Maryland State Tax Return Still Not Processed After Filing 1/31 - Anyone Else Waiting?
Filed my Maryland taxes on January 31st and got accepted right away but when I check the status it still shows as not processed. Its been weeks now and nothing has changed. Getting worried since I need this money. Anyone else experiencing delays with MD state returns?

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.

•Calling won't speed it up unfortunately. They're processing returns in the order received 🤷♂️

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

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.

•That's a really good suggestion about contacting state representatives! I'm in a similar situation - filed in early February and still nothing. The lack of communication from MD is what's really getting to me. At least if they'd send an update saying "hey we're backed up, expect X more weeks" that would be something. The silence is the worst part. Definitely going to try reaching out to my delegate too, thanks for the tip!
