NY State Tax Refund Delay 2024: $3,809 IT-201 Refund Stuck in Processing with No Timeline
Filed my taxes a few weeks ago and got my federal refund pretty quick, but still nothing from NY state. I'm checking the NY State Tax Department refund status website daily, and it's driving me nuts. I filed Form IT-201 for tax year 2024 and my requested refund amount is $3,909.00, but the tracker just says: "We have received your return and it is being processed. No further information is available at this time. See Understanding your refund status on our website." That's it! No timeline, no explanation, nothing! I've signed up for those email alerts they offer where they're supposed to notify you as soon as your refund is approved with the amount and when to expect it, but I haven't received anything. Anyone else waiting on NY state refund? I filed weeks ago and my federal came through without issues. Getting really worried since I need this money for some urgent bills. The website doesn't even give an estimated timeframe - just "it is being processed." How long did other NY filers have to wait this year?

NY state refunds typically take 2-3 weeks if you e-filed, up to 6 weeks for paper returns. If you claimed certain credits like EITC it could take longer. Have you checked the NY state refund status website?

Give it another week. NY is usually pretty reliable with their timeframes

Hey there! I was in the same boat last week. I started using taxr.ai to track both my federal and state refunds - it's been super helpful understanding exactly what's going on with both returns. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it for the peace of mind. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Yes! It analyzes both federal and state transcripts. Shows you exactly where your return is in the process
