My Ohio tax return was accepted immediately and now says posted but under manual review. What does this mean

It means a DOT (dept of taxation) employee is looking it over. Something on your return caught the attention of the DOT computer.

It may be nothing more than it's so early that things aren't running smoothly yet

Does it typically take the full 60 days to resolve?

No, but it depends on timing and the details

You can only wait until DOT sends your refund or contacts you.  You can try calling DOT, but don't expect more than "it's under review".  1-800-282-1784

My state was accepted and the next day under manual review for 150 days….  That seems excessive…?  I file the same every year , only difference is my new job taxes a ton more and my state refund was quit higher then normal.   My question is does it normally take 150 days ?

Is your state Ohio, as in the question above?

 

This is an Ohio State issue.  It appears to have been implemented by the state due to high volumes of fraud.  

 

Per the Ohio Department of Taxation:

 

With income tax fraud and identity theft on the rise, the Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) is committed to safeguarding taxpayer dollars by increasing security measures. The identity verification letter is just one of the tools ODT is using to prevent fraudsters from receiving a refund as a result of identity theft.

Might want to check within 48 hrs after submission and after you get the email that your account has full access.

I filed on the 20. The return was accepted today but says under manual review. Has anyone had this issue was there any additional information needed? Also I see some are updated next day, did anyone have that happen for the 23 tax year?

I did nothing.  It updated on its own, and the new update is it was just deposited into my bank account today 😊.  Just keep checking on the Ohio site

I just received the same message when checking Ohio's website, that my return is under review. I filed on the 19th and it was accepted today. I've never had this happen before, but feel better seeing that others are in the same boat. Hopefully it'll change soon.

I think mine was actually filed on the 19th not the 20th seems odd we are all in the same boat but glad I’m not the only one.
