California refunded more than Turbotax calculated

I got a letter from the Franchise Tax Board saying that my Direct Deposit was disallowed for CODE: 15.

That meant they changed the refund amount. Great!

 

When the check arrived, it was for $45 MORE than Turbotax calculated. 

 

Although I worked for the State of California for parts of 5 decades, I dislike having to rely on FTB to correct the apparent error.

 

Since the error was not found by a competing commercial product, there appears to be no recourse from Intuit.

I suppose that I could contend that the FTB's 10 acre facility is a commercial enterprise, as it generates millions of dollars.
