I can say with certainty that federal tax refunds are NOT AFFECTED by the fact you are in New York state. The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in the normal time frame: less than 21 days. However, it’s possible that some tax returns may require further review and could take longer.
One of the biggest delays are caused if you claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit. If you included these on your return, the IRS expects the earliest refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards by March 1 if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return. However, some taxpayers may see their refunds a few days earlier. Check Where's My Refund? for their personalized refund date.
