The NJ Income Tax Refund Status site states:
“We will issue 2017 Income Tax refunds on or after March 1, 2018.”
I think it said the same thing last year. But it’s already 2/20 and the site still says it has nothing on file for me.
I dug back into my bank statements and I was issued my refund on 3/7/17 last year. So I’m not that worried – I filed roughly the same date/time last year. But I’m just curious if anyone has checked the NJ site and if they have anything yet even if it’s just acknowledging that they have the information.
I was accepted a month ago.

Im praying for an update tonight ….so if they supposedly update on Thursday. Does that mean tonight overnight technically making it Thursday ? OR tomorrow night over night technically making it Friday ???

What the hell I hope we get an update tonight… I doubt it. But geez it’s been almost 8 weeks like when ??? . They supposedly do updates on Thursday and Saturday but I haven’t seen anyone get an update last Saturday… It seems like it’s only been on Thursday nights. I hope I get mine asap. This is really annoying

-
March 25, 2018 at 11:27 pm #4242343Diane

-
March 21, 2018 at 10:37 am #4241396asia
The site format looks to have changed, yet no one has changed the fact that I have been PROCESSING since the beginning of time. I filed on January 29th for crying out loud!

March 21, 2018 at 4:07 am #4241341Common sense
*when you do something, that’s when they’ll do THEIR job. Until then, stop complaining, it’s a waste of energy on your part* i accidentally put “your” in my previous comment below, obviously its not your job, it’s theirs.
-
March 21, 2018 at 3:05 am #4241339Common sense
Lets be real here guys, New Jersey doesn’t have to use the snow as an excuse for why they haven’t updated yet. It’s because(and this goes for federal and state)goverments of today have realized people have become so complacent and comfortable that they most likely won’t do anything to disrupt or threaten that comfort. Too busy watching stupid shows, on smartphones, twerking, other miscellaneous bs. If people starting having their attorneys send letters to the Treasury of NJ (Department of Taxation), calling their phones non stop, emailing the people in charge of this so there’s a record of their negligence, contacting local representatives, etc. But most people won’t because they assume the next person will. So no, this isnt an Accident, NJ does this because as of yet, over the years, there hasn’t been any consequences, they believe no one can punish the government, so why not? And unfortunately, without consequences, most people won’t abstain from certain actions. Which is why laws are set in place so that if YOU dont PAY THEM taxes on a regular basis, you can be fined and jailed. However, if they dont return your money to you in a timely fashion, well, whatcha gonna do? I say, this upcoming year change your tax status so that way you get the money youre giving them as an interest free loan in your checks and less of a refund. Sure, smaller refund but its a big FU to the Treasury of Nj cause i guarantee you, if enough ppl did this, you’d see them switch up their behavior real quick as they wonder why they’re losing more and more money from the budget. Thats what I’m going to do, this is the last year they get my money to just “hold” and give back to me when they feel like it. They’re lucky we live in a society of law and order, ill tell you that much because this is blatant abuse of power. So you guys can stop thinking this is some sort of accident or fluke on their part, they know exactly what they’re doing and they know(unfortunately) you wont do sh*t about it. When you do something, thats when theyll do your job. Until then, stop complaining, its a waste of energy on your part.

I hope they don’t use the snow as an excuse NOT TO UPDATE!!!! Computers work when it’s snowing !!!!!

March 17, 2018 at 12:25 pm #4240552
I’m trying not to post here anymore because mine came through and I don’t want to add insult to injury for you all, but I cannot fathom why NJ is still taking this long for all of you. This is so messed up. I really hope you all get an update soon.
-
March 17, 2018 at 4:13 am #4240454Jackie
Still nothing for me. ImMost likely getting a letter. Anyhow. I just heard that someone called and was told it would be at least 4 weeks from the 1 St cuz they didn’t even start looking at returns until then …then about 15 min ago someone who filed Feb 2 got a DDD for 3/22 … It updated about 20 min ago for them . Mine is still processing so I guess im beat ….

-
March 13, 2018 at 11:02 am #4239292Jackie
Maybe when we wake up Thursday we will have an update ? ???? Cuz so far the only updates I’ve heard of was on March 1st when mine and lots of others went to processing message…(2nd bar) and that was a Thursday . And then last Thursday the 8th when some people woke up to DIrect Deposit Dates for Tuesday. The 13th ….. I thought they say they update 2xs a week well this year it sure as shit don’t seem like it.
-
March 13, 2018 at 7:44 am #4239207Jackie

RHelg80***
I wish you a great year. Spend your money as foolishly as you want.. All year we have to be responsible with your money so your due… Thanks for the insight about how the bars work.. I don’t remember them last year. Hopefully we will get our update tonight n if not going for Thursday updates. Anyhow thank you for starting this discussion. It’s been nice talking to you. Too next year 😉 -
March 12, 2018 at 11:33 am #4238845
Sorry I haven’t been back for a few days. Just to address the question about stages: Mine initially started at stage 2 (Processing) and then skipped stage 3 and went streihht to stage 4.
I double checked this morning and my DDD is still tomorrow.
I wish you all a lot of luck. Unbelievable how slow this is this year.
-
March 12, 2018 at 11:24 am #4238843Thecatsdidit

-
March 12, 2018 at 8:46 am #4238775asia

-
March 10, 2018 at 9:04 pm #4238550Jackie1 hi
I wonder if it goes to reach bar. Like mine went straight to processing I never seen the first bar highlighted green the one that says data entered or so.ething like that. Then there’s processing the one that mines been on then checking for accuracy then refund approved …. Did you guys have yours go through each stage on the site ?
-
March 10, 2018 at 9:00 pm #4238546Jackie1 hi

-
March 10, 2018 at 9:13 am #4238435Thecatsdidit
No update for me . Accepted on 2/13.. this is the longest I have ever waited . This year I filed about 2 weeks later than normal; I guess this is why it’s taking longer .
-

Shit that really shitty . They get worse and worse every year it’s a longer and longer wait. . They’re a bunch of suckbags . Sorry just pissed ….I hope my hunch is right and we get an update tonight ..oh shit we might not anyhow cuz of the storm so they probably won’t have noone working to update the site ..we better have an update by Saturday morning with ddd’s for next week …. I wish I could give them a taste of their own medicine. Well in their case bullshit….
-
March 7, 2018 at 11:08 am #4236815
I was accepted on 1/24. Six weeks ago. This is crazy.
-
March 7, 2018 at 11:01 am #4236812Jackie1
Still stick on processing since the 1st of March. Filed 5th of Feb. I think we may get an update tonight guys and hopefully a DDD for maybe the 13th .or next week … But I have a funny feeling well see an update tonight. Hopefully though at least no later than Friday / Saturday…. Jersey is on some dumb shit!!
-
March 7, 2018 at 9:38 am #4236748
Still nothing.
Last year I got my refund on 3/7.
I just tried calling their non-automated customer service center and all I get is a recorded message saying “sorry but due to inclement weather conditions we are unable to take your call at this time” and then it hangs up.
New Jersey is unreal.
-
March 7, 2018 at 6:07 am #4236611LF
Just letting you all know I didn’t receive any letters yet but when I called them they said I had a letter coming. So I don’t think anyone has received letters yet. But they also told me if you had the eitc credit the chances of them requesting more information is higher this year then ever. I would call If you get no updates soon just in case there is a letter going our you can get a head start sending in your documents since I don’t think once person physically received a letter yet. I sent all my info in a week and a half ago and still no letter yet “/ filed 1/29
-
March 6, 2018 at 11:57 pm #4236583Bre
I have netspend too. I don’t understand whats taking so long ? I have gotten no letters or anything for more information. I received my fed a while ago now. I know so many people whos stuck on processing too. Whats going on
-
March 6, 2018 at 11:22 pm #4236573rob
I have netspend and usually i get my deposit before the website updates so if that happens this year ill let u guys know…waiting sucks.
-
March 6, 2018 at 5:26 pm #4236478
@rob Not sure but I created this thread on a Tuesday (Feb 20) which is when mine switched from “your information can’t be found” to “Processing.”
-
March 6, 2018 at 4:31 pm #4236446rob
Anyone know what nights nj website updates?
-
March 6, 2018 at 12:51 pm #4236324
New Jersey just gets worse and worse every year.
-
March 6, 2018 at 12:10 pm #4236299Wheresmymoney
Never have i ever had to wait this long to get my refund back in anyother state. This is so CRAZY. I really am starting to get pissed.
-
March 6, 2018 at 11:28 am #4236271Rob

March 6, 2018 at 10:50 am #4236227

-
March 6, 2018 at 12:37 am #4235972Jackie1
LF – sorry u gotta send in info. That’s all a bunch of bullshit anyhow. ..it shouldn’t take them a month just to friggin let u know u need to prove who the hell you are ….. ridiculous…bet they dont give a shit who you are when your paying your taxes….. On EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER BOUGHT IN YOUR DAMN LIFE
-
March 6, 2018 at 12:34 am #4235968Jackie1
Hoping we get updates tonight ….
-
March 5, 2018 at 1:36 pm #4235642LF
Someone had a ddd for 3/8***
-
March 5, 2018 at 1:26 pm #4235629LF
I got no updates but I saw on another thread someone for a few for 3/8. I had to send in more information to them so I won’t be seeing mine until probably may or June . If anyone ever had to send in more info to them ever how long did it take for you to get your money? Funny bc everything they asked for they should have already (ss cards for me and my son, birth certificates, and 1099s) . Been filing the same crap for years now nothing has changed.
-
March 5, 2018 at 11:08 am #4235503Wheresmymoney
This is crazy i could really use MY money. Whats the hold up. Why is it taking so long. Sot my fed almost 3 wks ago.
-
March 5, 2018 at 8:14 am #4235389
I have mine set to deposit directly to my checking account.
-
March 5, 2018 at 8:11 am #4235381Jackie1
Is anyone having their Jersey refund direct deposited onto a prepaid card? Mine suppose to go in my NetSpend. Just wondering if anyone else is. Or has anyone had theirs already deposited in a card? First time I’m doing it like this so I’m an wondering if it will come up to 2 days faster like they advertise…
-
March 5, 2018 at 8:05 am #4235377Jackie1
Filed Feb 5 finally showed processing on March 1st 2018 but nothing since .. I thought once it went to processing it would only be a day or two before I got a direct deposit date…guessing that’s out ! It really doesn’t need to take this long everything is done computer automated…… Jersey does this shit every year
Well at least the last two or three years .. but as soon as ANYONE gets a DDD please post here. Thanks and good luck -
March 5, 2018 at 7:43 am #4235367
I haven’t found any evidence of anyone anywhere getting any update from NJ past “Processing.”
I mean, I haven’t found a lot of people posting anywhere (including here) about their NJ tax refunds but even so…
-
March 5, 2018 at 7:36 am #4235361Jackie
Still processing! Hoping for an update soon! BROKE!
-
March 5, 2018 at 7:33 am #4235359
Anyone get an update yet? This is very frustrating.
-
March 4, 2018 at 5:35 pm #4235242Rob
same
-
March 3, 2018 at 10:54 am #4234948PhickDiva
No update. I’ve been processing since the 1st.
-
March 3, 2018 at 7:56 am #4234870Njfiler
Did anyone update today at all? Or is everyone still processing
-
March 3, 2018 at 6:43 am #4234847
@LF
Nope, never had to send in more info.
Did the website update for you with anything? I’m assuming not.
-
March 3, 2018 at 6:37 am #4234841LF
Well I called in and I’m one of the unlucky 5% that is going to be sent out a letter for more information. The rep yesterday gave me all the codes I needed so I could just upload all my stuff already to be one of the first ones. So I did that last night. Now I have to wait 90 freaking days for them to review it. Crazy considering I’ve been filing the same return for about 5 years now.
Taking a long shot here but has anyone ever had to send them more info? And if you did how long did it take for your return yo get to you?
Really sucks bc I’m having a baby soon and really could have used the $ :(
-
March 2, 2018 at 6:01 pm #4234648
Well, I guess I was wrong. No update. Unbelievable.
I found my post from last year. My post was on 3/1/17, a Wednesday:
“We approved your refund in the amount of $X to be deposited into your bank account on 03/07/17. It can take up to five days to show in your bank account. If your refund doesn’t show in your bank account after 5 days, check the bank routing and account number reported on the bottom of your New Jersey state tax return.”
So they are tracking later/higher delay this year since pretty much everything was the same with my tax situation last year except I had to file multi-state this year. I could believe they might need some extra time to research the credit I am claiming against the taxes I paid to NYC, but even so, it doesn’t seem like anyone else got an update, so I am going to assume that they are just slower this year than last year.
-
March 2, 2018 at 7:23 am #4234154Rob
Nothing online yet for me either fucking nj
-
March 1, 2018 at 3:32 pm #4233969LF
So I called back just bc the first lady wasn’t giving me clear information. The 2nd person I spoke to was very nice. I asked her if I have a letter pending to be sent out like the last person told me and she told me there is noithing pending at all to be sent out to me and everything looks fine. WHAT THE HELL NEW JERSEY.
-
March 1, 2018 at 2:22 pm #4233927LF
Well I just called and talked to someone. The lady told me a letter will be sent out to me requesting more information. Funny bc I’ve had the same job and same dependents for about 5 years now. So I guess I’m screwed for a while. Good luck guys
-
March 1, 2018 at 12:15 pm #4233826LF
@RHelg80.
Yeah even the phone line that is supposed to give updates has no record on my boyfriend or my tax return. But the website does. So I hope your right -
March 1, 2018 at 11:28 am #4233806
@LF
No, I just think they suck at updating, frankly.
Based on what I remember of past years, I believe many of us will see movement on the site tomorrow and will get DDDs of next Thursday-ish.
That may be a little too optimistic, but I think NJ’s primary issue is poor communication.

Do you think it’s going to take 4 weeks from the time we first got the processing message?! I been trying to call them all morning and the automated message keeps say that the volume of calls they are getting is too much for them to handle and then it hangs up

I still have no update beyond processing.
To say I am frustrated is an understatement.

I filed Feb 5 was accepted by n.j on the 7th and it’s still saying they have no information on my refund… It’s taking sooooo long !!! Nj sux . If fed filing opens at the end of Jan then they know that’s when people start filing their taxes so why can’t they just get on board and start when fed starts so people get their money back together since they file it together. I mean come on it goes the same way every single year ….

Nj online tracker says they didn’t even begin processing my refund yet.
NJ always sends them out around mid-march or so.

I feel like NJ is one of the last states to start issuing refunds. Every year I see post about other states getting refunds in Jan. And feb. And we have to wait till march to get an update.
