California should send you a letter explaining it in a couple weeks. Does it look official? It might be fake or a scam. You don't recognize the amount as anything? It's not for the CA Middle Class Tax Refund? I assume you meant you got the 2021 Direct Deposit in 2022 when you filed. Could it be a small amount like for interest? Or you left off an estimated payment you made or an extension payment or applied your 2020 refund to 2021? Could be lots of reasons.
