who do i contac to find out the status of my state refund from last year

i bet the octuplet mom ISN'T getting iou's.....

i bet the octuplet mom is getting iou's......

why don't you guys just go out and have 14 kids! then the state of cali will pick it up for you and pay you to feed and clothe them! she's getting paid......

I feel the same way about waiting for my tax refund from the state of ca. just remember one thing that is in our favor. these bums that are setting on our money won't be in office long when we as voters band togather as one to kick them all out of office even if we have to file a recall vote to get them out once and for all

According to the NYS Refund Status website-NYS has paid 1.75 Billion Dollars to over 2.5 million taxpayers! I do not know even one!!!!!!!

It’s funny how mad you guys are all getting. You know immigrants pay taxes too and who cares if they “steal your identity” they’re just working your social security number which means you’ll get more when you retire!!! So stop b****ing because they’re probably doing jobs you’d never do anyway AND really, so there are immigrants on food stamps, they’re not the only ones. I think it’s a lot sadder to have U.S. citizens live of the government considering it’s pretty much against the law for us to NOT go to school until we’re eighteen and California has the cheapest college tuition with so much financial aid that is totally independent of income, so even if our parents are rich school is pretty much free so long as you do good in high school so what’s our excuse for living pay check to pay check? NONE! So stop complaining and if you find yourself in the situation where a state return check is what is going to determine if your going to make your car payment or mortgage payment, they you probably shouldn’t own a house or car to begin with. Suing(sp) the state…really? That’s what’s wrong with us in the first place, we think there is always somebody else to blame and everybody is so quick to sue…looking for a quick way to come upon money. How about you take up all that energy ya’ll have from anger and apply it to something good like community service. Go pick up some trash or something. J It’ll make you feel better and you’ll be saving the state money and then maybe you’ll get your 200 bucks faster!!!

According to my Tax Enrollment Specialist has more class time then a CPA, the State has 45 days from the date anyone filed their income tax returns to send out our refunds, if after 45 days the state hasn't sent out our refunds, then the state has to pay start paying interest on all those refunds. At the moment, they are pushing to send us our returns, because they don't want to pay the interest. If you want to clarify this information, contact the State.

What do ya think would happen if ya wrote the State of Cali. an IOU for the MONEY that you OWE THEM? It would get UGLY.I WANT MY F.....g money!!!

I live paycheck to paycheck practically and I owe the state of CA $1400+?! WTF?!

I got my CA state taxes back today. $700.00 so there is hope

My girlfriend and I are both owed money back from the state. Both of us filed early and chose direct deposit. They claim that our taxes have been received and processed and that they are 'working hard' to refund our money, but that we should 'allow up to 25 business days from March 9. You should get your refund by April 10th". This is so much BS. The total amount of interest that they are STEALING from workers is huge. My guess is that if Arnie holds up several hundred billion dollars for a month and squats on it like the big fat scumbag that he is, then the interest earned is money that is owed to the people whose money earned it. If Arnie wouldn't have settled with Enron for pennies on the dollar in his first 90 days, then the money we would have eventually recovered from Enron might have come in handy during this crisis ... don't you think? Bring back Gray Davis! At least he was fighting Enron and other Energy gougers to get the money they stole back. I wonder what Ken Lay, Dana Rohrbacher, and Arnold Schwarzenneger talked about in that Beverly Hills Hotel in 2000 three months before the recall of Davis effort officially got under way? "Fearing that Davis would take steps to re-regulate California's power market that Lay spent years lobbying California lawmakers to open up to competition, Lay recruited Schwarzenegger, Riordan, Milken, and other powerful business leaders like Bruce Karatz, chief executive of home builder Kaufman & Broad; Ray Irani, chief executive of Occidental Petroleum; and Kevin Sharer, chief executive of biotech giant Amgen. The 90-minute secret meeting Lay convened took place inside a conference room at the Peninsula Hotel. Lay and other Enron representatives gave a four-page document to Schwarzenegger, Riordan and Milken titled "Comprehensive Solution for California," which called for an end to federal and state investigations into Enron's role in the California energy crisis and said consumers should pay for the state's disastrous experiment with deregulation through multibillion rate increases. Another bullet point in the four-page document said "Get deregulation right this time — California needs a real electricity market, not government takeovers. The irony of that statement is that California's flawed power market design helped Enron earn more than $500 million in one year, a tenfold increase in profits from a previous year and its coordinated effort in manipulating the price of electricity in California, which other power companies mimicked, cost the state close to $70 billion and led to the beginning of what is now the state's $38 billion budget deficit. The power crisis forced dozens of businesses to close down or move to other states, where cheaper electricity was in abundant supply, and greatly reduced California's tax revenue... Davis, who refused to cave in to the demands of companies like Enron even while Democrats, Republicans and the public criticized him, was right all along. Maybe Californians ought to cut Davis some slack." from "Deregulator III: Rise of the GOP Machine by Jason Leopold

this is a joke so is cal!

The FTB website says my refund was authorized for payment on March 12th. I opted for direct deposit when I transmitted my return on February 1st. Since the state owes me several thousand dollars, I'm exasperated to say the least. To date, no refund...

Illegal immigrants are obviously not solely to blame for our issues here in California. However they are a drain on our economy. When Ellis island was being used the immigrant system was different. People would come to this country and stand in line for days just to have the opportunity to get a real job and pay taxes and be part of this country, not to take advantage of the system and stay under the radar. I have a good friend who immigrated here from Scotland about 4 years ago. He and his mother spent thousands of dollars and countless hours getting the paperwork and documents needed to come over here legally. As soon as he graduated high school he left for the navy. He is now a real citizen and takes pride in this country. He doesn't sit on his ass and collect a government check while waving a mexican flag on the front of his house. And as far as the MLK Jr. thing goes. Martin Luther King wanted everyone to be treated equal. Should criminals be treated the same as non criminals? Obviously not, so there are some exceptions there. And I'm not sure if you bleeding heart liberals are aware or not, but coming to this country illegally is a crime, and using someone elses social security number to get a job is a crime. But apparently they get special rights and are allowed to break the law right?

Hard times show a person’s true color. When all said and done, our action defines who we are. We all deserve our tax refund! I am a mother or 3 young children and I could really use the money but I know being angry, resentful and mean won’t get the money to me any sooner. The people responsible for this mess have to deal with that truth every night. Whether they feel bad or not that's on them. I can't control what other people are doing, however I can and will control my happiness. Why add anger to a complicated (stressful) time? So if you have any informative info about tax return, please post it. And if you are an immigrant reading this, I totally understand why you’d want to risk your life and that of your family to come to the United States. It's one of the greatest country in the world. It will defend the weak; Americans “will stand when standing isn’t easy”. Liberty and Justice for all at a cost of course. Would being kind, positive and helping those that are so much worst situation than you, so bad. I have faith in God and I have faith in this Country. I know my refund will come, it’s taking a little longer than I’d like but when it gets here I’m going to Disneyland.!!!!!

I used to be stable and think just how you do...and now im in need of medicare for me and my kids..due to lose of job....you blame the immigrants ...if you look at your family tree were all immigrants...no one has the right to tell others their not welcomed when its a free country...All they want is to provide a better place for their family just like us...if you were in their shoes would you think that way....your all mad about state holding your refund...but what do the needy people have to do with this...its our goverments fault....they get paid good money...while we get our wages cut and lose our jobs,homes,cars...stop blaming the poor and start blaming the goverment.....

Well, the Govenator is really a liberal. Not surprised since he sleeps with one every night, you know, its bound to rub off. Tax and spend is their motto and the backbone of this Califlower economy, you and I the tax-payer are taking it in the shorts. Our local hospital is overflowing with illegal immigrants looking for something and willing to give nothing in return. Five BILLION we, tax payers dish out each year to illegals. I am not opposed to immigrates, just make sure they go through the process my mother did 60 years ago from Australia, the LEGAL WAY!!!!

I mailed my Fed and Ca State return 1 month ago. Already have my Fed check. Checked the CA FTB website. They have no record of my return. Called their hot-line. They said to wait another month and if there is still no record with the FTB, then send another tax package annotated "possible duplicate". I live 30 miles from the CA mailing site. What an absolute joke. I have already reduced my state witholding to prevent ever having a refund again. Would I spend my refund in California. No way! I'll spend it over the Nevada State border for non-perishables, furniture, etc.

IT IS ALWAYS FASCINATING TO ME WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ALL THIS HATE TOWARDS ILLEGAL ALIENS. THIS KIND OF HATE IS WHAT MLK JR WORKED SO HARD TO HAVE OUR COUNTRY MOVE AWAY FROM. I'M SURE THE GRAND MAJORITY OF YOU WHO CALL THEM THAT ARE THE SAME TYPE TO GO INTO THEIR COUNTRIES AND EXPLOIT THEM SO THAT THEY ARE FORCED TO COME BEG FOR LOW PAYING JOBS HERE. IT'D BE INTERESTING IF YOU DID SOME RESEARCH ON SOME OF THE MAJOR PRIVATE AND PUBLIC OWNED COMPANIES LIKE KLEENEX (KIMBERLY CLARK) WHO ARE DESTROYING THEIR FORESTS, EVICTING THEM FROM THEIR HOMES, AND DRIVING THEM TO RISK THEIR LIVES TO CROSS THE BORDER IN SEARCH OF A BETTER WAY OF LIFE. THIS TAX REFUND ISSUE IS NOT PRIMARILY TO BLAME ON ILLEGAL ALIENS BUT OUR POOR GOV. AND LEGISLATURE.

I have had it. The California legislature and idiot gov. caused this. Why pay all of the illegal's bills---education, medical, housing, prisonsers. When the state can't even pay money OWED to the citizens, the state is over---this is beyond immoral. This is a national disgrace that tax payers cannot get their own hard earned money. Get rid of all the worhtless state workers and let private industry handle things---what a joke California is---nice weather but too expensive and crazy for me---we are leaving and california can find another tax payer to pick up my share of the tab.

Howard Jarvis is currently working on a solution for the problem with our corrupt legislature and governor again. Pretty sad that non-government employees have to take matters in to their own hands to solve this problem.

Can anyone tell what "information does not match". I e-filed on 1/28/09n an was accepted 1/29/09. I received the message recieved and being processed up until Thrusday 3/12/09. Does the new update mean they are finally working on my return?

The Governor and our legislators are holding us hostage, because the only thing they care about is staying in power. Keeping our tax refunds lets them expand the welfare state which assures them the votes to remain in power. The only way for us to take back our state is for the hard working people to form a coalition like Howard Jarvis did years ago and vote these self serving people out of office.! It is easy to complain but my father always said actions speak louder than words.

This "great" state we live in is ran by a bunch of gr**dy di***gs!!! Thursday March 12, our governor tells people that the budget issue is solved. Today, March 14, his spokeshold tells people that he knew the budget wasn't solved and knew that these increased taxes on the hard working middle class of California would only drive state revenues in to a downward spiral. Where does it end? Kick all the people that don't deserve to be here out!!! That goes for the illegal aliens and their blood sucking anchor babies, all the people out there collecting welfare that shouldn't, and the greedy politicians who don't know how to say no to the unions and don't know how to stop spending all of our money!!! Everyone just make sure that for the special ballots in May you vote NO on prop 1A and 1B. If we can stop their revenue enough then the state will go in to bankruptcy and a judge will sit the legislatures down and tell them how to get their heads out

I have only one. If they send me an "IOU" can I send it back as a property tax payment? After all it is guaranteed by the state or is it???

IF THE TAXPAYER RECEIVED AN IOU IN LIEU OF THE ACTUAL REFUND DOES THIS HAVE TO BE REPORTED AS INCOME IN 2008. IS THE IOU A NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENT AND THE SAME AS CASH RECEIVED IN 2008.

Get rid of illegal immigrants who go to CA schools, used food stamps and used public hospitals. think California before it is too late!

This is rediculous!!!!!!!!!!

we need to file a class action suit for our 2008 refund WITH INTEREST!! Where is the pricipled lawyer to take this?

" The status has changed as of when i last checked Monday 3/9/09. Your return has been received and processed. Franchise Tax Board is working with the State Controller’s Office to issue tax refunds as quickly as possible. Please allow up to 25 business days to receive your refund." My question is 25 business days from when? That date was conveniently omitted from the FTB site. Are we to surmise that date is March 6th when the state supposedly began processing payments again, or another stall tactic? I understand the the budget issues, I just want a straight answer.

can we all just get along! we live in a great state i would not want to live anywhere else, well, maybe seattle. yeah, seattle btw the seahawks are going to win the super bowl next year so take your tax return and put it all on the seahawks to win the super bowl thats what im gonna do. booya!

I think enough is enough and just like the last governor was voted out a years back. I don't see why this can't happen again after all it seems governors nowadays think they can get away with many things until we as a state put a stop to it. I think the time is now and the people responsible for the situation we are in should be held accountable. Maybe, once they are unemployed and they themselves do their taxes will feel that money is vital and then they can understand where we all are coming from. I don't blame anyone for feeling the way they feel but if this continues any longer our voice will have to be heard and once american's unite you know that this is when change will eventually come.

I moved out of the God forsaken state that we call California. Maybe if the state of California stopped giving away the money that rightfully belongs to U.S. Citizens, then they would not be in such a "BROKE" status. What joke. There are so many broken systems within the state and federal government it is ridiculous. Maybe if Ca would stop letting 7 mil Illegal Aliens in the state each year there would be enough money for the real tax payers, or I know maybe if they did something about the Illegal Aliens stealing our identity then there would be more money spent on real issues like the budget

this forum is for people that are looking for information about their state refund..it is nobody's business what they do with their money, if they receive food stamps, welfare or any other kind of assistance. Watch what you say one day you might need help also, especially with the way times are now you never know. Speak to people the way you would like people to speak to you!! Do you have nothing better to do than to call people morons?? Get a life

If you all would have saved some money you would have to worry about getting your "refund" you are all a bunch of morons.

I wonder if the State Controller understands that by delaying state tax refunds he is eliminating the only monetary source that would have gone directly to working families who are struggling. Think of all the late fees tax payers have incurred because they believed that they could depend on the State of California to reimburse them in a timely manner. The left can keep their stimulus just let us keep more of what we earn and we will be just fine.

The State of California is run by a bunch of thugs. Last year, they decided out of the blue that I owed them back taxes from a previous year. (I didn’t, but how could I dispute it?) They garnished my check $2927 right off the top. Bam! No notice! Just stole my money! Now these scum bags owe me $1924 for this year. Where is my money, you filthy criminals?
