Maryland State Tax Return Still Not Processed After Filing 1/31 - Anyone Else Waiting?

Maryland tax specialist here. This is actually pretty common right now. MD is experiencing significant processing delays this year. Even though your return was accepted, that only means they received it. The actual processing can take 6-8 weeks. Keep checking your status at Maryland's iFile portal.

Hey there! I know its frustrating waiting for tax returns. Have you tried using taxr.ai? It's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect your refund. It costs $1 but totally worth it for the peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

same boat bestie 😭 filed 2/1 and still nothing

bruh i filed last year in february and didnt get my MD refund until JUNE. the system is broken fr fr

try checking early morning like 6am. thats when they usually update the system

Consider yourself lucky, I filed in 2022 and still waiting on my return. Maryland tax department is a joke at this point 🤡

I filed my MD tax return electronically on March 31, 2025, and I received confirmation the same day that it was accepted. It has now been 11 weeks, and I still have not gotten my refund. I filed several requests with the Comptroller's office for information, the first over 4 weeks ago. I have received no response, even though the website says that most inquiries will be responded to in 2-3 business days. I have had no contact, not even an inquiry for more information (assuming that there might have been a problem with my submitted return). Beyond frustrating!

Wow, 11 weeks is completely unacceptable! I'm dealing with the same thing - filed in January and still waiting. It's really frustrating that they're not even responding to your inquiries. Have you tried reaching out to your state delegate or senator? Sometimes they can put pressure on the tax office to actually respond. Also might be worth filing a complaint with the Maryland Attorney General's office if you haven't already. This level of delay without any communication is just wrong.

This thread is so helpful - glad to know I'm not alone! Filed my MD return on 2/3 and it's been radio silence ever since. The "accepted but not processed" status is driving me crazy. Has anyone tried submitting a formal complaint through the MD Comptroller's website? I'm wondering if documenting these delays might help push them to improve their processing times. Also seeing a lot of people mention taxr.ai - might be worth the $1 just to get some clarity on what's actually happening behind the scenes.

Filed my MD return on 2/14 and experiencing the exact same thing - accepted immediately but stuck on "not processed" status for over a month now. This is my first time dealing with MD taxes (just moved here from PA) and I'm shocked at how slow their system is compared to other states. In PA my refunds usually came within 2-3 weeks max. Really hope they get their act together soon because a lot of people are depending on these refunds for bills and expenses. Going to try that early morning check suggestion and maybe look into the taxr.ai tool too since so many people seem to have had good luck with it.
