If I already received my federal taxes, why havent I received my Ca state refund yet?

[420caliqueen17]

The IRS accepted both my federal and state returns in May. I got my federal return awhile ago now. But no state return still.

The federal tax returns are sent to the IRS and the state tax returns are sent to the individual states.  Federal and state are separate tax returns sent to separate tax authorities.

If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...

Did you use the Desktop program or the Online version?  Are you sure CA was Accepted?  The IRS only accepts the federal.  When you efile you get back 3 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second and third emails says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.  You get a separate email for state acceptance.

When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. What does it say?

Then only the state can tell you when you will get your refund. After Turbo Tax transmits your return they are done with their part. Track State Refund
