Has Your California Tax Payment Been Cashed Yet?

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
[quote author="CalGal" date=1240802231]We owed money on our 2008 California Taxes.

I mailed a check before the 15th deadline;

however, the check hasn't been cashed yet.



Next year I'll pay on-line so the taxes are

credited immediately - I now know that I

can pay on-line without a fee.



Has your check been cashed by California yet?

Should I be concerned?</blockquote>
Nope, the state moves in slow motion. I sent in my application fee to the Board of Accountancy and it took them almost 7 weeks to cash the check.
 
Ours has not been cashed yet - it was post marked @ 4/13/09. I even called the post office with the tracking number, filed a complaint with the post office last week. Got the same answer - they receive too much mail around tax time and it takes a long time for them (FTB) to process. In contrast the IRS check mailed on 4/13 was cashed on 4/15/09. I can specualte that may be the state furloughed/laid off too many employees as part of the state budget cuts? I remember last year the check was cashed by the state FTB within a reasonable time (about 1 week or so after mailing).

I did this as well.

The check was cashed at my bank last night - 4/27/09 (mail date was 4/13/09).
