Anyone else file before the end of January and still waiting for refund? I am seeing on other blog posts, people who filed in Feb already received. Thanks

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities, There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals. Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.

Accept 1/28 still "processing". Why have people who filed at the end of Feb getting their return before me? I am never using turbotax again.

Same with me. NJ "accepted" my return on Feb 6. Today is April 7 and it's still showing as "Processing".

Finally approved. I checked Sunday and was approved for DD April 10th. If you called and they said everything looks good just hang in their it looks like. For some reason they seem to be extra slow this year.

Did you call them on the phone like other people did? Or you just waited 2.5 months and they finally processed it?

I filed on 2/7. NJ confirmed receipt. I checked the week before last -- received, have not yet begun processing. I checked again this past week -- no record of my filing. And I entered all information correctly. I sent an email to the NJ department that handles income taxes -- canned response that I'll get an answer in 15 days.
