That's very possible. Federal and state come from different places at different times. The last several years I have received my California refund a couple weeks before federal. The IRS is slow and and it's still early in the season. It will take them awhile to catch up processing all the returns that were waiting for efiling to open. I saw a news report that they had like 35 million returns on one day or the first week instead of the 15 million last year.
