Kentucky State Tax Refund Website: When do they actually update the Where's My Refund tool?

I filed my Kentucky state taxes last week and I keep checking the website but nothing changes. Does anyone know what time of day they update the Where's My Refund tool? I've been checking like every hour and its driving me crazy.

Kentucky Department of Revenue updates their Where's My Refund tool once per day, usually overnight between 2-4am EST. Checking multiple times during the day won't show new info. Processing typically takes 10-14 business days for e-filed returns if there are no issues.

10-14 days? I'm on day 21 and still nothing 😤

If you're past 14 business days, might be worth giving them a call. Could be a verification hold.

Hey guys! I actually found this really helpful tool called taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on with your refund and when to expect it. Only costs $1 and saved me hours of stress. https://taxr.ai
