I received my refund this morning via DD
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
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
@Kim Congratulations! I did not update today, but I’m sure it’s coming soon.
@MIMI I have no idea how i’m going to get mine. It has a DDD of 2/22 and says it may take 3 business days to deposit. My son already has a pending deposit in his account, we have the same bank.
@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
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
@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.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.
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.
@mimi When did you file and when were you accepted?
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
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
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.
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 ColoradoI 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
Mine was approved and converted to paper check. Boo! But at least it’s done. I filed 1/24, accepted 1/24.
@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 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.
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.
JBrooka thanks for the info.
I’m still waiting to be approved.
I filed on the 22nd but wasn’t submitted until the 28th
Jbrooka congrats! When did you file?
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 .
JBrooka – did you choose paper check or did they convert it instead of DD?
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
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?
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.
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?
As of yesterday i have two bars on my CO state tax return. Two to go….
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!
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.
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?
USPS shows paper check arriving today 😉
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.
@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.
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
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.
@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.
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.
@Samantha same here hopefully we see a direct deposit or check sent date this week.
I was moved to 3rd bar on the 14th and I am still sitting there… waiting…
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.
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.
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.
@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.
I spoke to a rep today and he told me that colorado is not releasing refund for eitc/ actc until federal releases theres.
I just received my direct deposit!
Filed 1/22 accepted 1/24 with both credits.
@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.
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!!
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.
Well my Colorado refund was approved and of course we got sent a paper check this is aggervating
