On checking in with Oregon about where my refund is, I am under manual review as well, but haven't received any correspondence to indicate the state might need more information from me. I'm a single parent claiming my children each year as head of household, my last several years worth of returns have been the same. A little bit of digging reports that a lot of Oregon residents with refunds due to them are under the same nondescript "Manual Review". I found one report that blamed automated tax filing fraud as a potential cause to the delay, but it's unconfirmed whether that's the case or not. I filed my taxes on 1/27/16 and was notified 48 hours later that Oregon had accepted my return. I'm furious, but there is nothing to do but wait I suppose.
