FTB Agent processed refund but got Notice of Tax Return Change - confused about owing?
Called FTB yesterday and the agent said she processed my refund, told me to expect it in 4 weeks. But when I checked my account today theres a notice showing up. Really confused - does this mean I actually owe instead of getting a refund? Makes zero sense after what the agent told me

Tax professional here. Without seeing the actual notice content, it's hard to give specific guidance. However, it's common for the FTB to make adjustments to returns that can affect your refund amount. The notice should explain any changes made and whether you owe additional tax or are still due a refund. I recommend uploading your transcript to taxr.ai for a detailed analysis of your situation.

•Its incredibly accurate. I've been using it with clients for months. Saves hours of manual transcript review and gives super specific timeline predictions.

Just used taxr.ai for my transcript analysis and it was a game changer! For just $1 it showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when to expect it. Way better than trying to piece together info from different sources. https://taxr.ai

•Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

•omg it does SO much more! It analyzes every code, explains what's happening, and gives you a specific timeline. Even tells you if theres anything you need to do to speed things up. Best dollar I ever spent fr fr 💯

The FTB is such a mess rn. One person tells you one thing, then you get something completely different in writing 🤡

Can you login to your FTB account and check if theres an amount listed on the notice? That would help clear things up

Wait for the actual notice to come in the mail. Phone reps sometimes miss details that could affect your refund amount.
