Anyone else still waiting on State of Iowa Tax refunds? I filed on April 14th or 15th with the direct deposit option and not sign of money yet?

It's always convenient how much longer it takes to pay out vs cash the checks in anything like this.
My check was dated 3-4 and deposited 3-14.

I filed on April 7th and got my refund 2 weeks ago.

This is a joke regarding the IRS and not the State Dept. of Revenue, but it always makes me laugh:



To the OP, I haven't filed yet, but I know of people who filed around April 15 who haven't gotten their refund yet from State DOR.

We had to pay; they received my check on April 29th and still haven't cashed it. I'm just waiting for something in the mail that says I didn't send it on time. Fortunately, I added tracking the the envelope, so I have proof of them receiving it.

I didn't pay close attention, but I filed at the end of March (about 2 weeks before you) and it was 3-4 weeks before I saw the direct deposit come through.

I guess I'm not surprised that wait times closer to the deadline would take a little longer to process.

The 'where's my refund' link already posted is helpful to let you know that at least they are working on it, LOL.

I filed about 6 weeks ago....haven't received my $16 yet. My guess is the amount of interest they are earning on the back of my money is holding them back from sending it out sooner.

haven't got the fed back yet to cover the check to pay the state.
What this thread has showed, there is on consistency in when the returns are sent from either fed or state.

But make damn sure you send yours on time or you will be sorry, and if you have to pay an adjustment, you have 2 weeks or else.

Just another horribly managed Government process/program.
