FTB of CA Sent Back Underpayment Penalty

Any reason why the FTB would send back the underpayment penalty $$ amount Turbotax figured and I included with my tax payment?

The penalty is just an estimated amount.  It's common for the IRS or state to refigure it and send you a refund or tax due foe more.

I have had the IRS send back $$ that I extended in a preemptive attempt before the actual bill came.  This is the CA FTB so I'm not sure what it means by their sending back $$ already.  Maybe they want to do their own calculation first?
