Filed Jan 23rd CA state refund - cycle 05 - no updates yet?
Filed my taxes on January 23rd with a cycle code 05. Its been 2 weeks and still no state refund from California. Anyone else in the same boat? Getting impatient checking WMR every Friday ðŸ˜

California typically takes 2-3 weeks for electronic returns without any issues. With cycle code 05, your updates will happen on Fridays. If you claimed EITC or ACTC, there might be additional delays. Keep checking your transcript for any updates.

•thanks for the info! do you know if having a dependent would slow things down?

•Yes, returns with dependents often take longer because they require additional verification, especially if its your first time claiming them

Hey, I was confused about my transcript too until I used taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. Only costs $1 but saved me hours of googling. Check it out: https://taxr.ai
