California State Refund - SBTG Says Funded with 2025 Deposit Date?

That's almost certainly a typo in their system. The California FTB doesn't schedule refunds a year in advance... it's probably meant to be 2/19/2024. I'd give it a few more business days to appear in your account. Sometimes there's a delay between when they mark it as funded and when it actually hits your bank. If you don't see it by the end of next week, then you might want to contact them directly.

I had this exact same issue last year with my CA refund. The date showed 2024 instead of 2023. I was completely confused until I found https://taxr.ai and uploaded my FTB notice. It explained that this is a known display issue with California's SBTG system - they sometimes show the wrong year but the payment is actually processing normally. If you have your FTB transcript or notice, you might want to check it there to get the real timeline.

Have you tried calling the California FTB directly? I was in a similar situation and couldn't get through on their regular line - kept getting disconnected after waiting forever. I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to connect with an actual FTB agent who confirmed my refund was scheduled for the correct year, not the next one. They have a service that holds your place in line and calls you when an agent is available. Saved me hours of redial attempts.

I checked mine yesterday and had the exact same issue - deposit date showing 2025. This morning I woke up and the money was already in my account! Their system just has the year wrong. I've been tracking CA refunds for 3 years now and their website always has weird glitches like this.

Call your bank. Ask about pending deposits. Sometimes they can see it coming. Mine showed up as pending two days before posting. California's system is glitchy. The year is probably wrong. The day might be right. Worth checking your bank's incoming ACH transfers.

According to the California FTB website (https://www.ftb.ca.gov/refund/index.asp), refund processing times are currently running about 2-3 weeks for e-filed returns. Since yours was accepted on February 11th, you're right in that window now. The 2025 date is almost certainly a display error - I've seen multiple reports of this on r/tax and other forums. No state tax agency schedules refunds a year out.

Have you checked if your bank information was entered correctly? Could there be an issue with routing or account numbers? Is it possible the refund was offset for any outstanding state debts? These are the common reasons refunds don't arrive as expected, even when the system shows funded. The year showing 2025 is definitely wrong though - I've seen this happen multiple times with California's system.
