My return is finally processing

Let the 30 days begin

Does anyone know what is going on with filing Iowa State as a part year resident? I cannot submit and the date keeps changing, that they’re available to file.
-
I filed my taxes on the 17th of February, received my federal right away, state finally popped up that they were issued. The next day it updated gave me the amount and the date they were “issued” the 17th of March, still waiting for my direct deposit….anyone else dealing with this?
-
Mine just updated to the 14 day message. How much time does it take realistically from now?
-
Hey again everyone – quick update, it looks like my state refund is gonna be deposited tomorrow. Still says being reviewed to make sure correct on the Iowa Where’s My Refund site. Check your bank accounts for pending deposits. I submitted mine on 1/28 and I do have a dependent. Good luck everyone!
-
Mine also says being reviewed to make sure it’s correct. Iowa tax refunds are such a joke lol
-
Mine says they are reviewing it to make sure it’s correct
-
I filled February 6th got accepted February 11th for state and federal and have heard absolutely nothing about my state
-
On the Iowa website it says 30-45 days
-
Accepted 2.13.21 No progress
-
Anyone heard anything for Iowa, I know every year they are slow.
-
Is anyone still waiting?
-
The message said allow up to five days and that it was issued on the forth. Are they counting 5 business days or callender dats
-
Guess they are adding extra steps to take their time, glad everyone is updating
I updated to the 14 day message and I know I don’t owe anything, hopefully I’ll see another update soon…
Tax season is almost over!
-
Finally! It changed yesterday to the 14 day message and today to the 5 day message! It says the full amount, it took so long I was worried. A few years ago they garnished my refund because someone with a very similar SSN had an unpaid DUI in a county I’ve never been to, it was a whole stupid thing. But yaaaaas!
Accepted 1/28
-
Apparently they are doing things quite differently this year. If you have the issued allow 14 day it should update one more time and then you should get your refund the next week in the middle(ish) of the week.
-
Your refund was issued. Please allow 14 days to receive your refund. If the amount is different from what was requested, please allow 7 to 10 days to receive a letter of explanation.
This update was posted to mine today. No date or amount either. I should not have anything I know if against our iowa tax.
-
Friday morning it updated to refund sent allow 5 days and I got the full amount in my checking early this morning.
-
@Hoiland51 2 years ago my return said the same thing and I had a speeding ticket from one of the cameras they took that amount out of my return, if amount is not showing they usually adjusted amount or something was owed to state.. I would call the IA offset line or IA IRS they can tell you
-
@maria36 did you get any other information about the status message you got?? I got the same and have a bad feeling. Did you get your return?
-
updated this am to deposit sent allow 5 days.
-
@Maria36 Mine also updated to that this morning.
-
I’ve been stuck on “preparing your refund for payment” for over a week. Submitted 1/28. Ugh.
-
Same here
-
@maria36 mine updated
this am to the same. -
I have updated to:
Your refund was issued. Please allow 14 days to receive your refund. If the amount is different from what was requested, please allow 7 to 10 days to receive a letter of explanation.
No amount is shown. I have a bad feeling about it
-
Got mine dismorning
-
@Jackie H mine has been sitting there since 2-19 lol
-
@sk mine is still on preparing refund to
-
@Jennifer. Omg!!!! I hope it hits soon. Mine still hasn’t changed from processing refund to sent.
-
Still nothing in my account, Iowa WMR shows it was sent Friday
-
How long did you stay in the previous status before updating to refund issued
-
I updated on Friday to your refund has been issued please allow 5 days with the amount showing
-
I can check it now it says what it’s been saying “we are preparing your refund for payment”
-
Mine says my info is incorrect but up until now I could check it this is so weird
-
As of this morning I cannot check on my refund. Anyone else?
-
Accepted 2/1
WMR for Iowa showing they are checking to make sure it is correct, been stuck at this message for almost 2 weeks
Iowa needs to get it together the past few years they “randomly” picked me to verify my information for 3 years in a row really ridiculous now they hold our refunds until the last minute
-
I just updated to this a few minutes ago, it didn’t say that yesterday or when I checked earlier this morning, so, maybe check Iowa’s WMR again. Be careful though, I think they only allow you to check 2-3 times a day.
-
REFUND MESSAGE
Your refund was issued. Please allow up to 5 business days for your direct deposit to be received by your financial institution.

@sk
Mine finally updated to being prepared.
-
@Jennifer thanks on eyes lol . I swear they are doing the see how long we can stall this out lol. Lol My return went from being accepted on 1-28 to date of return receipt 1-24 lol .Mine hasn’t updated and at this point i don’t think im going to get dd till middle next week at this point.
-
@sk, you did pretty good for having no eyes…lol I have been trying to get them to verify my DD information, I also asked them about the amount, because it doesn’t show on the website. The phone agents literally just check the WMR site. He did dig a little deeper after he saw that it did not, in fact, show an amount. Geesh dude, I’m not going to lie about that, I was told that someone would call me back to verify DD information, but of course, no one did.
-
@Jennifer sorry for typos didn’t have glasses near.lol
-
@Jennifer congrats on still waiting for mine to update to sent
I am still sitting at we are preparing refund lol.
The only thing that changed on mine was date return received lol it reads it received return on 24 th lol. I think They are stretching it out as close to the 6 week mark as they can sign this year with our backlash. -
I don’t understand why a direct deposit takes 10 days let alone 14, Iowa really needs to get it together. I also updated to refund sent. So we still don’t know when the refund is coming.
-
@meredith it generally depends on bank but i thought at one point i thought i read can take up to 10 days.
-
After like 2 weeks of saying my return was being reviewed, the status finally changed to we are preparing your refund for payment on Sunday morning. As of this morning it says it’s been issued, however, it’s still not in my account. Does anybody have any idea how long that will take? I am very impatient as I’m really counting on this money.
-
@sk thanks
-
@clara mine hasn’t updated since over night Tues (re Weds morn)
-
@clara it says it updates live but i find that’s not factual it usually only updates overnights.I have found over the years in reality once per week mine always updates over night Tues.but some says they update over on Fri so i am really unsure of this.But generally overnights yes.
-
@sk do. It only update over night
-
@sk nope still saying review
-
the site must be having issues very hard to post.Just keep trying eventually it goes thru,
-
My Iowa state refund now says it has been issued but not on the card yet that it is supposed to go on.
-
@KaeDub and @Clara did you update over night ?
-
@sk I’m hoping keeping my fingers crossed
-
@KaeDub and @Clara maybe it will update again over night .They are saying 30 to 45 days and i suppose this depends on acceptance date.
-
I’m in Iowa and still have the message we are reviewing
-
I still have reviewing for my account. I hope I don’t have to verify anything. If they send me anything I won’t see it for over a month. I wonder if it is taking longer because I’m not a resident.
-
Mine also changed this morning. Hopefully it will update again this week. I have gotten last year refund on a monday and i think in previous years.
-
@Jennifer got the exact same message this am.
-
Got this message this morning,
REFUND MESSAGE
We are preparing your refund for payment. This message will update with the refund amount and issue date when the refund is approved to be sent to your financial institution or directly to you in the mail as requested on your return. Our phone representatives do not have any additional information about your return. Please continue to check back here for updates on your refund’s progress. -
Also no movement. Same message about reviewing my account.
-
@Jennifer
You are so right they could have been honest with you to start with.Hopefully everyone will update with more info overnight tuesday or Wednesday. -
I’m starting to get annoyed. I don’t care as much that I didn’t get my refund last week, I more care that they said I would and I didn’t. If it’s going to be two more weeks, just say that, geesh.
-
Im sitting at being reviewed also no change! Seems to change every Thursday over night.
-
Anyone seen any movement since last tuesday? No changes still sitting at the we are reviewing message.I hope everyone updated overnight tuesday.
-
@Jennifer
Thank you I was wondering how it was going to go this year.I have never seen this message before and was concerned .From what I understood from last year reading an interesting article if they were going to do what they have done last few years to cover their butts from passing a very bad law. It’s a very interesting article. -
@dm that is a generic holding message before they send out your refund. Most likely, as Iowa only seems to update once per week, people will see their refunds deposited before that message changed. I had to call on Monday for a different issue and I asked about my refund, she said it was finished and approved and that I would be getting it this week. Their WMR didn’t update until Wednesday and then it went to this message. They are saying 30-45 days this year, I am assuming the faster timeline is because of the backlash on the 6-8 week timeline last year.
-
dm – exactly the same thing. File 1/24, accepted 1/28.
-
Is anyone else getting this message ?
REFUND MESSAGE
We are reviewing your return to make sure it is correct. Our phone representatives do not have any additional information about your return while it is in review. Please check back here for updates on your return’s progress. -
Any one get their refund from Iowa yet?
-
@jennifer
Isn’t that the truth lol. They don’t want flooded with calls like last year. They just found a new way to delay.Everyone is under review and it is now a normal part of process. -
@SK I love how they make it big cartoons to basically tell us, Don’t call us, We’ll call you…lol
-
@jennifer
I updated to we are reviewing your tax return ALSO .I’m thinking they added this to buy more time and cut down on complaints like last year LOLMore info can be found here
If I understand it correctly this is normal after you move from processing it goes to review then it moves to refund .
-
So, my status changed this morning to “Being Reviewed” I had never seen that before, so I called to find out what it meant, the lady on the phone says it stays in the “Review” status until the refund is sent.
-
Mine just says being processed. Mine changed last Friday from received to being processed
-
Mine also updated yesterday to we are reviewing your return. So yes I hope that it changes overnight or I wonder if it it going to be like another week? But I have read where due to the people of Iowa speaking on how long it took last year or so to get refunds that the Department of revenue is trying to get refund sent within 30 days. So I hope this is correct.
-
Awesome thanks for the reply…the website typically dont update until I already have my refund…fingers crossed we will all see it soon :-)
-
@Patrick
More info can be found hereIf I understand it correctly this is normal after you move from processing it goes to review then it moves to refund .
-
@Patrick
Sorry for typo meant to say how odd lol.At update this am mine read the exact same thing with no changes at all from last year. -
@Patrick
How did mine has done the same and I had no changes at all. -
I’m wondering where or if I messed up on my iowa return I just checked and I updated to we are reviewing your tax return to make sure its accurate…only thing that changed this year was I got a new job
-
@jennifer Ty
-
I’m not really sure. I did notice that it started saying “Processing” instead of “Received” last Thursday, so maybe a Wednesday overnight update?
-
@jennifer
Great news !!! Mine was accepted on 28th.Did they say when site will update ? I always thought it did on weds, someone had said sometime back. -
I filed on Turbo Tax 1/20, accepted 1/27, their refund tracking still has us processing, the woman I spoke to on the phone said it’s finished and the refund was approved and that I should receive it this week.
-
If I may ask when did you file your Iowa return. I filed mine on 1/25 was accepted on 1/28. Went from received to processing your return for about a couple of weeks now. I read your comment did you file earlier in the year? It would be nice if they released them early instead of like 6-8 wks. in the previous year.
-
I just talked to the state, they said our return has been processed, refund has been approved and we should have it sometime this week. WooHoo! BTW, I had to call them because my State status on Turbo Tax changed from accepted to rejected this morning I was freaking out!
-
@mandalynne No, I don’t think so. As far as I’m aware, the only way to know if you have an offset, before they just send you a lesser amount, is to call the offset line.
-
Would an offset show up while preparing taxes? Like b4 you submitted the final?
-
@sk
I dont think so. Nothing has changed from previous years
-
@Jennifer
Mine has been at being processed since 1/28 no other movement -
Anyone seeing any movement yet? Mine has moved from “received” to “being processed”
-
still showing received and it is being processed still since 1/28.
-
Mine just says received that’s it
-
Mine still showing received and it is being processed still since 1/28. Anyone have anymore updates on Iowa refund.
-
@Amanda could you possibly have an offset of taxes ?
-
has anyones taxes been drastically reduced even tho nothing has changed from previous years? we went from 4 digits to 2 digits! but income and household have stayed the same.
-
jennifer yes fingers crossed last year we waited 6 weeks.
-
We just got the message that they have our return and it is being processed. I read an article stating that they had a 30 day timeframe from receipt for getting the refunds issued, if it starts to go beyond 45 they’ll bump up overtime. Fingers crossed that this is true. It would be really nice to get it before April this year.
-
Jennifer mine says the same give it 24 or 48 hrs to update which takes place over night
-
TT has my Iowa State return accepted, however, when I check Iowa’s WMR, it says there is no match in the system, how long does it usually take with Iowa? This is only our 2nd year filing in this state, last year was a weird situation so I don’t think we can go by that.
-
Filed TT 1/24 accepted 1/28
-
Accepted 3/4. Still waiting!! No EIC, just small business. Absolutely no reason for this. Wouldn’t it be smarter to just add security measures to prove ID, rather than hold it up?!
-
Reinna Waseskuk, the irs does pay interest but under certain circumstance. Amended refunds often have interest applied but also refunds that are sent 45 days after April 15th usually have interest on them. I believe it is 5% interest now. Two years ago mine was really late. I filed in February with injured spouse and I did something wrong so it was my mistake but they also didn’t notify me for a couple months and then I just stalled on resending it. I finally re-sent it August and they got me the refund in 4 weeks with $83 in interest.
-
I was accepted on 2/28 . It still say just that. Accepted. If they are trying to wait it out for whatever reason they should pay us interest. I’f it were us expected to pay them. Good lord, they would throw charges at us left and right.
-
At some point yesterday, it updated to, ” your refund has been issued. Please allow 14 days to receive your refund. ” Blah blah blah. Waited until today to post because I wanted to see if it would update and show an amount. Still no amount showing. Will update again whenever IT updates. Refund receive on 2/25.
-
Update: Pending in CU for deposit Monday. Good luck everyone. My timeline is in the posts below.
-
Just another update, around 6:30am or so this morning I updated to the refund issued message and now says please allow 5 days to expect your deposit, and it shows my full refund amount on the bottom. I anticipate to see it in my bank maybe by monday or tuesday next week. However I do bank with a credit union and deposits come in sometimes at night or mornings, pending when they receive the notification. For more details I posted yesterday when I finally exited the processing message.
Filed and accepted 02/18 with H&R Block online
-
Filed and accepted 02/18 and around 11pm last night I finally updated to the refund issued and please allow 14 days to receive refund, if amount below is different then what you expected please allow 7-10 days for a letter with information. However no amount listed, however I don’t expect details till possibly tomorrow when it usually updates to refund sent or whatever. I did check throughout the day yesterday, so my update did come sometime around 11pm.
-
I filed and accepted on 02/16. Sorry for the wrong date update.
-
It doesn’t even seem like they’re doing it in any particular order! I filed before SKR and still nothing! Filed 2/25. Says they received it 2/25 and that they are processing it. It has never said anything about an acceptance or approval date. I for one feel that if they’re going to take this long every year, we should be getting compensated with the interest our money occurs for every day that it takes them to release it after they receive it.
-
@SKR When were you accepted? I was accepted on 2/18 and haven’t had any kind of update yet.
-
I got 14days message in status today and expecting my DD to credit into my account in 2-3 days.
-
Anyone accepted the week of 2/18 received their deposit or have any update yet? This seems to be taking a ridiculously long time.
-
filed on 02/26 and still waiting for the DD. it says received and in process. Will update once the status changed.
-
Finally got my deposit today, accepted 2/1
-
Finally processed! Filed 2/1 today I got the 14 day message.
-
Mine updated from 14 day message to deposit sent 3-7 please allow 5 days.
-
Mine is sitting in my bank account for deposit date on 3/11. It was released on 3/6. On 3/5 it said it would take 14 days then yesterday morning it showed 5 days allowed in bank.So it is pending at my credit union. Finally, I know last year I got state close to the same time which was 3/5/18.
-
Glad some people are finally moving. My $253 is still in process 🙄🙄😂
-
From what I am understanding this year they are going to be 2 Updates on deposits. The first one will read you will receive your deposit in 14 days. The second update most are saying the following day from 14 day update you will get your direct deposit date..
-
Finally an update however there is no deposit dates given.
REFUND MESSAGE
Your refund was issued. Please allow 14 days to receive your refund. This is the same information available to our phone representatives. -
Same here, filed 1/28 with no update yet. Not even a huge amount of money…it’s ridiculous that it is so delayed EVERY YEAR.
-
Filed and accepted 1/22 finally updated today. Says it was approved and expect a deposit in 14 days.
-
Filed and accepted 2/1/19. Still in process. Iowa is hands down the WORST state when it comes to refunds. I got Nebraska back within 2 weeks of filing online and I’m still sitting here waiting over 2 months after filing Iowa at the same time with nothing.
-
Actually I was wrong, don’t panic. I just realized the dates on those posts were 2018. My bad. False alarm.
-
filed 2/1, still in process. On the state refunds boards people with a later accept date are saying the website shows their refund issued but could take 14 days. What the hell?
-
Sounds good to me Bonnie. This is crazy.
-
I think we should charge the State of Iowa interest and penalty fee like they would us. get a class action law suite going! Anybody In on that??!
-
Filed 1-30 accepted 1-30 still in process no update !!!!!
-
Filed 1/18 Accepted 1/28 Still nothiiiiingggg ugh
-
Filed 1-30 accepted 1-30 still in process no updates
-
Filed and accepted 2/18, nothing
-
Filed 1/18 and accepted no news yet no change. Anyone receive yet?
-
Filed 1/18 Accepted 1/28 – no update. 🤷🏻♀️🙄
-
filed 1.19, accepted 1.28, still waiting for refund 2.25
-
Filed and accepted 1-29-2018 last year didn’t receive refund until 3-8-2018.
-
Filed 1-30 accepted 1-30 still in process
-
Mine was accepted 1/22. A whole month ago today. I can’t believe that there hasn’t been any kind of update.
-
Accepted 2/1, still in process. I feel like last year was fast but I can’t remember. With $125M budget surplus from last year I can’t understand what the hold up could possibly be….
-
Yes, I actually got mine March 4th last year they were released last week of feb if I remember correctly, but then take almost a week to be DD
-
I filed 1/27 accepted 1/28 just says showing receipt date. I feel this is going to be slow. Did not receive anything until March last year.
-
Filed 1/18, accepted 1/28 being processed
-
Filed my taxes with HR Block had to mail them in because I could not file online due to a form and adjustment. Receiving message that your taxes have been received and are being processed. They were accepted on 3/20. Same message for, four weeks now. I did ask that my refund be DD even though I had to mail them in…I thought this would be quicker. Waiting…four weeks now…
-
Filed 2/23 mine still says in process. next year think i will wait until the deadline to file and i am not going to claim any of the credits that I qualify for because they don’t want to pay out. They just sit on the review because some people screw the system and those of us who work for a living but are a single parent get screwed over!
-
I filed on 2.14 and that’s when they received it and i still have no refund from the state. I look online and it says its in process. Its been over a month, WTH is going on with it???
-
So that’s 5 days from day of issue to deposit
-
We just found out my money is pending deposit for the 20th
-
Can anybody tell me what time of day they have been receiving deposits for tax refunds
-
Mine says refund issued on the 15th. So I hope Tom. Just wish I knew what time of day most got it.
-
Well I’m guessing since most have not posted back they got their tax return hoping mine will be here tomorrow it’s been about the length of time for y’all
-
filed mine on 2-5-18, whats the hold up ,got Fed in 5 days.
-
Hello everyone I was just wondering those that have received their refund what time of day did it get deposited into your account
-
WOW IOWA SUCKS! Mine was saying processed 2/3 then of course whoever I owed fins too was holding it until today the remainder says was issued yesterday! Still not deposited as of today. I have been here for 5 long years and I am so ready to get the fuck out of this one horse town and go to a more diverse state that doesn’t tax you for everything you do!! NOW wtf is my money already I done paid yall now give me my money!!
-
Filed and accepted February 10th… still says received but nothing else. Anyone else in this situation?
-
I am SO glad I found this and I’m not the only one. Mine says issued 3/7 and I have been checking everywhere online to see who is allowed to take state refunds because I was sure someone had taken it 😂 so this helps. Sucks that it is happening to so many of us though.
-
Hi, I’ve received mine today. Good luck everyone.
-
Mine says I am suppose to get it 3/7/2018 and I still have not received it
-
Mine says the same thing… issue date of 3/5/2018 but I don’t have a deposit in my account yet. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one!
-
My refund status shows issue date of 3/2/18, no direct deposit as of yet 3/07.
What gives?
I know it should not take an entire week, this is frustrating. -
mines also shows refund amount and issue 3/5/18 but has not deposited into my account. Hopefully it will soon
-
Hi, it shows that my tax refund was issued on 3/5/2018, but it is 3/6/2018 and the refund is not in my bank account. It was to be direct deposited. Is there a delay?
-
Has anyone got their Iowa State return yet? Or know when they will be sent out? Filed:2/2
-
Welp- here we are past the 8 week mark and NOTHING! Still the same message- please allow an additional 8 weeks! Feeling pretty frustrated.
-
Has anyone filed in the last couple weeks and gotten their refund?
My sons gf filed on 04/17/17 and hers has been processed and updated. We filed a day later and are still waiting. Ours and hers both were pretty straight forward and simple.
-
My state was sent on 3/22 and received it on 3/24 finally. I hope this does not happen again next year.
-
I have the same 5 day message for deposits @ any updates, mines issued 3/24 still nothing
-
@kmillersharkey:
Since you filed in January did you claim EITC? Just curious because I claimed EITC and filed on January 24th. I have American Express Serve for my direct deposit. I know some state refunds were sent out due to not having any EITC.
-
UPDATE
as of yesterday March 17, website updated from “8 weeks” to your refund has been issued please allow 5 days to receive your deposit. it has not hit my account, and I used netspend. I filed and was accepted Jan. 31 -
@Kay
Yea but if we owed they would want their money now or would garnish our paychecks -
@ Bryce
Yes I feel you very much. I filed back on January 24th and since then it’s been saying 8 weeks then in Feb. it said allow at least 2 wks. then it went back to 8 wks. I even tried calling them a couple of times and one rep. said allow 8 wks. now this was last week and so I asked him so around the 24th of March and he said if you have not received anything by then to check back. This is getting to sound a little shady how much more identity protection do they need to go through does not make since. -
I filed the 19th of January still no update or no refund their 8 weeks are up Wtf???
-
If that is the case then seems like for me 60 from January 24 would be correct if counting weekend days. But still falls in that March timeframe. Maybe something will update next week. Frustrating.
-
Well, I called the Iowa DOT yesterday. After a 2 hour wait on hold (really!) I finally spoke to a man who said the refunds were delayed for about 60 days.
I also asked him about the wording on the IDOT website mentioned in my post above:
“We have received your return. It is being reviewed. If additional information is needed, you will receive a letter from us. Returns filed electronically are typically resolved within 60 days of the date below. Returns filed on paper should be resolved within 3 to 6 months from the date below.”
I was concerned that the words ‘reviewed’ and ‘resolved’ (instead of ‘processed’) indicated there was something wrong with my return. The fellow I spoke to assured me that was not the case.
-
@ Jane Macolm
I filed on January 23 and it was received on January 24. Alot of people from Iowa are in the same boat. Only when I check mine refund status for Iowa it states “We have received your return. Please allow an additional 8 weeks to complete processing of your return.
REFUND DETAILS
RETURN RECEIPT DATE 1/24/2017”
It has been showing this since I filed. But back in February it went from allow 2 weeks then back to this message above. Now I have spoken to a couple of representatives with a long time wait. And he stated to allow 8 wks. which aware of and I stated so around the 24th would be 8 wks. for me from that date. And also I have been reading on different websites where it says Iowa will not be releasing refunds until early March here it is early March and still no signs. If I do not see any change by next week I am calling again. This is nuts. I received my federal back on February 20. -
Hey, Everyone –
I filed electronically on March 1. I got my Federal refund direct deposited into my bank on March 7.
I still haven’t got my Iowa refund. When I checked the Iowa Dept of Revenue site, I got this message:
“We have received your return. It is being reviewed. If additional information is needed, you will receive a letter from us. Returns filed electronically are typically resolved within 60 days of the date below. Returns filed on paper should be resolved within 3 to 6 months from the date below.”
Has anyone else got this message? I’m concerned that they said my return is being ‘reviewed’ rather than processed, and that it is being ‘resolved’. Also that time frame seems excessive.
Do I need to be worried that there is a problem and they are going to audit me or is it just a standard message?
-
@ Kay I called them and asked them about updates for our state taxes and the lady I spoke to on the phone had the nerve to tell me that their website does NOT state the refunds will be issued early march! After arguing with her for about 5 min I got so mad I just hung up! I wish they would just release our refunds.

@Skylar
I know I am waiting also, have not seen very many people post about Iowa refund. This is pretty much early March. I know 8 wks. for me will be the week of the 24th. I filed back on 1/24. -
I still have not received my refund and I’m getting very frustrated! On the website it clearly states that anyone that claimed the EITC will receive their refund Early March! So where’s our money it’s all b.s.
-
Just a followup with anyone here it is the second week of March and I heard that state refunds will be issued early March. Has anyone heard any other updates or changes? Anyone still waiting for theirs?
-
Yeah, 8 weeks here also. I have no EIC or any of that stuff. I’m tweaking my with holding for next year. I about got it right this year so at least my refund is pretty small.
-
Anyone from Iowa still waiting on state refund. Filed back in January accepted 1/24. Still saying allow 8 wks. to process. Went from 2 weeks last month to back to 8 wks. I spoke with someone this morning he just said allow at least 8 wks. So I stated to keep checking the wheres my refund link on Iowa dept. of revenue site around the 24th that would be 8 wks from my date. Anyone else spoke to someone and getting any where in the same boat. I am definitely aware of this EIC thing as well with it.

I sent in a paper return to the State IRS and Federal IRS, The paper return was accepted by State the day after I sent it in. I was in the “please allow 3-6 months” to process paper returns until today, now it states from Iowa “We have received your return. Please allow an additional 8 weeks to complete processing of your return.”
So, I will update this if I receive a return before the 8 weeks from today, Feb. 27th, 2017. But, I more than likely won’t since my ex husband illegally claimed the children on his return and e-filed before I could, hence the paper filing. I did send in the copy of divorce decree proving he couldn’t claim them, so I hope this speeds it up, but more than likely not.
I did notice one thing that can be counted on, if YOU owe the IRS they want their money “right now!” or in payment plans, if the IRS owes us, we must beg, plead, prove we deserve it, and then wait wait wait until the IRS decides it will give it to us.
I understand the Fraud aspect, and it is a shame that the IRS has to hold onto legitimate returns because of Fraud, thank you My Ex Husband, as you now fall into the category of people that make our tax returns take much longer, not just for me, but for everyone because he committed fraud.
There has got to be a better way!!!
On a side note, federal IRS still states they haven’t even seen my return yet… Erghhhh!

My son filed his state return on January the 26th,2017 and he received his direct deposit in early February.I filed mine on January the 27th,2017 and today is a month later.I am still receiving the message stating allow 8 weeks for processing.I read that if there is an E.I.T.C involved in the return that the refund will be issued in March.After March the 1st hopefully the state will release the refunds.
-
Well…according to the Iowa DoR Facebook page, ALL returns are being held this year not just those who claimed PATH credits.
“”All electronically filed returns will have a turn around time of six to eight weeks even if no EITC is claimed on the Iowa return.” ”
I filed the 3rd so I expect I won’t see any money until the mid to latter part of March. I can understand being careful and conscientious but this borders on ridiculous. I won’t be e-filing my state taxes in the future since apparently, paper filers aren’t being subjected to these arbitrary holds.
-
Filed and accepted on 2/3 although the Iowa DoR website didn’t update to show that for a few days. Has said “Allow 2 additional weeks for processing” since that time. We are not claiming any of the credits that are slowing others down, but this is the slowest turnaround in refund issuance I can remember. Usually, about a week after filing we get our money. This year, for the first time ever, the fed is going to beat the state in turnaround time.
-
I filed my state taxes on 1/23 and logged in next day and showed my receipt date of 1/24. But got to allow at least 8 wks. for processing. They are taking this identity thing serious also. I filed my sons income tax and his says processing for at least 2 wks. So has to do with this identity and EIC thing I’m sure as I was reading on their website.

Iowa not releasing until March! So unfair
We have to wait for federal and state -
How do you know they won’t release until march for eic? @me
-
I was a little sad when I checked my state and saw the “at least 8 weeks to process”. Then I did some googling and found out that iowa state is not releasing refunds with EIC until March.
-
Filed on 1/17 today it showed is was relieved and to all AT LEAST 8 WEEKS to process. SERIOUSLY GRRR
-
I filed electronically in February. The state accepted my return on Feb.22. The only message that has been showing since then is to allow up to 60 days and that they will send a letter if they need additional information. Today is April 6th. It has bsen 45 days, haven’t received a letter and still no update.
-
My bank has it pending for tomorrow. So it took a total of 13 days. BUT my WMR for federal still hasn’t changed
-
I logged in and it says
REFUND MESSAGE
Your refund was issued. Please allow 14 days from the issue date below to receive your refund.
REFUND DETAILS
PROCESSING DATE 2/25/2016Every year it said that I got my money the next day BUT I haven’t received it yet.
-
I filed the 18 and it got accepted the 18 but on the iowa page it says the 19th. I called as I wanted to know how often they update that page and they told me mine was approved just waiting on DDD.
-
Well today it changed from the 60 day review to please allow 2 weeks to finish processing and now has a processing date of 2/23.Anyone else.No letter, and i didnt call to do anything.
-
02/16/16……I just talked with state of Iowa….. Here’s the scoop: There was a few week time frame that all of the refunds are being held because the IRS notified the state of Iowa that there were fraudulent returns filed. He said people that were not entitled to refunds filing for them. I filed on 02/07/16 it was processed on 02/09/16 still says allow 2 weeks for processing. No further updated on the website. Agent said my return has finished processing but he told me that I got caught in that group of people. The group that has the payments held will be released at the end of this week which would be the 02/19/16. My son’s was accepted on 02/01/16 and his now says that It is under review and will be released within 60 days if not sooner. My take on his is that he moved this past year and has a new address and a new bank account and they are making sure it is going to the correct person.
-
Mine says it is being reviewed and that if they need more info they will send a letter. Got the letter today and asking to send a copy of the W2
-
Anon…..I received the same message not sure if it’s normal or a bad sign. I haven’t heard anything else or gotten anything in the mail.
-
Submitted Taxes last week and federal and state were accepted.Checked Iowa state the past few days with a message of not received, however it just updated to received and is under review and usually is resolved within 60 days, and then has a processing date of 2/8/16. anyone else receive this, and how lomg does it usually take? as of right not is says to do nothing, if information is needed they will send a letter…..
