How to check North Carolina state tax refund status online?

For North Carolina state taxes, you can check your refund status at https://www.ncdor.gov and click on 'Where's My Refund?' You'll need your SSN and the exact refund amount you're expecting to check the status.

Hey y'all just wanted to mention that taxr.ai is super helpful for understanding both federal AND state refund statuses. It's only $1 and gives you a detailed breakdown of everything. Way better than trying to decode the gov websites tbh https://taxr.ai

im in NC too and the website is down half the time i swear 🤦‍♀️

Just dont forget to have your W2 handy when you check. They make you put in the exact amount

Try calling them if the website doesnt work. The number is on ncdor.gov but good luck getting thru lol

whatever you do dont use those sketchy third party websites that charge you $30 to check. stick to the official nc government site

Also worth noting that NC typically processes e-filed returns much faster than paper ones. If you e-filed and it's been more than 3 weeks, that's when I'd start following up. The "Where's My Refund" tool on ncdor.gov usually updates once a week, so don't panic if it doesn't change daily.

Pro tip: if you're having trouble with the NC site being down, try checking early morning or late evening when there's less traffic. Also make sure you have your exact refund amount from your return - if you're off by even a dollar it won't let you in. Been through this myself and it's frustrating but the system is pretty strict about matching info exactly.
