Anyone know what two days the site updates? I’ve been in processing status since Monday.
Anyone update today since it is the 1st ? Nothing here ..
Living / working in NJ sucks . It never fails . Every year . I got my NY taxes back already and I’m not a resident smh
Mines says processing as well. Does anybody know when the system update? They say it update twice a week. But what two day? Please get back.
Mine also updated on Saturday to proccessing Nothing since then
When did you file KEM ? Mine started showing processing on Saturday. Let’s hope we get a date this Thursday latest since it’s the 1st. Nj loves taking money but hates giving it back when it’s due lol
Mine finally shopwed as processing today.. hoping that means they’ll relase it this week..
Any one have any updates on the nj state refund tracker besides the processing message ? Filed 1/29/18
I haven’t received my state (NJ) refund since 2011. This past August I sent in extra paperwork electronically proving my identity for EITC, and received a letter in early October asking for hard copies of the same docs I already submitted. Immediately sent them certified mail on their requested docs. The site now has bars that say the data has been entered, and it is now processing. I can only check for 2015-2016 on there so I have no idea about 2011-2014. Does anyone know how long it takes to receive your refund after you answer and send in their request for more information? The site says 8 weeks but we all know NJ takes their sweet old time. I feel like I’m never going to receive this money.
This is absolutely ridiculous!! I filed on 2/2 and still nothing from state, no update no letters nothing! I know several people who filed way after me , with the same credits , & they received theirs already!! Anyone have any clue what’s going on with NJ state?!?
I e-filed my state return on January 23, 2017. It sat as “being processed” until I received a notice to send in a hard copy with supporting documentation on March 10. I have the same basic return every year for the last 8 years. I claim a child but not any extra credits. The only difference this year was that my income was severely reduced as I was out of work injured for 9 months. Why did they chose to hold my return for 5 weeks and then ask for more information? Federal had no issues and I received my refund from them in February.
Guess what, I filed in February, got a notice for more information in June, gave them the information (I have filed the same return for 20 years!!!) and still no refund!! Am I building the Governor’s Manson, have I now donated to it?? Where is my interest and penalties back?? I don’t feel it’s fair for me to give them my hard earned money all year and them not return my honest return!!
Get Real NJ before everyone moves out!!!
@LL
Was just curious if you got your refund yet? As of today I am still waiting. Still no letter or updates! Getting really pissed off! It’s officially been 12 weeks!@Nikki Lee Thanks for the update. I called customer service yet again yesterday. They told me same thing…….still processing, no letters or known issues noted. The CS rep said to be patient and should be completed soon. I had called them again because another person that i know of had filed on 2/24 and received their refund yesterday. I think you are right…..the early filers are getting screwed for sure.
@LL
And…… Still nothing for me as well!! Filed 2/3 accepted 2/4 ! No letters stating any issues! More & more it’s looking like the earlier ppl to file are the ones that are screwed! It’s so aggravating! I totally appreciate they’re supposedly trying to protect us from fraud but those of us that have filed the same dependents & same credits yr after yr after yr, you would think really shouldn’t have any issues.
I read where it says if your return must be processed manually it can take 12 or more weeks to receive a refund! I seriously hope this is not the case!Still nothing for me. accepted on 1/31. This is absolutely ridiculous. All i had was a W2. no deductions. simple and straight forward.
My state return was accepted 2/26 and I just got a DDD of 3/30!!!!
And still waiting. Called for information again. This time I was told that me return has not even been looked at yet (return was accepted on 31 Jan 2017). Supposedly they started processing/looking at paperwork starting on March 1st, rather than sending out refunds for those returns that had already been processed.
My understanding was that the state would start reviewing/processing returns as they were received back in January, but would just take longer to process do to the enhancement of security. Hence, the delay of refunds starting on March 1st.
When i questioned the customer service person i spoke with, she outright said they have done nothing with any returns, not even reviewed them, until March 1st. No prep work, nothing. I don’t know what to believe anymore. I give up. How could they justify waiting until March 1st to start looking at returns? makes no sense. its a different story everytime i call.
@LL You and me both!! Thanks for the response. At least I’m not alone! Started worrying something was wrong! Just so tired of waiting! Seems like they’re just taking their sweet time & not returning in any kind of order!
Guess we’ll just have to wait it out!
Good luck to you!@Nikkilee Same situation here. filed and accepted on 1/31. No updates on the website. Still says processing. I called the state last week and they gave me same update…..still processing. I have a very simple, straight forward return. She was able to tell me that no letters were sent out to me for additional info, so there are no problems that she knew of. I also asked what days the system gets updated and she pretty much was clueless and ended up telling me its random days each week and that processing is done in no particular order. I was concerned when I saw people who had filed after me already received their refunds. this is absolutely ridiculous. I really need those funds.
Filed at the end of January. My info for the last week says “We have approved your refund as of 3/6/17, if you don’t receive your refund by 4/5/17 check back”. I do direct deposit. Everyone else in my family who filed after I did got their refund at the beginning of the week.
Though the NJ website never gave me a date , we received the refund on 3/7.
It was a surprise but a welcome one
Just received my DD at 2:25 am. Finally done with this very stressfull tax season goodluck everyone. See you all next year.
DDD of 3/9!!
No idea when they update but to me it would make sense that they would update tonight after finishing the second half of the week since the first update was Wednesday night. Let’s hope at least bc I don’t want to wait for these ddds anymore lol unnecessary stress it’s causing in everyone’s life
I filed 1/23 and all it says is they have received and are processing my state refund. No DDD yet. My brother who filed a week after me has a DDD of 3/7 🙁. Does anyone know what days they update?
I filed 1/23. I have EITC and ACTC Nj DDD 3/7
I get the EIC too though and I also claim my son so I’m not sure if that has something to do with it. I’m also a 1099 employee not w2
@jerseygirl my boyfriend got a ddd today me and him filed literally at the same time and he got the EITC
To those who got a DDD.
Did any of you claimed the EIC and/or the ACTC?
@JERSEY I filed 1/27 and was accepted on 1/28. No update for me!
I filed feb 2, 2017 and in mid Feb got the “it’s been received and is being processed.” message on NJ refund status website.
I know part of my refund will pay off a small balance I owed NJ from last year but I was hoping to get a date today. I’ve become addicted to checking that darn page. So far no DDD for us
Does anyone know when (what days) they update it the site ?
Am i the only one who didn’t get a ddd ;(
Finally! An update. DDD 3/7
Update as of 3/2/2017 today at 12:00 AM got a ddd of 03/07/17 good luck everyone seems there starting to send the nj refunds.
Nothing here yet filed and accepted on 1/22/17 still waiting getting the received and being processed! Hopefully tomorrow something changes good luck to everyone
Has ANYBODY in New Jersey been able to get anything other than “your return is being processed” general message from New Jersey OR been able to use the refund hotline to actually get specific information? I “get it” that they are not going to be issuing refunds until March 1 or thereafter but for Geez Louise’s sake, they don’t tell you ANYTHING and it has been 6 weeks now…..Anybody????Anybody at all??? Thanks!
seems like no days so far @simone..
been checking every day. I hope soon!On which days does the NJ refund site update? I wonder if we will al least get a DDD soon.
Update:
They now recognize my 2016 tax return!!!Hope it won’t be much longer
Yeah, I’m just reading that now. That’s a bummer. Really was expecting my refund in the middle of feb. Guess I’m gonna have to wait.
Not sure you saw this but if you go the home page of New Jersey Division of Taxation, it says that they won’t begin releasing our refunds until March 1. Ughhhhh
Waiting for refund status website to recognize my refund. Accepted on 1/20
In my experience. New jersey takes there sweet time issuing refunds. No matter how early you file.
got a ddd for 3/1 . FINALLY :D
I have a.ddd for 3-1-16 for my nj state. Its going on the netspend card. Wondering if it will be there early or on that date? Anyone knows?
Nothing for me. Filed/accepted 1/19
But my fiancé filed/accepted 2/10 and got a DDD for 2/23 and got her DD 2/19How long does it take to gt ur new Jersey state back.. After u send them more info they asked for?
Filed 1/21 accepted by NJ 1/22.. My 2015 status only started showing processing on the NJ state refund tracker about a week and a half ago and before that it would only pull up the year befores information. No updates since then still only shows that it’s processing. Up to see an update soon does anyone know of any delays? And has anyone at all gotten a Nj ddd yet?
I haven’t received anything yet and it seem like it hasn’t been updated since February 12th. Is there a delay with nj taxes.
I have a DDD for 2/23….Filed on 1/15…accepted 1/19…updated yesterday to show DDD.
not yet :(
Wondering if anyone else that filed NJ state around Feb 19th received their NJ refund yet. I Filed TurboTax 2/19 said NJ accepted 2/21 NJ refund inquiry system still says processing
Filed my Fiancés 2/10 accepted same day. DDD 2/23 DD 2/19. I haven’t even been approved yet filed 1/19 accepted 1/21
Has anyone gotten their state refund from NJ??
Filed and Accepted 1/28 with TT
Checked NJ today and it finally pulled up my information says received and being processed.
Federal Return 1 bar No transcripts I moved it won’t accept my new address.
If I get my state before Fed that is crazy cause every Jersey person knows they take forever!
@Zeck
Filed 1/29 with TT
Accepted 1/30I have tried online and with the automated system, and nothing as of yet. The automated system after i enter my info,directs me to 2014 taxes. i have a feeling that means they have not started to process yet.
impatiently waiting..
Filled via TT on 2/6 8:23 PM and Accepted 2/7 9:33 PM, I’m trying to check my refund status but without success.
I don’t know if they are slower than the IRS, but, they don’t show any information yet.
Best regards,
Z
I filed my NJ return on March 8, 2016
They accepted it like 8 days later. and about 2 weeks ago it said on their website “We have recieved your refund but have not yet approved it, we are currently processing your return which can take 5 weeks bla bla bla. Something along those lines .., but its now April 6 2016 , and it still just says processing not yet approved , why is it taking soooo long ? Does anyone know when N.J updates their site? Does anyone happen to know what days or times N.J sends Direct Deposits? Thanks for any input, i just dont know what’s going on this year….,Wow so 1 person actually received nj refund a day or 2 sooner than the ddd they posted? Bet you had net spend right?
Just got a DDD of 3/1/2016. Waited 4 weeks. It took 2 weeks just to even register that they received it. Once I receive it, that will make 21 days exactly after receiving federal.
ALWAYS SOMETHING WITH THE STATE OF NJ….
Still no refund information here either. ‘Accepted’ by NJ per Tax Act on January 21st. Nothing is updated on the NJ status site and nothing is updated at the phone number. Received my Federal refund last Thursday (2/5).
Yea mine is still saying NO INFORMATION FOUND! Last Year it took about 15 days so it SEEMS like the earliest for a NJ refund will be around Feb 14th-18th
the page says ‘info not found ‘for me … last year i got mine the first week of March
@ljenk1216, NJ started processing on Feb. 1? How long does nj take to process refunds?
I was wondering the same thing until I called the 800#. Both the site and phone info are still referencing the 2013 tax year. I thought I misheard when prompted to enter the dollar amount for my 2013 return. Yes, 2013. I went back and found the 2013 amount, called again and sure enough there was my information. And because I’m hardheaded I figured I’d check the site and use the 2013 amount… yep.
New jersey did not begin processing until feb 1st.
I was accepted on Jan 21st and the system STILL has no information! Anyone else having this issue or are you able to see when you are getting your refund?
Filed my NJ Income tax in March Received a letter requiring a repeat of the information that was sent in march by my accountant . Sent this information ( o h yes we had a dead line to sent that as the 30th of the month) . I have looked on the web site and of course we still are not approved . Called the number 609 292 6400.
and got the message not to inquire for 90 days after the additional paperwork was sent in. There was nothing wrong with our return !!! they never addressed it for 3 months and now we are waiting another 90 days for information!!!!!!!!!I filed my state tax in nj in February and it’s now July 23rd and I haven’t received my return as yet. Whenever I do on online inquiry I get that stupid stale message that says it’s received but not yet approved. In all my years of filing taxes this is my first time in this predicament. Yet still the state can send my dad a mail bothering him to pay his money for what he owes the state. Get off my dad’s back and send me my money. This is a joke. The state can’t pay out but is quick to collect. Yes, please don’t ask my dad for any payment when u owe me mine. Shame on you NJ. I guess I will be receiving last year and this year together.
This is really bad. I have ALWAYS owed in state and federal taxes. I filed this year for several years based off of a letter Taxation sent to me. I am owed money. I personally went down to the Taxation Division in May of 2015 and as of right now July 2015. There is nothing. Whenever you owe they are really quick with sending out the letter. But apparently not with paying it out and that in itself is a huge problem. Not good NJ…Not good…
I filed electronically both my federal and state were accepted on Jan 26. Received my federal within a week. NJ still no refund. From Jan 26 till Feb 27 online refund status said no record on file. But yet I have email that says it was accepted . On Feb 27 it updated to that my refund was being processed. It has stayed on that since. As of today March 18 it still says the same thing. My son filed 2 weeks after me and has gotten both back already. I haven’t gotten anything in the mail requesting info. from me. I emailed them and they cant give me any info. I was pretty abrupt in the email. You go onto the online inquiry and they say that electronically filed emails are processed with in 3 weeks. I have tried and tried to call but they say due to high volume calls will not be answered thank you and disconnects. Its been 8 weeks this is bull.
I filed my nj taxes in February and I still havent received my refund. I called a month ago and was told my information would be expedited for review. It now June 10th and the rep. tells me it will take an additional 45 days for review. I told her did our fine governor need to review it for approval. UNREAL. Asked to talk to supervisor and got the run around. Folks call 609-292-6400 and demand immediate action towards your return.
Accepted via turbotax on Jan30…recieved my federal in first week of Feb…mid Feb my status on the nj portal finally went from ‘no record found’ to ‘still processing your refund’…it has stayed stuck on this ‘processing’ status ever since. The inquiry phone number is ALWAYS unable to accept calls due to heavy call volume, and the automated phone system also just says ‘still processing’. I’ve never seen a better example of government inefficiency in my life.
Can’t call, website terrible, no recourse but to just wait. This is a terrible state and I can’t wait to move to PA.
How do you think Christie is gonna pay for his presidential run, Hun? He’s not gonna use his money…
