California FTB Refund Stuck on Processing Since January 23 - Anyone Else Waiting for Issued Status?

Anyone still waiting on their FTB refund to show issued? My portal shows two white checkmarks and stuck on processing. Let's track when FTB is actually releasing these refunds so we know what to expect. Share your timeline here if youre also waiting for issued status. I checked my "Your Refund Results" page today and here's what I see: βœ“ Received βœ“ Processing β–‘ Issued The page specifically shows that "We received your 2024 California Income Tax return on: Thursday, January 24, 2025." Then it says "We are processing your return at this time. Please allow 1 month from the date you filed your return to complete processing. If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail." It's been almost a month since I filed and it's still stuck on processing. Has anyone moved to the "Issued" stage yet? I'm getting a bit anxious since I was expecting the money by now. At the bottom of the page it asks "What did you think about this service?" with a note that the survey takes 30 seconds, but I'm more concerned about when my actual refund will be issued! Anyone else in the same boat or have you received yours already? When did you file and how long did it take to move from Processing to Issued?

Tax specialist here - FTB typically processes returns within 2-3 weeks after acceptance. The two checkmarks mean your return passed initial verification. Now its just waiting for final review and funding. Be patient, its moving along normally.

Yes, during peak season (January-April) it can take up to 6 weeks. If you need specifics about your return, check it on taxr.ai

Guys seriously check out taxr.ai - its been a game changer for understanding whats actually happening with both federal and state returns. Cost me $4.99 but gave me an exact timeline prediction and explained every code on my transcript. Worth every penny tbh https://taxr.ai

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

It analyzes everything - all codes, dates, amounts, even cross references previous years patterns. Gave me peace of mind knowing exactly when to expect my refund instead of guessing!
