Iowa tax refund

I filed on March 3rd. Received federal refund a week later. Iowa refund was just direct deposited this morning.

Curious if anyone has received theirs and how long it took. Filed first week of March electronically and have it set up for direct deposit and a month later nothing yet. Got my Federal in 1 week. Anyone else have any luck with their Iowa refund?
It’s taking longer because of the fraudulent info you put on your return.
 
New year. Filed electronically on 3/7. Deposit for Federal refund happened today. No idea when Iowa (with a huge surplus) will get around to it.

I'm not an expert but I'm just going to make a wild guess that a huge surplus has nothing to do with when you'll get your tax returns. If this was the case, you'd still be waiting for your federal return from around 1970.
 
Refund? Refund? You're talking refund?

I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go.
Big bonus, switched high price healthcare from my work to wife’s work (equates to another increase in my salary), and wife did not have nearly enough taken out; so our check will go in the mail on April 10th and our state check in May.
 
Iowa keeps bragging about sitting on a pile of money. Maybe they fired all the tax dudes except Bob Cratchit, who is working long hours with only a single lump of coal to process all of our returns.

Yeah, that sucks. My wife and I had a similar situation a few years ago when I moved into a higher paying job and our salaries were too far apart. Never going to make that mistake again. (as I frantically find wood to knock on....)

Using TurboTax Deluxe, filed State Feb 4 and the refund was electronically deposited into the bank Mar 7. That was the last Iowa Income Tax return that I'll ever have to file.

Filed during the Super Bowl and received my Iowa refund today. Received my fed refund 3 weeks ago.

Same, second year in a row. Despite increasing withholding this year, we owe in even more to each than a year ago. Already filed new W4s to hopefully get it right moving forward.
