Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You still shouldn't have to file a California return, as a CA tax refund would not be CA taxable income. The only possible complication would be if you itemized your deductions on your federal return. In that case, the refund might be taxable federally, just as any other state refund could be. And if they send it to you, then I guess it's up to them to come after you if they want it back. 😁 You would think the fact that they're mailing it to FL would clue them in!
