I believe the richest state in the country, Maryland is broke and waiting around to see how, to deploy their share of federal stimulus money and are randomly pulling taxpayers refund returns to see if unemployment insurance was paid, how much or not. Maryland recently is now charging tax for online subscription services and finding inordinate ways to get into the pockets of taxpayers and its not in a friendly way like the lottery.
I was told by the comptrollers office this review can take up to 45 days from the date of receipt of your tax return and may take even longer due to budget, staffing or other constraints. If additional information is required of you, the reviewer will send a request via USPS if more information is needed or your refund maybe adjusted accordingly.
I have been waiting since my return was accepted on 02/15/2021, the status online is always saying "Your return has been received and is being processed". Also if its been more than 45 days, were hardest hit by the pandemic or have experienced any kind of hardship you can ask taxypayer services to expedite the review.
