Mississippi State Tax Refund Delays 2025 - Anyone Received Theirs Yet?

MS tax specialist here. There's currently a significant backlog in Mississippi state refunds. The state department of revenue is experiencing processing delays due to new fraud prevention measures. Average wait time is now 10-12 weeks, sometimes longer for returns that need additional review.

Hey guys, I know its frustrating but I found this tool called taxr.ai that really helped me understand my refund situation. It costs like a buck but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on. Way better than playing detective with the where's my refund tool https://taxr.ai

Filed in January, got mine last week. Took about 11 weeks total.

nope still waiting. filed march 1st and its crickets over here 🦗

Anyone else notice the MS DOR website is always down when you try to check status? Like clockwork I swear 🙄

Hattiesburg here. Got mine after 13 weeks of waiting. No explanation for the delay just showed up in my account one day

Filed on February 1. Received our federal refund on the 8th of February. Still waiting on our state refund.

Same situation here - filed MS state on Feb 12th and still waiting. Called the DOR twice and got different answers each time. First rep said 8-10 weeks, second one said could be up to 16 weeks due to "enhanced verification procedures." Really wish they'd be more transparent about what's actually causing these delays instead of giving us the runaround.

I'm in the same boat - filed my MS state return on Feb 20th and still waiting. It's really frustrating how inconsistent the information is. The "where's my refund" tool has been stuck on "processing" for months now. I've been tempted to call but sounds like even the reps don't have clear answers. Really hope they get this sorted out soon because people are depending on these refunds for important expenses.

Filed my MS state return on February 15th and still waiting too. What's really frustrating is how the timeline keeps changing - first they said 4-6 weeks, then 8-10, now I'm hearing 12+ weeks. I understand they're implementing fraud prevention measures, but the lack of clear communication is making this so much worse. At least give us realistic timeframes from the start instead of constantly moving the goalposts. Really hoping we all get some movement soon! 🤞

Filed my MS state return on February 10th and still waiting here too! It's really reassuring to see I'm not alone in this mess. The inconsistent information from the DOR is driving me crazy - every time I call I get a different timeline. What's really frustrating is that my federal refund came through in less than 3 weeks but the state is taking forever. I've been checking that useless "where's my refund" tool daily and it's been stuck on "processing" for over 10 weeks now. At this point I'm just crossing my fingers it shows up before the holidays! Hang in there everyone, hopefully we'll all get some good news soon 🙏

Filed my MS state return on February 22nd and I'm in the same waiting game as everyone else here! It's honestly comforting to know I'm not the only one dealing with this frustration. The lack of clear communication from Mississippi DOR is really the worst part - I've called three times and gotten three different timelines ranging from 6 weeks to 16 weeks. My federal refund arrived in 18 days but here we are months later still waiting on state. I've been religiously checking that "where's my refund" tool and it's been stuck on "processing" since March. At this point I'm just hoping it arrives before I need to start thinking about next year's taxes! Stay strong everyone - hopefully Mississippi gets their processing issues sorted out soon 🤞

Filed my MS state return on February 14th and yep, still waiting like everyone else here! 😫 It's wild how consistent this problem is - seems like anyone who filed in February is in the same boat. What really gets me is how my federal refund showed up in 16 days but Mississippi is going on 12+ weeks now. I've called the DOR twice and got completely different timelines both times (first said 8 weeks, second said "could be up to 20 weeks" 🤯). That "where's my refund" tool is basically a joke at this point - mine's been stuck on "processing" since early March. Really hoping they figure out whatever backend issues they're having because this is getting absolutely ridiculous!

Filed my MS state return on February 5th and still waiting too! 😤 This thread is both reassuring and infuriating - at least I know I'm not alone but wow, Mississippi really dropped the ball this year. My federal refund hit my account in 12 days but here we are going on 14+ weeks for state. I've called the DOR four times and gotten four different answers ranging from "any day now" to "up to 24 weeks" (yes, 24 weeks!). That "where's my refund" tool is completely useless - been stuck on "processing" since February and never changes. What's really frustrating is other states seem to handle fraud prevention without these massive delays. Mississippi needs to seriously overhaul their system because this is unacceptable! Hang in there everyone 🙏

Filed my MS state return on February 12th and I'm right there with everyone else - still waiting! 😩 It's actually somewhat comforting to see this thread because I was starting to think there was something wrong with my specific return. Federal came through in 2 weeks but Mississippi has been radio silence for over 11 weeks now. Called twice and got told "6-8 weeks" the first time, then "10-16 weeks" the second time. That "where's my refund" tool might as well just say "good luck" at this point because it's been stuck on processing forever. What really bothers me is how unprepared they seem to be - like they knew they were implementing new fraud measures but didn't plan for the processing delays? Anyway, solidarity to everyone waiting - hopefully we'll all see some movement soon! 🤞

New member here but unfortunately not new to this waiting game! Filed my MS state return on February 17th and still nothing - going on 12+ weeks now. Reading through everyone's experiences is both validating and infuriating. My federal refund arrived in 15 days but Mississippi seems to be operating in a different dimension of time. Called the DOR last week and was told "8-12 weeks" but seeing people mention up to 24 weeks has me really worried. That "where's my refund" tool is basically a cruel joke at this point - been stuck on "processing" since early March. What's really frustrating is the complete lack of transparency about what's actually causing these delays beyond the vague "fraud prevention measures" excuse. Other states implement security without grinding to a halt like this. Anyway, glad I found this community - at least we can commiserate together while we wait for Mississippi to get their act together! 😤

Just joined this community after stumbling across this thread and WOW, I had no idea this was such a widespread issue! Filed my MS state return on February 20th and I'm going on 12 weeks of waiting too. My federal refund came through in 19 days but Mississippi seems to be stuck in molasses. Called the DOR twice - first rep said 6-8 weeks, second one said "could be 14+ weeks due to system upgrades." That "where's my refund" tool has been my daily dose of disappointment, stuck on "processing" since March. It's honestly relieving to know I'm not alone in this but also concerning that SO many people are dealing with the same thing. Seems like Mississippi really wasn't prepared for whatever changes they implemented. Crossing my fingers we all get some good news soon! 🤞
