To check the status of your state tax refund or state-issued payment, you should visit your specific state's taxation or revenue department website. Most states provide an online tool where you can check your refund status by entering details like your Social Security number, ZIP code, and refund amount. For example:

• If you are in California, use the California Franchise Tax Board's "Where's My Refund?" tool by providing your Social Security number, ZIP code, and exact refund amount

• For federal tax refunds, you can use the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool with your Social Security number, filing status, and refund amount

• For other states, you can find the appropriate contact or website through your state’s revenue or taxation department. Many states have similar online services or phone numbers to check refund status

If you received a state-issued check and want to verify or inquire about it, you should contact the issuing agency directly. For example, in Alabama, tax refunds and state payments are issued by the State Comptroller or the Department of Revenue, and they provide contact numbers for assistance

. In summary, to find your state check or refund:

• Identify your state’s tax or revenue department website.
• Use their refund status tool or contact them by phone.
• Have your Social Security number, refund amount, and other personal details ready.
• For federal refunds, use the IRS online tool or app.
