State Tax Refund?..............

Are You Still Waiting For a Tax Refund?

I had a CPA firm prepare and e-file my state taxes before the April 18 deadline this year and still have not received my Missouri state tax refund!

I wish I could have filed earlier, but we did not get some of my investment information and forms until the middle of March. Even so, as of today, no state refund! I remember the good old days when I was able to get a refund by early March.

There was a news blurb from a local TV station stating that this was the case, but they were supposed to have it to tax payers no later than June 6!

I think they have 90 days, but I am getting frustrated!

My federal tax refund came back within two or three weeks!

I always get my Federal refund 10 days after I file but I don't get my State refund until mid May. Which is how it was this year.

@jpie have you checked the Missouri state refund web site yet to check on the status?

Same problem with my daughter, she just mentioned it the other day. Got her federal but no state refund yet. She lives in MA. It's not a huge amount, but she is frustrated too.

Hi! I did go to a website that had a scroll down menu by states and clicked on Missouri. But when it asked for the last 4 # of your SS, I decided I didn't want to enter this information just yet. I will give it one, maybe two weeks before I do this.

Thank you for the link, I may need it in a couple of weeks!

Depends on the state, method of filing....blah blah. I live in Ohio, filed my own taxes electroncallly with HR block software. I had medical expenses but no major investments. 2 weeks direct deposit refund. Sometimes states randomly pull returns to look at. Just to say they are doing theiir job with the watchdogs. Sad thing is.some states are "broke"...*wink wink* and a MAJOR refund may kill them....lol! Good luck!

We don't have state income tax.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought, "Gee, some other state is really slow, too." Then I saw 'Missouri'. I, too, live in Missouri and am right there with you!!! Fingers crossed the check is 'in the mail'!! (Or electronically in cyberspace!)

That sounds excessive. You would think the bulk of the returns are done by now. I filed electronically in February and received both refunds in a week. I wasn't expecting it that quick.

@jpie

Since my state started charging State Income Tax, I have never received a refund. I have paid more every single year. So no, I am not waiting for a refund.

I had to pay the Feds a small fortune ... but a small amount due back from NY State. I had it direct-deposited into my checking account. It showed up on my statement the month following electronic filing.

Don't be afraid to put your social sec # on the state site, it is secure. I live in OR and this year my refund also was very late...I entered the Where is my refund? Site almost every day...always said In Process, that they were maually reviewing my form (not auditing me) and that I had to wait 12 WEEKS before calling their 800 # ! After I called, my refund posted to my checking account in 4 business days! I had to enter my s/s #, $ amt of refund and that I filed as Single. It was the way to ID me, not a problem.

This better not happen next year!

I"ll give them one more week and then start investigating!

I filed mine in March and I'm still waiting for my $50 in Georgia. This is the first year they owe me. They cashed my check in about 3 weeks the past decade. Now my turn and I'm still hand out after 3 months.

Nope, I (almost) NEVER get a refund - I always plan to owe less than $1,000 (federal) and $500 (state) so I don't get hit with an underpayment penalty. It's essentially an interest-free loan, so why let the gov't get their money before they have to?

The one time I got a refund from MD, it came within 10 days!

I know the IRS was delaying refunds for ppl who filed for the EITC. There are some states (e.g., UT) that hold on to refunds until they match up documents first. These are intended to deter fraud.

Tax returns can also be garnished in certain circumstances (e.g., student loan default).

IIRC, IL delayed refunds greater than a certain amount due to their budget impasse?

If you filed around April 18, it doesn't surprise me that there is a delay. A large number of people wait until the last minute.
