The IRS makes it simple to track your tax refund. Simply go to the refund tracker at https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund and input your SSN, your filing status, and your expected refund amount. The Franchise Tax Board of CA also offers a refund tracker. Simply go to https://www.ftb.ca.gov/refund/ and provide your SSN, the numbers to your address, your zip code, and the expected refund. Although turnaround times vary, you can typically expect your CA refund in a week to 10 days, and your IRS refund in 10 days to 3 weeks.
