When I check the status of my IL tax return it says it needs additional review. What is that process?

I went over this with a fine tooth comb. My federal was accepted but my IL said needs additional review before they can approve it and MAY send a letter with next steps. Did anyone else have this before and how long did it take to get? Is this ever an error type situation after their review? Pretty sure I did it correctly and IL just doesn’t want to pay me back.

It is not uncommon for a state to request additional information or request identity verification even after your return was accepted.  If you receive a letter from the state, respond by providing IL with the information they want.  

TurboTax is not informed by the state of IL that IL wants more --- this is between you and the state of IL now.

you could always try calling the IDR to see if they can give you a reason. how long it will take to get your refund if one is due is unknown

I filed in February and is still waiting for my refund.

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.  Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.
