I submitted my taxes on Saturday, 1/13. Federal return was accepted within an hour. The CA state return has been pending since then. I'm seeing others in this discussion who are starting to hear back and be able to resubmit, so I'm hopeful I'll get some kind of word soon. BTW, don't bother with the online chat for FTB; no help. I did get through to someone at FTB and they said they're aware of a problem with the major tax software (TurboTax, H&R Block) and that it's stuck in those systems and not even sent out yet to the state. They said to wait three weeks and then if there's no progress, to print and mail it to them. I really really hope that won't be the case.
