Question

Refund

My completed return shows I owe the state $704. Instead, I received a refund of $6976. What gives?

    You received a refund when you owed money. If it went into your bank account either:

    • the bank deposited someone else's money into your account
    • the state department made a mistake

    You need to contact the Department of Revenue and let them know what happened. Be prepared for the money to vanish from your account. The bank may reverse it.

     

    If you received a check, there was an error in processing your return. Again, contact the state department.

    A nearly $7000 state refund is unusually high, so you may have been the victim of a scam.
