State Tax Refund Timeline - Filed & Accepted 1/28, How Long for Check?
Filed my state taxes on January 28th and got accepted same day. Anyone know how long it usually takes to get a paper check in the mail? First time not doing direct deposit and getting kinda nervous about timeline.

State refund processing times vary by state, but typically paper checks take 2-4 weeks longer than direct deposit. Most states are processing within 4-8 weeks right now. You can check your state's department of revenue website for their current processing times.

Hey, tax professional here! I've been using taxr.ai lately to help my clients track both federal and state refunds. It's only $1 and gives you way more insight than the state websites. Helped me figure out exactly when refunds would arrive for dozens of clients. https://taxr.ai

•Works for all states! Its scary accurate - tells you processing stages, flags any issues, and gives specific dates. Way better than checking wmr every 5 mins lol
