I received a 1099-INT form from my state and the IRS for interest on my refund in 2016 but why didn't I receive one for 2017?

They only send -INT forms if the state (or feds) delay your refund over a certain length of time.  Don't recall how long, but something over 2 or 3  months after initially accepting your tax return.  Might not apply in certain situations....but I don't know the details.   In 40 years of filing, I've never received interest for a delayed refund....but all in under  2 months (that I can recall)

IF you get your refund in under a month, then certainly no interest paid..
