Per NC,
Due to enhanced identity theft protection measures, some refunds may take longer than normal, which is 8 weeks for electronically filed returns and 12 weeks for paper returns.

You can track your refund on the North Carolina Department of Revenue's Where's My Refund? page.

The average processing time for refunds is 6 weeks from the date they accepted or received the return.

If it has been more than 12 weeks since the NCDOR accepted (received) your return and you still don't have a refund, they ask that you call them toll-free on 1-877-252-3052.
