I see where my federal taxes have been paid, but not my state. Should I be concerned?

Each State is different as to when they issue refunds.  As long as your State return has been accepted, you should receive your refund once the State processes your return.

 

You can check the status of your State refund on their website:

After you have filed your return

  Most refunds from electronically-filed returns are issued 6-8 weeks after you file; paper returns may take longer. It's also important to note:

  • Refunds from amended returns are issued at least 12 weeks from the date you filed the amended return. 
  • If you chose a paper check or debit card refund, remember to allow additional time to receive your refund in the mail. 

  If you've already filed your return, you can't change your refund option this year, but you can always update your choice next time you file.

Check your refund status

 

If you've already filed, check your refund status using our Where's My Refund? tool, which is available 24/7 and provides the same information as our customer service representatives. 

  If you filed electronically and received a confirmation from your tax preparation software, we have received your return.

 

  You can expect your refund to move through our review process within 6-8 weeks from February 7 or the date you filed (whichever is later), if you filed electronically; paper returns take longer. Amended returns take up to 12 weeks to complete the review process.

 

  Status changes are posted nightly. Find out how long you can expect to be in each step of processing in the Refund Processing Timeline on this page. 

 

  If you filed by paper, it may take more time for your refund status to update.

If you are asking whether you should be concerned about whether your state balance due has been paid, then know that as long as you authorized the payment to be made prior to the tax deadline, then it is considered to be paid on time even if the debit has not occurred by the deadline.  

 

For more information, see the following TurboTax help article:

 

When will my tax payment go through?
