My NC state return is still not refunded; filed in February. The .gov site states 4 more weeks of identity review is needed. Is this normal?

TurboTax gets no information from the IRS or from your state after you file your tax return.  It is not uncommon for the IRS or a state to require more information to verify your identity in order to prevent fraud.   Only the state can tell you how much longer it will be for them to complete the process.  If they ask you for anything make sure you provide it promptly.

Thank you for the response. I do realize that TurboTax cannot provide details on the issue; I was merely curious if this is a standard procedure now for some states. In 30 years of filing, I have never experienced an extended identity verification, so wanted to ask the community if this is some sort of 'new normal'. I will just be patient and wait another 3-4 weeks, as the state refund site indicated.

Again, thank you.
