How do I know if my tax return was accepted?

In California, if your tax return was accepted, you will receive a notice in the mail from the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) that confirms it was accepted. You can also log in to your FTB account to view your account details and check if your return was accepted. If you filed electronically, you should receive an electronic confirmation within 24 hours. If you filed a paper return, you should have received an acknowledgement letter within four weeks of submitting your tax return. If you do not receive anything, you can contact the FTB to get information about the status of your return. You should have the following information ready when you contact them: your Social Security number, the tax year you are inquiring about, the filing status used on your return and the amount of your refund or balance due. If you used a tax preparer to file your return, you can also contact them and they will be able to look up the status of your return. Finally, if your return was held up due to a missing or incorrect Social Security number, you should get a notice from the FTB that tells you why your return was not accepted. Overall, if you want to know the status of your return, you can check the mail, your FTB account, contact the FTB or contact your tax preparer.
