I filed back right before Easter and I still haven’t gotten my state refund. I live in Rhode Island. The online “service” says they either don’t have my information or I need to call the department. When I call they always say no one is taking calls and to call back later. It’s completely frustrating and I would like to know what is going on!!!!!!

Just a note – unless you’re filing for the first time and don’t know how much money you get back, or you have had a change in the number of dependents or a significant change in income, you really should adjust your withholding so that you don’t get much back on your taxes.

By getting a big refund, it means you are having too much money taken out of your paycheck. The government uses your money that it receives throughout the year, earns interest on it, etc. I know it’s fun to get a big honking check once a year, but wouldn’t you rather take home more money in your paycheck every time you get paid? My husband and I have finally gotten ours down to where we get almost nothing back each year, but we’re able to do more (and deal with the increased cost of groceries, etc.) because our paychecks are bigger throughout the year.

I’m supposed to get a PA tax refund. It’s been almost 8 weeks since it was received by the state and the website says it is “being processed.” I sent my fiance’s tax return and a check for the amount he owes the state. They deposited it the same week I mailed it. So, one has to wonder, if they can process a return fast enough to accept a payment, why does it take them so long to process a return where they owe money? This state sucks! I better get my refund this week or I’m going to start calling and harassing them every day.

Since the State of New York is using my tax money to bail themselves out of another one of their brilliant skeems, am I going to receive interest for the delay & usage of my tax return money? Because if it was the other way around we would be paying very heavily.

I filed my PA state taxes with TurboTax on 2/27, was accepted on 2/28 by PA. FINALY says on state refund website, allow 3-4 weeks for refund. Typically other states I’ve filed are 8 days. PA is keeping the money 4 weeks. it’s 3/14,and I still don’t have them. This is week 4!!!

Filed back in the first part of April- still no state return for PA. But, after reading some of the comments ; it seems others have been waiting longer!

I filed my California return back in Feb… it’s now the third of June and have yet to receive my State Tax refund… Funny thing is I used turbo tax, got my federal back fairly quick. But California was never listed in this warning they put out, seems most states are just following suit.

I did my taxes back in Jan. and here it May 18 and I have yet to get my state refund back. I have a question to the people who is reading my comment. If we owed the federal or state wouldn’t we have to pay interest on what we owe after the 15th of April? Just a thought. The government has a way of getting money out of us some way shape or form.

It’s been a few days since I filed and I still haven’t received notification that my SC State is accepted. The Feds approved in just a few hours. What’s wrong SC? Maybe you need to help the unemployment rate and hire some help.
