CT State Tax Refund Stuck in 'Under Review' Status - Anyone Received Theirs?
Been waiting on my CT state refund for what feels like forever. Status shows Under Review on the website. Filed back in February and still nothing. Starting to worry since I usually get it within a few weeks. Anyone else dealing with this or recently got their deposit?

Tax professional here. CT DRS is experiencing significant delays this year. Under Review typically means they're verifying your information, which can take 8-12 weeks. Make sure all your W2 information matches exactly what your employer reported. If it goes beyond 12 weeks, call their support line at 860-297-5962.

Same situation here! Filed my CT return in early March and it's been stuck on "Under Review" for 6 weeks now. Called the DRS line twice but couldn't get through after waiting over an hour each time. It's so frustrating especially since my federal refund came back in like 10 days. Really hoping it gets resolved soon - bills don't wait for the state to get their act together! 😤
