Alaska doesn't have a state income tax, so if you live—and earned income—in Alaska, there's no Alaska refund to track.
If you'd like to track your federal (IRS) refund, go here.
Note: Though Alaska doesn’t require a state tax return, you might still have to provide your Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (also called Alaska PFD), which goes in the 1099-MISC section of TurboTax. For more details on how to include that info, go here.
If you live in Alaska and earned income in another state, there's more to know
Even though Alaska doesn't have a state income tax (so there's no state return to file), if you earned income in other states they may require you to file a return.
If you've already filed your return in one of those states, go to the state list to find that state's refund tracker.
If you haven't filed a return in the other states, here's what you need to be aware of:
- If you're a wage earner, you’ll have to file a nonresident return for the state you work in. Since you're likely paying withholding to the state you work in, filing a return means you may get a refund (although you might owe money)
- If you're receiving 1099-MISCs, you pay taxes to the state where your home office is located. Depending on a variety of factors, including whether you paid estimated taxes, you might get a refund or you might owe money
- If you have rental or investment property in another state, you may need to pay taxes to the state where the rental is located. Check with the Department of Revenue in that state to be certain you’re in compliance
