Kansas State Tax Refund - Direct Deposit Timeline
My kansas state refund was approved last week and still hasnt hit my bank account yet. The where's my refund tool just says approved. Anyone know how long it takes to actually get deposited? Starting to get worried since its been over a week.

KS state refunds typically take 7-10 business days after approval to hit your account. If you filed electronically and chose direct deposit, you should see it by next week. The state processes refunds in batches, so timing can vary.

Same boat here! Filed my KS return 2 weeks ago and got approved last Monday. Still waiting on the deposit though. From what I've seen, Kansas is definitely slower than federal this year. Hopefully we both see our refunds hit soon! 🤞

•Yeah the waiting is brutal! I'm in the same timeline as you - got approved Monday and still nothing. At least we know we're not alone in this. Kansas really needs to step up their refund processing game compared to other states 😅

I'm in a similar situation - got approved 9 days ago and still waiting. Called Kansas DOR yesterday and they said they're experiencing delays due to higher than usual volume this year. The rep told me to expect 10-14 business days from approval date for direct deposit, which is longer than their usual 7-10 day window. Hang in there!

•Thanks for calling and getting actual info from them! That explains a lot - 10-14 business days is way longer than what their website says. Really helpful to know it's a volume issue and not something wrong with our returns specifically.

•16 business days is way too long! Have you tried calling them to see what's going on? That's definitely beyond even the extended timeline that @Nia Harris mentioned. Might be worth checking if there s'an issue with your return.
