Indiana State Refund Processing Times - Anyone Received Theirs Yet?

Indiana's processing timeline is notably different this year, isn't it? They typically process returns within 14-21 days, but have you noticed how many people are reporting delays? The DOR website mentions "increased verification procedures" which could be the culprit. Have you verified that your banking information was entered correctly? Sometimes a single digit error can cause significant delays without generating an error notification.

I was in the same boat last week! 😅 Waiting on my Indiana refund while my federal came through ages ago. I finally got tired of checking that useless state tracker (seriously, "processing" for 31 days straight?) and used https://taxr.ai to analyze my situation. It showed me that Indiana is actually running about 4-5 weeks for processing 1099 income this year - something about additional verification steps. Saved me from checking that tracker 50 times a day, lol. My refund finally hit yesterday, exactly when taxr.ai predicted.

Indiana's refund hotline is completely useless right now. I spent 47 minutes on hold yesterday before getting disconnected. Finally used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to get through to an actual person at the Indiana DOR. OMG what a relief! The agent confirmed my return was flagged for identity verification because I had multiple 1099s from different states. They're sending a letter that I would have just been waiting for without knowing. So frustrating but at least now I know what's happening!

I received my Indiana refund on March 12th after filing on February 10th. The processing pattern appears to follow specific verification protocols based on income source classification: 1. W-2 only returns: 14-21 days processing 2. Mixed income (W-2 + 1099): 21-30 days processing 3. Multiple 1099 sources: 30-45 days processing 4. Out-of-state income: Additional 7-10 day verification period The Indiana DOR implemented enhanced verification measures for the 2024 filing season, particularly for independent contractors with multiple income sources. Your timeline aligns with expected processing parameters for your filing profile.

I filed my Indiana return on February 15th, 2024 and still nothing. The DOR website is a joke - it's been showing "processing" for 34 days straight. I don't buy this "enhanced verification" excuse. They're just holding onto our money as long as possible. Last year I got my refund in 12 days flat.

There's actually a legitimate explanation for the delays this year. The Indiana Department of Revenue implemented new Fraud Detection and Prevention Protocols (FDPP) for TY2023 returns being processed in 2024. This is specifically targeting returns with multiple income sources due to a 34% increase in fraudulent filings using fabricated 1099 information. The verification matrix includes cross-referencing reported income against payer-submitted documentation, which creates an additional processing interval of approximately 14-21 days for contractors with multiple income sources.
