Nope
Any updates for anyone ?
You’re welcome : ) Glad I could help a bit
Wow so much info I love it !!! I will have to screeen shot your suggestions ! Thank you so much for being to kind !
Ft Myers is a great place! Has all the fun shops, ice cream stores, restaurants, close to sanibel island (20 min) which is an entire island created from seashells and the #1 place in the world for shell picking as its the only island that faces a certain direction so all the shells land there. Its accessible by car and the cutest island for little shops. Lovers key beach is down the road from ft myers beach which is a protected sanctuary that u can trolley or walk to the beach from the parking lot. They have kayaking, paddle boarding in the sanctuary as well for a close up to small alligators or manatees if its the right time of year.
Ft myers is great and less expensive. Its close to lovers key beach and sanctuary which you can trolley or walk to the beach and paddle board/kayak the sanctuary part as well, sanibel island which is accessible by car and is the #1 place in the world for shelling as the island is made from shells! Ft myers beach has all the shops you can imagine, restaurants, ice cream parlors etc. Our kids looooved ft myers area. Siesta key beach is about an hour north of ft myers, best beach ever! Also in sarasota (20min north of siesta key) is the Mote Marine Aquarium. Extremely recommended for the kids! It was just amazing!
Im not sure if they do but I believe they may have one near ft myers when I was first going there 3 yrs ago. Near ft myers theres also a place called everglade wonder gardens..kinda small but u can hand feed flamingos and throw food to some alligators. Kids liked it a lot. Its not huge but its in bonita springs. The mote marine aquarium in sarasota is a MUST for the kids! Ive been to many large aquariums in the US and the Mote was by far my favorite. Even has a giant squid preserved!
Omg thank you for the huge list ! I haven’t even started looking at places yet because this whole tax thing is stressful! I’m going to have to put these down on a list of things to do with the kiddos! He really likes dinosaurs, do you know if they have a Dino place ?
Ft myers is best, close to sanibel island (by car), lovers key beach and sanctuary, Sarasota mote marine aquarium and siesta key beach. Definitely look those up! Our kids love it and we did too!
Or orlando if you’re looking for busch gardens, universal studios (awesome!), ripleys believe it or not, sea world and of course the overpriced disneyworld. I also highly suggest using airbnb as u can rent a house for cheaper than a hotel. I do it for every florida trip.
Honestly it will be our first time there ! Do you have any suggestions? My oldest is 4 years old !
We go down to southwest florida, like the Naples, Ft Myers area. Where do you plan on going?
Yea that definitely would be nice to be debt free! We took 4 of our kids to Florida last april and let just say thats the reason we’re going alone this april haha. It was fun but it was stressful too keeping track of them all.
Omg have fun in florida! I plan to take out the kiddos to Florida this summer too ! Im so excited for it ! I was hoping this tax came early enough to pay off all my debts so I’ll be debt free for the time being when going on vacation!
I hope so! But I filed and got approved on 2/15 so I might be a few more weeks. I guess its a good thing maybe bc I probably would’ve spent most of it by now if I had it weeks ago lol I have a trip to Florida booked for April so if I dont get it until then, then at least I’ll for sure have a lot of extra spending money instead of just a few hundred! Haha grass is always greener
Still no update … I hope next week is our week! I have a hunch it will be, since the people who filed end of January got there’s updatedt this week. Maybe it be like that for us next week !
Same. No update.
Still no change for me. Ugh come on!
@tina
Hi Tina, I hope everything is going fine with your cancer treatment and that your health is well! I am sorry that you and I and everyone else who filed hasn’t received there funds yet, I hope you can keep pushing through these tough times and stay healthy for the ones you love and the for those who loves you !Still nothing. So frustated! I should have waited to have my surgery and cancer treatment till I had the money. Granted I get short term disabilty but I am still waiting for that as well. All my savings have been spent on my cancer treatment and living as this is my second battle in less then 3 yrs. I just wish the state would let us all know what is going on..I have never waited more then 15 days.
Hi, just wanted to follow up for those still waiting. I’ve called 5 times and got the same answer that it takes time. Don’t hesitate to call them. I told them I need the assurance of a live person to see if there have been letters sent, etc. Earlier in this thread someone posted a link to an advocate office for the state of Minnesota and I called them as well to find out if there is a limit of time that we have to wait. They told me that there is no law that says they have to process these returns by a certain time but if you are having a hardship they can, one time only, process your taxes in an expedited manner but you have to show proof of that hardship which might be something similar to eviction or something like that. Just FYI
Mines still processing Feb 3 ugh…
I filed and was accepted in the early morning hours of Feb 9th. Still on processing. I pray I update soon and so does everyone else still waiting.
Congrats to those who moved from process to preparing refund ! I’m still in the process boat, I filed feb4 …
We filed on Jan 29th and ours JUST changed today, too, to preparing refund. Finally!
I filed my taxes they were accepted on January 30th, I got my federal on the 2/27/2019. My state finally changed over today 3/6/2019 to preparing refund. I’ve never had to wait this long for a state return. Thanks Mark Dayton.
Christine- you could try calling and verifying that they recieved it and at the same time, ask how long their verify process takes before refund approves. Typically for reviews they say 45 days to process.
I am still waiting and got a letter saying I am under review. They requested my North Dakota taxes. I live in North Dakota and work in Minnesota. Anyone have any idea how long it takes to process refund once yournin review? I sent the document back to them the day after I received the letter and still no update it’s been a week now.
Terra- I’ve seen others wait about 3-5 days before theirs moved to Sent from Preparing.
Terra- When did you file? I got my mn approved on 2/15 but still no update. Maybe they’re going in batches based on approval weeks?? Idk.
Looked this AM and said preparing refund, does anybody know how long it takes after that?
I never got a letter or anything so idk why they aren’t sending it
Accepted 1/28, recieved a letter verify identify on 2/14. Just moved to sent today (3/4)
I just did this year so wierd
Seems everyone that I’ve talked to who filed the first week of Feb are still waiting like the rest of us…
Anyone know when they update? Ugh it’s been over a month.
Another week and still no refund
So sorry Tina!!! Hoping your journey is as painless as possible. We, like you, are totally dependent on this refund to get by. I’ll pray yours comes soon and that your treatment goes smoothly and quickly!!
Tanya’s
Me either I always got my state within 7 to 14 days. Granted I am getting the biggest refund I ever have from the state but I am now a single working mom with two teens and claimed zero. I just want it to be done I’m out on disability for the next 6 weeks or more having cancer treatment and while I get paid I am waiting for the company to pay me. Ugh. The money would make me feel better.Tina I filed fed and state on the 29th. I got the fed a week ago but no change on state. Still pending. In the past 5 years my state never took longer than 12 days.
Tanya’s I used Turbo Tax, I got my Federal Monday, No updates for state guess I’ll wait the weekend out. Anyone know what time their system updates during the week?
Filed 2/4 still no update or letters
Did any of you use TurboTax to file? I’m wondering if I sent before things we’re truly finalized with MN and TurboTax. Still no letter or refund. In processing phase.
I received a letter today saying I’m under review. I had to send in my W-2’s. Filed the 1/22, accepted on the 1/29, got letter today 3/1. Anyone that has gotten this letter, did it take the 3 weeks? I sent in the information they wanted right away.
Still processing since 2/15. No update.
Still no update for me. Anyone get lucky with an update?
Still waiting still nothing in
I’m still waiting on my state refund, I filed Feb 3 and it was accepted. Got my federal back already, called yesterday they said no letters it’s still just processing sooo I wait.. Wish it would hurry up.
Tanya im still waiting too. I called last week and was told to just wait. I’m sick of waiting!!!
We filed our Minnesota taxes on 29th of January and it was accepted on 29th of January and we are still in the processing phase. Ugh. I check the site every night to look at the status and I called three times and as of today the gentleman said it still processing and there has been no letter sent. We got our federal taxes last week! I asked him when somebody can actually go look at it maybe it’s caught in the computer (LOL) and he said we never look you’ll just have to wait. Grrrr
@ cat 12am
When has the MN wmr been updating for everyone?
@Hakim M. This is so slow this year! I want to call but I’m sure they won’t tell me anything. I wish they would hurry up!
@Cat I filled and got accepted on Feb 5th. Still no letter nor refund. This is crazy MN
I filed and was accepted Jan 29th
Processing until yesterday then said preparing refund
I never received letter, how long will it take for money to be in account?It seems everyone who doesn’t get their refund in a week is getting a letter. Ugh.
Had to ID verify anyone else? Been three days so far how long did it take to see movement?
Filed – January 22nd
Accepted by MN – January 29th
Processing – January 29th to February 20th
Preparing – February 21st
Sent – February 26thAfter over a month, my refund is finally in the “sent” stage. I’m hoping tomorrow morning, I wake up and the money is in my account. They sent me a letter on February 12th and I received it February 20th. I responded to the letter immediately after opening it. For how little my refund is, it really should not have taken this long. Thankful I don’t live in Minnesota anymore and don’t have to deal with this BS for the third year in a row.
Still waiting. I filed on Feb 9th. I seen some that filed earlier and are still waiting. What is taking mn so long! Others in my family filed and had theirs back in a week! I called last week and they said no letters had been sent and my return looked fine it was just still being processed. I might call again tomorrow because this is ridiculous.
I got a letter yesterday saying my return is under review and I had to fax my w2 and pay stubs. I maybe it’s because I forgot a w2 for a job I worked for 2 weeks into January last year. They said to allow 3 weeks to finish processing and I usually get my state in3-5 days

Here’s the link for the MN taxpayer advocates! The phone numbers and a link to email them is on the right side. Hope you all get your refunds soon!!!
@Jessica1873
Who did you call and what is the email you used to reach the tax advocate? I never got a mail for anything and I too have a new born baby ? My tax is taking forever this will be going into the fourth week.
No update for state tax, got my irs tax last week was hoping both came at the same time
I have a date of my MN being sent today but there is NO money in my account. Nothing on the website saying it will be applied to anything. What time does the money usually hit your account?
Nothing yet either.
Still no update …. what’s taking so long mn !
I’m not sure who all said they were also waiting for their state, but I also am waiting. I filed and was accepted Jan 28th. There are not any offsets and as of today I have not received a letter. Hoping something changes soon as I have had my federal for over a week now.
I received my MN refund on my turbo card yesterday morning!
I received my federal refund today, but still no update about the state. I am still in process mode when checking the mn revenue page
Im talking about either your MN state refund or your Federal Refund.
Just curious if this is happening like last year…Anyone get their deposited refund while WMR says still processing?
@himesmn04
I hope so. Typically Ive always gotten my state in 3-5 days and its been 8 days so I was hoping it’d be in there today but so far I dont see it. Such a bummer, as one of my 6 kids’ birthdays is tomorrow so I was hoping to have some extra money : (@noblemama
I did get one a few years ago due to a similar situation. You should get it as soon as their system is back up as long as they have gotten the funds alreadySo ironically, I should have gotten my state refund today but my banks entire system crashed and they cant see nor release any deposits until it gets fixed. So I cant even see or know if I have it or not! How frustrating to actually have a hold up that ISNT due to the state or IRS haha. Anyone know or ever recieved a tax refund, state or federal, on a Saturday?
@Cat I filed three weeks ago as well !
