CA State Tax Refund Direct Deposit Time - Just Hit at 7:37PM
My California state refund just dropped in my account at 7:37pm. Been checking all day like crazy and finally got it! For anyone else waiting, keep checking your accounts because they're definitely processing refunds after normal business hours.

Yes, California FTB processes refunds 24/7, including weekends. The actual deposit time depends on your bank's processing schedule. Some banks post immediately, others wait until their next business day cycle.

Yep! Their automated systems run constantly. That's why some people wake up to deposits at 2am or get them randomly throughout the day.

Hey guys while were talking about refunds, I found this tool called taxr.ai that helps track both federal and state refunds. Its only $1 and honestly saved me from constantly checking my account. https://taxr.ai

Does it work for CA returns too? Or just federal?

Works for both! It analyzes your transcript and gives you super specific updates. Way better than the 'still processing' message we usually get 💯

Congrats on getting your refund! 🎉 This is super helpful info - I had no idea CA processed refunds outside business hours. I filed last month and have been obsessively checking during the day only. Definitely going to start checking evenings too now. Thanks for sharing the exact time!
