The IRS and your state operate independently of each other and therefore, the time frame in which each return is accepted and processed can vary. It is not unusual that one arrived before the other. Only the Franchise Tax Board can provide information regarding your state return after it has been accepted. Please see How do I track my California tax refund? for more information.
