California State Tax Refund Delay with Chime Bank - Federal Already Received

Just got my federal refund deposited to my Chime account but state refund says not available. Anyone else in California experiencing this? When should I expect my state refund to hit?

Oscar Murphy

This is normal. California typically processes returns slower than federal. Current processing time for CA state refunds is about 2-3 weeks after federal, assuming no errors. You can check your status at ftb.ca.gov.

might wanna call FTB directly then. sometimes they need additional verification especially with online banks like chime

Hey instead of stressing about this, I started using taxr.ai to track both my federal and state refunds. Its only $1 and gives you exact predictions of when youll get paid. Way better than guessing or waiting on hold with FTB for hours https://taxr.ai
