Kea Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 I live in TX and don't do very many state returns, and have not had any problems with the ones I have done. Thursday morning I sent in a Federal with a CA piggyback. The Fed rejected (I missed a checkbox) that afternoon and I have not received an ack from CA. I have resubmitted the Fed and it is now accepted. What will happen with the CA? Can it be accepted if the Fed rejected (originally)? I cannot resubmit CA until I get a rejection from CA. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Quote
Virtual Managed Solutions Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 99% of the time, as it was a piggy backed state, it will come back rejected if the Fed was originally rejected. It may take a while for the CA ack to come through. A lot of people have been complaining about it taking longer than usual to hear a response. Once the rejection comes through, just e-file the CA state alone. Should be all set after that. Quote
taxperson Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Just wait for the CA ack. CA isn't a piggyback state and isn't transmitted to the IRS but directly to the state. The status of the fed return has nothing to do with CA. Quote
Tax Prep by Deb Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 And yes it is taking a looooooooong time for Ca acks to come back. I still have some from 1/27 and 1/28, however I am starting to get a few coming back today. I think things may have gotten clogged a bit somewhere down the line, but oh well my clients already know it's any body's guess as to when to expect the state refund anyway! Deb! Quote
Kea Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks everyone. I finally got the ack today and it was accepted (on 1/28). My CA client said she saw on the news that for returns submitted by last Friday, they would get their refunds. Quote
