The usual timeframe is about 48 hours, but it varies by state. See below for information on tracking your state refund.

Even if you filed your federal and state returns at the same time, your state may not start processing it at the same time as the IRS.   It's not unusual for state returns to remain in pending status several days after a federal return has been accepted. This is especially common when e-filing first opens in early February.

 

To track the status of your state return, please refer to your state's Department of Revenue website:  How do I track my state refund?
