Mine were accepted January 28th. Still validating. Call to MODOR received answer they are WAY behind from shutdown and also a new system. They were expecting to push a bunch of older refunds out in the next week. They said may still be another couple of weeks though because of the sheer volume.

Mine was accepted jan 28 & still says validating.  So annoying!!! Three months is a long time, regardless.  Interest accrues after 90 days, right?

That’s what I understand from everything I’ve been reading, I’m actually on the phone with them now trying to see what’s going on

I was just told due to the major system update it’s 10-12 weeks now and 1.7% interest after 45 days! But they had no answer to when it will be paid

Mine was accepted on 1/31/19, and STILL waiting as of 5/1/19!

Contact your state Representative and Senator, and ask them to find out what is going on.  That's what we elect them for.

We're in the same situation. Ours was accepted February 12th but still waiting. The last status was "Validating Return" and it's been that same status now for months. Missouri should do better than this on returning taxpayer's refund money!

I thought it was just me. Sent March 11 and still "validating." I have a big refund coming this year due to too much withholding. Ugh. No sign of it yet (but I do like the interest idea!).

My MO was submitted 2/27 and accepted. Has been in validating mode ever since.... Received my Federal quickly, but nothing yet from the state. Glad to know that someone got through calling and it is a system issue and they're just behind processing.

An article in The Kansas City Star (3/14/2019) cited changes to the MO tax code causing a reduction or elimination in refunds for 1000's of Missouri residents and the resignation of Missouri Dept. of Revenue Director resignation Joel Walters.  Could be indicative of more than just 'delays in processing due to system issue'

Accepted  3/13 and still validating on 5/10.  I called and they said expect 10-12 weeks.  My mom had a very small refund and received hers within a week.

Seems like it's affecting the returns that are more than a small refund. Seems like they're completing those manually.

So after doing some digging.. this has been a issue for the past couple years! If your effected this year it's because they left you alone the previous years preying on other Missourians (rotating us out). They have been dishing out the same excuse saying 8-12 weeks this year claiming new computer system. Previous years it was to cut down on fraud. Every year it's a new excuse but same result. Missouri has even asked the government for an extension so they did not get hit with penalties and have to pay interest rates. It's been 14 weeks for me. they are withholding people's money for a reason nd my personal opinion.. It's not due to a new system or the planned government shutdown. Start pressing for the real reason. We pay on time but get robbed when it's time for them to pay.

Who can we complain to ? Maybe a tax advocate?

This is ridiculous!! I’m on week 15!! When we owe them, they take it immediately by any means necessary. When they owe us they can do whatever they want and hold onto our money. I’ve never waited over 2 weeks before. They told me it’s because of their new system, but this has gotten out of hand now. I want my money!!

Mine was accepted on 2/10 and still is validating. I have emailed and called and get the same BS response. This is ridiculous.
