Yes, you can request a reissue of your Economic Impact check from 2021 if it remains uncashed. You will need to submit a written request along with your identifying information to the California Franchise Tax Board. Make sure to provide any relevant details that will help them locate your original check.

To request an extension for a corporate tax return in California, you typically need to file Form FTB 3537, which is the Corporation Estimate or Extension Payment. This form allows you to request an automatic six-month extension to file your return. Be sure to submit your payment along with the form by the original due date of the return to avoid penalties. If you owe taxes, it's essential to pay at least 90% of the expected tax to ensure the extension is accepted.

Yes, you can choose direct deposit to have your tax refund sent directly to your bank account instead of receiving a check. You will need to provide your bank account number and routing number when you file your tax return.

The easiest way to determine if your tax return has been received is to check your status online via the California Franchise Tax Board's website. They have a feature on their website called "Check Your Refund Status", which lets you see if your return has been received and processed. You'll need to input your social security number, mailing address, and the refund amount you claimed on your tax return. Keep in mind it usually takes a few weeks after you've mailed your return for it to show up in the system. If you filed electronically, the status should be available sooner.

If your California state tax refund was processed but you have not yet received it, it might be due to several possible reasons. The processing status only indicates that the review of your return has been completed. After processing, the refund still needs to be issued which takes additional time. Additionally, if you're expecting a paper check, consider possible postal delays. If you're expecting a direct deposit, make sure your bank details on file are correct. Also, note that your refund may have been reduced to pay off any outstanding government liabilities. Please continue to check the status of your refund, but if it hasn't arrived after an extended period, you may need further assistance.
