      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.

            I filed mine on February 1st and have the confirmation number.

            It is now May 1st and still the site says it does not find my refund submission ????

                          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

                              Filed and accepted 1/31. No updates, nothing. My son filed and was accepted Feb 24th, got his this past Monday. So he didn’t even wait a month. Dont understand how this works.

                                It seems that most people think they update Friday overnight .so you’ll see it when u wake up sat morning. And Wednesday over night for Thursday morning.

                                  Still processing for us too. Accepted Jan 22. So when do we supposedly see updates? Sunday/Monday? Wednesday/Thursday? So confusing, if you ask them, they don’t even know!

                                                  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!

                                                    *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.

                                                      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.

This is so messed up. I really hope you all get an update soon.

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 ….

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.

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 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 ?

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 .

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

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.

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…

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?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          “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.

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.

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.

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 ….

I had to file dual-state and got my NY refund in early Feb. To be honest, I didn’t even notice that I had gotten it until today (it was a tiny refund). NJ is so late, every year.
