According to the FTB's own website (https://www.ftb.ca.gov/refund/index.asp), they claim 98% of error-free returns with direct deposit are processed within 2 weeks. That's clearly not happening based on all these comments. I spent 3 hours last Tuesday trying different options on their phone system and finally got through to someone who admitted they're dealing with staffing shortages and a new processing system rollout that's causing delays. They recommended NOT filing an amended return or duplicate return as that will reset your place in line. Just keep checking the Where's My Refund tool and wait it out, as frustrating as that is.

I might be able to offer some potentially helpful information. After waiting approximately 9 weeks for my California refund (filed February 1st), I received it somewhat unexpectedly last Thursday. What seemed to possibly make a difference was checking my FTB account online rather than just using the refund status tool. In my account, I could see that they had actually adjusted my refund amount slightly (reduced by about $42, presumably due to a calculation error on my part), which may have been part of what was causing the delay. It might be worth checking your FTB online account if you haven't already, as it sometimes contains more detailed information than the basic refund status checker.

The "no info available" part is actually the key here. Real offsets have paper trails! Idaho's system is actually pretty good about documentation - unlike the DMV where your paperwork disappears into the void, never to be seen again 😂. This sounds more like a processing error that the tax commission needs to fix. They're required by state law to provide offset information, so if there's "no info" then something's broken in their system.

From my experience working with Idaho tax issues, here's what you need to know: • Idaho uses an automated system called TRIPS (Tax Refund Intercept Program System) to match refunds against outstanding debts • Common offset sources include: child support, unemployment overpayments, college tuition, state taxes from previous years • You should have received a pre-offset notice before filing • If no notice was received, you can appeal within 30 days of discovering the offset • Request a debt verification letter from both Tax Commission and the agency claiming the debt • If it's a legitimate debt, you can often set up a payment plan for the remainder Don't wait too long to address this - the appeal window is limited!

Your refund is likely held in Examination Pipeline processing. This occurs when there's a change in filing status from MFJ to Single. The IRS utilizes Form 1040X verification protocols even when filing a regular return after status change. Check for TC 424 on your Account Transcript - this indicates examination has been initiated. If present, expect 45-60 day resolution timeframe from the examination start date. This is standard procedure, not punitive action.

I was in your exact position last year! Filed Feb 9th, divorced Jan 3rd, and waited until May 2nd for my refund. What finally worked was contacting my congressional representative's office. They have dedicated caseworkers for IRS issues and got my refund released within 10 days of contacting them. The IRS had flagged my return for "verification" due to my filing status change but never sent me a notice. Congressional inquiry lit a fire under them like nothing else could!

I experienced the exact same transcript anomaly with my February 11th filing. After 32 days of N/A status, my transcript suddenly populated with a TC150 (return filed) code and a TC570 (additional account action pending) followed by a TC971 (notice issued). Three days later, the TC571 (resolved additional account action) appeared, and my refund was direct deposited within 5 business days. The system appears to be processing in sequential batches this year.

Military family here too - this happens to us almost every year! Last year we filed on February 15th and our transcript showed N/A until March 22nd. Then suddenly everything updated at once and we got our refund on March 29th. The IRS has special processing procedures for military returns with multiple state filings, and they often get grouped into specific processing batches. I wouldn't worry until you hit the 60-day mark - that's when you should start making calls. The good news is that when it finally updates, it usually processes quickly after that.

Has anyone who received their deposit already checked whether the amount matches exactly what was expected? I'm asking because last year I had a small adjustment (about $120 less than calculated) with no explanation, and I had to go through a whole process to figure out why. If you got your deposit already, can you confirm if the amount matched your expected refund exactly or if there were any adjustments?

Just a word of caution for Emerald Card users... be careful about counting on early deposits. My friend last year had a March 15th DDD and was checking hourly starting March 13th. Nothing came early, so she called H&R Block who said everything was fine. On the actual DDD, still nothing. Turned out there was a verification flag on her account that H&R Block couldn't see but was holding up the deposit. It eventually came 11 days after the DDD. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, just suggesting maybe don't make immediate plans for the money until it's actually there.
