Maryland State Tax Refund: Timeline After 'Processing' Status?
My state refund has been showing 'received and processing' for a while now. Anyone from Maryland know how long it typically takes to get the money once you hit this status? Starting to get worried since its been weeks.

Tax professional here from Maryland - typically it takes 7-10 business days after hitting the processing status. However, if there are any verification holds or identity checks, it could take up to 30 days. Have you checked if there are any notices or letters from the comptroller's office?

•If you're past the 10 day mark, might be worth giving them a call. The MD tax office is actually pretty good about answering phones.

Hey everyone, I've been seeing a lot of confusion about refund timelines. I started using taxr.ai to track my refunds and it's been a game changer. For $1 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your money. https://taxr.ai

•Does it work for state returns too or just federal?

•Works for both! It even caught a hold on my MD return that I wouldn't have known about otherwise.

Pro tip: check your transcript status early morning. MD usually updates between 3-5am. Also make sure you dont have any old state debt, that can hold things up.

Maryland typically processes refunds within 30 days of receiving your return, but the "processing" status can vary. If you filed electronically and there are no issues, you should see movement soon. However, if they need to verify any information or if you claimed certain credits, it could take longer. You can call the MD Comptroller's office at 1-800-MD-TAXES to check on specific delays. Don't panic yet - 15 days is still within normal range, especially during busy season!
