Individual Income Tax Refund

Use the refund status tool to get the most up-to-date information. The refund status graphic tracks a return’s progress through four stages.

You must file a return within three years of its original due date (often April 15), or any refund you’re owed for that return will expire. You should still file your tax return if it’s past the three-year limit, but we won’t be able to issue any refund.

Respond rapidly for faster refund

All income tax returns go through fraud detection reviews and accuracy checks before we issue any refunds. We might send you letters asking for more information.

Please respond quickly so we can review your information and get your refund to you as soon as possible.

• Fraud Detection: The Tax Commission uses a variety of methods to validate your identity and tax return to detect and combat tax identity theft. To help protect taxpayer information and keep taxpayer dollars from going to criminals, we might send you:

An Identity Verification letter that asks you to take a short online quiz, provide copies of documents to verify your identity, or state that you didn’t file a return.

A Request for Information letter that asks for missing or extra information to support data reported on the tax return.
