted 1/27 and was on the wait three months message until 3/11 when it went to the 2 month message and then on 3/13 i was authorized. DD received in Netspend account late last night.
-
@Sean
Thank you for the update.
-
I spoke to them yesterday.
The original timeline has gone from 2 weeks to 4 weeks to now 8 weeks to be processed.
Clown show over there this year
-
I e-filed my state tax return on February 1, 2017 and it was accepted the same day. I still have not received my refund. I usually receive my refund within 3 weeks of e-filing. My status still shows that my tax return requires additional time for processing. This is the longest time I have waited for my refund. I called 2 weeks ago and someone said that my tax return is on file, but needs more time to be processed. I have not received anything in the mail requesting any documents.
-
Woke up to this..
We authorized your refund on Friday, March 10, 2017.
Please allow:
10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or
25 business days to receive your refund by check.
-
Finally updated but to this.
We received your 2016 California Income Tax return on: Friday, January 27, 2017.
We are processing your return at this time. Please allow the following timeframes for processing to be completed:
2 months from the date you e-filed your return.
4 months from the date you mailed your return.If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you
-
OK guys, my refund was authorized on February 23. On March 2 I received a letter requesting that I send in some documents. So I decided that I will fax the documents to them on Monday. Today, I received my state check in the mail. And I did not sent anything in yet. I am surprised yet grateful.
-
I was just told to wait another two weeks for processing of my returns “due to the high volume of returns”. Which doesn’t make sense… you know how many people in CA are going to submit a tax return. Just dumb.
-
Anyone know what time the refund website updates in the morning?
-
I called the State today. Was filed and accepted on 1/26 and we have heard nothing. I spoke with a nice guy named Clint. He had me verify a bunch of stuff then put me on hold. He then came back and put approved on our state return and said I should have it in my account within 2-4 weeks. IF it does not show in my bank account to call back after 4 weeks.
Only if the IRS was that nice and getting stuff taken care of for you.
-
Accepted: 02/24/17
Authorized : 02/07/19
Received: 03/02/17 -
I’m so frustrated, I can never get a straight answer! I was told I’m under review. Then I was told I’m not, I’m in the normal processing time frame. Then I was told I was approved, I called right back to ask for confirmation of the amount and was told I’m not approved, I’m actually on hold because they can’t verify my w2 but there’s nothing that can be done until April 2. It’s not even that I am counting on the money at this point, I just want the process to be over with.
-
OK guys, my state refund was authorized on February 23. Today I received a letter saying they want me to fax a copy of my SSN and w2. Now why would they authorized my refund and then send me a letter requesting things from me? Has anybody gone through this before?
-
state of ca said my check was sent out on Friday, how long does it take to get? as of Wednesday I haven’t received should I be worried it got lost in mail?
-
So I called back and someone actually looked into it. I’m under review, they said to give it 2-4 more weeks from today. 🤔
-
filed on 02/09
accepted on 02/09still have the same message of 2 months BUT checked my bank account this morning and I have a pending deposit for 3/1.
It appears they are not updating the site, so also check your bank accounts.
-
Still waiting. Filed on 1/27. They said returns are expected to take 2 months now.
-
Just spoke to someone via the CA FTB website chat. They said electronic returns are taking 2 weeks to process (to be approved).
My return was received 2.23, so I should have an answer on or before 3/10.
-
Submitted 2/9
Accepted 2/9
Still on “we received your refund and are processing…. could take two months.”same status for me also :(
-
Submitted 2/2
Accepted 2/2
Still on “we received your refund and are processing…. could take two months.”Sighhhhh. Deep sigh.
-
Received my DD this morning after being approved on Tue.
-
Hey Again, back for the 3rd year in a row.
Filed – 2/23
Accepted – 2/23Getting 2-month message. Will update when the needle moves. Big refund this year >$3,500
-
@jr You were right. Yesterday my status changed from 3 months to 2 months. Now today it updated to authorized on Thursday February 23. So finally.
-
I had the 3 month processing time.
I called and the really nice woman gave me the option to fax the documents needed to verify or to wait for the letter. In less than an hour after faxing she called back telling me everything is now validated. I should get my return in 2-3 weeks. -
@glenm1 mine did the same thing and 3 days later it changed to authorized.
-
My return was accepted on January 26 and my status said need extra time to process and to allow up to 3 months. Now today it updated to say, we are processing your return at this time and to allow up to 2 months. So why did it changed from 3 months to 2 months?
-
Update: I received my return this morning via direct deposit.
I filed on 2/8; called that number below on 2/9 or 2/10 and they reviewed and put it through. Message changed and my refund was authorized on 2/15 and I received it exactly a week later.
Hang in there guys, and if you were authorized before me I would call that special number below to check. They are very pleasant and extremely fast with processing or letting you know what’s going on.
Best of luck!
-
@Carrie101 thank you for the update. I checked this morning and my return message changed to:
We authorized your refund on Tuesday, February 21, 2017.
Please allow:
10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or
25 business days to receive your refund by check.
If we made any adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
I filed on 2/9, started with the 3 month message, changed to the 2 month message on 2/19, and authorized on 2/21. I never called, but I imagine they are receiving tons of calls and are being told to give the 2 month delay info. I will keep you posted on if and when I receive my dd.
-
@carrie101- Thank you for the update, not what I wanted to hear but I guess it is what it is. I will give them a call in a few days just to see what the next agent is saying ( for laughs and giggles) and will update you.
-
@MONI & @JR, broke down and called again today (3rd time). Was told that the new processing time was due to identity theft & all that good stuff and to expect a 2 month wait for E-filed returns from now on and to be happy and excited for anything sooner (he literally said that).
He also said that I have 1 more dependent than normal (I have 4) and that might have required a manual review. He did say that they can’t let the feds have all the fun (my paraphrasing there) and they want people to know they are taking identity theft and other fraud seriously.
He said to expect the 2 month wait to be the new norm for CA and to call back on the 3/26 if I have not received my refund and only at that point can a rep manually process my refund. He also said my return was last handled on 2/12 and hinted at the fact that I may possibly expect something next week, but definitely not to count on it. Overall, he was a nice guy with a lot of helpful info, all things considered.
-
I was authorized 2/11/17 still no deposit anyone else got authorized 2/11 and still no dd friday makes my 10th day
-
My 3 month message just changed to this. Anyone else have this?
We are processing your return at this time. Please allow the following timeframes for processing to be completed:
2 months from the date you e-filed your return.
4 months from the date you mailed your return.If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
-
Still on the 3 month message since 1/27. I’ve called twice and they say nothing’s wrong. They say it can take up to 2 months. I call bs. I’m getting really tired of waiting especially since I have had to wait forever for Federal as well because of the ACTC credit.
-
@Carrie101- I am in the same boat. I hope a call will NOT necessary :)
-
I’m still on the 3 months message. Finally got approved for fed today (PATH Act) and have a weird feeling I may get approved for CA refund on 2/21 — the first business day after my fed approval date. Hoping so, anyway.
I’ll give it till 2/22, to allow for some extra processing time. If I don’t see an update by then, I’ll be calling the FTB again on Wednesday morning. Will update then.
-
Update from my 2/14 message. I checked the website today and its states that my refund has been authorized on February 15 and I should receive it within 10 business days.
Whoever initially provided that phone number was a God send; thank you!!
-
@Dajanet the CA State Controller issues the checks, but FTB can tell you what day they released it. I called them this morning to find out about mine and the rep let me know mine had been released on 2/9 and should be here any day now.
-
@justine +19168457088
-
So I called FTB in the lady informed me that they do not issue out the checks they only process them so do anybody know who issues out the checks for state refund
-
File 2/7
CA refund authorized 2/13
Deposit… WaitingWill update
-
@shellte Did you get the return direct deposited or by check in the mail?
-
@dajanet i just got mine …yipee…yours should be coming anytime….so just to post one last time i filed the 18th and got authorized the 8th of Feb and just got it today the 15 of Feb
-
I got a DDD of 2/8 but haven’t got my refund yet, what number can I call and actually talk to someone.?
-
@dajabet ok so i am 3 days after you…i have a feeling authorizing and actually sending the check might be two different things…i will post when i get mine
-
@shellte she said they authorized it the 8th
-
@dajanet so crazy but when someone mails me something within california it takes at the max 2 days for me to recieve…When was yours authorized? Today it has been a month for me…
-
@shellte yes she said 2-4 weeks there sight says 25 business days and as of now I have received nothing I’m hoping it’s there today
-
@dajanet the mailed you a check on the 8th and they are saying 2 weeks for mail?? I am noticing that they are telling a whole lot of people the same thing….
-
I called the FTB number someone provided below and gave her my info. I explained that I submitted it via Credit Karma Tax initially but it was never updated. I explained that I filed through the CA FTB website last week and received that three month message so I was wondering if by refiling I messed something up.
She checked and put me on hold for 5 minutes and said that everything looks to be in order and she went ahead and processed my refund. She told me I should receive it within 2 weeks. No update on the site yet, but I hope to have some movement this week; yay!
Thanks, everyone!!
-
Well I finally gave in and I called FTB and I was informed that they had made an adjustment to my state refund so they mailed me out a check on February 8th so it should be here within 2 to 4 weeks
-
Just spoke to someone at FTB and explained I had the 3 month notice since it was accepted January 13th. He checked my return and was able to complete the process should have my mailed check in 2 weeks yay
-
@dajanet lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best…mine was authorized saturday so 1 day down 9 more business days to go…😉
-
@shellte good thing is I bank with netspend and they don’t hold direct deposit as soon as they come they post it to my account the bad thing is I think I’m going to have to wait the 10 days
-
Called the CA FTB again today. Spoke with a very friendly representative, Sean (#1039), and was told that there has been a lot of confusion about the wording on the message people are receiving on the website after they file. He said that those higher up in administration are looking into possibly changing this wording. Apparently they have been inundated with calls, more so than usual.
However, for now, the “3 month” message just means that if they happen to find something noteworthy in your return that requires extra processing time, then it could take up to the full 3 months to resolve it. He did say that receiving this message does not necessarily mean that they did find something wrong with your return. Apparently, this is where the confusion lies.
It is a generic message but most people do not have a reason for further review that would require the extra processing time. He did say that if all is well with the return, a refund is generally issued within “2 -3 weeks”. He also literally stated that they would rather issue the latest possible date to receive a refund, rather than issue an earlier date that might be delayed, only to cause further concern and confusion.
He also stated that if a person did have some issue that required further review of their return, they definitely would be receiving a letter in the mail. As for me, he stated that he did not see any notices being sent out and that all appeared to be fine with my situation. I am hoping to see my refund within the next week or so, or at least an estimated date. For what it’s worth, I filed and was accepted 1/26. I’ve been seeing the “3 month” message ever since.
One more issue I asked about was if it would have made any difference if I had filed on the CA FTB website versus using my tax prep service to send it along with me federal. He assured me that the info received would be the same either way, in the same time-frame. The only difference is that the CA FTB is free to file. It’s simply a matter of convenience of not having to enter the info twice.
I feel a lot better, even though this is the longest wait I have ever had for an E-filed CA state refund. I normally have my state refund light years before my federal.
Just wanted to share this information, for what it’s worth.
-
@dajanet I was told it gets sent to a bank then to your bank but your bank may hold for however long they hold direct deposits…but it seems like its taking people awhile to get their direct deposits
-
My question is this does it really take 10 business days to see a deposit in CA my money was issued on feb8th
-
Okay everyone here is my question does it really take 10 days to see the deposit in your account I filed my state return on feb2nd I was on the 3months messages for a couple days then I updated to approved refund issued on Feb8th but I don’t understand why the wait if they issued it out and I’m getting direct deposit
-
@christine i hace not called and mine still changed …if it has nit been however many days they tell you to wait abd you calk alot of them wont even help you ..in fact last when i called the lady *very rude) saud it had inly been so many days abd then she asked if i got a letter then asked me if the refund site asked me to call…
-
@daisysmom yes that is what mine did and the next day i got my authirization message so i bet you will also
-
call them i had the three month message but 30 minutes after i called it said accepted and the next morning it said authorized for the 10th please allow 10 days for direct deposit
-
Mine was accepted 1/27 and I STILL have the 3 month message. Should I call them? I’m getting super annoyed.
-
Filed 2/3 with EIC, accepted 2/7, DD received on 2/10. 😊
-
I filed on 1/23 I have had the 3 month message since today I called and the man asked me a few questions and then said he could process it now?
He said it could take two to four weeks but now my message online has changed so I hope I get something soon. -
Well filed on 01/26. Remind authorized on 01/30. The standard message allow 10 days for direct deposit. Well i still haven’t received anything yet. Have any ideas?
-
If I get EIC for federal, shouldn’t I have gotten it for state as well? my refund was alil over $300 but my sisters was over $1500. Now I’m confused
-
Hey everyone just came back to give an update. I filled with turbotax 1/14 accepted 1/17. It was authorized on 1/19. I received a letter dated 1/24 saying I owed a college some money which I knew and received a check on 1/26 or 27th not sure with the remainder of my refund.
-
thank all you guys so so so much I just called on my break took 2 min to get threw she said turbo tax glitch something about leap year and they are mailing me a check out yea yea yea alow 2 weeks they cant dd they have to send check. thank you all for your help your awesome!
-
@kandi that’s exactly what happen to me. Since last year was a leap year there was 366 days so that’s how the tax software input it but the system was not updated so it rejected that number. Somehow the it appeared in the system as having no dependents and some other disqualify stuff. My check was only $34 I called 916.845.7088 and they are very helpful! I got asked maybe 5 questions about myself which were easy and was apologized to several times and the remainder of the refund issued.
-
I filed on 1/23 accepted same day. Received federal DD on 2/1 I have had the 3 month processing message from Cali ever since. I called for the third time today and I got an answer today!
Called FTB and I was given a special number 916-845-7088 if you call this just hit selection 1 then select 0.
I spoke to a very nice lady that said the return was transmitted with incorrect withholding and that by calling today she was able to finish it and my refund will be issued in 2 weeks.
So, apparently my California state return was incorrectly efiled by TurboTax and if I paid a processing fee for that I’d be irate right now.
My only advice to anyone else is to always be your own advocate. Double check the double checkers. Good luck peeps! -
@pink did you have to call to get them to relook at your case they sent me check $71 I was to get $1800 they took child credit away saying my son didn’t live with me whole year etc he lived with me his whole life. so im at work but cant call them all day. is there a number I can call and get right threw?
-
does anyone have a number I can call and get right threw? I got a check mailed and they gave me a different amount they said the child tax credit taken because my son didn’t live with me long enough lol he has lived with me his whole life lol so im not understanding it. I was to get $1800 I only got $71
-
STATE APPROVED 2/3 GOT IT 1AM BANK OF AMERICA…
-
Aw man thank you for letting me no same day authorized 2/3 and nothing on my Netspend card yet I’ll check throughout the day
-
CA refund authorized 2/3
Deposit just now. 2/8 11:15pm Chase bank -
@Just LOL, I’m actually kind of happy to have my theory blown. My rear end will be slightly less sore since I can stop kicking myself now. ;)
I may call those, um, people…yeah, people at the CA FTB again tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted.
-
They might be going back in to double check people’s mine was authorized 1/24 I requested direct deposit but had a paper check issued 2/1 I got it 2/4 but it wasn’t the correct amount. I called them and spoke to a few different people they let me know there was a glitch in the system this year. They made it easy to fix and issued the correct refund.
-
I also had my CA state refund authorized on 01/25/2017 and I still haven’t seen it hit my bank account and I had direct deposit. Nothing in the mail from either state or federal. Today was the 10th business day. Curious….
-
I’m using Netspend for my deposit I was hoping to get it a little sooner I’m just hoping I get it by Friday if you have 2/3 as well post when your deposit hits please? Maybe we can hope to get it by Friday
-
My refund was authorized 2/3 and as of today I haven’t received.
-
I did direct deposit. I have no offsets. So tomorrow would be 10days that ca said to allow to get deposited.
-
@BigdDdy did you get direct deposit or paper check is their a chance your refund was offset
-
I filed my return through my tax guy. My refund was authorized on 01/30 and as of today haven’t received anything yet.
-
Anyone refund authorized 2/3 receive their direct deposit yet???
-
I filed with TurboTax
-
The 3 month message is just a generic message that everyone gets….I filed on 1/28 and exactly 7 days later I received my state refund…I also had the 3 month message
-
@carrie101- well, this is funny: I usually always file my state through turbotax but it kept bouncing my state return back saying I needed to wait until 2/10 for a form to become available so I went to CA FTB and filed for the first time this year, it was quick and easy and I figured I’d get it sooner. Fat chance!
I’m stuck with 3 month processing error- I was thinking how I’d never file through CA FTB again, but looks like we’re all stuck with 3 month. Has anyone called?
-
Oh…
I had the 2 month message on 2/6 -
Filed 2/4,
CA received 2/6
Refund authorized 2/7 -
I’m dealing with the 3 month thing as well and I’m so mad at myself. The past couple of years, I used the CA FTB website to file for free. Both years, I got my CA state refund back pretty darn fast.
This year, I was lazy and paid to file my state through the tax service where I did my Fed. Bad idea. I paid extra to wait…and wait…and wait. Never again! From now on, I will be a faithful user of the CA FTB free website to enter my state return.
:;;grumbles incoherently to self:::
-
OK. I filed my state return for the first time ever. But I have the 3 month message, so I am thinking that it’s because it’s my first time filing for a state return. Anyway, I want to create an account but I need to have a pin mailed to me. But it says that my information doesn’t match their records. And I know that it’s right. So what the heck am I doing wrong?
-
Whatever you do don’t file your state tax return with Credit Karma. I filed on January 25 and NOTHING. Called CA FTB and they have not received anything yet. So I had to resubmit. No updates or anything. My federal was fine but state is non-existant
-
@420 i am seeing that message also i filed on 18th and just got my DDD sat for my federal for 2/8/17 but my state is just stuck haha
-
Officially it’s been 2 weeks since I e-filed. I filed both Fed and Cali on 1/23 both accepted same day. Fed was deposited on 2/1. Cali STILL says needs more processing time allow 3 months called and chatted with FTB they don’t know anything. No kids or credits. Small $244 refund. Just lost in the system….
-
I submitted my return through cal file on January 30th immediately got the 3 month message then Friday 2/3 I got authorized for my refund now I’m just waiting for it to hit my account I’m hoping for it by Wednesday finger crossed it says it can take 10 days but it looks like most people are getting it in 3-4 days IM HOPING!! since my federal will be delayed till after the 15th
-
Anyone with a authorization day of 2/1 receive their money? I have kids so federal is delayed… hoping to see money soon from at least state. It’s been 6 days but only 3 business days.
I noticed it taking about 3-4 business days for everyone with dates before 2/1.
I bank with B of A.
Thanks in advance !
-
@just i filed both on the 18th and bith were accepted on the 19th the state i got the 3 month thing right away.the federal i got one bar till yesterday then i got two bars saying deposit on 2/8….i have nit calked either only cuz you are supposed to wait i think 21 days
-
@shellte:
Yeah, my federal I submitted on 1/17 and they were accepted 1/18. They were showing one bar up until Friday and then yesterday (2/4) the bars completely disappeared. There isn’t any bar on the page- however, there is the amount and this message: “we are processing your return. Please keep checking back for your refund deposit date or download the app”
I filed state CA on 1/29 and they accepted 1/29, right away gave me 3 month notice.
Should I call federal? When did you file? Have you called CA FTB?
-
@just so you had two bars and they disappeared? Last year i had the identity thing with state and i faxed in the info they wanted it was shortly after that wè got the state refund.This year it has said this 3 month thing ftom the start…but i have not gotten a letter from them so i am trying to be patient ..
-
@shellte- no my bars disappeared yesterday morning and it says “we are processing your return please continue to check back for a refund date.”
I was accepted on 1/18 (federal) and looked at previous years, it always takes me 19 days to go from accepted to approved and I always get the deposit in my account the day it changes- I don’t usually get a DDD in advance. Thinking Sunday is a large update for IRS so maybe tonight it will go to approved?
-
Mine was 1500 and i have the same message as you i did get my DDD fir federal return yesterday..have u gotten your federal return yet?
-
@kandi – do you mind if I ask roughly how much your CA refund was?
I started my own business so I’m due to get $2,000+ Back in my CA return. It was received on January 29 2017 but when I check status it says,
“We received your return on January 29 2017.
Your return requires additional processing. Please allow 3 months from when you e-filed.”
But I vaguely remember getting this message last year too which went away within 2 weeks of submitting.
Ballpark, how much was your refund? Under $1000? Wondering if it has something to do with amount of refund and when it’s approved?
Thank you!
-
I e-filed with Turbo Tax on 1-25
I was “accepted” on 1-25
They “received” my return on 1-27
“Authorized” refund on 1-31
Got my DD on Friday 2-3 at 10:45pm -
@kandi also when I did get that call back they kept me on hold an additional four hours then just hung up 🙄
-
Update! So I was authorized on 1/26 and today 2/4 I received a check in the mail. I requested direct deposit but my banking information changed this year and since they’re trying to combat fraud they’re issuing more paper checks. Eh not what I asked for but soooooo glad I got it!
-
I filed my CA taxes and they were accepted on 1/29, but I keep getting:
We received your tax return on January 29, 2017. Your tax return requires additional processing please allow 3 months.
Is this a generic error? Im starting to stress thinking what is wrong. I usually get my CA refund within days of filing. However, I usually file much later in the season.
Is anyone else seeing this message? Has anyone seen this message and had it change to approved?
-
California is SLOW….i filed 1/18 they accepted it 1/19 i have been stuck on the 3 month message since but this morning got a DDD for my federal …
-
Filed 1/25 authorized for deposited 2/2. Says it’ll take up to 10 business days, so just waiting now :-)
-
i was accepted on 23rd and authorized on the 25th it said 10 business days. how long after authorized did it take to get refund in dd and what day? do they dd Friday nights? thank you
-
state return i was accepted on 23rd and authorized on the 25th it said 10 business days. how long after authorized did it take to get refund in dd and what day? do they dd Friday nights? thank you
-
I filed and was accepted the 25th had the 3 month message and this morning it says authorized Feb 1, 2017 just informing people who’s receiving that message it will update if you didn’t receive any letters in the mail.
Hope this helped
-
I filed my sate on 1/30/17. Checked this morning and got the messsge saying that my return is processing and that may 3 months. Anyone get this message and actually had to wait that long? Thanks
-
@stillwaiting; nothing new with my CA FTB notification but with my state refund, I usually get the deposit long before the processing notification ever changes. Hoping for a deposit on Friday.
-
I still have not recieved my DD. Says it was authorized on the 26th but still nothing. Anyone else have any luck today?
-
Filed CA State Tax on Friday January 27th Refund authorized January 30th. I will post when DD.
-
NVM, sorry for the double post.
-
Just a follow-up to my post from yesterday.
I got through to the CA FTB today. They said that the 3 month processing is just a generic message and that it almost never takes that long to get your refund, if all is well with your return. When you get that message, it just means that your return is still being processed. She also said that as of now, she does not see any notification that would require further information. Hopefully it will get deposited in the normal time-frame of 7-10 days.
-
@ Laura it can depend’s upon what your withholdings. Did you claim zero? That can be the reason.

Hi there all! I have a question hopefully someone can help. I moved to Cali 7 months ago and I only worked about 6 months. My income was $15,677. I have never had to file state tax before so I wasn’t sure what to expect….my CA refund says it should be $400!!! That seems like alot! Did I mess something up somewhere? I did my taxes myself so I’m crazy worried. Single, no kids, no credits. Thanks in advance for the help!
-
Refund authorized on 26th for state and still no deposit. I am having it deposited to my regular bank account but still nothing today. Hoping for tomorrow.
-
Filed and accepted 23rd. Woke up to a pending deposit.
-
@ Bunnie:
I got nearly the same message recently but mine said to wait up to 3 months.
I recall getting a similar message last year, but it didn’t have an estimated wait time. They did tell me on the phone it could be up to 12 weeks but I got the refund about 2 weeks from the day I filed.
Let’s hope this year is the same.
-
has anyone for CA got this on the state refund page, and is it really taking 2 months?: We received your 2016 California Income Tax return on: Saturday, January 28, 2017.
We are processing your return at this time. Please allow 2 months from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
-
Okay.. So really weird when I checked my account this morning the deposit hadn’t been made. After I made my last post I checked my account and the dd was in there. There is hope! I just say check your account through out the day and see.. So weird.. Good luck everyone!
-
Hey Everyone,
My FTB was accepted the 23rd, and approved for refund on the 24th. I have yet to receive my dd. Hoping that Wednesday is the day. I will keep you updated. When i check my FTB account it says no notices and refund authorized 1/24.
-
@waitingincali its “luck of the draw” on who you get when you make that phone call.. some are nice and others not so nice well hopefully by the 6th of feb you will get it…..
-
I would say we will get our refunds by Wednesday for direct deposit.
Thanks for the info everyone. -
Hey guys just checked my NetSpend card and DD is there!!!! Praise God!
-
Well guys that call was pointless..she just gave me the 10 day spill..i supposedly will have my deposit within 10 business days from the 25th when i was approved..was hopi g they would tell me more
-
@waitingcali let us know what they say
-
Thanks for the info ‘waitingncalif’
-
Im on hold waiting for a rep right now for ca tax board..ill let you guys know if i get any additional info out of them!
-
Cali is definitely taking lo ger this year than usual. I kniw my deposit is taking longer because of the letter i received asking me to verify it was me.but id love to kniw when they are actually goi g ro release our deposits..hope we all get good news very very soon
-
I am still waiting as well. Supposedly sent or approved on the 25th
-
Approved for refund 1/26 Still not funds in my bank. Anyone know if state funds are deposited daily or are they done on certain days of the week? Only CA state refunds I have seen were deposited 1/18 and 1/25 so wondering if CA is only depositing on Wednesdays.
-
Nothing in my mail box. Maybe I will get the DD on Monday or get the letter.
-
@waitingincali yes thats what they did to me last year i had to fax in info to them and yes they are really making people jump threw hoops…i will for sure update in here …hope you get yours soon
-
@shelle i got a message similar to that stating my return needed extra processing time when it was still processing..and a couple days later stating it was processing please allow up to 3 mo ths..and a few days later it said your refund has been approved for release of funds, as of jan 25.. you will receive your dd in next 10 business days..and then i got that letter today…but i never got the same exact message as you..but not necessarily a bad thing.. Maybe you should give them a call mo day morning to be sure everythings ok..they open at 7am…. Between federal and state they are really putting us through the ringer this year
-
@watingincali will do that for sure…i am stuck on “we recieved your return on 1/19 and we are processing it but it may require extra time please if you recieved a letter from us please send information back and allow us up to 3 months to make a determination”
-
Just checked the mail, So far no letter! We will have to see what happens Monday . Got to love cali! Well goodnight and prays go up for all my cali peeps and all my IGMR fam ✨
-
I will post Tommorow if or when I get the letter, or a direct deposit. Thanks everyone for keeping us all informed.
-
When any of us finally get a deposit or a letter like i got..can we try and let each othet know so we can try to keep eachother informed! We finally have this group active..lets keep going and help others that are sharing the same stresses we are!!!
-
@waitingincali no problem i totally understand
-
@ shelle i apologize i shouldnt have snapped at you! Ive just stressed too much already this year over the hoops we are jumping through simply to get our returns..
-
@sdiego definately check your mail! I couldnt believe i got the letter, we have been at the same address and filing exactly the same things for five years now. So im assuming everyone in cali is going to go through this..its a pian in the butt …but at least we know and hopefully it wont happen every year..also i noticed they didnt even mail out the form til the 26th..and my deposit was appro ed ro be released the 25th..so dont stress too bad yet! Hope this eases your mind a bit!
-
@waitinincali my comment was not meant to be mean sorry you took it that way as for your comment in regards to me not making a comment if i dont know what i am saying ..we are here to help each other and there are alot of people that did not realize the difference in being accepted and approved the conment was not even directed at you and it was not done in a nasty way like you assumed
-
That should day mail.
-
Tommorow I will check my msil. Probably will get the form since I filed with a new address.
-
@victoria333 yes its rediculous! Lol i called them on monday and they said they didnt see any issues with my return and never mentioned this to me! So when i got approved for refund release on Wednesday i was extatic..and then weve been waiting..until today…lol..the form basicalky said that i have an approved refund of (blah blah) and said to check box if thus was me and sign..so i did of course..lol im hoping they officially release it when they see it monday morning! Good ol califirnia always qith a trick up their sleeve!! Haha
-
@waitinincali: what! They sent that after approving! That is stupid… I actually called the FTB and did a identity verification on Tuesday then it was authorized so I hope I don’t have to wait for a form! But at least hopefully they will release immediately after receiving that fax! Praying
-
@ victoria 333 and anyone else this helps…check your mail..i just got a letter from ca tax board that i had to sign and check a box proving it was me. I already faxed it back so they can hopefully release the funds. Heres to hopi g for my deposit monday night!
-
@ waitingincali : me too! Hopefully Monday for us 😉
@ shelle : yes, I’m 28 and have been filing taxes for enough time to know the difference being “approved” and “accepted” and “authorized”…. I think the majority of us here now that but thanks for your concern and input. Have a blessed weekend 😎
-
@shelle ..this isnt my first time filing and yea i kniw the difference..do you..i said my state was APPROVED on Wednesday and my refund has been released which means it will be depostied at any time. I filed my taxes on jan 3rd. And was accepted by state and fedral on the 13th. I really think you shouldn’t comment on things you have no clue on..
-
@victoria i sure hope it comes soon. Usually depsits are quicker with my prepaid..not sure whats going on
-
There is a difference in accepted and approved dont know if you guys realize that….
-
Same boat, mine was authorized on this past Wednesday but still no DD… I have NetSpend
-
I too was approved on wednesday and i have a prepaid card so i thought it would be here by now..but still nothing..has anyone had movement once youve been approved? ?
-
My refund was approved last Wednesday the 25th. Wondering when I will get my direct deposit?
-
*dandes. sorry, I hate autocorrect
-
thank you so much for your response Fandes
-
My state refund was filed on the 18th and accepted on the 18th but iwhen i check the wmr it says it is gonna take more time and not to expect for 3months….dont know what is up with this i have heard cali is delaying more people than not….
-
Jaimommi, I had an offset a couple years ago where they took part of my CA refund and I received a check in the mail, instead of direct deposit as I had requested, and it took an extra week or two.
-
Hello everyone. I owed one of the community colleges and they usually take my state every year. Yesterday I received a letter dated 1/24/17 that they took some money but sent the rest to me. Does anyone know if this will be a check or direct deposit? Also if you have had this experience how long did it take for you to receive your money? I filed the 14th accepted on the 18th.
-
I do not think they are holding refunds with EIC. I filed 1/24 and my refund was authorized 1/26 claiming Ca EIC.
-
For state refund, if they approve and wmr has “you’re getting your refund within 10 days”, does it usually take the entire 10 days, or do you get the refund the same week?
-
Anyone know if they are holding ca income tax? And anyone know about the ca eic?
-
Hello. FTB website says my refund was processed and authorized in today August 2. 2016. Has anyone received a paper check? Will it really take 25 days to receive? Thanks.
-
UPDATE: Received my paper check in the mail today 3/4.
Thanks Shon, just saw ur update. My check was printed with the date of 3/1 so it only took 3 days to get to me. Hope you got yours today too.
-
Destinie, i talked to someone today she said it was approve the 24th but the check was printed on the 1st so it actually didnt get mailed until the 2nd. She said give it a couple more days for check in the mail. I hope this helps you.
-
Shon, I’m in the same boat as you. I thought I was waiting for direct deposit until I received a notice yesterday that the courts took some money from my refund. I called the FTB and the lady said the check was mailed out on the 24th so give it no more than 2 weeks to receive it. Will update when I receive it. Hoping by end of next week.
-
I was wondering how long a paper check really takes to be mailed. I was approvedon the 24th of February.
-
I filed federal & state on 1/19. Accepted for federal same day & accepted for state on the 22nd. Federal was approved on the 28th and received DD on 2/3. Called about my state several times and was told the same thing about processing can take up to 12 weeks and not being able to get any status updates online. I still checked everyday and finally it showed that my refund was authorized on 2/24 and to wait 10 business days. This is my first time filing for state so hope there isn’t any delays. My sister filed the first week of feb and received an authorization on 2/16 then got her money deposited on 2/18 or 2/19 so it was really fast for her. Hoping it’s the same with mine. Will keep everyone updated.
-
@Tara: I too have called several times and been told that it can take up to 12 weeks. They also told me that if you can’t get any info from the site that means “you are not processed in the system”…..I am so tired of the run around with them its horrible… I hope that like @Joe we get something soon ****FINGERS CROSSED****
-
Hi Guys,
I filed and was accepted 2/11/16.The website is still giving the same unable to identify message, but I received a direct deposit this morning. Coincidentally, I was able to order my transcripts from the IRS this morning as well which I have not been able to do. I wonder if CA piggy backs off of the IRS system somehow. Anyway I just wanted to share this and let you know you can still get your refund without the website updating.
-
Filed State of CA return 01/28-accepted on 01/29. No update on the state website-still processing. I have called several times and keep getting a different answer-some say 2 weeks others say 4-12. Almost as bad as the IRS!
-
@KatKing: Still seeing
We are unable to provide your refund status online.The two most common reasons are:
The refund amount does not match our records. The amount you enter must exactly match the information on your tax return.
The address and ZIP Code does not match our records. You can view and update your mailing address in MyFTB Account.
Call during business hours for further assistance.I don’t know what is going on they say it could be around 12 weeks
-
This year sucks. I can’t get a status update. I filed my CA through TurboTax on 2/10 and it was accepted 2/11…I should be able to get an update ! Is it processing ??? Sigh. I usually get mine within a few days.
-
I filed on 2/5 when i log in i see this message We are unable to provide your refund status online.

-
@needthedough- I am also waiting for my check to arrive, i was authorized on the 23rd of January but since my bank information was wrong, they had to issue a check instead… i was told my info was sent print the check on February 1st… it is now February 9th and still no check :(
I will be sure to keep you guys updated once i receive.
-
I filed 1/14, for a couple of weeks, nothing when I checked online or called and spoke to anyone. I was told maybe 12 weeks. When I looked this morning, I was authorized but there was a message that an adjustment may be taken out so I called. I was told that they were deducting for a previous overpayment and as a result, they were sending a check instead of a dd. Does anyone know how long the check process takes? I doubt the 2 wk time frame the lady gave because I am still waiting on my pin from when I registered on the 14th
-
filed the 25th excepted the 26 still no ddd, it says we are unable to provide your refund status online.
-
Susan & Sean – Great! I am hoping for Monday.
-
Woke to DD this morning in Chase bank!!
-
DD received this morning to Wells Fargo account. Have a good tax season, folks.
-
Ok filed on the 23 accepted on the 24th and first time I checked the state site it said no info the the next day it said they could not show info online and the two most common reason were address or or forgot the other reason from what I am hearing alot of people have gotten this message from the site also..??
-
Hi All – Filed California on the 7th of January, accepted on the 14th, approved the 24th and direct deposit just hit my account at 12:58pm. Hopefully the rest of you aren’t far behind!
-
@susan & @dee
I did not receive my DD this morning and there doesn’t appear to be a pending deposit. I’m thinking we’ll see it Wed-Fri next week. Good luck guys, I’ll update once the DD has been received. See you next year.
-
@sean very much so :( did you get your DD already? and yes, hoping for Monday or Tuesday.
-
@ Sean
Did you see anything this morning? I think we had sa meeting authorization date.
-
@dee – damn, that’s disappointing.. i think you’ll see it in your account by Mon/Tues
-
Do they deposit on Saturdays? I didn’t wake up to a DD this morning (boo) I was authorized on the 23rd, hoping to see my $ tomorrow or Monday.
-
Hi everyone!
I filed this morning with HRB and it was accepted 30 mins later. What is the typical turnaround time? Should I expect an approval and deposit in a week or so or does it take a bit longer? -
Cristina- when was your refund authorized? I was authorized on the 23rd, hoping for a DD tomorrow!
-
Refund authorized 01/26 per FTB. Last year it was authorized on 01/22 and received refund 01/28. Hopefully get DD tomorrow.
-
Glad to hear DD already dropping! I was approved on 1/26.. so hopefully see a DD tomorrow!
-
Woke up to my dd!
-
DD pending for tomorrow!
-
Authorized on 1/22, still no dd in bank yet. I do seem to recall getting ca refunds on Fridays in the past. So hoping to see something thus Friday.
-
Logged in this morning, got this message:
We authorized your refund on Tuesday, January 26, 2016.
Please allow:
10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or
25 business days to receive your refund by check.
If we made any adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
-
This morning mine says it was approved yesterday. That’s all it says, but good news!
-
I don’t have any info on the where’s my refund link, but on MY FTB, it says processed now (updated today) but there are $0.00 everywhere for credits. So IDK if that means it still has to be finalized and sent, but it’s a step.
-
@tinabear
FTB now says my tax forms were received on 1/15. No further update.
-
Ca messing with me again! No info on FTB this morning…
-
@tinabear – I ordered it on 1.19, got it on 1.23.. pretty quick.
Hoping for an update tomorrow/Wed
-
Well that’s good news! I got a lil antsy when I couldn’t see any info and went ahead and registered myself. Then it seems as if as soon as I completed that the system recognized me and I was able to see my status on FTB. Took about two days though and it’s usually instant like WMR… How long did it take to get the pin?
-
FTB sent me my pin number. I was able to log-in and see that my return had been “received”. The tracker tool still says “unable to find”.
-
What I am noticing right now is that if you filed through TT your getting an update, but if you filed directly with the state your not getting any update via the refund checker.
Double checked my FTB account though and I know they received it, but it hasn’t moved any at all.
Has anyone who files directly with state been able to see an update yet?
I know CA updated their FTB site this year, wondering if this is a bug or something.
-
Susan, I used TT.
I typically have my state refund within a week, tops.
Still no dd, but I’ll keep checking!
-
Correction: I filed 2014 directly through FTB but 2015 through TT.
-
Hey All,
I filed directly through FTB and when I checked this AM my status change to : your refund was authorized on 1/22/16… However, I have a netspend and no $ has hit yet?
Will keep you all posted
-
@Jen
Did you file directly with state or through a tax service?
-
Filed 1/18
Accepted 1/19
On 1/22 got the message that they could not show my info online.Today have this message
We authorized your refund on Friday, January 22, 2016.Please allow:
10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or
25 business days to receive your refund by check.
If we made any adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.
-
Hello my CA friends ! So here is my situation so far:
1/19- filed both federal and state with TT and both were accepted within 3 hours.
1/20- check FTB.gov, said we have no records…. Blah blah
1/21- at 1pm same message as mentioned above
Checked again at 8pm, gave a message stated I was entering the wrong info and I’m certain I was!
1/22- checked at 9 am, now it’s saying we received your return on 1/19 and then the generic time processing message…I called a few hours ago and the rep Keith said everything appears to be processing as normal then gave me the 7-10 timeframe for refund to be issued …
I must say normally I get my ca refund within 3-4 days. Things do seem a bit different this year -
Yeah, I am receiving same message. Something is different this year. Hope it updates soon.
-
New message today:

I filed on the 11th directly through ftb Cal file whenever I check wmr it tells me we cannot give any information online called and spoke to a report yesterday and she said it was still processing and I should see something by the end of next week. Something seems different this year, I’ve always filed through Calfile had an update on where’s my refund within 3 days and my refund within 10 days.
-
Filed on Jan. 15. TurbotTax indicated received on Jan. 19. Just did CA FTB chat and the rep indicated that it takes up to 7 business days for the receipt of the tax return to “post.” Hope that helps.
-
@byrdchem & @susan
I’m getting the same message:
“We do not have a record of your 2015 California Income Tax return in our files.”
Accepted on 1/19. Can’t check anything online because they have to mail the pin number for any FTB account.
I’ll update when there is any change.
-
My California return was accepted (TurboTax) on 1/19/16, but the CA FTB web site says “We do not have a record of your 2015 California Income Tax return in our files.”
Does this sound normal?
Thanks,
Larry
-
Filed 01/15 directly with state FTB. Confirmed received, but no other updates since then. Hoping tomorrow.
-
I was wondering if anyone in CA has received their refund yet. Mine was accepted on 1/31 and it is still processing. I received Federal DD on 2/8.
Thanks,
Kim-
CA Return accepted @ 9:36am according to TT. No updates on CA website, should see that tmrw!
-
Filed on 1.15 to CA, still pending on TT. I imagine we’ll see movement tomorrow morning.
-
I filed on 1/26, it was authorized on 1/27. Will update when I receive DD
-
Anybody receive CA state refund yet? I filled on the 12 and it still says they have no record of it yet.
-
I filed on 2/6, was received the same day and approved on 2/10. Today (the 24th) make 10 business days since I filed and nothing. I called and It turns out there was a $109 overpayment from unemployment over a year ago that I wasn’t aware of so they were taking the $109 from my refund. What this does is automatically trigger a paper check to be sent instead of the direct deposit I had set up when I e-filed. The rep I talked to on the phone said that it could now be 2-3 weeks from the approval date until i get my check in the snail mail and I will not be getting a direct depot from the state of California at all. It could be as late as March 3rd until I have the check in hand and another 1-2 days after that for it to clear once I deposit it in my bank. This BS happen to anyone else?
-
I filed on 2/7, and my refund was authorized on 2/10. It says to allow 10 days for my refund to be DD. Haven’t received it as of yet.
-
No my mom hasn’t yet. She filed it 1/31 and no CA refund yet
-
-
