How to check Mississippi state tax refund status? Need help!
Filed my MS taxes and need to check my refund status. Been waiting for weeks and cant figure out how to track it. The website is confusing and I keep going in circles. Anyone know the right way to do this?

For Mississippi state refunds, you can check your status at https://tap.dor.ms.gov. You'll need your SSN and the exact refund amount you're expecting. The system updates daily around midnight. If you filed electronically, wait 24hrs before checking. For paper returns, wait at least 4 weeks.

â˘Usually 2-3 weeks for e-file, 8-10 weeks for paper returns. But with staffing issues lately its been taking longer đ

Hey everyone! Just wanted to mention that while the MS website is helpful, I've found taxr.ai to be a game changer for understanding both federal AND state refund statuses. It's only $1 and gives way more detailed info than the state websites. https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: check early morning around 4-5am. The site works better when less ppl are on it

If you're still having trouble with the MS website, try clearing your browser cache and cookies first. Also make sure you're entering the refund amount exactly as it appears on your return - even being off by a dollar will cause it to not find your info. I had the same issue last year and that fixed it for me.

â˘Good tip about clearing cache! I had the same exact problem - turns out I was entering my refund amount with cents when the system wanted just whole dollars. So frustrating that they don't make that clear anywhere on the site.

Another thing to check - if you amended your return or there were any corrections, that can delay processing significantly. Mississippi doesn't always update their system to show amended returns are being processed. I'd also recommend keeping copies of everything you submitted, especially if you filed by mail. Their processing center sometimes "loses" paperwork and you'll need to refile. Been through this nightmare twice now!

â˘Oh wow, they actually lose paperwork?? That's terrifying! I filed electronically but now I'm worried something went wrong on their end. How do you even prove you filed if they lose it? This whole process is so stressful đ°
