How long does it take for States to accept efile returns?

It varies. When did you file? Which State do you live in?

The State Refund process varies. State returns are usually accepted within a few days of filing. However, it is anticipated that income tax refunds from Kentucky State filed in the Federal/State electronic filing program will be processed and issued in two to three weeks.
