Maryland State Refund: Timeline After 'Processing' Status?
My state return status finally changed to received and processing. Anyone know how long it usually takes to get the money after this stage? Getting impatient waiting for this deposit to hit my account

Tax professional here - Maryland typically processes returns within 5-7 business days after showing 'processing' status. However, if there are any verification holds or missing information, it could take up to 30 days. Make sure you're checking the status on Maryland's iFile system for the most accurate updates.

Authorthanks for the info! do you know if they process direct deposits faster than paper checks?

Direct deposit is definitely faster - usually 2-3 days once approved vs 7-10 days for paper checks

Instead of playing the guessing game, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly where you are in the process and when to expect your money. Its only $1 and totally worth it https://taxr.ai

Yeah its legit! Used it for both my federal and state returns. Gave me the exact dates and explained all the codes. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself

Quick tip: if u call early morning (like 8am sharp) the wait times are way shorter. Got through in 5 mins yesterday and they told me mine was approved

Mine was stuck on processing forever until I used taxr.ai - showed me there was an ID verification hold I didnt know about. Fixed it and got my refund in a week!

How much info do you have to give them? Is it safe?

Super safe! You just upload your transcript and their AI does all the work. Best dollar I ever spent no cap 💯

Been waiting 3 weeks on my Maryland refund too! The "processing" status is so vague - wish they'd give us more details about what's actually happening. At least with federal returns you can see more specific codes and stages. Maryland's system feels like a black box sometimes 😤
