I received my federal within 21 days of filing. It has been about 50ish days since filing and no state return here in California. Tried calling and nothing. Tried the website clicking where’s my refund and it says information unavailable online. It’s about a few days away from 2 whole months but again the federal hit very fast. Anyone else?

    Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.
