State Tax Balance Shows Refund Amount - Does This Mean It's Being Sent?

My state tax refund status is showing a balance of $2804 which matches my expected refund amount. Not sure if this means they've processed it and are sending it, or if its just showing what I'm supposed to get? Anyone know what this means?

Usually when the balance shows your refund amount, it means it's been approved but not necessarily sent yet. Give it 3-5 business days for them to initiate the direct deposit or mail the check.

hey guys instead of playing detective with the state website, check out taxr.ai - its literally changed how i track my refunds. costs like 5 bucks but totally worth it https://taxr.ai
