You can track your refund at California's Where's my refund? page. Select Check refund.

You'll have to enter the exact amount of your expected refund in whole dollars. You can find this by signing in to TurboTax.

It takes up to three weeks to process refunds for e-filed California returns, and up to four weeks for mailed returns. Some returns may take additional time to review, impacting refund processing. View current California Returns and Refunds processing times.

If you need additional help, contact the California Franchise Tax Board.
