why doesn’t anyone answer how long it takes from when it says preparing refund till it deposits I am wondering the same question
Mine is finally in preparing refund. How long does this stage take?
Just wait till Corona Virus shuts down Minnesota Department of Treasury and who knows how long before we get our return I filled my taxes January 4th got Federal weeks ago still processing Minnesota.
@Sam The real holdup was because my employer did not send in my W2’s on-time. Once I provided the proof they finally did thats when the ball started rolling. The hardship letter just moved me to the top of the list. You can get a Tax Advocate but it is once in a lifetime with the MN State. So I just faxed in the hardship letter to the same agent. Your hardship letter should just contain any valid hardship that fits. Just make sure it is a real hardship.
@Sam I sent in my W2 and pay slips like they asked. They placed them in my file and told me on Tuesday I will be finished in about 3 weeks. So I sent in a hardship letter from my dependents Dr. and the very next day the agent called me and told me she processed my return as filed and to watch WMR. Friday it updated to preparing refund.
I filed 1/28… Got my federal 2/26 and MN still says processing! What is going on wsjteith them??
@Wade, how do you file a hardship with them? What does the letter need to contain?
@Sam WMR will update and say a letter was sent if they do send one. Usually it updates about 2 days after the letter was sent.
@Trysten Nope, you need that letter. They will ask for the last 4 digits of the letter ID. But you can fax the information, it does not have to be mailed. I got my letter last Saturday. They wanted my W2, last 3 paystubs. But I also sent them a hardship letter for good measure. I was informed today Quote “the docs were reviewed and my return was processed as filed, please check WMR daily for updates” end quote. I am assuming that that means it was completed and approved.
I file my on the first day open (Jan 27th) and 3 weeks later I got my Federal but MN State refund still show Processing until now. It’s been more than month already. This is first time happen to me and I don’t see any mail coming either.
So I have been on processing since January 23rd…..today it updated that they sent me a letter requesting more information to complete my return……what, why???I have the most straight forward return. Can I call and do this over the phone or do you have to do it via mail?
@Wade, I’ve not had anything telling me they are sending a letter for anything. Just sitting in processing. For weeks now. No reason why. So frustrating! Maybe I’ll get it by April?
@Sam. Well I got a letter requesting my W2 and last 3 paystubs. Seems my employer filed my W2 late with the SSA. But I sent those in plus advised them that the SSA has in-fact now acknowledged my W2. MN said they put it in the system, but until now I am stuck on we sent a letter. This is absolutely insane. Ultimately they cannot, absolutely not approve it, since I worked, paid taxes and have a valid w2 to show that. I just dont know why they are dragging their feet
Nope, I’m still waiting Wade. I was accepted on 2/3 and have not moved since that day.
Since I am suddenly alone here, I guess I am the only one still waiting on MN
Well, faxed in my W2 and paystubs. They have now been attached to my file and I am continuing to process AGAIN……… Really???
Fucking MN. I got my letter. They want me to mail in my W2, and last three paystubs. WTF. my W2 was submitted with my return when it was filed. This is BS.
02/13 Taxes Submitted
02/13 Tax return accepted by MN
02/28 Letter was sent out requesting more info
03/03 Letter was received and code was entered online for verification
03/06 Preparing refundAnyone know how long preparing refund takes?
Updated to a letter sent out on the 4th requesting more information. Sounds lime the same audit i had in 2017. Waiting on the letter now
Filed 3/1, updated to received on 3/3, processing 3/4, preparing 3/7…… what is the difference between processed and preparing….I would think it would be the other way around? How long does it typically take from preparing to sending via dd?
Mn is so damn slow
I filed 2/4 got my federal back 2/26 but still waiting on state. I didnt get my state back last year due to me filing self employed and my business not being registered well this year it is and I’m still waiting -_-
Just checked now. Changed overnight to preparing refund. Should hopefully see the money in a day or two!
Filed State & Fed 2/8.
Recieved Fed refund 2/26
State refund status changed from processing to preparing on 2/28
Called and he said it is processing through and it will remain on processing until I either get a letter or a refund. Really? What a big help he was. But then again, why should this year be any different? I never get my refund before mid April.
Still processing….since 2/3….seriously?!?!
Ya. I’m still processing too. Not a whole lot we can do until the state gets off their collective butts.
Filed and accepted 2/1
I’m still stuck on processing… no letters… nothing.
This is getting old.

Letter sent to Verify on 2/19 received 2/23

😁😁Been stuck on processing since 1/28/20 😒😒
Filed 2/6 with EITC. My MN state refund has been processing ever since… so has my fed refund.
@ImpatientlyWaiting2019. Been 30 days for me so far. About 30 more to go. EVERYT GD F_IN YEAR I wait 2-3 months. EVERY GD F_IN YEAR. I am tired of it. Honest to God I am tired of it. Sorry, but I needed to get that off my chest
Filed and accepted 2/2/20 on TaxSlayer.
It’s been 3 weeks and no update or movement.Filed 2/2
Processing since 2/3
Verified ID 2/22
Moved to Preparing Refund 2/25 around 10:15pm
Finally!
Maybe I’ll have to try to get an offset next year smh
Well IRS needs to put down the coffee and give me my money!
@HLJ There are people who filed a week ago and they have already gotten their State. They told me yesterday there was nothing noted, no notices or letters and that no examiner had even looked it yet. So I can only guess, many of the bigger returns they set aside for a later date, unless you have an offset.
@HLJ No they never give a reason why. I called them yesterday just to check in and they said no one has looked at it yet. I can’t imagine to put a pair of human eyes on every single return, if thats the case, then how do they decide whos family credit return on $1,100 they will look at first?
Filed 2/2
Went to processing 2/3
Verified ID 2/22
Still on processing :(File and accepted 2/4 Fed and MN
DDD 2/20 Fed
2/4-2/21 MN Processing
2/21-24 Preparing refund
2/24 Refund sent@wade123 That really sucks, do they ever give you a reason why it takes so long?
@HLJ Well, I go through this every year. I always get my State in late March or Mid April. Every single year I do this, except last year. Last year was 4 days from filing to refund sent. And that is only because I had $186 collections for an unpaid parking ticket. So I do not expect anything for at least another month. Thats my deal every single year.
@wade123 totally agree about our refund tracker being better than WMR. Since it updates every day and at different times too. Bummer you have no changes :(
I am still on processing. No letters and no messages on refund tracker. The one good thing about our refund tracker vs. WMR is it actually updates any day of the week, and it will tell you a letter has been sent. Even if it tells you a day or 2 late at least it does not leave you completely blinded like WMR. And if I did get a letter then I would be surprised, since I already had a full audit in 2017.
Got a letter yesterday. Overnight WMR updated to tell me they sent a letter on 2-19. Would have been nice to see that message on 2-19 but at least it updated
Received a letter to verify…not sure how long afterwards I should see my refund but here’s to hope:)
Man, my boyfriend filed a week or 2 after me….got his refund on feb 14th. Me? Still nothing!
I filed Monday 2/17 and my state return is being prepared.
Received an ID verify notice today, hopefully this speeds up the process!
I received a letter asking me to verify my identity the site didn’t tell me I was receiving a letter hopefully it gets my money to me now
Stilllllll on processing. Update overnight maybe? Feels like I’ve been saying that everyday for weeks
Went to sent!
Wishing the processing gets quicker for my fellow Minnesotans.
Refund was sent and moved to sent this morning – how long before it posts to the TurboTax card?
@wade123
I’m in the same boat. This really blows.Still at processing since 1/27. Definitely another year of 60 days. Well, I guess I will see you all in April.
Moved to preparing this am.. filed 2/7….
@cash H & R Block kept your state tax to pay for there fees instead of taking it out of the federal?

Normally it says that if you don’t get the letter after Xx days to give them a call.
Literally it was the quickest verification in my entire life.

@diana 😋😋😋
@Danny
Fajitas!!!@tiredofwaiting IRS notices & Tax info do not get forwarded. Address change will be your last bet.
@Tiredofwaiting They cant discuss any letters. They are actually telling the truth that they need the code on the letter to open it. It is like a PDF file with a password. Only a supervisor can open it. In 2017 that happened to me. I was out of the country and it took a month before a supervisor would even take the case. Best bet is to have someone run to your mailbox and take a picture of the letter to send you.
So I check my status and it says they mailed out a letter 2/14. Only problem is I am out of state until May and it has been taking weeks for my mail to forward. I tried calling to see what they wanted and they said they can’t say anything. Is it most likely a letter to verify my identity? I did change banks this year. Are there other letters they “can’t discuss” ? Thanks 1
The good news is that I finallygotmy refund…bad news is… it’sbeen offset
@HLJ yea fingers crossed. I filed 27 accepted same day. This is the longest I had to wait
@Ashley depends on what bank you have. Usually your only on preparing status for 24-48 and you’ll get a ddd. If your preparing then I would be checking your bank for that to clear@Danny that’s good news for you I guess at least there’s no issue
How long once you go into preparing refund does it hit your account?
@hlj I did a few minutes ago. No hold or anything. Still processing. The rep said there is no time frame like irs. Everybody tax refund is different so I’ll wait still SAT for an update
Has anyone with no letter and stuck on processing called the state and asked why no movement?
@kallie congrats!
I finally went to preparing after verifying my identity.
States been accepted then still processing. Any updates from anybody else…I did TT/SBTPG
