Filed state taxes on 1/28 - how long until refund check arrives?

I filed my state taxes on January 28th and got accepted same day. Its been a minute and still no check. Anyone know how long these usually take? Getting kinda worried since I could really use the money rn.

State refund processing times vary by state. Generally, it takes 2-3 weeks for e-filed returns and 6-8 weeks for paper returns. You can check your state's department of revenue website for their specific processing times and refund status tracker.

Pro tip: Always choose direct deposit instead of paper check. Way faster turnaround time.
