but I have NOT filed my taxes yet for this year for my 2024 return.
No one here in a user community forum is going to know specifically why CA FTB sent you the money or even what tax year it was for. Perhaps they corrected a past return (in which case you may also get a letter in a couple weeks.) In any case, you can phone the CA Franchise Tax Board during their business hours to directly inquire about it and have them explain it. I believe they also have online chat.
Here's how to get to their contact site:

Also see the next comment below that Tax Expert @AmyC just left you that warns about a possible scam. Be sure and talk to the California FTB to see what is going on.
