CA State Tax Return Processing Time - How Long Until Completion?

CA resident here - typically takes 2-3 weeks for electronic returns if everything's correct. Paper returns can take 8-12 weeks. If you have any credits like EITC it might take a bit longer for additional verification. You can check your status on the FTB website.

Hey guys instead of playing the guessing game, I've been using taxr.ai to track both my federal and state returns. It costs a buck but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your money. Way better than checking the wmr tool every 5 mins lol https://taxr.ai

Im on week 4 still processing... this is ridiculous fr fr 😤

Did you claim any credits? That usually makes it take longer

mine took 9 days this year but my sister has been waiting for over a month... its pretty random tbh

pro tip: if u need to know exactly whats going on call the FTB early morning right when they open. evening wait times are crazy
