PA State Tax Refund Timeline 2025 - When did you receive yours?
Looking to get an idea of PA state refund timelines for 2025. Can anyone share when they filed and how long it took to get their refund? Trying to figure out if im behind schedule or if everything is moving normal.

Tax advisor here from PA. Current processing time for PA state refunds is averaging 3-4 weeks for e-filed returns with direct deposit. Paper returns are taking 6-8 weeks. If you've waited longer, check your status on PA Department of Revenue website or call their helpline.

ā¢100% legit! Used it last week and it told me exactly why my refund was delayed (missing w2) and what to do about it. Better than waiting on hold with IRS for hours

Filed my PA return on 2/3 via e-file with direct deposit and got my refund on 2/26 - so right at that 3-week mark Andre mentioned. The PA Department of Revenue website actually has a pretty good "Where's My Refund" tool that updates regularly if you want to check your status without calling.

ā¢That's really helpful info about the PA website tool! I've been checking the IRS site but didn't realize PA had their own tracker. Just looked it up and it's way more user-friendly than I expected. Thanks for the tip!

Filed my PA state return on 2/12 electronically and just got my refund yesterday (3/10), so about 4 weeks total. It was definitely on the longer side of what Andre mentioned but still within the normal range. For anyone still waiting, I found that the PA Department of Revenue's "Where's My Refund" tool was more accurate than calling - it updated me when my return moved to "approved" status about a week before the money actually hit my account.

ā¢Good to know the PA tracker is reliable! I filed 2/18 and have been checking obsessively lol. Mine just moved to "approved" status yesterday so sounds like I should see the money hit my account within the next week based on your timeline. Thanks for sharing the detailed breakdown!
