You said state "check", but since you said "deposit to my account", I suspect you mean an electronic direct deposit.    

In any case, here are some things you should check before contacting the California FTB:

 

First, you need to be sure your state return was successfully filed.   If you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking at the Tax Home in your Online account.  Does it show as accepted, rejected, printed, started, ready to mail, or something else?

 

Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.

 

The FAQ below tells how to check on a California state refund.
