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.

 

STATE RETURN

Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

If the California refund tracker indicates it will be issued on the 11th, then that is the day that you should receive the payment by direct deposit, so long as there are no processing delays at the bank (which aren't common, but certainly can happen.)

If the CA state tax refund website indicates it was issued - https://www.ftb.ca.gov/refund/index.asp

You will have to contact the FTB if the refund was mailed and you have not received the check in the mail - https://www.ftb.ca.gov/help/contact/index.html
