Update: 3/12 (today) green bar- refund approved and will be sent to bank on file 3/13/25.

Mine says your return has been reviewed. It will be approved within 10 business days. I filed 2/21. I got that message with blue bars on Thursday. 3/6 on the Colorado WMR.
-
@ajeansres: Does your state revenue now have a missing state return? This is odd, overnight I updated on Colorado revenue to a message saying I need to file my 2024 return and where my return was there to view/amend it is no longer there. My return has just vanished. But when I check the tracker, it still says is received and being processed.
-
Anyone here from Colorado have any news on State refunds? I don’t think they opened until Friday night, but wondering if anyone is moving yet.
-
Why oh why, does Colorado ask you for DD information and then mail you a check?
-
Black_Byrd (not logged in at work)
Has anyone gotten their COLORADO refund yet? I dont know the process but after almost 5.5 weeks I can finally see my return with a credit balance. Whats next?
-
Filed and accepted on 1/25/22, checked this morning and said “Refund Reviewed” so now it’s a waiting game for them to approve and send
-
Been stuck on the second bar for almost two weeks, I’m getting frustrated
I’ve been stuck for 4 weeks now. I’m with you in the frustration.

Filed and accepted on 2/13/21. Still on received and processing on state (2 bars). Received federal 2/23. Patiently waiting.
-
I filed 2/12 accepted 2/13. Just received update on state refund this morning that my refubd is approved as of 3/9 and will be sent within 3 days. My federal refund is “still processing “. I expect a DD update next week though. Never received state first but this has been a crazy year
-
accepted 2/12 and sitting on the second bar
anyone got any updated past the 2nd bar?
i got my federal deposited yesterday, hoping for this to be soon
-
JB
I was able to see the mail be delivered today there is was, finally my state tax refund, thanks for the fast and easy direct deposit.. oh well better late than never which seems to be the case with the feds
-
JB
We have mail box theives in this small town, i probably wont even get the check, some junkie will probably get to my mail box before me… bullsh!t im sick of Colorados crap
-
GoFigure
@JB
Yep, they say they mailed mine in 3/5. Nothing in mail today. So aggravating. Hope I update in WMR on Saturday morning. They were waiting to match my w2 up with employer info. IRS said yesterday my return is processed and reflects the w2 but i have a letter coming. She said to disregard it if/when I get refund. -
JB
I checked usps informed delivery, no check today, man colorado dept of retards is the slowest bunch of feet draggers
-
foxtrot
I’m getting a check too
-
JB

-

@JB
How long does it take for a check to come? -
JB
Finally 4 bars but the idiots are sending a check again
…… DOR. Dept of retards… -

@JB & All
Finally progressed to the 4th bar with a message stating, “Your refund was issued on 3/5/2020 to the bank account on file. Your refund should be deposited within 3 business days.”
My return was accepted on 01/27/20, so hopefully, you should be seeing progress soon!
-
JB
@JB mine still at 3rd bar, so i guess im calling them today , they are slackers apparently. I used to live up that way in firestone

@JB
Hi! I’m in Timnath/Windsor
My state return was approved last night and says check will be mailed 3/5…it’s a small amount but every little bit helps. Still waiting on Federal. I filed both 1/28. -
JB
@GoFigure i filed both on 2/4 same thing feds said same matching on wages on 2 employers im hoping the same fed im on a bs 45 day hold obe rep told me it starts on 3/9 i called to get an advocate they said i cannot get an advocate b/c it should fix it self by 3/9 and if i dont get my $ by 3/9 to call back so i hope thats light a the end of the tunnel. im not sure what city you are in but down here in walsenburg its rough right now i really need both returns to make ends meet
-
Gofigure
@JB
I’m waiting on that 4th bar…Sure seems like forever! My federal return is hemmed up too. Filed both 1/28. Federal has been waiting on matching if my w2. Maybe it’s all worked out since state return is moving along. -
McQ
@JB
Hopefully! I am thinking it should update to the 4th bar by at least the end of the week, but we will see! I will keep you posted lol.
-
JB
@McQ maybe it will update tonight?
-
McQ
No movement from the 3rd bar this AM. Hoping it won’t take 10 business days to send the $$ lol but won’t hold my breath. I’ve talked to several friends who got their CO refunds weeks ago! Not sure why mine always takes forever.
-
JB
@Pinkpather, yes colorados process is weird but at least i finally got some movement
-
PinkPather
says return status received on the account login portion, but I have $0.00 as amount. the other day it was saying file return….which I filed and they received 1/28
-
PinkPather
@JB
I would assume after reviewing it and it updating to that on website, it should mean we should see full bars sometime this coming week. Their process is strange and does not make sense to me. -
JB
same here mine finally updated to Your refund for filing period 12/31/2019 has been reviewed. It should be approved within the next 10 business days.
so ill see a ddd monday or so? -
Gofigure
Finally updated to return reviewed, third bar. Filed on 1/28. Regular account section still says tax return not filed. I’ll keep you updated
-
Winter
Still freaking waiting. Filed on 2/7. 2nd bar, but account info when I log in says no return filed which last year meant they were working on it, but no such luck this year. Colorado has got to be one of the worst states for processing taxes!!
-
McQ
UPDATE: Finally progressed to the 3rd bar, “refund reviewed” with a notice saying, “Your refund for filing period 12/31/2019 has been reviewed. It should be approved within the next 10 business days.”
Still not sure if getting DD or Check but at least some progress! :)
-
Gofigure
Still processing since 1/28
-
McQ
Still stuck on 2nd bar as well! -_-
-
JB
Still in 2nd bar since 2/4 this is a crock of crap Colorado DOR put down the bong and process our returns…
-
I checked today and my state has been approved and sent. It says my refund was sent on 2/26 to the bank account on file. This is the fastest I have ever received it. I’m getting both federal and state on the same date
-
Cannacasey
@pinkpanther
I did turbo tax and when I would go to the depth of revenue account I had I would get the same it wasn’t filed. That was up to last Thursday right before my future 2/22/2020 check mailed confirmation. Informed delivery has one item without a pic today but I think it’s prob a magazine. So still waiting on my check. -
PinkPather
@jb
Mine says received
But account says file return with a triangle symbol 🤷 -
@JB I think if you spoke to someone they are just reading a script can you access your info at all on the site? Mine didn’t pull up for days but I had the wrong refund amount entered. TurboTax shows the net amount of the refund which was after my donation to domestic violence prevention. I had to look at my actual return and LO and behold it was higher than what I see on the TurboTax dashboard. I thought something was wrong until I figured that out
-
Sk
Paper check, no direct deposit,
Deposits of these checks since drawn on wells Fargo are being
Held for 7 days by other banks before Being relesed. Wtf.
Colorado go to any place else but your bank to cash unless you can wait the seven days. Wells Fargo was hit Friday with a 13 billion Dollar fine by the justice department other banks are making us waite . Wth. -
JB
@mimi how can i file the 4th and get no movement but you file the 7th and get a ddd, the dor lied to me on the phone then. I will be calling them back monday.
-
I think for the last two years my refunds were mailed. Don’t know why but it happens.
I filed 2/7 and was at one bar until yesterday I moved to refund has been reviewed and to expect refund in 10 business days
-
NB2020
@cannacasey… they could have mailed it or will mail it on the 21st… last year mine was mailed.. this year DD..
-
NB2020
I got my taxes this am…
@cannacasey you’ll probably probably get yours the 22nd. Mine said for like a week that mine was sent out on the 19th and it wasn’t even close to that date. This am i woke up with it so… *shrug* it’s coming I’m sure… -
McQ
Hilarious! I suspect that will be mine too although I can’t seem to get past the 2nd bar. -_- Colorado has got worse and worse with taxes over the years SMH.
-
Cannacasey
I got a “was” mailed 2/21/2020
I had given direct deposit info so that was ignored. Grrr
Also how does one use this future mailbox? Asking for a friend. 😂😂 -
JB
@winter so you are in the same sitiuation?
-
Winter
Job that means they are working on it. You should update to 3rd bar soon. I know it is weird. Freaked me out too!
-
McQ
@NB2020
Nice! Sounds like it will be DD then. If I remember last year when I checked online, it said it would be mailed.
-
NB2020
@McQ
I kept trying to figure out if it’s being mailed or deposited also… previous years it was mailed but I couldnt find an actual answer on if they’re mailing them this year or not. ColoRev says it’ll be sent for direct deposit on the 19th and will be in my account 3 days later. So I’m assuming it’s being deposited… :/
-
McQ
Return was filed and accepted on 01/27/20. So far stuck on bar #2, “Return Received & Being Processed.” I got my federal refund via DD on 02/05/20, even with a missing W2 (was only like $100). So hoping will get getting state refund soon! Has been a paper check the last couple years even though I selected DD.
-
JB
Today i logged in to revenue onlline and it says File a return WTF!?!?!?! I filed on 2/4 guess im calling denver today
-
NB2020
FIled and accepted the 29th for federal and the 30th for state.. I’m a Pather though.. and I think colorado holds until around the 15th like federal does
-
JB
@nb2020 what day did you file?
-
NB2020
@JB.. mine updated on Saturday.. I’ve noticed it’s been updating when my federal has movement..
My bar is full and has been since Saturday and has a date of the 19th to be deposited. But I know a friend already received hers.
-
JB
does anyone know if colorado updates the wmr every night? or what nights the do update?
-
PinkPather
@JB
I have been waiting since accepted on 1/28
says processing. Took awhile for it even to have one bar/arrow
My online account with Dept of Rev says file return, like I never filed one though. Probably have a letter sitting in my mailbox that I never use because I usually just use a PO Box. I lost key to my subdivision kiosk, getting it re-keyed Wednesday and I will see if they sent letter I suppose. Waiting -
JB
Filed and accepted 2/4 im wondering how much longer i have to wait this year.
-
Krystyn
Woke up to approved this morning and should be in my bank next week!!
-
Ms T
That makes sense Nouvo, thanks
-
Krystyn
I updated to third bar sometime yesterday says your return has been reviewed and should be approved in the next 10 business days
-
Nouvy
Ms T… you probably got resequenced by the irs for federal so it pushed your state back by a week..
As soon as my federal moved, my state moved…
-
Ms T
Anyone know how long the usual wait is after it get the one bar of received & processing? It says it was received 01/28, but it didn’t show anything/no movement at all until today 02/07
-
Ms T
01/28 Filed
01/28 Received….Kept saying nothing at all until today
02/07 says received & processing
-
Nouvy
Mine updated overnight to processing finally… my Federal transcripts also became available!!
-
Melissa
Updated today to second bar. Return received and being processed. Filed and accepted 1/28
-
Krystyn
Mine updated to recieved and being processed somete overnight
-
Krystyn
Still no update for me today and I think I got a DD last year but I had to ID verify last year too so I’m not sure if they are doing checks or not
-
Nouvy
Filed and accepted 1/29 and still no movement…
Are they sending paper checks again this year? Or can I expect it to be DD?
-
Melissa
Mine also says the same. I checked it yesterday and said return not received or filed but when I logged in just now it finally said in progress but no change in bars. So it did something over night lol
-
Krystyn
Mine is still the same it says that they haven’t received it yet but both my federal and state were accepted on 1/27 so I don’t know what they are doing this year.
-
Alison
Filed 1/19, accepted 1/27 on both state and federal, received federal refund. Colorado still saying not been received. Anyone else?
-
Krystyn
I filed 1/25 accepted 1/27 but on the Colorado revenue website it still says that it has not been received. Does anyone know why or have this issue?
-
Britany
Hey guys!
i’m having the same issue as everyone else! I filed a direct deposit on purpose because my lease was up and I knew i’d be moving. They decided to send me a paper check instead and mailed it out on 3/8…it’s 3/21. Has anyone else had their’s mailed out on March 8th and still not received it? I called the Revenue office AND the post office that delivers to my address and no one know’s anything.
I’m SO frustrated, My friend still lives at my old address so I’ve been annoying her daily asking if it’s there. I don’t get how you can file a DD and they just decide if you get that or not, seems less secure to me ugh.
-
Karan
My colorado state tax was issued but they sent through paper check to my rented home address.As i was a exchange student I had to leave the country, I havent gotten back those taxes from 2017. Is there any way I can get it back?? Tried to email them but no response.
-
Aileen
Status says paper check issued 3/8/19 (even though I requested DD) to mailing address on file expect in 5-7 business days. It’s been 5 business days, hopefully it comes today but unlikely…
-
Lynette
I received my check in the mail today.
-
I received my refund this morning via DD
-
Lynette
I updated yesterday 2/22/19 to refund approved and sent. Refund issued 2/26/19 by paper check to the address on file should receive in 5-7 business days.
-
I have a pending deposit dated for the 25th. My DDD on WMR is for today 02/22, I bank with ENT
-
Nicole
So I updated 2/21 with a DD for 2/22 nothing at all yet, how long did it take you all to get yours? I need to pay my internet bill today lol
-
Lynette
@Kim Congratulations! I did not update today, but I’m sure it’s coming soon.
-
@Lynette Mine just updated this morning. I’m hoping that you get an update today too. Some years its DD and some years it’s been paper check. I never know til I get it. My friend filed and was accepted on 1/30, and she is still at the second bar. This is the first time I’ve actually paid attention to the process.
-
It says my refund was approved and will be sent to my account! Now to wait and see if it’s going to be DD or a paper check. But at least I know it’s coming
-
Kay
Im supposed to be getting mine via direct deposit today but nothing yet. Last year i got a check. How long does it usually take?
-
@Kim I filed 1/30 accepted 1/31. My status changed on the wmr tool Friday 2/15 to refund approved. This is the first year that I have received direct deposit. The previous years were all via check
-
Lynette
@Kim has wmr updated for you with a ddd?
I wonder how long it will take for me to be approved and get a ddd and if I’ll get dd or check? I’ve been in Colorado for 5 years and all of my refunds have been by check, not direct deposit as requested. -
Jonnie
My refund is showing a DD date of 2/20 but I still haven’t received. This is also the first year I’m receiving a DD instead of a paper check, every year before they’ve converted mine for “fraud prevention”. Anybody receive their DD today?
-
@Lynette Mine changed to “Approved in 10 days” on Friday. Hopefully it’s dd into my account but either way I’ll be happy if I receive it soon.
-
Lynette
My id verification information was received on Friday the same day I emailed it to them. Today I received an email (letter on its way), I passed the verification and should receive my refund in 4 weeks. My return is now showing on line again. I checked wmr it now say it has been reviewed and will be approved in 10 days.
Now just waiting for my federal ddd hopefully this week.
-
My state deposit just hit my account. I have a Netspend card so I always get my deposits early. This should hold me over until the federal hits
-
Kay
Mine was approved and says sent to bank 2/20 so i hope i get it tomorrow.
-
My refund was approved 2/15 and has a date of 2/20. Anxiously awaiting my deposit. This will be the first year I get my state before federal
-
Tina
Colorado refund approved and sent as of yesterday but no pending deposit for my emerald card.
-
This morning I updated to “refund reviewed”
“Your refund for filing period 12/31/2018 has been reviewed. It should be approved within the next 10 business days.”
Not sure if it’s going to be a paper check or DD.
-
Lynette
I just received a letter to verify my identity. The letter said to send a copy of my Id and a copy of a letter with my name and address on it. I emailed the info
smh Colorado -
I checked today and now it’s showing a balance but it also says that I need to file my return, so I’m guessing they are working on it. Yesterday i could see my return when I go into my account and now it’s gone. I guess I’ll see what it looks like later tonight or tomorrow
-
i received another bar on the revenue online tool. Now I’m at Refund reviewed status amd have message that my refund is being reviewed and will be issued in 10 days. For the last 2 years my refund has been converted to a papee check so I anticipate another this year
-
Winter Sullivan
Mine was approved and converted to paper check. Boo! But at least it’s done. I filed 1/24, accepted 1/24.
-
Kim
@Sara Thanks for the information regarding seeing your tax return on the site. I think the paper check thing is stupid too. If I used the same bank account for the last 10 years, how are you preventing fraud?? Sometimes they send me a paper check and sometimes they send it DD, smh.
You are right about them knowing everything. I made that mistake one year and didn’t file the paperwork from withdrawing from my 401k. Two years later they caught it, added penalties,late fees and interest!! So that $300 I wouldv’e owed turned into about $800. My good fried prepares taxes and she said that when you say “The IRS”, put it together (THEIRS) and they will get their money some way and some how.
-
Sara
@Sara to the other Sara, there is zero chance they won’t notice you didn’t file the 8962. I technically didn’t have marketplace at all and I didn’t file and didn’t get my refund for many months last year. CO knows everything. You should have figured that out when they told you they’re directly linked to any money you receive. It’s slightly creepy. But it’s the IRS you should fear because CO won’t process your return until it clears IRS. And yes, my refund was higher last year because of that 8962. It doesn’t matter. A missing form is a missing form, but if you owe them more, they will process at lightning speed.
-
Sara
If you can see your return on their website, they will issue your refund within 48 hours. It will show not received until then. Unfortunately, 90% of the time they issue a paper check “for security reasons”. I almost wish someone would steal every single paper check to prove how stupid that is. And its issued thru Wells Fargo, also my bank, and they put a 1 day hold on it because they couldn’t verify it. Their own check. A few years ago, it took me 3 months to get a $35 refund from them. I paid in over $800 and they considered that measley $35 “earned income credit”. Meanwhile, my childless co-workers got back hundreds and had their money in less than a week.
-
I FILED AND WAS ACCEPTED ON THE 01 FEB 2019
IT SAYS Return Received & Being Processed
I DO SEE MY FILED TAX RETURN IS IN THE SYSTEM.
-
Lynette
JBrooka thanks for the info.
I’m still waiting to be approved.
-
JBrooka
I filed on the 22nd but wasn’t submitted until the 28th
-
Lynette
Jbrooka congrats! When did you file?
-
JBrooka
They converted mine to a paper check. I was supposed to have it fired deposited on a prepaid card but that didn’t happen! I believe they did the same thing last year .
-
Winter Sullivan
JBrooka – did you choose paper check or did they convert it instead of DD?
-
JBrooka
Just this morning i was updated to approved and sent with an approval and sent date of 2/11. Hopefully they mailed it out today instead of next week but we’ll see
-
Kay
I have two bars. Filed 1/25 been stuck on recieved since the 28th. This is my first year in Colorado.. how long does it usually take?
-
Lynette
Filed and accepted on 1/22 I’ve had 2 bars since 1/26 on CO where’s my refund. When I log in to my account it says no return filed action needed, that just happened today. I called and was told it’s an error my return is processing and I should have my refund soon.
-
Winter Sullivan
I’m at 3 bars, submitted 1/25. In my login tax account it shows my refund, then minus the whole amount and balance at 0. Every year it’s done this, I’ve gotten it in the next few days. Fingers crossed!!! Anyone else?
-
Michel E Thibault
As of yesterday i have two bars on my CO state tax return. Two to go….
-
Gary
Has anyone received a paper check in the mail? It said that it was sent a month ago! I still have not received it. Just wondering thanks!
-
Krystyn
Update: yesterday I received a letter in the mail that said take action and that I had to enter a verification code. That was around 3 yesterday afternoon. This morning I have updated to the 3rd bar that says it has been processed and should be issued within the next 10 days! It’s progress so I’m happy.
-
Krystyn
Filed 2/16 didn’t say accepted on wmr until 2/21 and I am still stuck on the 2nd bar. Does anyone know how long it is taking this year? Last year only took about 2 weeks. Just trying to see how long it is taking this year or if I should call?
-
Sara
USPS shows paper check arriving today 😉
-
Joshua Moore
The paper check has nothing to do with identity fraud or security. It’s because they loose interest with direct deposit. With paper check the money is able to sit in the States bank account much longer drawing interest. With direct deposit the money leaves the bank immediately. I’m beyond pissed I’m bringing my theory to a news outlet
-
@Sara It’s been like this for the past couple of years. Snail mail is definitely not more secure than direct deposit. Especially where I live. We’ve had our mailboxes broken into twice in the last year, so it’s certainly worrisome. Did it take forever for DoR to even recognise your return? For almost two weeks after filing, it kept saying my return hadn’t been filed or they couldn’t find it. I don’t know what’s going on with them.
-
Sara
@JBinSOCO I’ve called twice. They won’t give me any info until after the 28th. I had marketplace for 1 month and didn’t file the 8962. I’m hoping because it makes them owe me $30 they won’t catch it. Doubt I’m that lucky, but if I don’t have a date this weekend, I will call back and try the honest approach.
-
JBinSOCO
Mine was updated too check sent out tomrow get it in 5-7 days, direct deposit id have it tomorow,,, ughhh buttholes, oh and @Sara if your fed is still processing no bars and date will be provided when available.. that probably means you have to id verify they say they sent a letter but ull probably never get it.. id call them
-
Sara
Same. I filed 2/2, accepted same day. Sat in not accepted until around the 14th. When I logged in, I could tell it had been received on the 2nd even though the wmr said not received. The day before it finished processing, I had a take action with red exclamation when I logged in and clicked 2017 return. Within a day, it was approved. Today, finally complete, received, was issued 2/23 allow 5-7 days for paper check to arrive. I have no idea why they think mail is more secure than direct deposit. My federal is still stuck in processing without bars.
-
@jbinsoco I just checked DoR this morning to see if any movement was happening and it was approved and sent, should be here by next week.
-
JBinSOCO
@Mandie call they will tell you 303 238 7378
-
@JBinSOCO So they’re mailing checks again this year? Great. I’m glad they let us know that.
-
JBinSOCO
I called the dor today they said i was approved the 14th but it hasnt been mailed even tho i wanted direct deposit so im hoping its mailed out today..
-
@JBinSOCO I haven’t seen anything for over 10 days (excluding weekends), so I’m a little PO’d about this.
-
JBinSOCO
@Samantha same here hopefully we see a direct deposit or check sent date this week.
-
Samantha
I was moved to 3rd bar on the 14th and I am still sitting there… waiting…
-
JBinSOCO
Your refund for filing period 12/31/2017 has been reviewed. It should be approved within the next 10 business days. that is what i get 3 bars saying reviewed, also i say they are doing direct deposits this year. Can anyone confirm direct deposit. and how much longer do you think until i see a ddd or check.
-
Falange
Has anyone rec. there’s yet?
-
Mine also updated to refund reviewed. And at the bottom of the page it said my carryover for 12/31/2017 has been approved. Check the bottom of the page in fine print. If it is in the 3rd bar it is approved. I just hope it only takes a day or 2 to send now.
-
Falange
I just looked at my Colorado Revenue online account. For this year’s, it says the amount of my refund which is new. On wmr Colorado, it updated today saying it is in review. Hoping to get my deposit soon!
-
Status on revenue online just updated to refund reviewed. Should be issued in 10 days.
-
Nicole
@Scg2018… That is incorrect. I have both credits and received by deposit about 7:30pm yesterday, 2/12/18. The website stated my refund was sent to account provided on 2/13/18 but my credit union releases a day or two early. My bars stayed at the Reviewing for about a week and yesterday it updated with DDD. So EITC/ACTC are not holding for federal.
-
Filed and accepted on 1/30. The Colorado WMR sat on “return not received or not yet processed” until this morning. Finally moved up to “Return Received & Being Processed”. I do have EIC and ACTC.
-
Scg2018
I spoke to a rep today and he told me that colorado is not releasing refund for eitc/ actc until federal releases theres.
-
Nicole
I just received my direct deposit!
-
Nicole
Filed 1/22 accepted 1/24 with both credits.
-
LadyV
@Nicole when did you file your return? When did it get accepted? Are you getting EIC/ACTC? Asking to see if the rep just told me a bunch of crap about state refunds are on hold that have EIC?ACTC until federal gets approved.
-
Nicole
I just checked the CO website and it states my refund was approved and was sent to bank provided on 2/13/2018. I should receive tonight. I will update if so. I’m so relieved I’m not getting a paper check!!
-
Amanda
Supposedly state was sent out on the 31st of January in a check and have yet to get it. It’s now the 12th of Feburary and nothing.

Hi guys! I was waiting for my fellow Coloradans to start posting. I can give you my experience from being a native in CO. I have not received DD in 4 years, they always send a check. They are very slow at sending money (60) days in years past. They also asked me to send in an energy bill 2 years ago and basically a spouse paper stating when I was divorced. At the time never been married. It is very frustrating the way co handles returns. I wish you all better luck than I’ve had!

This thread goes way back so check out dates. I was accepted the 23rd. I finally got reviewed now waiting for approval and refund to be sent.

@brideofchaotica2 no problem:-)
-
@Lady V Thanks for that info! I was wondering why it kept showing not received/not processed. That makes sense!

For those who don’t know already, I just read on the Colorado Revenue website that they’re sending paper checks this year to combat fraud. They did say ‘some’, so maybe not everyone will get a check. Here it is verbatim:
“The Department is converting some tax refunds to a paper check that were requested to be delivered by direct deposit. Making this change is intended to prevent criminals from easily divert fraudulently filed refunds to their own accounts. A letter will come with the refund that was converted to paper check. The letter contains a phone number taxpayers can call. The number is just for those taxpayers who have not filed an income tax return yet or who are not expecting a refund — to report the unexpected refund to the Department. You may also Report Tax Fraud online. Avoiding potential refund fraud by sending paper checks outweighs taking the risk of sending a refund electronically to the wrong party.”

I have been checking the revenue online tool and it kept saying my return has no been received yet. So I just called and waited to get someone for about 10 minutes and was told they received my return on the 27th and are waiting on Federal to approve my EIC and then it’ll be released. So for those of you who are waiting on Federal and have EIC credits this is the hold up with state. So I’m assuming that by the 15th everything should start process

On the CO WMR page it doesnt even show my tac return has been accepted. I got an email from turbo tax a week ago saying they accepted it.
-
Amanda
Well my Colorado refund was approved and of course we got sent a paper check this is aggervating
-
Exactly the same here. I have a small return as I did a contract job for 2 months there. but Tax Act said it was accepted 1/30 but the WMR says not received. Makes me wonder if Colorado even uses and updates their own WMR.
-
@amanda I haven’t heard anything about paper checks. TurboTax says Colorado accepted my return on 01/30, but the CO state WMR shows no info found.
-
Amanda
Are they sending all paper checks this year? I wanted dd

We got an email saying our return was accepted on 2/15, but when I try to check the status it says “return not received or not yet processed”. Seems like it should at least say something by now.
-
My status has3 bars. But instead of approved it says refund adjusted. Anyone ever had that happen or know what it means?
-
Filed and accepted 2/4. Went to 2 bars 2/9, then both bars disappeared 2/17, still no bars as of today. I have read this is common for a few days prior to all bars returning with a DDD though, so hopefully that is the case!

Website says Colorado approved and that they sent a paper check the 21st of Feb.I’m supposed to get dd to my bank.
-

@jebub- I spoke with co state on Thursday and they told me they won’t start processing returns till the first week of February, but on Friday morning I woke up to a second bar so I think they have already started. Hopefully they come soon. Can’t say for federal they are taking there sweet time!!!

I submitted my taxes on 1/28/14 via HRB. It was accepted according to HRB, but nothing on the webpage. Today (2/10/14) I get this:
Your refund has been processed but a refund has not yet issued. Processing of the return may take another 4-6 weeks. You should log into Revenue Online for further information on the status of your return and refund.
:( That really sucks.

It appears that due to a spike in fraudulent returns submitted to State revenue services, some states have been taking added measures to ensure a return is not fraudulent. this is slowing the entire system down, and it also appears that many Colorado returns that were issued electronically (probably HR Block, and software like TurboTax), will be receiving refunds via check instead of via direct deposit as originally requested by the tax payer.
So look out in the mail for yours! I know I submitted my taxes and had them accepted on the 1st of february, by the 2nd of february they had already given some of my return to one of their collections departments, and I still don’t have the remainder of my refund yet! It was awesome how they were able to pay themselves within 3 days, but to then send me what I’m owed, they can’t seem to figure out how to do that over a month later.

We have been looking at this for 4 weeks.
“Your refund has been processed but a refund has not yet issued. Processing of the return may take another 4-6 weeks.”
Have the earlier posts received their refund yet and how long did it take? We usually have our refund in a week and it’s been 5 weeks now.

Any news?

Just checked again and the verbiage is still the same with the addition of “but can be delayed longer”. What is going on? This is extremely frustrating . We can be penalized by the government for delays in payment but it unfortunately does not work vice a versa.
“Your refund has been processed but a refund has not yet issued. Most refunds issue in 2-6 weeks, but can be delayed longer. Please use the AccessAccount function of Revenue Online for more details about your return and refund. “

Same info here. Any updates?

I received the exact same message. My return was accepted on 01/27/2014 and I have been looking at that message for two weeks now. I even logged in to Revenue Online to see if I could get more information but it lists the exact same thing. What is going on? I know people that filed a paper return for Colorado and they already received a refund!!
