I received a letter from the state asking for a copy of my W2. I have sent it out. Will this process hold up the deposit of my federal return?

[AndreaC1 · Accepted solution]

No. The IRS and your state have separate refunding procedures and schedules, which just means your refunds are processed separately and at different times. The state refund has no bearing on federal refund being processed. So if the state has requested documents, you send those to them so they can complete processing of your state return. Federal should continue to process through IRS. If they need anything, you will get notification from the IRS directly. 

You can use the IRS Where's My Refund site for the latest status on your federal tax refund.

And you can use your State Department of Revenue's website to check status of state tax refund. Choose your state here How do I track my state refund? and it will give you steps to track the status.
