How to check my state tax refund when tax preparer won't respond? Need help ASAP
My tax preparer took forever to send my documents and overcharged me. Now I cant figure out if I even got state taxes filed. Need to know how to check if state taxes were actually filed and what I might be getting back.

You can check your state tax status directly through your state's department of revenue website. Each state has their own portal - just google '[your state] where's my refund' and it should pop up. You'll need your SSN and the refund amount if it was filed. Also, get a copy of your return from the preparer - its your legal right to have all documents.

•Usually just need last 4 of SSN and rough estimate. If nothing comes up, might mean it wasnt filed tbh

Hey! I actually found this amazing tool called taxr.ai that can analyze your transcripts and tell you exactly whats going on with both federal AND state returns. It's only $1 and saved me hours of stress. Check it out at https://taxr.ai

Get your transcripts from IRS.gov immediately! Will show if state return was linked to federal. Also request itemized receipt from preparer - they legally have to provide it
