Alabama is asking taxpayers to fill out questionnaires meant to help verify their identities, before tax refunds are paid out. The state is also asking employers to send W2 forms earlier, by the end of January, so that it can have the data available to help verify tax returns as they come in, said Julie Magee, commissioner of revenue for Alabama. All suspicious returns, such as those with employment information that doesn’t match their records, will be held until they can confirm a person’s identity.

I have not recieved mine yet, the status says it was approved on the 23 of Feb but no deposit date.
The comp trollers office said they have gotten up to February 22 approval date as of today
I was accepted o Feb 4th, and I haven't heard anything. Has anyone else gotten theirs?
My Alabama Taxes said my refund was sent on 3/11/16, please allow 5 days. I still haven't gotten mine. I am assuming it will hit my bank Friday. I don't know. Anyone else have any news?
I would call them, mine was issued on the 9th, I waited a few days and still wasn't in the bank. they told me they opted to mail it instead of direct deposit something bout security but I have already recieved my paper check
What # did you call? So you were supposed to have yours direct deposited also? And they mailed it instead? How long did it take to get it?
334-353-0602. yes it was supposed to be direct deposited on the 8th and they a mailed check.I got the check about the 14th or 15th
addison8991, what date were you accepted? Mine was on 1/26 no letter
Filled mid-Feb. It was accepted and I filled something out that stated we filed, confirming some information. Still no refund sent as of yet?
I called during my 17th week and they said since it has taken so long they turned it over to my local taxpayer services in Jefferson County. Meanwhile I had not received a letter or anything so I have no idea as to what this may mean.
I filed beginning of February and they just told me after the 10th call that they will be reassigning my returns to my county local office further review. I should expect a letter in another 4 to 5 weeks on top of the 6 months I've been waiting.
I had got the same response on one of my calls but never heard anything from an agent. I think it’s a call center and they are informed to tell everyone that to keep you waiting patiently.
My last call was to my local office Alabama Revenue office: btw my message online:
Your return has been received and it is being processed. The processing time varies for each return.
You should receive your refund 8 to 12 weeks from today provided you do not owe any taxes for prior years or other state agencies.
The wait is ridiculous!
It hasn’t been stopped for review! Mine is still pending from end of March and seems thousands are having this same issue with Alabama Revenue. Mine has been 19+ weeks and I have called three times over those weeks and last call was to my local Revenue office here in Huntsville Agent showed my file had not been flagged! I was not missing any correspondence from them. I was not needing to send in anything additional in fact said shows my case had not even been touched!! She said they were only on end of February cases knowing mine was received in March.... Then I made comment “so you are just behind” she responded yes!! Alabama should at least be honest and have a schedule they are going by. I realized she lied to me as well about other cases. I had coworkers who filed in March and expected a smaller refund and had already received theirs. How much longer do we have to wait? It’s almost a new season again! Posted 8-1-2019
Hi I’m still 18 weeks out and my Alabama return still showing being processed. Anyone having similar issues?
