NY State Tax Refund Delay 2024: $3,809 IT-201 Refund Stuck in Processing with No Timeline

Filed my taxes a few weeks ago and got my federal refund pretty quick, but still nothing from NY state. I'm checking the NY State Tax Department refund status website daily, and it's driving me nuts. I filed Form IT-201 for tax year 2024 and my requested refund amount is $3,909.00, but the tracker just says: "We have received your return and it is being processed. No further information is available at this time. See Understanding your refund status on our website." That's it! No timeline, no explanation, nothing! I've signed up for those email alerts they offer where they're supposed to notify you as soon as your refund is approved with the amount and when to expect it, but I haven't received anything. Anyone else waiting on NY state refund? I filed weeks ago and my federal came through without issues. Getting really worried since I need this money for some urgent bills. The website doesn't even give an estimated timeframe - just "it is being processed." How long did other NY filers have to wait this year?

TurboTax Return with Child Tax Credit Stuck in IRS Processing - Filed 4 Days Ago, No Advanced Payments Received, Still Showing "Return Received" Status

Filed through TurboTax and claimed Child Tax Credit even though I never got advance payments. My return was accepted 4 days after filing but when I check WMR it just shows processing. I'm getting concerned because I was expecting a quick refund. When I logged into the IRS "Get Refund Status" tool today, all I see is: Return Received Refund Approved [not checked] Refund Sent [not checked] The status says "We have received your tax return and it is being processed." It also mentions "If you filed a complete and accurate tax return, your refund should be issued within 21 days of the received date. However, processing may take longer under certain circumstances." There's also a note about Tax Topic 152, Refund Information. I know many people with Child Tax Credit are getting their refunds quickly this year, so I'm confused why mine is stuck in processing. Is this because I claimed the Child Tax Credit but didn't receive any advance payments last year? I thought I did everything correctly in TurboTax. Is anyone else dealing with this situation? Do I just need to be patient, or should I be concerned that something is wrong with my return? The IRS website doesn't give any explanation for the delay, and my session keeps timing out while I wait for updates.
