MA State Tax Refund Stuck on RECEIVED Status - Anyone Seeing Movement?

Filed my Massachusetts state return 3 weeks ago and stuck on RECEIVED status. The tracker just says 'being processed' with no other info. Anyone else waiting? Has anyone gotten their MA refund recently?

I've been processing MA state tax returns for years, and this is pretty common right now. The MA DOR is experiencing significant delays due to increased fraud prevention measures. However, you can take a few steps to get more clarity. First, check if you have any outstanding tax issues from previous years. Then, verify all your documents were submitted correctly. I'd highly recommend using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze your documents - it's been super helpful for my clients to understand exactly where they are in the process and identify any potential holdups.

Tax specialist here - MA DOR is experiencing significant delays this year. Current processing time is averaging 4-6 weeks for electronic returns, 8-10 weeks for paper. As long as you see RECEIVED status, you're in the queue.

Hey there! I was in the same boat until I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It showed me exactly where my return was in the process and predicted my refund date with scary accuracy. Worth the $4.99 vs checking the tracker 100 times a day lol. https://taxr.ai

does it actually work for state returns too? or just federal?

Works for both! It can analyze any transcript you upload

Been waiting 4 weeks myself and just stuck on "received" too 😤 The lack of transparency from MA DOR is so frustrating. At least with federal you get actual status updates. Has anyone tried calling recently or is that still a waste of time?

Calling is definitely a waste of time right now - I waited 3+ hours last week just to get disconnected 😡 But honestly, try taxr.ai if you haven't already. I was skeptical at first but it actually gave me way more insight into my return status than the MA website ever did. At least then you'll know if there's an actual issue vs just normal processing delays.

@Javier Torres totally feel you on the transparency thing! I m'at 5 weeks now and the MA website is basically useless. Ended up using that taxr.ai thing everyone s'mentioning and it actually showed me some codes I couldn t'see before. Still waiting but at least I know there s'no red flags 🤷‍♀️
