So I went back to stage 1 yesterday and now I’m at stage 3 today. I mailed my return so I’m waiting on the check but hopefully it comes next week sometime. Anybody ever got a state refund check in the mail?
-
I just went to stage 2 today, I mailed in my return. Does anyone know how long it takes to go to stage 3/4 or how long it’ll be before I receive my refund?
-
NC Refund hit bank account this afternoon. I never thought NC refund would hit before federal.
-
Crystal–my refund hit my account today.
-
Anyone get their money yet, that updated to a stage 4 friday🤔
-
Just reached Stage 4 (it hasn’t hit my account yet).
-
Mine was released today just waiting for it.
-
It hit my serve card today at 5.

@kyo I’ve never gotten my nc state 1st. This will be the first time ever. Just to let u know mine went into stage 3 early Friday morning and changed today to refund sent or stage 4. So about 3 days in between those stages (business days)
Nice, did you get your money when it went to stage 4?
-
Filed 1/27
Accepted 2/11
Checked the NC refund site and it says i moved to stage 4 to allow 10 days for the refund to show up in my account. This is the first year I will have ever received my state before federal. -

I was on stage 1 until Saturday it changed to stage 2 and today it changed to stage 3. I guess I’m getting NC before my federal for once…
-
Mine says issued to bank account. Come on serve and post it to my card!
-
Now mine is showing as Stage 3.
-
Does anyone know how long it takes to receive NC state refund after you switch to stage 3?
-
I been at stage 2 for over a week and went back to stage one on 3/01/21…saying it can take up to 60 days….what is going on???
-
Mine also went from 2 to 1 for about 2 days then to stage 3 for about 3 days I got my refund on the 24th from NC. Still waiting on federal.
-
I filed Federal and State on 2/4; Federal accepted–2/13; State accepted–2/16. I got my Federal refund on 2/22 (though my WMR status never updated). My State status went from nothing to Stage 2 on 2/26. Tonight it’s showing Stage 1.
-
My nc state said stage 1 3 days later stage 2 3 days later back at stage 1 with a 60 day review next day back at stage 2 can anybody explain this
-
@NCWorks How long did it take from Stage 2 to Stage 3?
-
Mine changed to stage 2 3 days ago and I checked it just now and I am back at stage 1. Says if I don’t receive it in 60 days, call the 1800 number. Anybody know why it’d go back instead of forward?
-
-
Mine went Stage 2 today. Accepted 2/13
-
@NCWorks
Lucky you! NC is usually extremely slow. As of this morning I’m on Stage 2!
-
NC is moving fast this year I’m already on Stage 3!
-
Just checked for the first time since the pandemic. It now says that the refund check has changed.
-
So yesterday went to stage 3 June 2nd. Filed on March 20th accepted the 23rd. The site was down all weekend but when I was able to check it Monday June 1st I was stage 2 and then Tuesday refund sent to bank. No money as of yet but I’m guessing it will happen tonight around 5 or tomorrow. Good luck all
-
filed 109 days ago or 15 weeks and 4 days ago and still on stage 1. This is unacceptable.
-
Filed March 9th and it’s still on stage 1. Everyone is off or something?

Still on stage 1
I am a patient person but…..
It’s getting ridiculous 🤷🏻♀️
I get we have covid 19. My return was filed electronically. They can return it electronically. -
Idk, they’re holding it for 90 days……I couldn’t understand what she said was the reason.
-
Last time I check I was on stage 2 on Jan 27 still waiting for stage 3 for refund check to be mail now it the end of March!
-
I was told mine was being held for 90 days. What’s up with that?
-
@charliemae I also got a letter from NCDOR the day right after my refund posts into my bank account requesting more information. It really got me questioning though about the timing of the mail. I also tried to search up the tax auditor name and did not find anyone with the same name on ncdor website. Thinking about calling them to make sure it’s authentic. Especially during this time when everything is slow.
-
Filed 1/29/20
Stage 1 still as of today, 3/26.
Then again the virus is probably slowing everything down but still…
-
request for more information letter. really, in these times, really? my refund was so very small and so very needed, now in these uncertain times, i’m being asked for three years of information (didn’t even get a refund before), really? so very frustrating – in these times in particular.
-
still in stage 1 on website, not processed on mobile website. letter coming today from NCDOR, not sure what it is – no dd and no movement. will update after mail is received.

@ErinM — lol, I guess we will find out why once we get our notice in the mail. Got our DD today, it was reduced by about $167. I am racking my brain trying to think why but can come up with nothing. We have owed every year for the past few years and it seems NC still wants more lol. Oh well.

Just woke up to the state tax money in my bank. Went to Stage 3 on Friday 28th. So it was 3 to 4 days in between going to Stage 3 and receiving the deposit into my bank.
Best of luck to all of you. -
Stage 1 on Feb 18. Still no movement
-
Jesse – We had the same thing. My husband apparently owed a college $50ish. We got our refund same day it updated to that message on the site.
-
Stage 3 friday morning, just received deposit at 5pm
-
Has anyone gotten the message that your refund amount has changed and they will mail a letter? We filed 2/1, accepted 2/6 and NCDOR (finally) updated over the weekend with that message. Our return was super simple – two incomes and we only have one child and the return math added up. What could possibly be wrong??
-
Stage 3 – Refund issued on Friday 2-28.
Still no deposit as of today, Monday 3-2.
Anyone know the amount of days from Stage 3 until money actually deposited in bank. -
Still no movement. Went to Stage 1 Feb 18. Should I call?

I moved to refund issued today! will let you know when I have the money
-
Morning, Leslie!
My kids were ecstatic to go out since I have been unemployed. Stage 2 is coming soon! No worries. At least you have fed to carry you over! :) -
Hey @Erin :) Haha! Glad you enjoyed a steak dinner the other night! Thanks to us getting our fed, we went out to eat the other night as well. It was great going to a restaurant we normally can’t afford to go to. Lol. Anyhow, I’m still on stage 1 :( I thought I would’ve moved to stage 2 at this point, *sigh* Getting a bit annoyed, hopefully it won’t be much longer.
Glad to read you’ll still be around on here Erin :) -
Brent- we filed around the same time and back SECU and got ours Wednesday for federal… I hate to hear yours hasn’t showed up…
State is still pending on Stage 1…
Sigh, at least we got fed.. Now just waiting on state.. -
anyone that banks with secu still not receiving anything?
filed 1/23 accepted 1/27
approved 2/22 ddd 2/26federal and sbtpg said my refund was sent to my bank

Leslie – Had my steak dinner last night. Finally got federal this morning. Starting my new job today! It’s a good day today.
Even though my tax season is done, I will still be coming in here to check on y’all. ^_^
-
Mine says sent to bank for 3 days now…
-
Lol @Erin! Hopefully I will skip the other stages like you did. That would be great!!! Happy for you hon that you got your funds :) I got my Fed earlier today, so hopefully I’ll get the state one soon!
-
Leslie – Maybe you’ll skip all the stages like I did. Lol
-
I was stage 3 on Monday it’s now Wednesday and haven’t seen anything
-
Update: still on stage 1, *sigh* I really hope I’ll get to stage 2 by the end of the week!
@Erin, congrats! You got your money already?! That’s great!
Wishing the rest of you luck :) It seems most of you have gotten your refunds already, or will soon! -
I hope so too, Montae! :)
-
ErinM thanks hopefully mines will show up tomorrow morning 🤞🤞
-
Montae – USAA.

Updated to letter of adjustment 2/26.Paid 2/26.
Wth?
-
My refund was issued yesterday at 8 am eastern. When should I recieve it? Thanks guys
-
Welp. I’m done moving. They are sending out a letter of adjustment (no offsets). Just one thing after another with Turbo Tax this year. Guess I am done with them. Still waiting on TT’s bank to send out federal refund.
-
We filed 1/25
Accepted 1/30
Moved to stage 1 on 1/18
As of today, still stuck on stage 1…Fed refund received today..
I am wondering if I need to call…
Last two years, our case was moved to bankruptcy department, due to filing bankruptcy 14 years prior. I had to speak to a case worker and both were very sweet, never understood why our case seemed to be pulled to their desks and did a quick review and sent it back out to cycle and pay.. -
Thanks for the congrats @Erin, Erica & Sarah! I’m so happy it’s finally moving along. It seems to me once you’re at stage 1, movement to stage 2 doesn’t take too long. I hope you finally get to stage 2 soon Erin! And yes, Sarah, I agree :) It’s nice to know we aren’t alone in this for sure!
Hope we all get our money real soon!!! *crosses fingers* -

I looked at others stage movements. They are around 18 to 20 days from accepted to first stage. Mine was 18 days. So let’s see how long it is for stage 2 … I’m gonna say 3-6 days.
*Stage 2 -2/25/20. It was 3 days between stage 1 & 2 -
Just updated to stage 3…..hope everyone is seeing movement…..I’ll keep you posted!
-
So I am assuming updates are made around 1pm? Is that accurate???

Hey guys! I went to stage 3 and it says it was issued to my bank as of one hour ago. I was only on stage 2 since friday so I hope everyone sees movement today!

@Leslie YAY for stage 1! glad to see everyone starting to get their money too! i may just be weird, but i find it nice to not have to go through this alone. -
Leslie- Woo! You’ll have your money before me. Lol
Daniel – I have been stuck on 1 since the 19th.
-
I have been on Stage 1 since the 18th. Still no movement. Has anyone been on Stage 1 this long?
-
Congrats, @Leslie!!
-
Update: I received my deposit this morning (2/25)! So, it’s 2-4 days between stages (if everything is alright).
-
**Ugh! Correction. I meant in my post that I’m now waiting to get to Stage 2, not 1, lol
Oh btw @Erin, hope you finally move to stage 2 soon! -
Finally moved to stage 1 yesterday afternoon, yay!!! Lol. Now, I’ll try to patiently wait to get to Stage 1. I’m just so relieved I finally made it to stage 1!!
Congrats to those of you who received your refunds already, or are getting close :) -
My deposit posted right at 12 am… Navy Federal. It never showed up as pending but the date of the transaction is 02/24/20
-
We got our fed we had ddd for 2/27 and got it around 7pm tonight but the state hasnt hit so who knows when it will. It was sent on friday @ 1 pm but still hasnt posted. Our federal hit 4 days early we had jh amex serve card.
-
Mine just deposited into my bank at 10pm.
-
It’s coming guys . Mine just posted to my Netspend account.
-
A bank in VA called ABNB but they’re usually slow but they deposit checks as soon as they receive them
-
Yea Netspend still not deposited yet. Anyone else’s deposited if so what bank?
-
If Net spend has not deposited yet from issue on Friday I probably have a bit of a wait with my SECU.
-
@Q, what bank.
-
Money just hit my account
-
@HappyNc thanks for the reply. Yeah mine neither im kind of stumped if its the 3 day assumption were going off of i would have thought it would have been in there by now. I dont know how to check for an exact date for state to deposit it just says refund issued and could take 10 days but i called Jackson huitt and the guy said it should be on there but the gurl the next day said it could be the 1st of march. So who knows.
-
No I thought it would show up today on my Netspend card but idk what’s taking so long.
-
@Happync have u gotten yours yet? Mine also updated to stage 3 around 1 Friday but havnt recieved it yet?
-
No deposit here either
-
No deposit yet for me either.
-
How long after stage 2, did it take to update to stage 3
I thin it was three days for me.
-
Still haven’t updated to 2 yet. Been stuck here since the 19th. Wondering if me not filing state last year would cause an issue (they owe me $20). At least federal will be hitting sometime this week.
-
If anyone has received their direct deposit please post the number of days it took to arrive from the day it was issued! ;)
-
No deposit in SECU here either today. Issued Friday and somewhere in between.
-
No deposit as of this morning to my SECU account. Once I receive the deposit, I will update here.
-
@Erica, thank you. I hope it goes in tomo.
-
Took mine three days updated to stage 3 on Friday at 1pm but no money yet I use Netspend so it should be there tomorrow
-
How long after stage 2, did it take to update to stage 3
-
@Mark Not yet. I bank with SECU. I’m hoping to see it by 8am Monday morning.
-
Anyone that went to stage 3 Friday received money yet?
-
Still haven’t moved to stage 1, *sigh* This is getting really ridiculous at this point. Planning to have hubby call the state tomorrow to see what’s the hold up.
-
I updated to stage 2 yesterday. But today am back to the first step. Any idea what that is about anyone?
-
I updated to stage 2 yesterday. Today it says I’m back to not processed. Wth does that mean -. –
-
Erin…oh no! Don’t worry, its gonna update for you real soon!
-
I moved to Stage 1 on Tuesday, Feb 18th. Still no movement. Hopefully movement by next week.
-
Shiney – I am still at stage 1. :/
-
Moved to stage 2 today. I think my every three day theory just may be correct!!
-
Been on stage 3 a day now says sent to bank but no money!! Who knows guess it will be there within the 10 days!
-
Moved to 3rd step Friday, February 22nd
-
Hey Erin, lol. I guess that’s true! Thanks hon. I’m trying to keep positive that I’ll finally get to stage 1 soon! I’ll keep you guys posted :) Anyway, it’s great many of you are moving along, congrats again!
-
Stage 1 2/22/20
Filed 2/3/20 accepted 2/4
I looked at others stage movements. They are around 18 to 20 days from accepted to first stage. Mine was 18 days. So let’s see how long it is for stage 2 … I’m gonna say 3-6 days. -
Went to Stage 3 today sometime before 2 P.M. states refund was issued to my Bank and to call for deposit well I didn’t have time as I was working and it did not go into my bank. Totally confused by this because it says also it could take up to 10 days??? It is a automatic transaction…but not an automatic transaction!
Anyway glad they said they sent it to my Bank but I will not get an answer from them until Monday.
-
Oh, Leslie. :(
Think of it this way… You’ll get yours and more than likely we will have spent ours. You’ll be on top. ^_^ -
Becky
None of us have our money yet, I think it’s because they changed it late in the day versus the normal 3am change so maybe available later or tomorrow not sure just happy it’s sent -
Anyone know once stage 3 refund issued, until It shows in bank.
-
Anyone have any idea on how long once stage 3 refund issued, until it shows up in bank.
-
Hi Sarah! Congrats on moving to stage 1, finally! Woohoo! And congrats to all of you who moved to stage 2 and 3. Me, I still haven’t even moved to stage 1…I’m so over it at this point, *sigh* I think it’s the ones who filed in January that are moving along. I filed 2/4, got accepted 2/5. Looks like I still have to wait a bit :**(
-
I was updated to Stage 3 today!! It was mid-day, so I’m confused as to when or what time status’ are updated. But, good luck to everyone! I’ll still be around b/c my battle just started, as far as my federal return. Ugh! 😩
-
Mine went to stage 3 around 1pm today and it’s not on my Netspend card I think it will show up later
-
I believe it was Tuesday. I’m just concerned if I’m stage 3 why the refund isn’t in my account. I’m scared they took it for some reason. I don’t trust the department of revenue.
-
I’m guess I just went to stage 3 around 1pm because it’s saying my refund has been sent to the bank account provided
-
Becky when did you get to stage 2?
-
@ Renee did you go to stage 3 and receive your refund in your account?
-
Hi. So I went to stage 3 over night. I checked my bank account and the refund hasn’t posted yet?? I thought in previous years it would post the night it goes to stage 3. Anyone else have this or the ones that are at stage 3 did you get your refund the day it went to stage 3???

I would like to join

@Leslie – any luck today!? -
Filed 1/27 / Accepted 1/31
Finally moved to Stage 1 this morning. I think the delay is due to the inexplicably late acceptance (last year my return was filed / accepted on 2/18 and reached Stage 1 on 3/5).
-
I am at stage 2 . I’ve never followed my state taxes. Once you hit stage 2 was the normal time frame for stage 3? I hit stage 2 either Monday or Tuesday.
I have no idea, I do not remember this from last year I think I e-filed or mailed it in this time I used TurboTax.
-
Oh forgot to say it update yesterday to level 2 and has not updated since and says I could wait 3 weeks to receive it…DOH
-

-
I am at level 2 on the refund they are working to issue my refund which I do not really get if it is approved but anyway….
-
Thanks Erin! I really hope so :( It gets more annoying and discouraging each time I check, ugh. Lol. Sarah, I’m sorry hon :( I hope we both finally get to stage 1 soon!! Shineygirl, you may be onto something. That makes sense. Thank you for your good thoughts as well! I’m crossing my fingers for everyone too!
-
Shiney – That’s the math I figured, too. :)
-
Just going by what I am seeing..looks like updates are happening in 3 day cycles…First batch was on Feb. 15 for stage 1…updated to stage 2 on Feb.18…..I myself got stage 1 yesterday and think will hit stage 2 on Saturday….I think those of you still waiting to hit stage 1 will hit maybe on Saturday or Sunday…I guess time will tell of my theory is correct…Fingers crossed for everyone!
-
ErinM
Thank you.
NC used to be a lot faster. I’d get it before federal. Now its at least a month or longer DDD -
still nothing, so far, maybe by later today.
@Leslie i’m right there with you, this is also driving me bonkers! -
LEH – It looks to be daily.
-
I think just a few more days, Leslie!

Does anyone know how often NC updates? Are you daily and weekly like fed is?

Thanks so much Erin & Erica! I really hope I finally move to stage 1 soon. This wait is just driving me bonkers, lol. Sarah, I hope you finally have some movement soon too :) Have a good day everyone!
-
Can anyone chime in on this? Every year my wife and I file a joint return. Every year it’s accepted, and tracking the status shows “Your return is being processed”. Then it always goes to “We can not provide a status update with the information provided”. It has happened every single year we have filed since moving to NC in 2010. We always get our small refund, never have issues other than not being able to track the status via the website.
Anyone else have this happen?
-
@erinm, nothing yet, but hoping soon. mine was accepted 1/31, so maybe tomorrow?
-
My fingers are crossed, Leslie! It’s only Wednesday. ^_^
-
Congrats, @ErinM!! Finally got some action! @Leslie, it’s coming soon. My sister was accepted the same day as me and she’s still waiting on stage 1. It’s coming soon.
-
Update: Just went on the site again to check.
Still no movement to stage 1, ugh!!! :**( -
Hey ErinM! Woohoo, congrats on finally getting to stage 1, yay! Last I checked yesterday, 2/18, still haven’t moved to stage 1 yet :( I tried going on the website just now to check again but it’s down for maintenance. Hopefully I’ll get some good news when it’s back up! I’ll keep you posted :)
-
Accepted 1/30.
Stage 1 2/19.Woo! Leslie? Sarah?
-
Soon, Leslie. Soon.
-
Thanks for the updates everyone! It’s great to see some of you guys get some movement! Congrats!! I just hope me, and others who haven’t, get some movement soon too. I’m getting so frustrated at this point, wondering when I’ll finally move to stage 1 :( *sigh*
-
At stage 2, so I’m guess all of us Stage 2s should receive our refunds around the same day which should be by the end of the week they usually do deposits on Thursday/Fridays but I think once the before the 27th groups get done they’re going to do you other guys group
-
Last year I had a $20 refund, but I didn’t file it. TT wanted $40. Ha!
And, Erica, you’re not rubbing it in! I appreciate you and the others updating. Gives me something to read and a glimmer of hope. <3 -
glad to see people moving from stage 1 to stage 2 so quickly… hopefully i will move to stage 1 soon, i’m right there with you, @ErinM
-
@ErinM, I’m so sorry! I don’t mean to rub it in. I’m happy b/c I don’t owe! Last year was the first year that I received state back since 2010. But, I’m sending positive vibes your way and hoping that you get an update very soon!
-
. . . Okay, enough of that, y’all. Still sitting here with nothing. :*(
Happy for you guys, but jealous. Very jealous. X)
-
Update: Moved to Stage 2 on 2/18.
“Your return is in Stage 2. We are working to issue your refund. Please allow up to 3 weeks to receive your refund.“
-
Finally updated to stage 1. Mom is still on stage 1 also.
-
Update: Stage 2 as of 12-18 at 01:20am
-
Thanks, Q! I didn’t want to be obsessive for no reason. ^_^
-
ErinM
I believe it updates daily because in the past I would post on here and some ppl stages would change within 4 days Apart
-
I’m going to ask again because I think it was buried:
Is NC a weekly update or daily?
-
I think that it may be helpful if we post the exact messages received as we move between stages.
With that being said, I’m on Stage 1 and here’s what I have: “Your return is in Stage 1. If it has been more than 60 days since you filed your return, please call 1-877-252-3052. To reach an agent, DO NOT select 1 for refunds. Instead, select other for all other inquiries, then select individual income tax.“
-
I thought so, Q. Thank you! :)
-
ErinM
Yes
Accepted Jan 24 -
Hit Stage 1 on 02/15. Its weird because I mailed my 2018 taxes in on 01/24/2020, with the extension paperwork and I received a check in the mail on Friday 02/14, yet I just hit Step 1 for my e-filed 2019 taxes….CRAZY…
-
When was your return accepted, Q? Before the 29th?
-
Just hit stage1 2/15
-
Haha, it’s all good Erin :) I knew you were. I think you’re right. Hopefully they will get to ours, and others, this week and we’ll move to stage 1 finally! *crossing fingers*
-
I was just picking, Leslie. :)
It looks like they are doing batches of days. Too early for math, but maybe in the next few updates we’ll move up. ^_^ -
I filed NC 1/21 and was accepted 1/24. Just made stage 1 2/15.
How much longer should I expect to wait for DD on refund?
-
Lol, Erin. Sorry! I just noticed some people saying they filed in Jan and they moved to stage 1. Sorry you haven’t yet :( That really sucks, especially since you filed way before me. Hope we both get to stage 1 soon!
-
Oh, Leslie… I submitted 1/29. Accepted 1/30. Still waiting. Lol
-
So it seems those who filed and we’re accepted in late Jan got to stage 1. Lucky, lol. *sigh* I filed 2/4, accepted by 2/5. Still waiting for stage one. This is ridiculous. Why is this state so damn slow?!! Many other states have issued out refunds already. *smh* Damn NC!
-
Filed 1/27
Updated 2/15 to Stage 1 -
UPDATE: I finally moved to stage one (Processing) as of 2/15. I will update again with step two.
My info: Accepted on 1/23
Step 1: 2/15 -
How often do they update? Are they more of a weekly than a daily?
-
My mom is currently at stage 1. She was accepted 1/23. I haven’t begun to process. I was accepted 1/27.
-
The quickest I have ever gotten my nc refund was when I owed money outta it. Lol
-
Filed on 01/16/20…accepted on 01/27/20. Still hasn’t began processing.
-
Correction: I previously stated that my return was accepted on 1/27…just checked my text messages/emails and mine was accepted on 1/23. It’s been 19 days, not counting the 23rd. Still no movement as of 2/11. Smh.
-
so if it helps, last year it took like 24 days to move to step 1 for me. so at this rate, this year, i’m expecting like the 24th. hopefully earlier.
-
NC is slow.. Last year i filed and was accepted 1/27, DD was on March 3rd.. i think that’s the new norm for NC. I filed this year on 2/2/20! & was accepted, so I’m not looking for DD until second week in March
-
Still waiting… accepted 1/30. I expected at least moving onto “processing” by now. :/
-
NC is broke. Every year I wait months and months for state refund.
Eventually I give up and just get surprised when there is extra $ in account.
-
Mine was accepted on 1/27. Been waiting for movement since that day. I’m hoping to see an update by next week.
-
My state was accepted 3 weeks ago and it still has not started Processing
-
We got our acceptance by NC 4 days later.. I never have had state take so long to accept..
-
filed – jan 30
accepted – jan 31last year took about 36 days from filing to money in my bank, so lets see this year.
-
North Carolina didn’t use to take this long several years ago. Now I never get it till way after I get my federal. Last year it took at least a month :/
-
Ughs. I was hoping to get that sooner to help carry us through. Thanks for the reply, @Brokencgirl. I appreciate it.
-
@ErinM nc takes forever! I normally get my refund in March
-
This is our first year NC actually owes us. What is the typical turn around time (filed with TT)?
-
Filed 1/27, Accepted same day. Showing that it hasn’t been processed yet.
-
My 1/27 filing finally showed as accepted this morning. Same here, Ras–last year, my H&R Block e-filed Fed and State returns were accepted the same day.
-
I filed on 1/25. We just got our NC state acceptance 5 mins ago (1/30).. Seriously, the longest it has ever taken to be accepted..
PS. We used H&R Block too.. We used them last year to and it didn’t take this long.. 🙄
-
I filed on 1/25. We just got our NC state acceptance 5 mins ago (1/30).. Seriously, the longest it has ever taken to be accepted..
-
I filed electronically on 1/27 using H&R Block’s software. If it doesn’t show as accepted by tomorrow (1/31) morning, I’m going to contact their customer support.
-
That’s odd…perhaps it depends on the prep software/company you used. I filed both mine and my brothers on 1/27 and we were both accepted around 3:30 – 4 AM on 1/28.
-
Filed 1/27; not yet accepted.
-
We filed 1/25 and state has yet to even accept them. First year we haven’t seen accept the tax forms within 24 hours. I know they didn’t open until the 27th but here it is the 29th and nothing.. Anyone else have theirs not even accepted?
-
Let the wait begin, NC is the slowest State for refunds. Filed federal and state 1/21/2020, received federal today (the 29th) don’t expect state until the end of February or March.
-
Mailed state and fed same time Feb 17th federal came about 3 weeks, now its Aug 26 still in phase 1
-
Refund hit my bank this morning.
Filed 1/30 Accepted 1/31
Stage 1 2/26
I stopped checking for a while but in April it was still on Stage 1.Good luck to everyone still waiting. Now I just have to wait for my federal…🙄
-
Mine was accepted 1/31 also and I’m STILL on stage one.
-
I was accepted 1/31 so that has been the longest BS wait ever for a state return.
-
I checked today and it says:
Your refund has been issued to the bank account provided on your return and should be processed within 10 days. Please contact your bank for a record of the deposit.Still nothing in the bank and I don’t know how long it’s said that since I gave up lol.
-
How long does it take to get check mail been on stage 3 since Tuesday
-
Filed 3-10 …accepted 3-11.
Got my federal 3-22State-still stage 1 today on 5-22

Filled Feb 16, accepted Feb 17. Today it went to stage 2
-
Still fuking waiting.
-
Accepted 2/7
Stage 1 2/28Still no progress. How many months is this supposed to take?
-
System still shows I’m in stage 1 (science March 27), called today and was informed that a portion of my refund was offset by a university that I attended and the remaining would be direct deposited in7-10 business days. I was previously being told it want offset EVEN when I asked SPECIFICALLY if that was the reason for the delay! Still think the system is flawed! Will update when I actual receive refund or letter notifying of offset or status changes in system.
-
Update:
Finally stage II after almost 75 days on stage 1!!!!
Hopefully my money won’ take another 70 days to be in my bank account!!! -
I’m still in stage 1.
-
Filed on 1/28.
Accepted on 1/29.Still waiting.
I’ve called several times and they say my refund has been approved but online it still shows that it’s in Stage 1. I’ve even had to send in copies of my w2’s and my federal return!
I’m guessing they will have to send it at least by May 30th or they will start to owe me interest. I hope they haven’t just lost my information or something!
-
UPDATE!!
filed February 4
Stage 1 February 28
Stage 2 April 30
In my bank account 5/7 -
Mine went stage 3 Friday. Said deposit sent to bank. I bank with SECU. How long does that part take?
-
Filed on 1/28.
Accepted on 1/29.No refund yet.
For the past month, representatives have told me my refund is approved but they don’t know when I will get it. Online it still says I’m in Stage 1.
I believe they have to give us our refunds by May 30th or interest will start to accrue. If I don’t have mine by then, I guess I will have to get a Tax Advocate :(
-
At this point calling the system a joke is an understatement
As stated before I called on Monday April 29th as that was the day the 8 weeks were up and my file was sent up for review
I called yesterday to see if there has been any movement since online im still at stage 1
The answer I got yesterday was that after reviewing you account notes it was hard to tell if the representative on Monday sent you file to review so I sent it up to review – worst case is that it has been sent twice
Please just be patient and hopefully you should get your refund soon
-
Filed Electronically and my return was accepted by NCDOR on Feb 8th. Stayed on Stage 1 until May 3rd. Have not received refund yet and have no idea how long it will take.
-
@Hodges I agree bc this is the first year I have not owed and they took forever!
Just like @Nicole stated, I did not call until I hit 8 weeks which is unacceptable bc if I waited 6-8 weeks to pay then they would garnish my wages!
-
I also know they seem not to want to do anything until you keep calling or staying on them they wasn’t even gonna do anything if i hadn’t call the day after my 8 weeks were up
-
Thanks for the input. I will just wait, but not patiently!! This has been an experience! 1st year not owing NC and this! #UNACCEPRABLE
-
@ Hodges
II know for a fact the 6-8 weeks does not start until you hit stage 1
-
Same to you! Keep you posted on my progress!
-
@Hodges
I filed 1/30 and have been processing since 2/26 and still nothing. I’ve called multiple times and they keep telling me nothing is wrong and to keep calling back at a later date.I really hope we get our refunds soon. This is ridiculous.
-
Was anyone else’s return accepted on March 27th and moved to processing on April 9th and is still being processed? I have called NCDOR and advised to wait until May 13th to reach out to them again. They were unable to tell me how often or when the system status updates and states that it varies. Sometimes when I log in it tells me that it hasn’t even begun processing!
Signed-VERY FRUSTRATED TAX FILER!
This is the first year I have been due a refund and not owed state any money and their NEW security measures have delayed it! -
My refund went to stage 2, “we are working on issuing your refund”. It says it may take up to 3 weeks.
How long did it take for everyone else?
-
Thank you Anessa i called this morning she stated i was in the last stage it was approved i should get it within a week
-
Nicole,
I called Wednesday and I just got an alert and my refund was deposited this morning. I’d def call again if you don’t have it by tomorrow. -
I will be call them Wednesday because she stated it takes 3 days to get a response if i don’t receive an answer by Thursday i will be contacting a tax advocate
-
Nicole,
I called last Wednesday and they told me the same and would take about a week to go to the next stage. Hopefully I don’t have to call back this week SMH
-
Still at stage 1 from February 27. Was sent up for review today
-
I just realized after browsing through NCDOR’s Facebook page that the “ enhanced identity protection” reason as to why refunds could be delayed, is the same reason they gave everyone last year but when proved by local news they “cannot discuss” these new measures in order to protect tax payers? Bahahaha. I don’t want to say I give up but they owe me over $500 so I don’t expect to see that anytime soon.
I’m still in stage 1 after 45 days not including weekends or holidays. So …. yeah. Hope everyone else has better luck.
-
UPDATE
Was told Friday 4-26 that i was at stage 2 and that I should have my refund by Monday 4-29 if not there to call.
I called – Still at Stage 1 told that should wait the 12 weeks and that not showing any issues
The rep said that they really shouldnt email the review team until after 12 weeks have passed but is honoring the notes in the file
Was told after that I should wait 2-3 weeks before I should call back if my refund hasnt arrived and definetly call back if I havent received by refund by 5-29-19.
As 5-29-2019 would be the 12 week mark as my refund refund has been in stage 1 since 2-28-19
NEVER have i seen a mess like this.
The rep did say that this year this is common for refunds to take longer than 8 weeks
-
Yes, I am money.
-
Literally, how many months does it take for them to give you you’re money back?
-
Aneesa. called today same as you. Moved to stage 1 on Feb 25. Told me it was being sent to the refund department for review and that there is no time table for a resolution. Could take as many as 15 days….. So filed on Feb 1, approved on Feb 1, Stage 1 on Feb 25, nothing since. No notes in file to say there is an issue. Today was 60 days since they do not count weekends.
Also, no interest until you are 45 days past April 15. You all know what they would do to us if we waited 60 weekdays after that April 15 to file. These people are jokes. Everyone you talk to tells you something different.

Congrats! Nope still stage 1. -

Accepted 1/29
Had to mail in W2’s and Federal Return on 3/1Called at the beginning of April to make sure they had received my paperwork. They said they did (thankfully) and that everything looked good to go and my refund had been approved.
Still waiting on my refund. I called yesterday and a representative said they had placed a hold on my account but since my refund had been approved, it should have been lifted. The rep said she lifted the hold and I should see my refund from 7-10 days from yesterday.
We shall see! Online it still says I’m in Stage 1.
-
I called this morning and asked rep why I have been in stage one since before 02/25 and she said “you’re right. Your refund should have moved to the next stage a long time ago. I am sending this to be reviewed and you should see movement in one week”. She still couldn’t tell me why I’ve been waiting for over 8 weeks when clearly the website says 15 days to move to the next stage AND there are so many of us here that seem to be in the same stage 1 boat smh
-
@kyo I have your same dates and mine went to stage 2 today. have you checked yours?
-
Called yesterday because return wasn’t even in a stage anymore. It was being processed since Feb 2nd, then yesterday it said it was just received and hasn’t begun processing. NCDOR told me to call Monday if it still hasn’t changed to request a review, even though they said there wasn’t anything wrong with it. WTF??
-
Still waiting on stage 1.
-
Mike let me know if you get yours we are on the exact same schedule
-
This department is a JOKE.
Filed on Feb 1. Accepted on Feb 1. Moved to stage 1 somewhere around March 1.
Called multiple times, told no issues, no notes on account.
Today they told me to call on Friday if I don’t have my refund because that is 60 days. If I don’t get it by then, then it will be sent to the audit department to process.
Is this just a ploy to delay issuing funds? I would think if there was an issue or an error, they would have contacted immediately. I’d be paying penalties if I waited 58 days after April 15th to file.
-
WOW….
Accepted 2-8-19
Stage 1 – 2-28-2019Called multiple times
Called yesterday and was told my refund was approved and Stage 2 and if funds arent in my account by 4-29-19 to call back
Online still says stage 1 – was told it just hadnt updated yet
Checked this morning online and still stage 1 – called again
Was told I am still processing (stage 1) and that their system couldnt see where I had been approved yet and couldnt tell me why i was told i was at stage 2
8 weeks will be on 4-29-19 – per her and that yes it has been more than 45 days and I should be seeing interest on my refund
These people have ZERO CLUE.
GOOD LUCK
-
How are you all getting a rep on the line? I got one over a month ago and now it’s not giving me the option to talk to a rep. I filed and accepted 01/28 and I’ve been in stage one for over 8 weeks which is unacceptable. I got my fed on 02/25 and I was already in stage one then && still on stage 1!
-
In doing some research to try and find out why my refund has been delayed. I found out that both the state and the IRS have 45 days to get you your money or they owe you interest. I spoke with a representative today who confirmed this. So to every one who is past their 45 days of waiting on a return make sure your state check is more then what you were initially told because they owe us that interest. If you did not receive any extra interest on your check then you need to contact NC secretary of state and ask where your interest is they owe you. Below is a clip from article I came across.
You will receive refund interest if the refund is not issued within 45 days from the date the original return was filed or the date the original return was due, whichever is later. Refund checks are written once a week. If you call our refund inquiry line and are informed that your check has not been written, please wait at least 7 days before calling back.
-
Filed 1/28
Accepted 1/29Still in Stage 1 (according to online) but when I call they say my refund has been approved. Trying to be patient, but jeesh…it’s been nearly 3 months! I’ve never had this happen before.
-
Still in stage 1 since 2/21. How long does it need to take?
-
Stage 1 since February 28… I’ve talked to several people regarding this and it’s been determined that your 6-8weeks doesn’t start until you hit stage 1 unfortunately and it could take longer thsn 6-8…they can do what they want when they owe you but when you owe them they wanna garnish your wages and bank account
-
And it’s crazy because my girlfriend got her state back a month after filing and I’ve seen some people on here get theirs relatively quickly.
What’s the determining factor here? I’ve filed years passed, I’m not a new resident, it’s not like I’m waiting on THOUSANDS of dollars, I guess they deploy a lottery system here in NC to decide who finally gets theirs. “Congraaaaaaatulations! You’ve just won the money you worked a 1/3 of everyday of your life for!”
What.
A.
Win. -
Someone tried tellin me that they used a bunch of tax money to repair all the damage from those hurricanes last year and that returns are taking so long because they’re broke and are paying out as they get the money.
Idk how true that is but I wouldn’t put it passed NC and it’s 3 month refund wait.

-
Still stage 1 since 2/26.
-
Accepted my return on 1/29,
Still on Stage 1. When I call they say “Your refund has been approved but we don’t know when you’ll get it”.
Might have to hire a tax advocate :( So over this!!!
-
The NCDOR is a damn joke I was accepted in January and have been in stage 1 for more than 70 days waste of time and good air to call these bunch of idiots if it was just a few minutes dollars it would be different but this is the largest refund I’ve never got
-
“Your return is in Stage 1. If it has been more than 60 days since you filed your return, please call 1-877-252-3052…”
It’s been 78 days since I filed. They told me to wait until Monday, and that it’s not 60 days from when I filed like the message says, but 60 days from when it’s accepted. They need to update their shit…why do they even bother answering the phones? Complete waste of
tax-payer money. They need to refund ALL of my state income tax. Bastards. Sorry, I’m pissed. -
State accepted my return on 1/29.
Still in stage 1.
Every time I call the reps say, “Your refund has been approved but we don’t know when you’ll get it”.
That makes zero sense. I am livid. Might have to get a tax advocate on my side.
-
I been in stage 1 for almost a month….. its taking forever, and when you call they pretty much tell you to wait, they don’t wait for us when it comes to take our money every single paycheck!!!!!
-
Filed: Feb 2nd
April 15th: still has not moved from Stage 1.I have called NCDOR 3 times. They tell me the same thing the toll free number does. That nothing is wrong with my return and can take up to 8 weeks. It’s been well over 8 weeks??
-
Been in stage 1 since Feb 20 overtime I call they just say it’s waiting on a deposit date or it’s pending deposit always a damn lie I’m sooner these lying people at the ncdor still in stage 1 calling is a waste of time could really use the refund
-
I just checked and it says refund has been issued to my bank. Hopefully those in stage 2 has updated as well.
-
I find it funny that we have to explain and report our money to the government but they dont owe us any explanation for ours. God forbid if we don’t pay our taxes!
Meanwhile my first time filing taxes was 2016 and me filling last week was the first and only positive experience ive ever had.
2017 didnt work due to losing home and job to matthew
2018 I ended up owing which is why I waited so long to file
But most importantly i am currently still waiting for 2016 federal refund. I verified my identity back in 2017 still no one knows whats wrong. I been gave up -
Why do early filers get punished by the IRS and NCDOR? Such BS. Filed 1/30 for both and still waiting on both. I’m beyond pissed.
-
I’m glad people are getting to Stage 2, but I don’t understand at all why some of us are in limbo. Someone below made it to Stage 2 in 4 days. Doesn’t make any sense! Today makes 7 weeks of being on Stage 1. Over the phone they just say everything is fine…what a joke!

-
@madone. No I never went to stage 3. I got to stage two one day and the next day it said sent to your bank. After that it was in my bank account via direct deposit.
I never called to inquire. Just read all the feedback here so didn’t bother as it seemed useless to call yo inquire. I was on stage 1 since March 3 timeframe however. A long wait before stage 2 then it seemed to have fast tracked.
I was accepted with the state 1/31.
-
Still on stage 1 since 2/20.
-
Still on stage 1 since 2/26.

Thanks @Gabe. I appreciate you clarifying and trying to answer my question. I’ll check back with an update as soon as I get one the deposit in. I love this site. It’s so helpful!
-
@Madone
From what I’ve been reading here it takes up to a week for it to be sent to your bank. I’ve seen some people get it the next day and others a week later here. Hopefully it deposits Monday. -
Get this, I just checked again and it states that my refund was approved and sent to my bank, bit I checked my bank and nothing yet. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m so confused.
-
Mine was accepted on the 24th of January. I’m still in stage 1 when I call I might as well be talking to my 10 year old Boxer
-
@bk. So you never went to stage three (check sent)? It just showed up in your bank?
-
Congrats Bk.
I’m still waiting on stage 1 🎉

I got mine today. Went to stage 2 April 3 and direct deposit hit this am.
File and accepted 1/31

Just called today being it is right at 8 weeks today. They also stated by April 27th and electronically filed returns will now take up to 12 weeks. Not sure what is so magic about the April 27th date however it is very suspicious. No issues either with my return according to the rep I spoke with.

The state of NC is useless! Filed on Feb.1, not sure exact date moved to stage 1, but noticed on March 1, April 4 and still on stage 1. Called them and said there are no issues they just need more time, and the 8 weeks does not count weekends.
Also, the DOR website says they owe interest if it takes longer than 45 days from when you filed.
-
I got mine today 2 months later filed on jan 28
-
@Gabe
Wow, they’re such a joke. -
They are telling me i should have it by April 27 I’m still on stage 1 im over it
-
kyo – I’m back to 15 days as well. Still on stage 1. On the 22nd or 23rd they told me to call back the following Friday. I did that and then they told me to call back on another date! ROFL. They are so damn incompetent, it would be entertaining if it wasn’t our money they were holding hostage. I have a recording of the lady assuring me that they would escalate my case on the 26th if no movement. I’m tempted to call them and play it for them but deep down I know they would just tell me to f off, in a way that only the lovely ncdor knows how to.
-
I’m back to Stage 1, what kind of fuckery is this? Just so they can restart their 15 days? 😒
-
I spoke to them this morning. They are saying to wait until the 15th to see if I move. If not call them because I’m probably stuck in processing “for some reason” and they will need to go in and do something.
-
@ Gabe,
I will have to say the NCDOR is clearly playing games. Mine is going on 8 weeks.This is bullshitt! Everyone writing a check for money owed to them needs to issue a stop payment. Maybe they dont have enough money to fund all the unnecessary construction projects that are blocking the roadways, that’s why they are holding our refunds!
-
Just checked mines and it still states on stage 1. I hope this means both of you are getting a refund update soon. I have been on stage 1 since March 2
-
@ Gabe
Mine says the same :( -
Message is back to saying “Your return has not been processed. If you filed your return electronically and received an acknowledgement, your return has been received, but has not started processing”. I give up. I give a big middle finger to the NCDOR.
-
mine said it issued a check but my bank says no they have not got it HHHHHHMMMMMMMZZZZZZ what is going on

@Jack allen
Truth. -
North Carolina department of revenue are the biggest joke I’ve ever seen I e been in stage 1 now for going 6 weeks and calling them is a waste of time

Congrats Chris!
I’m still stage 1.

Yay Chris congratulations hopefully I’m next

That what mine says yesterday makes 8 weeks already for me

Mine says approved today……stage 2. Says I gotta wait up to 3 weeks.
-
I am still at stage 1 since March 2 and started processing February 28. I think we will see some movement very soon. Since the filing deadline is April 15 or 17.
-
How often do they update that where’s my refund site?
-
No, it’s been 59 days. Doubt I will……I’ve kinda gave up. I’ll just get it when I get it I guess

Did you call? -
Mine says if it’s been more than 60 days call tel:1-877-252-3052 now. I’m still in stage one

Man my return was accepted on 1/28 and its been 50+ days and there is zero change from stage 1. I am also direct deposit and I haven’t received a phone call or mail from NC regarding anything I might owe.
Is there a physical person we can talk to and not some automated bull crap?
-
I’m not going to bother calling them again. Already have 3 times and each time it’s something different.
-
Get this guys, if I type in my wife’s social it still says up to 15 days. Lol this is some wild !#&$ right here!
-
Now it just looks like they’re enjoying it. Changed from may take up to 15 days in Stage 1 to may take up to 45 days in Stage 1 after I spoke with them on phone.
This happen to anyone else?
-
yea I called and they gave me the same bs
-
Kyo – I called again today and was told again, by a different person that I needed to give it 8 weeks, and the 8 weeks would be up on Friday, the 29th. Maybe call them back to clarify?
-
Guess they are as clueless as the IRS.
-
Oh well guess everyone is being told DIFFERENT things so i guess I’ll get it when i get it
-
I called again and she told me the 8 weeks doesn’t start until they start PROCESSING your return not accepted. So they have until April 25th for mine until I need to call back.
-
Edith – 1-877-252-3052
Chris – I was told 8 weeks includes weekends. Think about it, if it did not, that would be over 10 weeks. After 45 days they owe us interest.
-
What number do i call to speak to a human
-
Does 8 weeks count weekend days or is it just business days?
-
I’m still on stage 1 since 2/26. Accepted 1/31. I called and got the wait 8 weeks crap.
-
Call them yesterday stated it’s 8 weeks from the day your return was accepted mine was February 5 they stated i should have a update by next week or call back I’m sick of call moved to stage one on February 28
-
Can tell I’m one of the last holdouts, the posts have essentially ceased from people who haven’t moved to Stage 2 or 3 except for a few of us.. I’ve been on Stage 1 a month now. Going to call them again tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll just get the 8 weeks mumbo jumbo again. Nothing special about return this year. It’s not even very much. Need to renew the registration on my car (unlike NC, I don’t have the privilege of paying them whenever I feel like it…Crooks).
-
I filled electronically through my accountant on 2/5. About 2/15 I went to stage 1, 2/26 stage 2, 3/8 I first saw the message the check had been mailed. 14 days later and no check.
Of course you kind of expect that with NC. The DOR are notoriously slow in issuing refunds and silly me forgot to move from a printed check to direct deposit this year.
Oh well, it may come sometime in the next 2 weeks.
-
I’ve been on stage 1 it seems like forever.
-
@ Chris yes it is
-
I’m having mine direct deposited.
Filed 1/30
Accepted 1/31
Stage 1 since 2/26 -
About the same here Nicole. Is yours being direct deposited?
-
Still on stage 1 since the 28th of February
-
How often do they update the website?
-
Has anyone received a direct deposit? Mine was accepted 1/25
-
I received my money in the bank today and it was sent today good job finally something going my way
Gabe- I believe it’s going from filed but last week my mother in-law said they’re done with all the back up so things should be moving along hopefully u get stage 2 this week if not I think something may be up
-
I would also like to add the nc refund inquiry may not give you accurate info the inquiry stated my check was mailed on 3/2 the date stamped on the envelope was 3/18
-
Stage 1 – 2/22
Still on Stage 1.
Does anyone know if the 8 weeks is from when it is accepted, or from when you enter Stage 1? -
Stage 1- 2/22
Stage 2- 3/15
Sent to bank- 3/20Finally moving along after a long stage 1 wait now to see if it’ll be in my account by Friday if not I’m cool wit Monday
-
Lc
Just wanted to update you mines coming in mail today just check usps informed delivery
-
Based upon the odd delays this year from the ncdor it appears they are trying to make the process overly complicated for tax payers to get their refunds. I have never seen a year with the delays and complexity like this before. I am pretty sure that our new governor that now has his hands in the pot after is first year in office is the root of the issues. That probably explains the complexity and delays. In working for a business years ago that had to deal with this governor, he was then attorney general, I can tell you it was a nightmare (stonewalling with overly complicated processes) and this is par for the course with him.
-
Sent in return on 1/28
Accepted on 1/29Just received a “Request for more information” from NCDOR. Have to send in my W2’s and my complete federal return. I have such a simple return with no deductions or anything! This is so strange.
We’ll see what happens!
-
I went from being on stage 1 for 12 days to it saying today that it hasn’t been processed. It no longer even says stage 1.
-
Called and was told it can take 6-8 weeks starting from February 27.
-
Lc
Same issue i called said check cut on 4th notting in mail yet
-
Still on stage 1 since 2/26.
-
Still on stage 1 since March 2 however I am just drawing my conclusion that a bill I owe took their money . Well at least some of the bill is paid . I will post if anything changes
-
Anyone who changed to the refund amount has changed. Did they take all your money? If not, was it approved and went to stage 2? This is ridiculous.
-
This year has been crazy! I had the 60 day message first then a few days ago it went to the 15 day processing message. Now I woke up this morning and it says this: Your refund amount has changed. You will receive a notice explaining our adjustment. Please allow 15 days for delivery. If you do not receive a notice within 15 days, contact the Department at 1-877-252-3052.
We don’t owe the state any money! This is crazy.
-
I finally hit stage 2 either Friday 15Mar or Sat 16Mar was on stage 1 since 22Feb let’s see how quic I move to stage 3 hopefully next week
-
I am incredibly frustrated. Online status said : refund mailed on 3/2 called ncdor on 3/12 because the refund hadn’t been received. She said the check wasn’t cut till 3/4. Its 3/16 status still reads refund mailed and still no check! Anyone else had an issue with a paper check or incorrect status of refund?
-
@ Carla I am here from NC and have been waiting for 35 days in counting…what’s your update?
-
I am still on Stage 1 as well. Called the number below in other comments and they said that there were no issues or holds. I filed and accepted on 01/25. Been in stage one for what seems like a long time now lol
-
Gabe- I had to call also I’ve been on stage 1 since Feb 22 and was told it could take up to 8 weeks so just give it a little more time because there’s nothing showing wrong on their end
-
Spoke to DOR on phone. They said there are no problems listed on my account. Filed 1/28, accepted 1/29, Stage 1 since 2/22. Asked why I am still in Stage 1 even though it’s been more than 15 days and was told “sometimes it takes longer to process than others.” If anyone is still in Stage 1 I suggest calling 1-877-252-3052 to make sure there are no issues/holds on your account. I didn’t have to wait on hold. NC DOR 1-877-252-3052 option 3 then follow the prompts.
-
Been on stage 1 since March 2
called yesterday and rep informed me my tax return for 2014 was not filed and I was to send in the tax return.

Moved to stage3 overnight on 3/8 funds available on 3/12.
-
How long does it take for the direct deposit to show in bank after being sent
-
My refund shows pending on our account as of 4:00 pm. Notified 3/9 that deposit had been sent to account.
-
This is rediculous my refund was sent to the bank Friday still no money and I have Netspend!!
-
Refund sent to bank Friday still hasn’t posted not even showing pending so frustrating 😡
-
This is what mine says
Your return is in Stage 1. If it has been more than 60 days since you filed your return, please call 1-877-252-3052. To reach an agent, DO NOT select 1 for refunds. Instead, select 5 for all other inquiries, then select 1 for individual income tax.
I filed 2/1. Went to stage 1 around 3/1
-
I’ve been on stage 1 for 13 days.
-
@Harley
So frustrating!
Waiting on DD.
Hopefully tomorrow!😞 -
@Deb-

-
Woke up Saturday 3/9 with website showing that I was in stage 3- refund sent to bank…
3/11…not in bank yet!! -
Your return is in Stage 1. Your tax return is currently being processed. It may take up to 15 days for your return to move to the next stage of processing.
-
Does anyone know if the wording is the same for everyone under stage 1? I can’t remember and mine says if it has been more than 60 days to call. I filed 2/1 accepted 2/5 hit stage 1 around 3/1. Thanks!
-

So I got my federal refund 2/27. 3/6 the state took garnished it. But I’m still on stage 1 of processing my state refund. What is going on? Ideas?
-
Updated to Stage 3 today (correction from previous post: moved to Stage 2 on 3/5.)
-
Took 3 weeks to move to stage 1. Then a week to move to stage 2. A few days more to move to stage 3. Said it was sent, I asked for a paper check on March 5th. Today is the 9th and still not here. I live about an hour from raleigh. Any ideas as to why it is taking so long?
-
@tommy
Hopefully, prayerfully, it will post ASAP.
I’m just trying to hang on. Can you please post when it hits your bank please -
Updated to refund sent to bank this morning.
-
As of 4:30AM, 3/9 says funds have been sent to bank. Not posted or pending on my account as of yet. Pleeeeez, post soon!!!
-
has anyone gotten their refund after being on stage 1 for at least 14 days?
-
Just for other people inquiring I filed 2/5/2019 and it didn’t move to stage 1 until 3/1/2019 but moved to stage 2 3/6/2019 , I guess it all depends on any issues . Hoping it will move to stage 3 as fast as it did to stage 2 just to be done with this.
Hope all is well with everyone
UPDATE
FUNDS SENT TO ACCOUNT 3/8 but not yet showing in my account , Monday?? -
Based off my experience and comparing to other people.. It follows the same/similar processing time:
Date accepted to Stage 1= 3 weeks
Stage 1 to Stage 2= 4 days
Stage 2 to funds sent to bank= 4 days
Funds in account= 4 daysI hope this helps!

-
@tommy
I have been on stage2 since Monday 3/4
I spoke with someone there this morning and was told it could be up to 8 weeks. Others have gotten there DD on the same day they move to stage 3. I’m waiting impatiently. Really need this to come through. -
When your nc state refund goes into stage 2 does that mean its done processing and just waiting on it to be sent to the bank? I’ve been on stage 2 since Wednesday.
-
What day of week does IRS mail refunds?
-
What day of week does NC mail refunds.

Kelly- I believe we’re in the same boat not sure how to contact customer service and get a actual person but it’s been 14 days on stage 1 and I haven’t received anything saying they’re taking anything from me

I’ve been at stage 2 since 3/4.
Updates at 3:30 AM
Still not moved to Stage 3.
5 days and still NO REFUND… -
I went to Stage 3 on 3/6 and had my money deposited in my account that night around 11:30 pm.
-
James – If your in stage 2 your refund amount has been approved. If there was a problem they would inform you of that during stage 1. Once they approve it on Stage 2 your fine. It is just a matter of them loading it to your card.
-
Ive been on stage 2 since 3/5 when would i update to stage 3? I do have a liberty netspend card if i went to stage 3 tomorrow when would i get my money?
-
Were anyone on stage 1 for at least the 15 days and still went to stage 2 .However did you still receive your refund?
-
@John Exactly! I’ve been there before and by the time I was updated to Stage 2, I had received a letter in the mail about owing money to the State. Plus, the message requested me to call in due to a change in my refund amount.
I am sure that you will see Stage 3 soon and money in the bank!
-
@Erica So Stage 2 essentially means “We are preparing to send you your refund” and any sort of collection by the IRS would likely be between 1 and 2?
Thanks for your advice!
-
@John Once they update for Stage 2, that’s usually when they will inform you of any kind of issue(s). B/c the return has been processed at that time. So, it seems to me that you’re good!
-
I have a question. I owe some back taxes to the IRS. Obviously my federal taxes get put towards that, and I have read that so will my state taxes. However, last year my state taxes got put into my back, and for this year I am currently at Stage 2. Would they have been already taken before being sent to Stage 2? Or would that happen between Stage 2 and Stage 3? I am assuming if I make it to Stage 3, it means they sent the payment to my bank.

@Deb Mine switched over to Stage 2 on 3/4, as well. I am sure that it will be updated tonight. It seems to take anywhere from 3-4 days to update between Stage 2 and Stage 3. We will probably see it DD by Wednesday of next week (3/13).
I’ll be sure to update here when it changes.

-
Q – you haven’t got a message saying there was an issue so no news is good news in this case. I hope your stage changes soon. It’s so frustrating. I check the site 2 or 3 times a day. I know they only update once every 24 hours. I just don’t know when that is.
-
Connie- yeah I plan to when I call now it doesn’t give me an option to speak to a rep so I’m guessing since it hasn’t been 15 days they want me to wait not sure what’s going on last year I got my money around this time
-
Gabe- T and no I filed single
-
Q – maybe you should call if you haven’t got to Stage 2 by Friday. I filled on
2/4 – Filed
2/27 – Stage 1
3/2 – Stage 2Still on stage 2 as of today. I hope to move into stage 3 this week. It seems like from me reading everyone else post that it takes about 3 to 4 days to get from stage 2 to 3.
-
Does anyone know how NC processes? Do they go by date filed, date accepted, alphabetical order? I see people that filed much later than myself getting their refund deposited already, is why I ask. Trying to make sense of that part.
Q – what’s the first letter of your last name? Did you file married-filing-jointly?
-
the money also hit my account today, so the final date process, for me, looked like:
filed 1/28
accepted – 1/29
stage 1 – 2/22
stage 2 – 2/26
advised funds sent to bank – 3/1
money in my account 3/5that makes it about 36 days compared to last year, which took 31, but i also filed a little later in the year last year. i hope everyone gets their money in a timely fashion. if no issues, i would allow at least a month to a month and a half before expecting to see anything. to those with delays… that sucks.

It will probably be in your account Tuesday morning , March 5th. It can take up to 2 business days according to my bank.

My refund was supposedly sent to my bank on Friday. Should I expect it in my bank on Tuesday, March 5th?
-
I filled on February 4th. I got my Federal tax refund on February 13th. Hope the state come through this week.
-
Connie when did you file your taxes?
-
I’m still on Stage 2. Is Friday the only days they do deposits? Has anyone got their cc state refund deposited on a day other than Friday?
-
ashley – i don’t remember for sure, but i was only on that stage for a few days.
ash – thats what i was thinking, i know they only send deposits 1 day a week
kayla – from past experience and other comments on here, it doesn’t look like it should have much impact on the timing of the process, just the amount of your refund.
-
When it says refund amount changed, and nothing else what does that even mean? I called and all they said it was an unpaid parking ticket for an expired meter. Does it effect the stages or update beyond that?
-
I updated to Stage 3 on Friday. Looking back at my deposits, I have always recieved it on a Tuesday after updating on a Friday.

My NC State refund went to stage 1 on 3/1 with the regular 15day message. 3/2 still stage 1 now saying that if been more than 6 weeks call. Has anyone else had that before?

@James T
Did you receive your refund in your account yet? I haven’t yet. Do you think it could come through this weekend? -
Yup! As of last night says my deposit has been sent please allow 10 days. Wow NC! Impressed this year lmao
-
Mine said it was sent to my bank account last night. I guess we shall see how long it takes. Luckily I still have almost all of my federal so it’ll be a nice little surprise when it comes lol
-
Also been stuck on stage 1 since the 22nd. Most of our federal was offset for a student loan, so we’re going through the “injured spouse” process to get that back, so wouldn’t surprise me to see something happen to state too.

Where’s my refund still states my amount has changed but I just checked and my refund is already pending in my bank account.

I moved to stage 3 this morning and received my deposit tonight.

@Peggy I haven’t received my refund yet. This year I went from stage 1 to my refund amount has changed. I called today and they told me some of my refund was taken for an old college debt. The remainder was approved for refund but not sure when it will be deposited yet.

Mine say my refund amount has been changed an i will receive a letter in 15 days to explain the adjustment do i still expect some of my money?

Mine says my refund amount has changed and i will get a letter in 15 days do i still get some of my money or does it mean they took it all?

We know NC is taking their sweet, sweeeet time!

Filed on January 28th. Accepted the same day. No movement since. It looks as if theres a trend of some update the next day or two? People here say theyre on stage 1 now. Hopefully. Last year NC sent the money in late March smh.

Yes NC is definitely slow. I filed on 2/7/19 and my federal will be deposited tomorrow 2/21/19. State hasnt started processing yet. Last year didn’t receive State until the end of March smh
-
WMR still says “being processed” for federal. And state hasn’t updated at all lol
-
Filed on 1/28/19, accepted on 1/29/19–hasn’t even begun processing yet. Come on, NC!!!
-
JB – I have SECU. The IRS said I would have on or after 1/28, and I got it 1/25.
For anyone that moves to step 1, can you provide your acceptance date? Trying to determine how much longer I will have to wait.
-
Just filed on Feb 10th so I don’t a refund from NC until sometime in March. They always seem to take forever.
-
Anyone with SECU know if they post federal on the DDD or do they post early?
-
Checked my NC return and it moved to stage 1 today finally says make take 15 days to approve refund.
-
Nope, nothing. Of course north carolina is one of the slowest, so aggravating.
-
My state refund has not even started processing yet. Has anyone been processed and approved yet?
-
Nothing yet. Good ol NC 🙄🙄
-
anybody see any movement yet?
-
It’s sad and comical at the same time that this thread gets ZERO attention until late Feb. – early March. North Carolinian’s already know it’s gonna be a while before there is any resemblance of movement.
With that being said, I hope everyone has a super SMOOTH tax season!
-
Has anyone who filed later (after extension), have an update on their refund status?
-
Well, here it is June 19th of 2018. Filed my state back in late January. Since February, mine has been stuck on stage 1. Why? Don’t know. When I called, they stated everything looks fine. So if everything looks fine, what’s the hold up? Of course, I get the generic answer. I hope they throw in some interest. They would if I was late.
-
Hi!
I filled my taxes by Feb. 6th, it is still in stage 1. I’ve called twice. A gentleman answered the first time and said it should move to stage 2 any time and I would receive my deposit in two weeks. That was three weeks ago. I called again and a lady did not even took the time to research and said it was in stage 1 that I should wait. I’m pissed already they are trying to fool me! It is more than 8 weeks already and 45 days. I guess I must be refunded with late fees right? Plus, is there anything else I should do? -
I just wanted to give a final update- finally got my refund!
accepted=1/28
started processing/stage 1- 2/23
Stage 2 (after calling)- 5/2 tuesday
refund sent to bank/stage 3- 5/4 friday
refund in my bank today 5/8- tuesdayhope this helps!
-
@Tim
I filed and was accepted January 29th 2018… Just went to stage 2 today. So much for 8 weeks!! I figure maybe I’ll get my return by Christmas at this point. -
I just checked mine, again. I called Wednesday and they told me it was approved and it was being requested to release funds. I should receive it by Monday. Just now, I checked again, and it said it has been sent to my bank. So, I may luck into it tomorrow, but maybe Monday as they said because it’s a weekend. If you’ve been told it’s been approved, hang in there. It’s slow progress, but at least it is progressing.
-
@Hannah. I suggest you call and ask as well. It seems to be the O my thing advancing people further in the refund process.
877-252-3052 -
@Sebastion
You will most likely have to call to get them to advance you to the next stage. Most people wait 8 weeks from the day they hit stage 1. They will put you on hold and most likely tell you when hey come back on the line that it’s been approved (unless you owe the state and they’ve modified the amount) and you should see it by a certain day. They say call back if it isn’t received by that date. Seems like they only submit the request to release funds after you call.
877-252-3052
That’s the number that connects you to an actual human if you hit the right button. I believe the first selection is 5. Good luck. -
I filed my state taxes about February 16th and I still haven’t gotten my refund on May 4th. Also, it says it’s still in Stage one. What could be going on here?
-
I filed on turbo tax on February 14 I haven’t received my state refund yet I be been on stage one for almost two months and it says up to 15 days to move to the next stage I got my Federal refund the 23 of February so I’m curious to see where’s it is . It’s been more than eight weeks
-
@misty,
I’m glad to hear you have heard some progress. I think I was told the same thing as you, just in different words. Once I thought about the rep telling me if I don’t have mine in 10 days to call back, I know it says it can take up to 10 days once approved. Also good to hear that Jacinda was told the same thing about “emailing someone”. Mine didn’t move to stage 2 the next day, but it finally does seem like there is movement from the state to finally start processing returns. Will keep y’all posted on if I do get mine within 10 days of them emailing someone.
-
So, yesterday marked 8 weeks of processing on stage 1. Today, we called in and the gentleman said that it had been approved, but no one ever submitted it to the next stage. You know, the pay out. So, many people are calling to find out it had been approved and the funds just hadn’t been released yet. I, for one, am shocked. Our refund should be in our acct by Monday. Let’s see. I will update you on Monday. (Sooner, if by miracle, they are released earlier)
It’s grievous at best that you have to call in after 8 weeks to get them to finalize that process. -
update-
accepted 1/28, finally went into stage 1 to be processed on 2/23. been in stage 1 ever since then. have called multiple times, and they said I have to wait the 8 weeks from 2/23. so after 4/23 rolled around, no change, i called again yesterday, and they escalated my case/emailed someone to look at it. And I woke up this morning to being in stage 2. So hopefully it goes fast now. Hope this helps!
-
Been in stage 1 since march 2nd. No updates at all. I havent tried calling since its only a couple hundred bucks but would be nice to get it and blow it on a night drinking downtown.
Cant remember NC ever taking this long before.
-
So just another update from me. I’ve been in stage 1 over a month now, and I called to check to see if there was a delay. The rep said she was sending an email to get it in motion or see if there is an issue. Was told If I don’t have deposit in 2 weeks to call back. So I don’t know if that disclaimer is going to be true. But I will keep you guys posted. If anyone else has been in stage one since or before 3/30/18 and has received your refund, if you can let me know when you got it I would appreciate it.
-
@ Corey, try this number, (877) 252-3052. I think this is the one I called. Of course it has automated prompts when you call, and you might have to try a few different ways that will actually get you to someone who you can talk too. But I really do wish you luck, as it seems everyone on here who has called has just got the run around and told to call back next week. I am one of those people also. If you do find out any “real info” please share. I have been in stage 1 since 3/30/18, which is when my “up to 8 weeks to process” started. But you have been in stage 1 for 8 weeks pretty much, so hopefully they will get you good soon. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
-
So just an update from me. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since I hit stage 1, and to no surprise I am still in stage 1. Twice then longer they save it could take. Also saw this on the news today about how the NCDOR made a huge mistake money wise and have to reImburse fees for the extra payments, along with any overdrafts or issues that resulted from the extra money they took. Just something else that obviously isn’t going to help speed up the process for any filings to happen faster. Can check out the link, North Carolina tax agency duplicated thousands of payments
http://wr.al/1BU6M -
Does anyone know a number where i can speak to someone about my state taxes i been in stage 1 since the end of feb ?
-
@ Tim
Write* Im just so darn mad, They know people are going to file , garnished wages throughout the year if they are not going to have to the money but not everyone owes. Some people actually pay their taxes and try to do the right thing and seems they’re the ones being punished. Its simply wrong.
-
That is exactly what they did when I called and they said oh it has been a while and yest this is week 3 that I am having to call back and still nothing
I am about to right my Mayor’s office or something because this is ridiculous! -
Lisa, your 8 weeks began on 3/2 when it went into stage 1. So I imagine they are just going to give you the run around until the end of this month. You’re close to 8 weeks from 3/2, so hopefully you get your money soon. If you haven’t got it after 8 weeks from then, I would definitely call, and not accept “call back next week” as answer. Try to get the right person who can tell you why it’s taken longer then they say it “could take”
-
filed,02/10
accepted, 02/12
Been in stage 1 since 03/02
just called again and was told to call back next week .This is ridiculous I am passed all deadlines and timeframes and am getting nowhere
bad enough, I owed and they were deducting from my check for six months and debt was cleared before I filed my taxes so I dont owe them anymore money but yet, they hold what they owe me -
My return has been saying stage 1 for over 30 days, I have surpassed my 8 weeks and still have yet to hear anything about my return. I called last week only to hear call back next week and that it is still processing. Clearly they do not abide by their own words because i am passed the 8 weeks from date of acceptance. I am not sure what is going on with the NCDOR but I need answers!
-
In the past, I’ve mailed in my NC return (because the refund amount was so small and didn’t justify me paying to e-file). I had a slightly unusual tax situation in 2017, so I used a CPA this year, and he e-filed both my Federal and State returns.
I don’t know the exact date he e-filed (it was either 3/16 or 3/19). My Federal refund was deposited within a week. My NC return went into Stage 1 on 4/10. It hit Stage 2 on 4/12 and Stage 3 on 4/13. My refund was much less than yours, Misty and Tim, so maybe they are holding onto the higher dollar refunds.
-
I mistyped that and sounded stupid. Meant to say “I didn’t even think about it”. Anyways, it does make sense to me that the state would drag it out past the deadline just so they can start receiving payments for taxes owed. Then I bet all of a sudden the stages will actually move at the pace they say. I worked in VA also for last year, and they had my taxes approved, done, and funds sent in like 2-3 days. Actually got my VA return before my fed. Federal is fast with theirs. I’m glad that I will just have VA to deal with after this return from here on.
-
Misty, thanks for the response. I am also owed almost 1k. I didn’t even think about that the about it, but the state may be taking longer to “process” the higher amounts owed so they can take in money that’s owed to them. Also known as Ponzi scheme. It just doesn’t make sense that it would take 3 months(if it takes 8 weeks from when stage 1 hit) to process my taxes. I bet if I owed 1k, they’d process it overnight and be sending me the bill next day.
-
@Tim
I too, heard it takes up to 8 weeks from the day it hits stage one. I was accepted Feb 6th and went to stage 1on March 2nd. I’ve been in stage 1 for 6 weeks as of today and there’s no answers from NC DOR except call back after the full 8 weeks if it has not progressed to the next stage. The only thing I can say is to hang in there. We are due over $900 and I’m sure they are holding a lot of people’s returns expecting to collect the interest on it. Even the wonderful Governor Cooper has commented on here that we should feel lucky to even get a return this year and not to expect one at all next year. It’s ridiculous.
-
I was also told that it can take up to 8 weeks from when stage 1 starts. Is there anyone out there that was also told this that has gone to a further stage, or actually received their return? Mine was accepted on 2/28/18, hit stage 1 on 3/30/18, and on 4/16/18 I was told that the processing time is when it shows in stage 1, not when accepted. I am just trying to get a realistic answer/expectation besides in can take 8 weeks. I’ve been in stage 1 for 3 days more then the site says it can take. Any reply would be appreciated, and I will post any updates I get along the way.
-
@emily or anyone. How long does it take to actually hit bank? I just got was changed to stage 3 on Friday, April 13, 2018, and am wondering if it should be there tomorrow morning or does it typically take longer?
Filed – 03/13/18 with turbo tax
Accepted – stage 1 around 04/06/18
Stage 2 – 4/10/18
Stage 3 – 4/14/18 -waiting to be deposited in bank via DD. -
Called and spoke with someone. I filed on 1/28 and was accepted 1/29 by state. The lady said they did not start “processing” the return, even though it had been accepted, until 2/23!! Almost a month later. She said that is the date they ask you to give them 8 weeks to process from. So apparently the end of April is when I can expect to see my return! Wow. I have also heard that they have to start paying interest after 45 days, so it would be in their best interest to process it asap.
-
Was in stage 1 for over a month including yesterday. Check today and not showing any stage anymore. Just says it hasn’t been processed. Anyone else having this issue?
-
Filed my state taxes Feb 11. Got my federal return back in exactly a week. As of today, (4/4) I have still not received my NC tax return. I’ve tried calling multiple times and haven’t gotten in touch with a single helpful person. It moved to Stage 1 about 2 weeks ago. To say the people of NCDOR are idiots would be a disservice to more respectable idiots everywhere. As far as tax return processes go, NC is space ages behind everybody else.
-
Filed on 2/1, hit stage 1 on 3/2 and it has yet to be updated.
-
Filed my return on January 25th. NC received it on Jan 29th and accepted it on Feb 1st. this is April 2nd and STILL says stage one online.
-
Filed on 2/1.
Accepted by NC on 2/2.
I have checked the site numerous times and it went into stage 1 on 3/6.When I called the (877) number yesterday, I was told that I should be at least in stage 2 but she wasn’t sure and was told to call back today (3/28).
Called again today asking for status update because it has been more than 15 days, only to be told that it may be up to 8 weeks to process.I said that the site stated 15 days to move to next stage but she only kept repeating that its up to 8 weeks. I figured that I wasn’t getting anywhere with her so I just hung up.
Clearly, she was waiting for 6pm and didn’t care to at least try to look into the problem. -
It took my return about 5 weeks to say it was in stage 1. I filed in the middle of February. We shall see!!!!!
-
Finally after almost 8 weeks Thursday would have made 8 weeks since I filed and they accepted it. Our refund was deposited this morning, but here’s the kick the site never updated me to Stage 2 or 3. I’m still in stage 1 on there. So if I were you I would call in and find out what’s going on and they could possibly tell you if they actually sent it to the bank or not because not everybody is updating on the refund site
-
Filed: 2/13
Federal Refund Deposited: 2/21As far as my state taxes, I checked NCDOR on 3/15 and it said my refund had not even been processed. Today, 3/26, I am in stage 3 (“refund has been issued to the bank account provided on your return and should be processed within 10 days”). Hopefully it will not take that long.
-
I finally went from stage 2 (refund approved) to stage 3 (refund issued to my bank) on the same day, Friday 3/23. It says it can take 10 days to process and show up in my bank?? Anyone that has already received their DD for NC- how long does it take for the refund to show in your bank after they issue the refund? 10 days seems to be an extreme amount of time for a direct deposit to “process”…
-
Corrorection,updated 3-13,not 2-13
-
It took me over five weeks just to go to stage 1,I efiled 2-1,,once I got to stage 2,It went pretty quickly,on 2-13,I updated three times in one day,at nine that night,it said refund sent to bank
-
I have been in sage 1 since 3/2
-
Refund accepted on 02/02/18, hit Stage 1 on 03/06/18. This morning, 03/22/18, still in
Stage 1. Uggghh!! -
My daughter’s refund was accepted 1/29/18, was processed on 2/26/28 and still in Stage 1 3/21/18! Multiple calls to local NCDOR and Raleigh with nothing they say thay can do! My other daughter filed on the same day, both live in the same house, and she received her refund 2 weeks ago! Come on NCDOR! Do your job!!
-
Our state was deposited last Tuesday,March13,Our preparer made a $30 mistake,which may have contributed to the delay,came down with the flu,so running behind on my update,efiled early Feb.
-
when is the next big update? is it monday or tuesday night? also when do they deposit?
-
Filed 2/6. Stage 1 on 3/13. Saturday it changed to “refund amount was changed”.
I did use TurboTax option to deduct cost from refund. Anybody else get this message?
-
Filed 1/29, accepted 2/1. Went to stage stage 1 Feb 28th. Still as of 3/18 in stage 1. I called Friday they said nothing was wrong but that it could take up to 8 weeks. Ummm your site says up to 15 days but not like you care. This is ridiculous.
-
@Porschia
I called and was told it was 15 days in general. But then she said check back in a week. But she knew I have been processing since the 2nd. I dont think they even know..
-
@Robert Anderson
Do you or anyone else for that matter, know if the 15 days is calendar or business. This is ridiculous
-
Files 2/8. Status FINALLY updated to Stage 1 as of 3/15! I feel much more optimistic with seeing SOME movement here at least. Just hoping it doesn’t take another 15 days before Stage 2. C’mon, need my refund before Easter weekend. Crossing fingers :)
-
@porschia
I am in the same boat. I updated to stage 1 on 3/2 and have been stuck on there ever since. I hope it is just 15 days.
-
CORRECTION:
Tax status is in Stage 1 as of 3/2
-
NC accepted 2/1
Stage : 3/2 – no movement since then. Msg says it may take up to 15 days to move to the next stage.Is this supposed to be 15 business day or 15 calendar days??? Anyone know when the updated their systems??
-
2/4 e-Filed and accepted

3/13 Stage 2
Waiting on stage 3.Wondering how long yours took to go from stage 2 to 3?

@Kevin: It had happened to me once but after I entered SS# and refund amount, it showed the correct status. It could be system glitch or operator’s error :-)
-
Yesterday my status was Stage 2, this morning it says no stages & still processing
-
Updated to Stage 2 today. Getting closer!
Filed & accepted 2/5.
Stage 1 – 3/12
Stage 2 – 3/14 -
Filed 2/8 electonically through H&R Block. NC refund still not received/processed. The least that NCDOR can do is verify that my refund was received, even if it takes 8 weeks to process. And let’s be honest, there is NO FREAKING WAY it takes 8 weeks to process anything in 2018. C’mon man.
I am guessing there is an unstated system at play here. As my pending refund is rather substantial, I am going to speculate that it is systemically shuffled to the bottom :)
-
Filed and accepted 2/7
Stage1 this morning 3/14
Gonna cut that 45 days close…
-
@Ashlyn thanks a lot my refund was sent to my bank yesterday as you said it would be. Good luck guys.
accepted 02/01
stage2 03/08
then my direct deposit was credited 03/13hope that helps
-
Mine just updated refund sent to bank
-
I have been at stage 1 since 3/2. This is ridiculous. A lot of people process in 3 days or less. I am on day 11 and still no movement.
-
@Craig: My stage 1 took 2 business days. Went to stage 1 3/9, approved 3/13.
-

Filed and accepted 2/6.
Went to stage 1 this morning
How long does stage 1 take?
-
Filed 2/2, entered stage 1 3/7, and no movement since. Just wanted to drop in and give an update.
-
e-filed and accepted on 2/5. Finally hit stage 1 over the weekend. Not sure if it was Fri.(9th) or Sat.(10th) So finally there is movement!!
-
Thanks Phil mine showed up today also. So for anyone else expecting a paper check it may be 16 days from the date written till the date its received.
-
-
Hooray, it progressed to stage 2 around 1am today, 3/13!
As a reference, e-filed and accepted 2/4, stage 1 on 3/9.
It looks like when the stage 1 message changes from “up to 15 days to process” to “call if it has been 60 days” may be hint that it’s about to progress to stage 2.
-
Mine went from stage 1-Tuesday-stage 2- Friday,now waiting on stage 3-It may have been on a limited schedule today,due to snow
-
e-filed and accepted 2/4, had my federal refund a while ago. It went to stage 1 3/9 saying it may take up to 15 days to process.
This morning, while still in stage 1, the message changed to the following: “Your return is in Stage 1. If it has been more than 60 days since you filed your return, please call 1-877-252-3052. To reach an agent, DO NOT select 1 for refunds. Instead, select 5 for all other inquiries, then select 1 for individual income tax.”
So, I called NC DOR and a rep told me that it might be on its way to being approved in stage 2. She saw no calculation errors.
Has anyone seen their message changed while in stage 1?
-
Filed 2/5 and accepted same day. As of this morning, it’s in stage 1. Hoping it doesn’t take the full 15 days to go to stage 2.
-
I’m thinking Tuesday
-
hi can anyone please tell me when my NC refund will deposited in my bank.
It was accepted on 02/01/2018 and on friday 03/09/2018 it now says my refund has been issued to my bank and will get to me in bout 10 days ? I filled using my fiancee account and an estimated date would be very appreciated
-
Filed 2/6 and my tax refund has not been processed yet. Has anyone filed on 2/6 and seen any movement on the processing of their return?
-
It didn’t used to be this way,I remember three years ago getting both federal,and state in less than ten days,then they said they were putting stricter rules (??)
In place ,last year we filed 1-31,got federal feb 8,state March 7,so its most definitely weird now -
I think the language is pretty tricky and it may work in favor of the state. As the state clearly says it can take up to 8-12 weeks to process returns which is clearly beyond 45 days (6 weeks and 3 days), they could be counting effectively from the due date of 4/17.
Fundamentally, the fact that NC requires 8-12 weeks to complete processing out this state as almost the longest. Question is why in the first place? One should organize a class action lawsuit/complaint against the state in order to get them to move faster in the future.
I have just been so disappointed with this state. I now miss Illinois’ efficiency in handling refunds. Also, the NC DOR is gouging us on high taxation on automobiles.There is no such thing as automobile property tax in Illinois. Here I pay upwards of upper $300s for each of my 3 vehicles. Highway robbery, indeed!
-
Just a quick point on the 45 day interest rule, they pay interest “45 days from the date the original return was filed or the date the original return was due, whichever is later.” The due date for tax returns this year is April 17, 2018.
So if you filed before March 3rd, they are not required to pay interest until after the 17th of April. If you file after March 3rd, then it’s 45 days from the day you file. Just wanted to clear that up before anyone gets their hopes up!
-
Went to stage 2 @6am this morning
-
It finally progresses to stage 1 after midnight! e-filed and accepted 2/4.
-
@Holly: I had my federal refund deposited earlier as well. Let’s keep each other informed once it progresses to stage 1. Thanks and hang in there :-)
-
I also filed and was excepted on 2/4 and mine is still not processing. I received my federal taxes weeks ago.
-
@Bonnie: Thank you for the information about the state issuing interest after 45 days.
Folks – State website says so here: https://www.ncdor.gov/taxes/individual-income-tax/general-refund-information
Granted 45 days a little bit over 6 weeks is still a long time, but it’s good to know there is a safeguard that we won’t be strung along indefinitely. It just pains me to think that Fed and most other states can issue refund much sooner than NC state. Wish there were collective complaints to force the state to change the inefficient and seemingly deliberately slow system.
-
e-filed and accepted 2/4. Still not processed. Any 2/4 filers out there seeing the same thing?
-
Mine changed really early this morning, at like 3am, to refund has been sent to bank on return. Still have yet to receive it on the emerald card. Will update.
-
Don’t forget any refunds not received over 45 days, state is required to pay interest.
-
Accepted 2/1
Stage 1: 2/28
Stage 2: 3/2
Stage 3 :3/6
Just deposited on my jh serve card -
Finally went to stage one,efiled 2-2,said to allow fifteen days for completion
-
Filed 2/2, and just entered stage 1 today. Who knows when next they will feel moved to look at it and send it to stage 2, but the site says 15 days.
-
I filed on Jan 23rd and just updated to check written/direct deposit sent to bank on March 2nd but haven’t received refund yet.
-
Filed on Jan 23rd,
Return received and processing on February 23rd,
Return approved on February 28th,
Check written/sent to bank for direct deposit on March 2nd,
Still haven’t received my direct deposit. -
Its about a week wait for the deposit after “stage 2”
NCDOR can go kick rocks.
-
My husband and I efiled feb 2,accepted same day,NO movement at all,my neighbor efiled feb 14,,received refund feb 27
-
Filed 2/6. Accepted 2/6
As of March 6, nothing, no movement.
Anybody file around this date had any any movement?
Last year filed 1/18, refund from NC 2/28
-
Refund deposited into bank today 3/6/18
-
It’s so amazing how when you owe the State of NC they want their money then and will take it out your bank account but when they owe you these suckers take forever. I filed on 1/28/18. My refund was accepted on 1/30/18. I have yet to receive my NC refund as of 3/6/18. I checked the status this morning and my refund was approved and I needed to wait an additional three weeks before receiving my refund. I received my federal taxes two weeks after filing. There is a special place in hell for these people.
-
Went to stage 3 Saturday morning, haven’t received anything yet all it says was sent to bank. How long does it usually take to get it?
-
Accepted 02/19, approved 03/01, said refund was sent 03/02. Received this evening after 5
-
I efiled 2-2 accepted both same day,got federal back feb 22,state hasn’t moved at ALL
-
Same here, e-filed and accepted 2/4. NC hasn’t processed yet. Deposited the federal check today. Sigh, another day goes by with no progress on state…
-
I filed with turbotax (like I do every year) on 2/1. They were accepted immediately and I got my federal return on 2/14. The NC site says that my refund hasn’t even been processed yet.
-
Just received the NC refund on my NetSpend card. Glad I’m all done for this year…
-
Doesn’t actually say Stage 3. It says “Your refund has been issued to the bank account provided on your return and should be processed within 10 days. Please contact your bank for a record of the deposit.”
Either way I still haven’t seen a NetSpend deposit yet and the status updated either last Thursday or Friday.
I think they update the status before they actually release the funds.
-
In my past experience Tuesdays are deposit days.
-
Moved to stage 3 Friday. Does anyone know how long it will take before its deposited into my account?
-
Filed- 1-31-2018
Accepted- 2-1-2018
Stage 1 – 3-2-2018
-
Last year it said 4-6 week turnaround,this year it says 8-12 weeks,they are saying because of new tax laws
-
I filed my Fed and State on 1/24. Fed accepted the same day, NC accepted almost a week after.
Fed refund received on 2/16
NC status just updated to stage 3 (refund sent to bank) Friday morning after more than a month after filing.
How long do they actually take? I got my refund on my Netspend card the same day as my 846 code on my transcript.
Why is NC so painfully @#/%! Slow year after year.?
-
I efiled 2-2, have not updated at all,so I called yesterday,gentleman very nice,told me they are experiencing delays,last year filed 1-31,received 3-7
-
For all you beautiful people waiting for your return from NC, remember they have to pay interest of any refund not processed in 45 days.
-
My return was accepted on 2/2, still no response from NC Department of Taxation, this is ridiculous.
-
NC is slow every year, but this year is stacking up to be even slower. . .
Here’s my numbers…
Filed state and federal returns at the same time on 1/30. . .
Federal accepted my return 1h 54m after filing. . .
NC return accepted 2 days later on 2/1/2018
Federal refund was deposited 2/7 (quicker than previous years by 4 days)
As of tonight (3/2) my NC return status still shows as not processed..
-
I filed January 20
Stage 1 02/20
Stage 2 02/27Stage 3 03/02 sent to the bank
Has anyone received it in the bank yet???
-
So TT says my return was accepted 2/2, and NC is reporting it as still not processed. Anyone else in the same boat? They usually take a long time, but I feel like it’s taking longer this year.
-
Status update as of today 3/2/18 stage 3
Your refund has been issued to the bank account provided on your return and should be processed within 10 days. Please contact your bank for a record of the deposit.
Filed 1/23
1/31 accepted
2/20 stage 1
2/27 stage 2 -
@Mimmor: Since we both have the same accepted date of Feb 4, I feel a little better to know that we are in the same “unprocessed” boat. My federal check was sent 2 days ago.
@LH: Glad that you’ve advanced to stage 1 :-) Hopefully, the stage 2 is quicker.
http://www.savingtoinvest.com/average-irs-and-state-tax-refund-and-processing-times/ indicates that NC is among the slowest state in processing the returns. I can’t understand why it takes them about a month to begin processing. What has NCDOR been doing to our returns in the mean time? My guess is they let our returns sit and hang on to our refund money a bit longer! Federal has a lot more tax returns to process and yet they can do this much faster than NC. NCDOR should be ashamed of themselves!!!
-
Fed already deposit
NC accepted Jan.31, 2018
Stage one-3-1-18Has anyone received their NC refund yet? How long do you stay in stage 1?
NC the last2 years are awful with their processing time!! -
Same here. Was accepted March4 and still saying not processed but have already received federal
-
Anybody with update for 2/4 accepted date? Mine still says it has not been processed.
-
Another update…
Accepted 2/1
Stage 1 update on 2/24
Stage 2 update today, 2/28
My refund was deposited on a Tuesday last year according to my records.
-
UPDATE:
Accepted 1/31/18
Stage 1 2/20/18
2/27/18 Your return is in Stage 2. We are working to issue your refund. Please allow up to 3 weeks to receive your refund.
-
Finally at stage 2. Return was approved. Now it says allow 3 weeks to receive refund
-
I have achieved “Stage 1” status! Seems they are running a week or so behind in comparison to last year.
-
Sounds normal for NC to me. It’s like this every year. Seems to take them about 4 weeks to acknowledge my return on their website. Then it takes another 2 or 3 weeks to get my return.
-
I filed on 2/4 and TurboTax said the state of NC has accepted the return. Today is 2/21, NCDOR WMR still says “Your return has not been processed.” NC probably is one of the slowest states processing income tax returns. Now, I miss Illinois where I lived for 31 years and it would acknowledge receiving the return and complete processing the refund much faster than NC. In Illinois, I never had to pay vehicle property taxes and paid a low flat about $110 for license plate sticker. Here, the NCDMV charges me over $850 for highway use tax and $390 for registration for a car I bought 3 weeks ago. I have 4 cars, NC has robbed me big time! Sorry, I know I’m venting but it’s very frustrating, indeed!
-
I filled mine on 2/7/18 and Free Tax USA stated it was accepted. However when I go into where’s my NC refund site it states that it hasn’t been processed yet. That doesn’t make sense to me. My federal is due to come on the 22nd and usually I get state before my federal. Is anyone else having this issue?
-
My state was accepted on 1/31/18.
Everyday I checked, it said same thing “your return has not been processed”
Today 2/20/18 it says I am in stage one and may take up to 15 days to process. -
I submitted to NC 3 weeks ago. When I check status, it doesn’t even show as accepted? What is up with that? Per the TurboTax website, the state WAS accepted. I don’t get it.
-
I accidentally put my federal refund amount into the refund amount box while checking my state. It didn’t even provide me with an error message! Not very reassuring for NC!
-
Mine was accepted as well
-
Just got the notification my state was accepted.
-
Enjoy your tax refunds this because next year you won’t be getting one.
-
Soon nobody will be getting a tax in NC. Enjoy it while you get them.
-
Filed April 1, NC accepted. Received Federal refund within 8 days. As of today, I have NOTHING from NC. I have been stuck in stage 1 for weeks now. This is utterly ridiculous, and there’s no mentioning on the NCDOR website about the delay in general. The news media doesn’t cover it either. Any update as to what is going on in NC would be appreciated!
-
Day 1(1/31/17): Filed Federal and NC
Day 1: Returns both marked as received
Day 8(2/7): Received federal deposit(1 week from filing!! awesome)
Day 26(2/25) Moved to Stage 1 for NC
…
Day 73(4/13): Status changed from Stage 1 to…’Stage 1 but please call this number if it has been more than 60 days…’
Day 74(4/14) Your return is in Stage 2.
Day 78:Your refund has been issued to the bank account provided on your return and should be processed within 10 days. Please contact your bank for a record of the deposit.
Will keep you guys posted as to how long until it hits my WM MoneyCard.. Usually beats SECU by 2-3 days
-
Call the Governor about the crap. Are better yet vote him out are in on this.
-
Hello team
So I guess anyone that was here previously when I was posting has moved on and spent their refunds and will not see this note until 2018…
But
after many months I have a change in status! Here is my timeline for educational/archival purposes:
Day 1(1/31/17): Filed Federal and NC
Day 1: Returns both marked as received
Day 8(2/7): Received federal deposit(1 week from filing!! awesome)
Day 26(2/25) Moved to Stage 1 for NC
…
Day 73(4/13): Status changed from Stage 1 to…’Stage 1 but please call this number if it has been more than 60 days…’At that point I decided that I probably was being audited or something and lost my desire to hunt down my status
Day 74(today) I check it to find the phone number and see this:
Your return is in Stage 2. We are working to issue your refund. Please allow up to 3 weeks to receive your refund.
Hopefully this moves a little more swiftly… Cross your fingers for me folks, and good luck to anyone left!
-
Filed and accepted for state refund 3/8. Move to Stage 1 on 3/27. Today April 13 is the 17th day without anymore movement. So much for the 15 day window. Anyone else having same issue?
-
I filed 2/26 and got my federal refund very quickly. I just checked my NC state refund, and it says it’s still in stage 1. It says, “Your return is in Stage 1. Your tax return is currently being processed. It may take up to 15 days for your return to move to the next stage of processing.” 15 days?! It’s been over a month! I filed electronically through TurboTax, and I knew NC was slow, but I can’t believe it’s taking this long. I’m a student overseas and need to transfer the money soon! Typical NC. Absolutely ridiculous.
-
filed tax return on 01/27/2017, still shows stage 1 on NC tax refund site.
-
Ok so my taxes was filled feb sec got my federal return feb 23 my husband works out of state we received ga and sc taxes but nc has taken FOREVER!!! Mine finally changed from stage 1 to stage 2 3 days ago 3/25 my best friend filed hers the same day and received hers like 2 weeks ago. I’m not so sure what’s going on but nc gets in no hurry lol
-
Brian, how long did it take to get your deposit through NCSECU? I bank with them and have had the message that my refund was sent to my bank since Friday 3/17. Still no deposit yet.
-
As anyone who was accepted at/around 2/8 seen any activity past stage 1? I was put in stage 1 last Tuesday and have seen nothing since then.
-
Sunday 3/12 received the sent to account message
As of this AM I have received no deposit yet. I bank with BB&T. Anyone else that received the message on the same day received their deposit yet?
-
Yikes,
That actually makes me feel worse… I am still on Stage 1, today makes Day 18 of being in Stage 1 :(
Filed/Accepted: 1/31
Federal Deposit Feb 7th
NC Stage 1: 2/25
Reached point where I feel like something funky has happened to my return: 3/13Good luck all
-
UPDATE
Afternoon on 3/10 changed to your refund will be deposited into your bank account with in 10 days.Today sunday 3/12 still nothing showing in my account, but i bank with NCSECU, and they are slow to post things and dont show pending deposits sho hopefully it’ll post to my account as available monday morning.
Previous INFO
state filed on 2/3 accepted on 2/4not processing until 2/27
sage 1 on 2/28
stage 2 on 3/7still in stage 2 on 3/10
hopefully that doesn’t mean there’s an issue or some place filed claim to part of my return… Seems most people went from stage 2 to 3 the next day.
-
Previously posted that I was in Stage 2 since March 7th, well finally as of today March 10th my Refund status is: Your payment has been sent to your bank for dd. So hopefully after 6:00 PM tonight my WF account will show that information. Been along journey folks, but hang in there I guess as we don’t have an operative… Lol Best of Luck to you all… and have a great time this weekend in the snow… that is if you like the white stuff… Weather is as Crazy as The NC DEPT of REVENUE…
-
I just called and asked the agent exactly what does stage 2 mean and she told me that it means that it has been approved and they are waiting on it to go in pay status. apparently the acceptance stage when you initially file does not guarantee approval.
-
state filed on 2/3 accepted on 2/4
not processing until 2/27
sage 1 on 2/28
stage 2 on 3/7still in stage 2 on 3/10
hopefully that doesn’t mean there’s an issue or some place filed claim to part of my return… Seems most people went from stage 2 to 3 the next day.
-
Finally saw Stage 1 yesterday 3/8 — and that was when I filed and was accepted on Feb 3…maybe now that I am in Stage 1 we will roll along quicker…
-
Holy schmoley Steve, makes me THINK…. What the heck am I complaining about. NC has seriously dragged their asses this year. Good Luck man.
-
Sweet, innocent Mick.
I filed 1/31, accepted same day. Got Fed refund on Feb 7th I think.
I hit stage 1 on 2/25… and I am still at Stage 1.
So Day 13 at Stage 1… Hopefully the 15 day timeline they give is accurate.
Good luck everyone
-
Never have waited this long for a NC State Refund Pretty Ridiculous…. Filed Feb. 4th state & federal with Turbo Tax. Approved for both on Feb. 4th. DD of federal was received into my bank on Feb. 10th. Been waiting forever for the state to drop DD. What is the holdup peeps?
MARCH 3rd I WAS FINALLY IN FOR STATE 1, THEN STAGE 2 ON MARCH 7th, and today as of MARCH 9th I’m still in STAGE 2. IT’S NOW OFFICIALLY 34 DAYS SINCE I FILED AND ALL WAS APPROVED. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW? -
Does anybody know if NC state website is down. It keeps telling me unable to identify account
-
checked my bank this evening around 9 and had a pending deposit ! They are moving quicker! Good luck everyone!
-
New update this morning to … “Your refund has been issued to the bank account provided on your return and should be processed within 10 days. Please contact your bank for a record of the deposit.”…..This was another update from when it said check was being mailed. Figure I will have a deposit by the end of the week….
-
My stairs updated Monday 3/6 evening to “Your refund has been issued to the bank account provided on your return and should be processed within 10 days. Please contact your bank for a record of the deposit.”.
I’ve checked my bank, but it hasn’t posted yet & isn’t pending either.
But in all — hopeful for Thursday 3/9! -
Any feedback is welcome!!
-
I filed Jan.27th excepted the same day. I finally got to stage 1 on Feb 21rst. Stage 2 march 3rd. It seems like others are moving faster that done theirs after me. They already got checked mailed or a dd. I figured mine would be on stage 3 by now.
-
This morning (Sat 3/4/17), my refund status changed to “Your refund check has been mailed. Please allow additional time for delivery.”…. I’m thinking Monday or Tuesday it’ll change to the DD message, and I should still have my refund around Thursday.
-
Filed on Feb 1. Until Monday Feb. 27 it said had not processed. On Feb. 28 I was stage 1. March 2 Stage 2 and I just checked It now says Check mailed. I am supposed to get DD. We shall see …..
-
Filed on 2/1 and was accepted the next day.
Afters weeeks of waiting, refund finally entered stage 1 on 3/1, stage 2 on 3/2, and checked just now and says “Your refund check has been mailed. Please allow additional time for delivery”. Seems as if they’re beginning to move a bit faster. How long does it take DD to drop? I need the money for tuition deposit so I’m a bit on edge
-
I received a DD on 2/28/17 and although my bank usually shows pending deposits, it did not show a pending DD for the state refund. Also, I requested funds to be deposited into a different account than my federal but it was actually deposited into the account where my federal was deposited into, very strange. I filed online through H&R block, 1/27/17 and accepted 1/27/17.
-
I never got an actial date for deposit. Only that within 10 days message. And bank never listed an incoming direct deposit either. My refund showed up within 2 days after message tho. I bank with Bb&t.
It was exactly a month > 30 days from filling to deposit.
Hope u get ur money soon too -
Any one else receiving DD from NC tax refunds yet?
-
I e-filed in the evening of Monday January 30 (7:45pm). Requested DD through Wells Fargo on both returns.
Federal Return was accepted Monday 1/30/17 at 7:56pm.
NC State Return was accepted Tuesday 1/31/17 at 4:41 amFederal Return was delayed to due EIC, but finally approved 2/17/17. Fed Return was noted as “Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by February 22, 2017.”
Federal Return was received/posted via DD Wednesday 2/22/17.NC State Return hit Stage 1 on Friday 2/24/17.
NC State Return hit Stage 2 on Wednesday 3/1/17.Based on other timelines I see, I should estimate a 6-business-day span before receiving DD (which would be Thursday 3/9). Will follow up with additional status changes as they occur.
-
Kendra, you may need to call and find out about that. If you don’t owe anyone, it may be a mistake on their part.
-
Mine NC Refund went from Processing to Stage 1 last week and when I checked it today it says
“You Refund has a Changed. A Notice will be sent within 15 days”.What does that mean that they kept my entire refund? I do not owe anything to the state or anyone else so they have no reason to keep my refund?
-
Update: My DD went through this afternoon.
-
Mine also changed to refund issued to bank provided. Hopefully the wait is almost over!
-
Thanks for sharing LEH. I filed on 1/27 and was accepted the same day. I went ahead and checked my refund status again after it said the check was mailed and my status updated to what you have. Hopefully we get it this week.
-
Filed on 1/26/17 accepted same day.
Got this message this morning. ⬇️⬇️
Your refund has been issued to the bank account provided on your return and should be processed within 10 days. Please contact your bank for a record of the deposit. -
Tigger-mine was the same as Tin Tin’s. it changed to Stage 2 on Monday and Friday changed to mailed check.
-
Yay, a change!
Filed : 1/31
Accepted: 1/31
Federal DDD was 2/8 (rcvd 2/7)******
NC Stage 1 : 2/25Just updated today I think
Your return is in Stage 1. Your tax return is currently being processed. It may take up to 15 days for your return to move to the next stage of processing.
Good news to me!
-
Hey I have the refund has been mailed too.
I did a little research and that’s just what they post. If u chose direct deposit instead of check they’ll deposit it into account listed on return.
I remember last year. They never listed exact deposit date, it just showed up in my bank account. May be the same this year. -
Tigger, my status changed to stage 1 on Monday (2/20) and by Friday evening (2/24) it had updated to check mailed. So five working days for me.
-
Kelly- business days or regular days?
-
Tigger-it took about 5 days to move from Stage 2 to a check has been mailed.
-
I got the stage 2 message yesterday… how long until it updates to status saying the check has been mailed!?
-
Mine also said a check has been mailed.. I chose direct deposit..??? are they mailing it? I dont live at the address on my tax form anymore, thats why I chose direct deposit.
-
Once my return processed, I moved from stage 1 and 2 pretty quickly. Now the NC refund inquiry website says my refund has been mailed but I’m confused by this since I requested direct deposit. Hoping it just a computer glitch.
-
I efiled on 1/23, accepted on 1/25. Message finally changed today from Step 2 to: Your refund check has been mailed. Please allow additional time for delivery. I selected DD, does this mean they are sending me a paper check?
-
Had this message this morning: **Your return is in Stage 2. We are working to issue your refund. Please allow up to 3 weeks to receive your refund.
This afternoon changed to :
Your refund check has been mailed. Please allow additional time for delivery.Just wondering when it will tell me that it has been DD.
-
My NC refund status now says it is in stage 2. I wonder how long that will take? I filed 1/28 and was accepted the same day. Last year i think it was much faster than this.
-
Just want to say that NC drives me CRAZY!! What should be a simple process takes 6-8 weeks at best! They must have 10 people handling all of the returns….
-
Just checked and status went from
Your return is in stage 1. Please allow this stage to take up to 15 days
To
Your return is in Stage 1. If it has been more than 60 days since you filed your return, please call 1-877-252-3052. To reach an agent, DO NOT select 1 for refunds. Instead, select 5 for all other inquiries, then select 1 for individual income tax.
I filed on 1/28 and was accepted for federal same day and NC and MI on 1/29
Like what in the hell is going on at the NCDOR???
It took me 7 days to get my federal and MI refunds… is this their way of saying they’re close to depositing my refund or are they really that incompetent that it’s going to take them that long to send people their money ?!? -
Got the youre refund is in stage 2 message today I was accepted on 1/26/17.
⬇️Actual message ⬇️**Your return is in Stage 2. We are working to issue your refund. Please allow up to 3 weeks to receive your refund.
-
MY status has changed to stage 2, how long does this process take? I have lived in several states and this one is probably the longest, I had to file partial year with another state and couldn’t do it until a week after I flied North Carolina and I already received my refund from there.
-
I checked today on the NC state refund website and my status changed from “Your return is in Stage 1. Your tax return is currently being processed. It may take up to 15 days for your return to move to the next stage of processing.”
to
“Your return is in Stage 1. If it has been more than 60 days since you filed your return, please call 1-877-252-3052. To reach an agent, DO NOT select 1 for refunds. Instead, select 5 for all other inquiries, then select 1 for individual income tax.
I had the first message yesterday and now the second message today. I guess that’s something, right?
-
Today I got the message “Your return is in Stage 1. Your tax return is currently being processed. It may take up to 15 days for your return to move to the next stage of processing.”
I filed on January 27th, got accepted on January 30th. I have already received my federal (after 10 days), and SC (after 14 days). Still nothing from NC. So glad this is my last year with NC taxes!!
-
@Haley Ward
I bank with SECU. They don’t hold or show pending deposits. If I have a deposit like from payroll, they usually show it 4am or 5am on whatever day it suppose to be sent.
-
I finally got the Stage 1 message this morning. I filed on January 27.
-
Filed 1/9/17
On 2/17 I got the
“Your return is in Stage 1. Your tax return is currently being processed. It may take up to 15 days for your return to move to the next stage of processing.”
Today I checked and it was
“Your return is in Stage 1. If it has been more than 60 days since you filed your return, please call 1-877-252-3052. To reach an agent, DO NOT select 1 for refunds. Instead, select 5 for all other inquiries, then select 1 for individual income tax.
Anybody else got this changed message?
-
So I finally went to stage 1 processing yesterday for NC. Can someone tell me how long you stay in stage 1 processing if anyone has actually gotten their NC refund yet. Thanks
-
Anyone know if State Employees Credit Union updates deposits overnight? The local branch told me they never “hold” deposits but thats not really what i was asking lol like some banks show deposits after a certain time. Also wandering if they show on weekends?
been accepted since 1/25 still processing -
Been accepted for two weeks now…no changes. Still not processed…maybe one year they will speed up their process!
-
Well checked and got same message of not been processed yet…filed 1/19 accepted 1/23
-
I filed 1/13 and was accepted 1/23.
-
Liz,
When did you file? Just wondering time frame, I filed on 1/26/17
NC took a month last year,seems to be the new norm now -
New update!!
“Your return is in Stage 1. Your tax return is currently being processed. It may take up to 15 days for your return to move to the next stage of processing.”
-
Just a heads up, they did change the message as has been noted on a previous post.
That said, it doesnt matter if I type in my SSN and refund amount, or random numbers… I get the same message:
Your return has not been processed. If you filed your return electronically and received an acknowledgement, your return has been received, but has not started processing. If you mailed a paper return, it may take an average of 6 weeks for your return to begin processing. If it has been more than 12 weeks, follow the steps for sending a duplicate return.
Is anyone getting anything different? Just want to know if the system is just that poorly built… I am guessing they dont bother to update your status at all unless your return is processed and finalized.
Anyone gotten a refund in NC?
Filed 1/31, got my federal refund last Tues. No word on NC :(
-
I got a new message today.
“Your return has not been processed. If you filed your return electronically and received an acknowledgement, your return has been received, but has not started processing. If you mailed a paper return, it may take an average of 6 weeks for your return to begin processing. If it has been more than 12 weeks, follow the steps for sending a duplicate return.”
-
So how long does NC take to start processing returns? It isn’t as if they’re NYS giving back tons of money why does it take so long?
-
Thanks Phil glad to know I’m not alone. That also tells me it isn’t a us mail issue but an ncdor issue.
-
-
Still nothing for NC. This state has truely become a disappointment. I think it’s time to move, and not just because of refund.
-
Hi. I filed and was accepted on 1/27. NC is extremely slow when it comes to processing. Last year it took a month to get a refund. I’m expecting the same time frame this year.
-
Hello. We filed our NC taxes on 1/26/17. They were accepted these same day. Nothing since says has not been processed. Has anyone received them yet or got to next step.
-
Submitted 1/23. Accepted at like 2am on 1/24. Here’s the message I keep getting.
“Your 2016 tax return has not been processed. Refunds are being processed and checks/direct deposits are going out every week. We are working as quickly as possible to issue refunds, as long as they do not have errors or require review. We update refund information by 6 PM daily. Your refund information will remain the same throughout the day. Please wait at least 24 hours before inquiring again”
No problems with it because I received my Federal refund this morning. No EIC. No additional child tax. Nothing. Frustrated to say the least. Why are they always so slow??
-
NC is definitely slow when it comes to refunds.
-
filed NC 1/27, accepted 1/28. Currently “processing”
-
Update: I was able to efile this morning. HRB fixed it and now the option to efile appeared.
-
Has anyone had an issue filing the NC state tax? I filed online with H&R Block and it only filed my federal and not the state. There’s an issue with HRB.
-
it has been over 8 weeks for me and I am still getting this message
Your tax return has been received; however, processing is not complete
than god I dont need to use the money for anything
-
Received this message last Thursday and still haven’t received my money.
Thank you for filing electronically. Your refund was issued to the bank account provided and should be processed within 10 days. Please contact your bank for a record of the deposit.
-
Finally!!!
> Individual > Electronic Services
Where’s My Refund?
IMPORTANT: The Department’s average response time for issuing a refund is approximately six weeks from when NCDOR receives a taxpayer’s return.
Response time should be calculated from the date NCDOR acknowledges receipt of the return, not the date when the return was mailed or electronically submitted by the taxpayer.
Paper return filers should allow additional time for mailing and processing. Processing can be delayed based on heavy volume, poor print quality or errors made by the taxpayer.
If you have not received your refund within twelve weeks from the date your return was submitted to NCDOR, please contact the department at 1-877-252-3052.
In peak processing periods (returns filed closer to the deadline), the time required for issuing refunds may increase due to larger volume.Thank you for filing electronically. Your 2015 refund check has been written. Please allow additional time for delivery.
-
Still nothing but screen did change

In peak processing periods (returns filed closer to the deadline), the time required for issuing refunds may increase due to larger volume.Your tax return has been received, however processing is not complete. We are working quickly to issue refunds weekly. Returns with errors or requiring review will delay the refund. Refund information is updated daily by 6 PM. Please wait at least 24 hours before inquiring again.

NC accepted on 01/29 and it is still saying “processing”
I have called a few times and each time I am told the exact same thing “please allow time for processing we do not need any additional information at this time.” -
@freddy
Me too!
Hopefully DD in near future. Good luck!! -
Same here I have no idea what it means I’ve had it a week
-
Anybody received this message got their refund accepted 2/1

Where’s My Refund?
IMPORTANT: The Department’s average response time for issuing a refund is approximately six weeks from when NCDOR receives a taxpayer’s return.
Response time should be calculated from the date NCDOR acknowledges receipt of the return, not the date when the return was mailed or electronically submitted by the taxpayer.

I’m back to “Not completed yet”. I broke down and called Tuesday (when WMR still said to call) and the agent told me it was completed and should be in my account in 10 days or less. Hoping for a deposit next week.
-
Got deposit this morning. I suspect some of the others have as well as they have not come back. Lol Good luck!!
-
Still stuck on call 800 number. :(
-
Nothing for me as of this morning. I guess maybe tomorrow.
-
Finally, got the refund amount deposited to my account this early morning.
All the best to you guys!!
-
@Crystal We received the same message around the 17th. My husband called and they just verified his info. On the 26th the status changed to “thank you, your check has been written”
DD is pending in our account this morning. Will be available after midnight -
Accepted on 2/28
Message changed to the “thank you, check has been written” on 2/26
Around 10am(mountain time) my bank account showed pending deposit for today(will be available after midnight) -
So I finally received the “Please call about refund amount” message today. Do I actually have to call? It seems like everyone gets that message, but I don’t want to NOT call and it take even longer.
-
When did you guys file mine is still saying call ugh
-
Hey yall. Following in the same situation. Got message on Friday but no change until a few minutes ago to sent to bank so hopefully tomorrow. I have Wells fargo and don’t think it would post today.
-
me too!! This has been the longest tax season! lol
-
@shaunna I really hope this means we are getting a deposit tomorrow!! Fingers crossed for us!
-
@Xyyy: My said the same thing this morning. I just checked and it updated to “refund deposited..” just a few minutes ago….if you selected DD, I suspect your refund is sent once the message changes to the one about the refund being sent…..
-
I just checked my status and says it has been sent to my bank.
-
Thank you for filing electronically. Your 2015 refund check has been written. Please allow additional time for delivery.” Mine says this. Am I still getting a direct deposit??
-
@Azhar: My message just changed to this within the last couple of hours. so, I should have it tomorrow, I bank with SECU and ach dd are posted around 4am / will update in the morning
-
welp, I guess I will see it tomorrow *fingers crossed*
-
Status changed to “Thank you for filing electronically. Your refund was issued to the bank account provided and should be processed within 10 days. Please contact your bank for a record of the deposit.”
No deposit yet in the bank account
@Abc123, what’s the status online for your refund? -
No, it showed up about an hour ago as pending. So it will release into my account over night.
-
Abc123 was it there this morning?
-
I got the “thank you” message on Friday. My deposit just showed up in my account. I have Navy Federal.
-
No refund yet unfortunately.
-
….nothing yet……..patiently waiting lol
-
I also got the thank you message since Thursday night but no direct deposit yet
-
I got my refund message Friday and was wondering if anyone has gotten their refund yet?
-
Has anyone who got the “thank you” message on Friday received their money yet? I’m hoping tomorrow will be the day.
-
I got the same message ”
Thank you for filing electronically. Your 2015 refund check has been written. Please allow additional time for delivery.” Anyone get this message and got a DD? -
My NC state return was accepted on 1/28. Like many of you WMR changed from “We have received…” to “Please call…”. Saturday it changed to the “Thank you for filing electronically, blah blah refund check mailed…” I opted for DD. So, I am not sure if I should look for a check or DD. Either way I know it was approved so I can just wait on it..lol
-
I’ve been accepted since the 28th of Jan and still no update just the message to call.. I call they verified my info and said it would take 6 more weeks..from the day i was approved? This is absolutely ridiculous North Carolina needs to get it together.
-
I got the “Thank you” message on friday as well. Guessing ill see a deposit on monday or tuesday
-
Filed on 1/27
Accepted 1/29
Just received this message this afternoon:Thank you for filing electronically. Your 2015 refund check has been written. Please allow additional time for delivery.
-
Thank you for filing electronically. Your 2015 refund check has been written. Please allow additional time for delivery. Finally!
-
I hope you all have a wonderful and productive year. I would have to say this has been the most informative tax refund thread I have viewed and participated in this tax season. See ya next season NC refundees!!!!
-
-
I am right there with y’all . Mine moved to not done processing a couple of days ago! Hopefully I will see a DDD soon!
-
-
*Update* My refund was in my account this morning.
-
Filed early, accepted 1/28, deposit in account as of this morning.
-
I was accepted on the 29th. I just called about that message and the rep told me they started processing my return on the 18th and I am “at the end of the road” and should be seeing a deposit in any day now she just couldnt tell me when. I’ll update if I get a DD.
-
Thanks Taylor, I shouldn’t be far behind y’all then, I filed and was accepted on 2/1
-
@Tricia. I filed on Jan15, but was not accepted until 28-Jan-2016, the first day NC started accepting returns.
-
I also got the “received but still processing” message. I filled on Jan/25 and was received on Jan/29. STILL waiting…
-
Looks like im a couple days behind yu guys. Mine changed from the “call about refund amount” to “received but not finished processing” so im guessing mine will change again in the next couple days…at least its progressing
-
Karen and Taylor when did you file?
-
@taylor yes! Me too!
-
*UPDATE* I just checked WMRNC and got the below message. I will check my account in the morning to see if it was DD.
Thank you for filing electronically. Your 2015 refund check has been written. Please allow additional time for delivery.
-
Has anyone else noticed at the top of the page it says
IMPORTANT: The Department’s average response time for issuing a refund is approximately six weeks from when NCDOR receives a taxpayer’s return.
I’m just wondering if that’s always been there or not, last few years I’ve got NC refund back before Fed. I filled on 2/1 and got Fed back on 2/10, still nothing on state. I am glad to know that other people are in the same boat because I was afraid they had found something wrong with my return or something was going on.
-
@Neice. Thanks for the update. I hope it updates today with DDD
-
Called this morning about the message regarding refund amount. They verified some info and then told me that there are no issues as of right now with my return, that its now processing and to keep a check on WMR and it will be updated soon with deposit info.
-
@Felicia Yes, it seems like it’s not indicative of a problem.
-
So everyone is getting the same message to call? I got the message yesterday.
-
I’ll update if I have any news, as well. Til then! :)
-
@Karen, we seem to be. I am hoping that since the previous message meant return was processing maybe this one means DD or check being made. I looked at my previous refund deposits and they were either on a Tues or Thurs…so hopefully we see funds this week. I will post another update if I get message update or DD.
-
@Taylor Same here. Changed from the call message to the not done processing message. You and I are probably in the same batch. We seem to be updating the messages at the same times.
-
Update* I checked website this morning..message has changed from call about your refund to your return has been received but not complete with processing.
-
UPDATE**
State accepted 1/28…checked status this morning and it changed from the “not processed” to the message about calling about refund amount that yu guys are getting.
-
Update: I called the dept this morning regarding the message to call about you refund amout. I was told by the agent that everything was fine and that the system was giving that reponse when a return was being processed. I hope this helps. Still no deposit. :(
-
Filed 2/4 still have “processing” message.
-
@taylor I waited less than 5 minutes. I called around 9:00am, so they were probably just opening up.
-
My NC return was accepted on the 29th of January. Still no news . WMRNC says it hasn’t been processed yet. last year I filed at the same time had my refund before now. IDK what the hold up is this year.
-
@CityQueen: Thanks for the update. How long did you have to wait to speak to an agent?
-
I got that same message to call them regarding my refund. I called yesterday and spoke to an agent. I just gave her my ssn, dob, and address and she pulled it up. Says nothings wrong the system is giving everybody that’s almost finished that message. She said the refunds should be issued very soon, just didn’t know exactly when. Sounded more like an ID verify to me.
-
I called this morning to see if I could get some info to share, however nothing new. The wait time was too long I was on the line for 30 mins waiting on an agent. If anyone else was directed to call to discuss refund amount and got through please post an update.
-
@karen, thanks for the update. I decided not to call because I did not want to get any disappointing news. If it is DD by weekend, I will post again.
-
Thanks Taylor!
I looked around online after posting that. It appears to be a poorly worded version of “It’s done. You might get it tomorrow, or you might get it in 3-4 weeks”. Hopefully this means we’ll see it sooner, rather than later. -
@Karen. I just checked mine this morning and I recieved the same message. I too did not have an issue with my Federal.
-
Got this today….
Anyone else? I didn’t have any issues getting my federal. Not sure what this is about.Please call 1-877-252-3052 for assistance about your refund amount. Select individual income tax and listen for the refund option to speak with an agent.
** Please do not call 1-877-252-4052 as instructed during the main greeting. This number will provide you with the same information received through this online inquiry.**
-
State accepted 1/28….still waiting
-
Thanks; at least we know we’re not alone. Still not processed, as of this morning. With the Winter storm, I’m not expecting movement today. Maybe later this week.
-
I filed 1/29 and it is still being processed. This year has, so far, been the worst for tax refunds. Normally ours moves along with our federal return but our federal return finally moved and state hasn’t.
-
I was accepted on 28-JAN-2016, as of today still says “has not been processed.”
-
NC State was accepted on 1/28 (sent 1/19), but haven’t heard a word since.
Anyone received anything from NC yet? They seem to really be taking their time this year. -
Filed 1/31 nathan!! Lol
-
Filed on 19th accepted within minutes no update on state yet.
-
I filed on 1/30. Accepted same day. Today status still says has not been processed
-
Has anyone from North Carolina been approved for their refund yet?
-
Nothing here either. Filed on 2/8. It would be nice to receive my state one day as I owe nothing.
-
I really need this refund from nc as soon as possible. I filed and got accepted on the 14th and was hoping I would have got my money back before the end of the month..Saturday..anybody else got theirs?
-
Nothing here… surprised more aren’t in the NC forum as they seem to be slow as can be.
