CA Preparers - any update on refund payments

[BulldogTom]

A few months ago, the CA State Controller stated he would not issue refund checks until the state had enough money to pay them. When the budget was passed, I never heard if he changed his position. Does anyone have an update?

I would like to give accurate information to my clients.

Thanks

Tom,

I just did a quick google and it appears the delay was relating to the last minute returns filed in October for 2009.

I didn't see any updated info regarding tax year 2010 either by google or direct on the FTB web site.

Has anyone gotten an CA e-file acks yet? Mine have all been accepted by FTB by ATX is still showing them waiting for ACKS. This is both on the e-file tracking page and on my return manager.

Deb!
