Can ny state refund be delayed due to injured spouse tax form? I understand that the federal refund will be delayed but does that incorporate the NYS refund as well?

New York does accept the injured spouse like the IRS (not all states do) and you can expect to have some delay on release of the refund.  If you chose efile, you have processed the fastest way possible.

They will review the information on the return, compare it to Form IT-280 and confirm the debt obligation.  The instructions don't actually say there will be a delay, but due to the extra review time, this seems evident.
