The agency’s timing guidance

The bank may take seven days to deposit the refund. Respond to an ID Passcode Confirmation letter before the return can finish processing.

Use the correct official service

Open the official state agency page below and follow its refund-status link. Keep the filed state return available for that service. Enter sensitive tax information only on the official agency website.

Keep federal and state processing separate

Your federal and state returns can be accepted and reviewed at different times. An IRS approval does not establish a state payment date. Follow the state tracker and any state notice for the next step.
