The agency’s timing guidance
The former tax applied to certain interest and dividends. The agency says not to file a Hall return for periods beginning in 2021 or later.
Use the correct official service
There is no ordinary state individual-income-tax refund schedule for the seasons covered here. A federal refund, a prior-period obligation or a special state payment program is a separate matter.
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.
