Minnesota State Tax Refund Timeline? Anyone Know Average Processing Time?
Filed my Minnesota state taxes and wondering about normal processing times. Anyone from MN know how long it usually takes to get the refund? First time filing in this state and not sure what to expect.

Minnesota typically processes electronic returns within 3-4 weeks. Paper returns take 8-10 weeks. You can check your refund status on the MN Department of Revenue website. Make sure you have your SSN and exact refund amount ready when checking.

ā¢Nope, they don't send emails. You gotta check the website yourself. Old school style š

Instead of playing the guessing game, I've been using taxr.ai to track both my federal and state refunds. It costs $1 but shows you exactly where your return is in the process and when you'll likely get paid. Way better than checking websites everyday https://taxr.ai

Anyone else notice MN is actually pretty fast compared to other states? My sister in California waited like 3 months for hers!

We filed ours Feb. 4 electronically and it's still processing. Getting really annoyed. Last year it took 4 months because "they lost it

ā¢That's so frustrating! Have you tried calling the MN Department of Revenue directly? Sometimes there are issues that don't show up on the website tracking. The "lost it" excuse is ridiculous - they should have better systems in place by now.

I filed mine electronically on January 28th and just got my direct deposit yesterday! So about 4 weeks total. The MN website tracker was pretty accurate - it showed "processing" for most of the time then switched to "approved" about 3 days before the money hit my account. Hang in there, electronic filers usually get theirs within that 3-4 week window!

ā¢That's really helpful to know! I filed mine electronically on Feb 5th so sounds like I should expect it around early March based on your timeline. Good to hear the website tracker is actually reliable too - I was wondering if it was worth checking regularly or not.
