Arkansas State Tax Refund Delayed - Approved 2/3 But No Payment Yet

Filed my AR state taxes and got approved on Feb 3rd but still haven't received my refund. The status just says approved but no deposit date. Anyone else from Arkansas experiencing this? Starting to get worried since its been weeks now.

AR tax specialist here - this is actually pretty normal for Arkansas this year. They're taking about 3-4 weeks after approval to issue refunds due to enhanced fraud prevention measures. As long as your status shows approved, you should see the deposit by early March.

Works for both! It can analyze state transcripts too. Literally saved me hours of stress
