The main determinate is what state.  There are over 40 state tax agencies, each doing its own thing.  Some states are fairly quick with refunds, while other states (such as WV, WI, NC, GA, LA, AL, and others) can take a long time processing returns--even several weeks--as they crack down on detecting fraudulent returns.  You may be able to get an idea about how long it takes in your state from the FAQs at your state's tax agency website as I will mention below.

Of course, you need to be sure it was successfully filed.  Here's how:

First, if you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking in your Online account at the Tax Home. 

Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.

The FAQ below tells how to check on a state refund and has a link for your state.

TIP:   While you're at your state's tax website, also look for a statement or FAQ that may say about how long it takes to get a refund in your state and how to long to wait before phoning the state tax agency.  Many states have such information on their websites.

What about Iowa.  It's May 12th and have not seen my refund.

The Iowa DOR website says: 

"The anticipated time frame for refund processing is 30-45 days. ... The majority of refunds are issued before the end of May.  Various things can delay return processing. A few examples are mailing a paper return, not choosing direct deposit, having errors on a return, missing documentation, and returns identified for additional review."

First you need to be sure it was successfully filed.  Here's how:

First, if you efiled, be sure your efiled state return was accepted.  If you used Online TurboTax, you can check by looking in your Online account at the Tax Home.    Does it say "accepted" there?

Or did you choose to file by mail instead?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.  If you chose that method, you have to print, sign, date, and mail it.

I presume you are asking about a state refund, since that is the topic of this thread.

My state of Iowa is not on this list. They have no record of my 2019 tax return.

The list at the start of this thread topic is an old list from 2018.  It's 2 years old and not current.

Did you efile?  First make sure the state return was efiled successfully and accepted.   Did you use Online TurboTax?  If so, log in and at the Tax Home what is shown for the state return status?   Which of these terms--accepted, rejected, printed, started, ready to mail, or what?

Or if you chose to file by printing and mailing, did you actually mail it?  TurboTax does not mail it for you.

Yesterday I easily filed my federal tax return and then tried for three hours to file North Carolina with same message about it being ready to go but only my federal sheets showed on computer. Today I tried several times adding Another State and that did not work either. I followed directions from tax assistant and community but I still can't file state.

Meanwhile when I print out 2019 taxes state is there.

Should I file an extension for North Carolina?

What is Oregon's time frame and do they have a website to track the refund?

Any info helps. Thanks!

There is no information on the Oregon state tax refund website regarding the length of time it takes for the state to process a tax refund.

Go to this website to track your Oregon state tax refund - https://revenueonline.dor.oregon.gov/tap/_/
