I filed my taxes late January and still haven't received my state tax refund. I live in Virginia. Is it normal for it to take this long?

I filed my taxes late January and still haven't received my state tax refund. I live in Virginia. Is it normal for it to take this long?

No, it is not normal for a tax refund to be delayed for four or five months after the tax return was accepted by the state.

Did you e-file your state tax return and was it accepted?  

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section.  In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".  

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

Use this TurboTax website to check the status of an e-filed return and if it was either accepted or rejected - https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the Virginia state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2897231-how-do-i-track-my-virginia-tax-refund

VA is one of the states that was late in conforming 2018 state tax law to the new Federal one, so they did not start processing returns until late in February.
