KianaEfiled 1/23
Processing up until today, now I’m at preparing refund. Anyone know how long this step takes?? This is for my state, my federal is still processing.
Jeus@hlj did it take a longtime for them to work on it cause it was amended because they put me as a non resident and I didn’t get that credit
HLJ@ Sam it updates overnight, in the morning, and at night. So any time really.
SamDoes MN only update over night or does it update during the day?
KallieSame here guys. Just checked and still processing. I think for PATHERS we will see an update by Saturday with a DDD for the 21st.
Same information with dependents and employer. The difference is just I made more money and different bank.
The struggle is real.
TiffI really do not get what the hold up is. MN should do better. My Federal will arrive before my state and that has never happened before.
VEarly filed accepted 1/23/2020- went to processing on 1/27/2020- nothing
i just contacted them Tuesday and filed for hardship, sent the documentation Tuesday night and no word from the advocate. Seems everything is slow.
TonyGood Grief. How long can it possibly take to process a single W2? Been processing since the 28th and could REALLY use the money right now.
MikeI’m meant to say processing not preparing…
JamieUgh mine is still processing filed 1/30 got accepted 1/30 wth is the hold up every year I’ve had my state back before 2/15 same return as last year different bank
MikeMy went to preparing 2/3
Still preparing 2/12
I hope it don’t take much longer my Federal will begin processing on 2/15 because of child tax credit
KallieThank you. Still nothing here!
HLJ@Kallie Happy Birthday!
KallieSo over this! Was hoping to get a nice birthday present with an update of “preparing refund” not still processing!
HLJFiled 2/2
Went to processing 2/7
Still on processing 2/12
I’m starting to wonder if I’m not going to get audited or made a mistake somewhere. Doesn’t make sense to see no progress at all :(
KfostRefund sent 2/7 so where the heck is it ?!!!! Hmmmm anyone else sent 2/7still waiting ?
Tiff@Kallie Same….I wish I would have stuck to my old checking account…this is not okay
Christina H.Filed & accepted 1/27

Refund sent 2/12
KallieMakes me wonder if I should’ve just used the other account lol!
ChrisFiled: 2/5
Processing: 2/6 to 2/10
Preparing: 2/11
HLJI also used a new bank account this year. I wonder if that’s the cause of the delay?
Stacy@ Kallie, I also changed my checking account this year so maybe they see that and have to verify information
StacyAccepted 1/27, been in processing ever sense. I’ve never had this long of a wait. Usually the refund is sent the next week. Not sure what the hold up is this year.
LizAccepted 1/28
Still processing!
Most years I have my state within a couple weeks. Huge bummer that’s not the case this year.
KallieSame for me. Only thing that changed was my checking account!
TiffI have been processing since 02/01 no movement and the only thing I changed was my checking account…this is sad cuz they are quick to take your money but slow at returning it :(
HLJ@Jesus Yes I’ve filed an amended return in the past. Waited until after I got my original returns back though, so they wouldn’t be held up. It was a fairly easy process, and I ended up getting a small bonus refund out of it.
SamAccepted 2/3 and STILL in processing as of a minute ago. C’mon state hurry up! I already have to wait until basically March to get my federal return because of EIC and Child tax credit.
KallieFiled 1/27
Processing since 1/28… no longer amused.
HLJFiled 2/2

Still on processing as of 12:45pm 2/11

NengFinally went to step 4 a minute ago after being on step 3 since Friday.
SheriStill at preparing refund since Friday, I wish they could hurry up! My fingers are crossed for all of us waiting for our refunds to be sent!
DebraHow long do give the state to pros your refund before u can call them anybody know thanks
processing since 1/28. looks like another year of a 2-3 month wait.
Tony SI’m wishing mine would go to step 3 and 4. Unfortunately it looks like this is gonna be a long wait for me
Tiffany@jade same here preparing since Friday and nothing yet hope soon
jadeAnyone that has been on preparing refund since Friday seen any change? I checked a few minutes ago and nothing. I’ve never had it stuck on that for this long
HLJFingers crossed we all see movement tonight! Just checked a couple minutes ago and I’m still on processing. Thanks to all of those who’ve got their money but still hang out here to calm us down and give info :)
NoblemamaTiffany-
I posted down below but mine went from preparing to refund sent in one day…a thurs to a fri. Since yours updated on a friday… id say check it tonight or in the morning and it should say refund sent.
TimI’m hoping we update tonight I’m in the same boat as you
TiffanyWent to preparing refund on Friday 2/7 how long should it take after that to go to refund sent
KallieJust an update. As of 1 minute of ago , I am still on processing. Filed 1/27 accepted 1/28.
HLJ@Sheri thanks, makes me feel better about being at processing for so long!
Sheri@HLJ I filed on 1.24.2020 and processing on 1.20.2020, I just moved to preparing refund on 2.8.2020.
HLJHi all!
Filled 2/2
Switched to processing around 9pm 2/3
No change since. Anyone else stuck for seemingly no reason?
Sheri@ noblemama thank you for that information that is wonderful news.
Noblemama@sheri
Mine took overnight (business days) to update to refund sent.
2/6 preparing
2/7 sent
Sheri@oatmeal – I believe it does update over the weekend, mine changed from processing to preparing on Saturday (unless it updated Friday night)..
DebraI am not sure some have got back in a week to 2months in years past
SheriDoes anyone know on average how long it takes to go from preparing refund to refund sent?
KeyssssAny one recieve a deposit yet ? Still waiting over here
OatmealDoes it update on weekends?
MelissaBeen on Processing since the 29th. Checked a couple hours ago and it was still on step 2. Just checked and finally Preparing Refund.
Noblemama@kallie @wade
Yea i may have gotten it fast this year and previous years but last year it took 2 months. So its just completely hit or miss no matter your situation, when u file, etc. They just do what they want when they want. Like a toddler haha
Tiffanyfiled 1/27
Accepted 1/30
Processing 1/31
Preparing refund 2/7
checked around 5pm Still on processing but just check 20 mins ago and it’s on step 3 preparing refund@Kallie Yeah, I dont think there is any system in place of consistency. It is just hit or miss, and for most of us it is miss more times than not. Of course there will always be the one or 2 that chime in, “oh i get it fast every year”. Good for them. For most of us, it is a long wait and never consistent year after year.
Kallie@wade123 I believe last year it was well over a month but the year prior I believe within 7 days. This year I changed from a daily to a weekly as my cycle date changed from a 04 to a 05. I guess we’ll just play the waiting game.
@Kallie I am not really sure why. There will always be a few that get it fast, a few that get it slow based on big and small but out the millions of taxpayers that dont come to this site I wonder what their experience is. All I know is my experience. I have gone back and checked. in 2012, I got it 7 days after filing. 2013 I got it 6 days after filing, 2014 I got it 9 days after filing, 2015 I got it 6 days after filing. 2016 I got 3 months after filing because i added school credits and I was audited, but still got the full refund. 2017 I got it 83 days after filing, 2018 I got it 68 days after filing, 2019 i got it 4 days, and thats because I had a collections from the state I am sure of, and now, i filed 1/13. accepted 1/27, went to processing 1/28 and am stuck there ever since. It seems ever since the Fed started their PATH MN has also shifted from an average 1 week to 1-2 months. At least when I look back on my history, the long years coincide with the passing of PATH at least for me. And clearly they do NOT process them on a first come first serve no matter what they say.
Kallie@noblemomma
I think I had this issue last year but my refund was as big as it was this year🤷🏽♀️ I did earn more – I would have to compare last years return. I am jelly though you got it 5 days. Nothing changed in my dependents or employers. Same information other than earnings.
Noblemama@Kallie
I also filed the eic and the actc, no offsets or collections owed. I got back the exact refund I was due.
Noblemama@Kallie
I have a large refund every year and this year its even larger and it only took 5 days to go from filing to refund sent so I’m not sure that thats the issue.
ChauntelWhy didn’t I update this morning?! Ugh….this is insane! I usually receive my Mn so quickly!
@Kallie. Yes that is the case. I get the working family credit so it is big every year. And every year they take extra time to review it because of that credit. Also every year they feel free to adjust it a little all on their own. It usually comes in less than what was filed. They end up sending a letter saying it was adjusted because the working family credit was miscalculated by my tax software. But that is BS. The tax software bases it on the forms Minnesota provides to them. No wonder we have a surplus every year!!! The only time I got my refund from MNDOR fast was last year. 4 days, that’s right 4 days!!! from filing to refund sent. And that was only because I had a small parking ticket that my little town sent to collections. So its always better to have a small collections by the state and boom!!! you process real fast so they can get theirs. Otherwise we wait 1-3 months
KallieJust a quick question. For all those who has their returned process did you get a big return? I am scheduled to receive a big refund and just seeing if that was the case for the lack of movement 🤪 filed 1/27 accepted 1/28 still in step 2!
Noblemama@curtis
Some people took 2-3 days before it moved to step 4. But if it helps…I checked mine at 7am and it was at step 3 and an hour later it moved to step 4. So you could check it throughout the day. Either way it takes a couple days to reach your bank after your refund status moves to Sent.
Noblemama@curtis
Mine moved from step 3 to step 4 overnight.
Curtis R JourdainHow long will my refund be in step 3?? Its day 2 now
MelissaBeen on Step 2 since the 28th. 😩
TonyI feel the pain. I’m still on step 2 and so far as I know, nothing is wrong with my return. I think the system just hates me….
NoblemamaJust checked again since its 8am now and it DID move to sent refund! Fingers crossed I get it tomorrow and dont have to wait til Monday!
