I just wanted to put this out there that yesterday, I woke up to my little state refund. This is the earliest BY far, I’m talking months early for me, even before my federal.

Getting msge saying waiting for routine review
-
JEN13
My return was accepted 3/26/2021
Still says waiting routine review allow 8 to 10 weeks. I think Pennsylvania is the worst. -
Has anyone gotten their refunds? We submitted 12 weeks ago and the update still states 8-10 weeks.
-
Jackvee9
Anyone still waiting on a march 29 mail date or just me ?
-
So, updated from “waiting routine review” after entering the verification code I received in the mail. now says Processed.
-
I got a letter in the mail that was dated MARCH 25 2021, recieved it on April 12 2021 saying that i needed to verify my identity by entering a verification code online, and enter how much my “overpayment” ie; line 29 on my pa return which is basically your refund amount. So I did that on Monday the 12th and as of today the 14th its still saying 4-6 WEEKS BLAH BLAH BLAH like it has been saying for almost 2 months now. Filed in first week February accepted when they opened on 12th.

Has anyone received a refund yet?

Jenirshluv
Anyone know how long it takes after your return processed to receive a dd
-
Anaka
Still no update. Just that same generic 4-6 week routine review message. And yes we are in our 7th week. This is awful
-
MelissaA
Its now April 5th – has anyone seen any refunds yet? We are over 7 weeks now since it was accepted and the site still gives the generic “It is being processed and please allow 4 to 6 weeks”.
-
WHATIS GOINGON!
yup been more then 6 weeks and says the same thing!
-
Anaka
Mine is still saying awaiting routine review, allow 4-6 weeks blah. I called them today because my 6 weeks has passed and still no update. They said mine are still being processed. I asked are they being processed or awaiting the review, she replied they are still being reviewed. PA is a mess this year. I dont know a y person that has gotten their PA refund yet and everybody still has the same message when we check
-
DUH!
They are as bad as the federal irs
-
ImPatiently Waiting

Mike
So is PA processing returns during the pandemic?
-
Christine
Filed my return on 2/15/20. Was received on 2/17/20. First the site said it was received and that it would be 6 to 8 weeks to process. It’s been 6 weeks and now all it says is there is no information on my return. With? I’ve never had this problem before
-
Rg79
From an email I got from the online state department of revenue yes, everything is currently closed. Lord knows when we will get our state refunds. I had to amend mine thanks to H&R screwing up my dependants
-
Tact a tax
Are state refunds delayed due to coronavirus ???
-
Jarrod
Still message saying 4-6 weeks for 2 weeks
-

-
Rg79
And now they are just messing with me. Yesterday when I called I was still waiting on a routine review as of 3/5, now the date changes to today’s date. Broken.
-
Rg79
I think the whole system is currently down
-
This morning mine changed from processed and wait for it to be deposited to my information is not correct.
I have been on processed for over a week and now this. I don’t know what is going on.
-
Rg79
Mine changed today for my routine review. Was 1/30 now as of 3/5. What a bunch of bs
-
Snowgirl
Mine updated today to processed.
-
pagirl
Mine finally updated to say that my return has been processed.
-
Mardra
Mine was accepted 1/27. No info available at this time. When I call it says routine review as of 1/13. This is crazy long wait-tike this year!
-
i got mine yesterday maybe because it was only $86 smh!
-
Rg79
The website hasn’t changed, but when I called the phone number it says the date my return was accepted 1/22 and that on 1/30 it got submitted for routine review. To give it 4-6 weeks for an update. Seems like this happens every year. Always get my refund around the second week of March no matter when I file.
-
Snowgirl
Mine says refund information not available at this time been that way since 1/31
-
pagirl
Does anyone else still have this message?
“The Department received your tax return on 1/24/2020. Refund information is not available at this time.” -

Mike
Was just told they’re working on Jan 19 returns
-
Blessedmomof4
Hopefully we see some deposits soon! I looked back on the past 3 years. I have gotten my state on Feb 21. I’m hopeful. Last year was the longest I’ve ever had to wait though. I didnt get it until March 7th.

Blessedmomof4
@Tati: In my experience, you will get your deposit before it moves to any deposit date. That’s the final message you will see. That means it’s been Approved just waiting for it to deposit.
-
Tati
I’m also at the “processed but not deposited/mailed” message. I’ve never gotten that before as I always had to do some type of verification. Will it jump to approved or will it stay this way?
-
Blessedmomof4
Hi all! I’ve been on the processed refund please allow 4-6 weeks since Saturday. I cant remember when I got approved last year but this is earlier for me. Let’s keep each other posted for when the deposits start to hit. I’ve always gotten it within a week from the Approved/processed message.
-
Olivia
I agree, I’m still at we received your return but no information is avail. Mine return was received on 1/24. I had to send in proof of dependents last year so I don’t know what could be holding mine up this year. I didn’t get my return until the summertime last year from that
-
i have to say this year has been slow
-
Every year I’ve received my refund before their site updates. Still nothing yet though
-
Chad
No sir, it still says allow 4-6 weeks for refund. This is the quickest I’ve gotten it.
-
@Chad, did the pa refund site update?
-
Chad
Direct deposit just hit my account for pa refund. Filed 1/27
-
Jimmmm
Hey all you 2020 PA filers…. I just wanted to say that when PA says 4-6 weeks they really mean it. I’ve always gotten mine in March from PA and I fully expect it to be super late again. Just how it is, I guess.
-
Pennsalt
Efiled 1/27 was approved by 1/28 it says direct deposit was for 2 10 and I’m still waiting please any clarity
-
margaret

Anyone know what time of day PA state returns usually hit direct deposit?
-
MelissA
Has anyone received their deposit today? I switched to the message that refund was approved on Saturday and haven’t received deposit in my account yet.
-
So this morning my PA refund updated to
“Your refund in the amount of XXXX was processed but not yet mailed/deposited. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for your refund to be received.”
I filed 1/30 and my state was accepted 1/31…when should I receive my DD?
-
margaret

DeeNunn
Accepted 2/1. Website still says no refund information is available
-
Kelly
Filed 1/28. Recieved my DD on 2/7. Quickest I ever got mine from PA!
-
Jimmm
In my experience, I ALWAYS get my state refund before any update on their website. Last year I had my refund in the bank and checked my status and it still said no refund info available. PA sucks a lot at returns.
-
Anaka
Sorry for late response. I filed 1/25 accepted 1/27
-
pagirl
@Latasha Do you know if PA updates on certain days of the week? I’ve seen a few people who got their refund today.
-
@pagirl I filed 1/18 accepted 1/21 and mine still says the same thing 😩
-
pagirl
@Littlesdpa I filed on 1/24 accepted on 1/30. Last year I got my refund on 2/11 (Monday). Was hoping for an early date this year too, but no movement as of yet.
-
pagirl mine says the same i filed and accepted 1/29
-
pagirl
Does anyone know if there are certain days that PA updates WMR like federal does? Mine is still showing that they received my e-file but that no other info is available and my refund amount is showing 0
-
My state refund deposited today
-
Mine still hasn’t changed.
-

Kylie J Collins
I think that’s the normal screen, mine is the same. If i remember right it fills in all the 0.00s when it’s done.
-
Kylie J Collins
@coldinpa Are you showing any info on PA WMR? Mine is showing received but has my refund amount as $0 and says No info available. I know if takes awhile, but I don’t remember ever seeing this in past years.
-
Coldinpa
I’m hoping to get my state back this year as fast as last year, but not counting on it. Last year i filed 1/28 and got pa back 2/13. Usually i get it in march.

@Daniel if you reread what I wrote it says accepted NOT approved.

Refund in my account this morning!
Filed 3/14
approved 3/18 (“n/a” disappeared 3/19)
refund received 4/4
website did not update -
Bebe Bucks
Still waiting for PA return. Accepted 1/28/19. Last week updated to processed but not yet mailed or deposited. As of today still no deposit. PA just takes their time. Smh
-
tee
Still no DDD.
Mine was approved right away (filed 3/14, approved 3/18). The “n/a” disappeared 3/19 but still no deposit. I dont understand why it takes so long for them to deposit once everything is cleared.
-
Overit
I filed 1/14, accepted 1/24. No information available the whole time, last week updated to processed but not yet mailed/deposited wait 4-6 weeks to receive. It was deposited it my account last night 3/27 at 11:28 pm. Website did not update.
-
tee
The “n/a” disappeared from the website about a week ago, but still no DDD. Amount was approved and no holds or verification issues. Hopefully, I’ll get it later this week. Fingers crossed,
Any updates ?
-
Randy
Second year in a row for me. State is asking for supporting documentation for my unreimbursed employee expenses. I will send it in once. If they reject it, like they did originally last year, I will be going to see my representative. You would think that since we did this last year, and my employer hasn’t changed, they wouldn’t ask for the same information two years in a row. Oh well.
-
@Rob
Genuine question– in what ways is getting angry helping you with this situation?
-
Mike D
So my refund was accepted on 1/30. I called on 3/18 and the representative told me they just started 2018 returns. Lol on 3/19 my refund was approved so now I’m just waiting on a deposit date in which they say 4-6 weeks. I’m pretty sure when you call the reps have no idea what they’re looking at or what they’re saying.
-
Rob
Just checked bank account; NO TAX REFUND yet, 7 weeks. The anger is mounting !
-
Rob
TraceyMac75 . I filed pa.state tax on Feb.3rd. I didn’t get to an ATM yet today , but I hope it’s in today. This coming Monday will be 8 weeks since I E-Filed . This is ridiculous!
-
Traceymac75
Has anyone gotten DD from pa that filed 2/18/19?? Or around that date? Mine been approved for almost 3 weeks? Maybe more? Just no ddd. Sigh and my federal being reviewed…i give up this year.
-
Rob
I filed 2/5/19 . Called Pa. Dept. Of Revenue this past Monday (3 days ago) . Lady told me my return was sent that day to Pa. Dept. Of Treasury for payment (Direct Deposit) . No updates to website. Still days 4-6 weeks for payment. Maybe someone could tell me how long of a wait it is until I receive my refund. Pa. says 4 weeks if filed E-file , but this makes 7 weeks and nothing yet.
-
Filed 2/15, was told by tax professional to expect by 3/15. Shouldn’t have said that! 3/21, and it looks likes approved, but pending deposit? Says to wait 4-6 weeks… Wondering if thats 4-6 from filing, or approval? Hmmm.
-
Rob
Still no refund as of 1 pm today. Previous posts showed a few people stating they got their direct deposit on March 7 and March 14/15th. Was hopeful for today since its a Thursday like the previous deposit dates. I guess I’m just not that lucky. Maybe tomorrow!
-
Randy
Filed 2/8. No movement yet.
Last year I filed on same date. Late March I received a notice that they wanted documentation for my employee expenses. Sent everything in. Later received a notice that it wasn’t good enough. Resent everything. Another notice that it wasn’t good enough. Paid a visit to my state representative. Miraculously had refund within 5 days after that visit and his phone call to someone in the Department of Revenue. That was late May. Have a sneaky feeling I will be making another visit to my representative.
-
Rob
Still no refund. I guess a deposit could go in anytime of the day . I don’t know. Oh well, just keep checking I guess. Good luck everyone, this makes 7 weeks and nothing yet !
-
Mike D
Accepted on 1/30. Just got off the phone and the rep told me they just started 2018 returns but I see on here some people received desposits so who’s lying ????
-
Rob
Called the bank ; they said Sorry, don’t see anything in your account as far as a tax refund goes. The state took the time to review , process and approve a return but couldn’t take a few more minutes to tap a few keys and send a direct deposit! I bet when they get to their own personal tax return the policy changes then !
-
Rob
Now it states 4-6 weeks ; down from 8-10 weeks yesterday. Deposit amount and all information except Direct Deposit date does not show. Hopefully soon ! Congratulations to the folks who got their Pa. Tax Refund , thousands of people envy you . Lol.
-
SHELLYSGIRL
Finally dd this morning
-
SHELLYSGIRL
It is no joke, mine was approved and it’s been two weeks and no direct deposit. Mine says 4 to 6 weeks for deposit. I asked them why it is if we owe them money they want it yesterday, but when they owe us money, they collect the interest off it for a while and send it when ever they feel like it. This is a joke! I am tired off waiting
-
Rob
Finally after 6 weeks I’m updated to Return has been processed. Please allow 8-10 weeks for payment. YOUR KIDDING RIGHT ! I’ll have to check my bank account later and hope this message was just something they post for a joke. Anybody know how long it takes pa. To d/d after an update like this ? The Lady at the Pa.Department of Revenue couldn’t even tell me what days they deposit refunds or what day of the week their website updates ! Glad you got your S..t together Pa.
-
Barbara Taylor
I filed 2/6. I received my refund to my RushCard yesterday morning. They’d do deposit a few days early. Website hadn’t updated yet with my deposit date. Boyfriend filed 1/31 and still doesn’t have his yet. I would imagineer will this week.
-
Josh
Mines been for a week and no other updates so not sure it has deposit date n.a
-
SHELLYSGIRL
So once updated to processed, how long has it taken anyone to get their direct deposit?
-
SHELLYSGIRL
So accepted 1/28, been processed as of march 1. So I called yesterday she said it was approved as of march 4. But she couldn’t see a direct deposit date yet. Of course she said it used to be 2 to 4 weeks for direct deposit, but since the backlog now we are waiting 4 to 6 weeks for deposit.
-
Accepted by PA 1/28, under standard review since 3/1. Every year it goes under standard review, then DD end of April. Why a review every year??
-
Overit
I filed 1/14 it was accepted 1/24, maybe I’ll get it in June.
-
Anaka
@clarab i filed 1/16 but PA didnt accept until 1/28

Clara, i filed on 02/01

Mines still says:
“The Department received your tax return on 1/30/2019. Refund information is not available at this time.”When did everyone file?
-
Chad
Mine has been deposited at 1:30am
-
Josh
Checked bank nothing probably possibly tomorrow
-
Mine just hit my bank at 8am. I checked the pa website and it still is not updated. I am still on the been processed message. Good luck to everyone
-
Anaka
The website still says mine has been processed but not yet mailed or deposited. But it is definitely in my bank account since 2:30am
-
Anaka

-
SHELLYSGIRL

Anaka

-
I am happy to hear there is movement for some people. I was starting to think we were not going to see it till June or something. LOL
-
Enemy if the state
Yeah i filed with Jackson Hewitt and received the same email. So tomorrow a lot of ya should be seeing our state taxes
-
Blessedmomof4
Hello! I went through Jacskon Hewitt. I got a email this morning stating funds have been deposited to allow 42-72 hrs. I also got a text from Republic that they released to the bank. So the last time i got these messages i got my federal that night. So if u have Netspend and went through Jackson we should see our deposits tonight!!! Finally!!!!
-
Brad
Same here..2 weeks at processed but not yet sent out/deposited…im calling local tax office tommorow and hear they can give an exact date? I’ll update soon
-
Justin
This is crazy… PA you suck. Thank goodness I won’t need to file with them next year. Hopefully we see deposits soon. I will be sure to come back and update you guys once it hits.
I show that it is processed but not yet sent out. Its been at that status for almost two weeks.
-
Stillbrokeinpa
By this time I feel like giving up. It’s been 7 wks. PA what’s going on???
-
this year is definitely the longest I ever waited for this refund. I checked the bank and it is still not there. I am hoping for this week but I don’t know what to think at this point. Thy are apparently having issues.
-
Josh
Finally awaiting a routine review and not completed yet
-
Anaka
For a week now i havent had the no info message anymore, rather it says my return has been processed, yet its still hasnt been deposited. This is ridiculous
-
Alycia
Last year when I got my state refund, I checked the website and it still didn’t have any info. Even after they already have me my money. I would take their website with a grain of salt.
-
Josh
Pa is ridiculous still no infood like really
-
Enemy if the state
What is going on with state ?? This is crazy. The fact that nobody has gotten it makes me feel a bit better but also makes me have so many questions. No sense in calling cuz they not gonna tell me anything. I’m annoyed
-
MOMO
I bit the bullet and called yet again. Nothing new. According to rep. Mine hasnt been looked at. They have it but she said they are just so back logged. I asked was there an offset or anything. She said mam, I honestly do not know. I told her how I had called before. She said yes, I see you called on the 8th. her advice was to 1. Call bacK in 4 weeks. and 2. Create an account on Pa Revenue state website. She said updates are made daily and when they process anything we would see it on there. AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT ANYBODY ON THIS FORUM TO GET IT. THAT WOULD GIVE ME HOPE…LOLOLOLOLOLOL
-
Josh
I still got the no info . Ridiculous
-
Anaka
Since monday mine has said been processed. Just waiting for it to to be deposited. I think i will have it by friday
-
Jarrod
I’ve been sitting at the 4-6 week deposit message all this week. I had the 8-10 week processing message for 24 hours.
-
Kstrk
State accepted 2/1..Just checked my status and it says “recieved return and updating information to our account” please allow 8 to 10 weekes for refund…It’s better than the no info available message, but still very vague..Anyone else have this message?
-
Anaka
@Angela i got my federal refund on 2/22 and every year i filed i have always got my state exactly 1 week after my federal so im hoping i get my atate this friday
-
lindaw@art25
@Angela last year I filed on 02/01 on 02/19 it said my refund was processed and please wait 4-6 weeks for a refund. The refund went into my bank on 02/21. I checked when I got home and it was still on the same message. it never updated to a refund date. the one thing I can say it seems they are running behind this year so it might take longer. I will find out this week.
-
Angela
@Anaka
My federal refund is actually pending for the 27th in my account. I’m not sure how the state does it, because this is my first time filing in PA, but unless they just post it to your account then as of right now it hasn’t been sent to my bank at all. -
Anaka
@Angela based on previous years, ive always got mine within that same week once it says processed. I really think we will be getting our refunds this week
-
Angela
How long after the processed message should we receive our refunds?
-
Anaka
Havent checked in a few days but the sysptem is down. Hopefully we will be be getting our refunds this week, finally
-
lindaw@art25
I just checked and the site is down. Either an update or possibly the weather. there are a lot of people in PA who lost power due to the wind
-
Dottie
Mine says…the site is down right now…why???
-
Jen
Updated with the same new message as you guys also!
-
Chad
Mine updated again this morning without the adjustment notice. 4-6 weeks but won’t be holding my breath.
-
Jarrod
After yesterday’s update, I updated again today, “Your refund in the amount of $Xxx.xx was processed but not yet mailed/deposited. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for your refund to be received.”
-
lindaw@art25
Finally got a new update this morning that I was hoping for. It says my return was processed and please allow 4-6 weeks for your refund. This means it should be in the bank this week. Last year I received my refund right after this message and there was never a refund date.
-
Jen
@Chad I definitely agree next year I’m not filing until mid February 🤦♀️
-
Chad
No kidding. I’m seriously tired of waiting though. I was an early filer with state and federal as I am every year. I will not file early again
-
Jen
@Jarrod that’s a strange how they say that and they don’t really adjust it smh stressing people out for nothing.
-
Chad
My refund status said there is an adjustment made to my refund and to allow 4-6 weeks for refund. It also said I’d receive a letter in the mail explaining the adjustment. I called them and they said they weren’t showing an adjustment but it could be too early to tell. It’s just another waiting game at this point.
-
Jarrod
I’ve gotten that same adjustment message last 3 years and there has never been an adjustment
-
Jen
I called the number it says an adjustment has been made to my refund allow 4-6 weeks to receive it and a letter was sent out to me.
-
Jen
I woke up to the same message too:
our return was received and information is currently being updated to your account. Please allow 8 to 10 weeks from today to receive your refund. If you need additional information, please call 717-787-8201 and a representative will help you.
Hopefully we see some further movement soon since Federal is taking so long. -
MOMO
I just checked. Same message since the 11th.no update for me. According to rep it was received by them on the 24th of Jan. I wonder why Pa is so far behind this year. I am at least glad there is some movement. for you guys. Good gravy. I didn’t hear about any shortages or layoffs for the state. Geeze.
-
lindaw@art25
I woke up to an update. info received and is currently being updated to your account. refund date in still n/a. I have no idea what this means. Never seen this before. Last year the refund went to my bank before it gave me a date so I will just keep checking.
-
jarrod
well my state information finally updated this morning, ”
Your return was received and information is currently being updated to your account. Please allow 8 to 10 weeks from today to receive your refund. If you need additional information, please call 717-787-8201 and a representative will help you.” Yet, when I call I get the same message I have for the last 3 years through the automated system, our refund amount has changed and a notice has been mailed, yet for the last 3 years it never changed…..At least we have movement now. -
Jen
I’m getting irritated with Pa state taxes I’m not understanding what the fuck the hold up is

kimberly A Riccitelli
i electronically filed on 1/30/2018 and you accepted it on 1/31/2018. It’s been over 4 weeks and no updates whatsoever.

No PA update here. Still processing. Filed 1/28. I expect it around the 1st of March.
-
Definitely no movement and I got accepted 1/23 got my ddd for federal today but not state so no one can say we wasn’t accepted before 1/28 because I was and got my fed today the state though OMG somethings gotta be wrong cause it’s been almost a month sat.
-
Jen
Any luck??
-
MOMO
No one said anyone lied.(djzluck) It is not that deep. Based on this forum 99% of us has had no movement. All things are possible. Enjoy your day
-
Djzluck
Anyone saying your PA return was accepted before 1/28 must have used an outside tax preparer or online software. PA’s tax season did not start until 1/28. The PA E-File site wouldn’t even allow any new activity until that date. So if you’re counting weeks since you were accepted, that’s the date to go by.
MOMO, I’ve repeatedly posted that my PA refund was deposited yesterday. I come on this forum every year and have no reason to lie.
-
Josh
My guess for pa will be like March 1
-
Mickie
Pa return accepted 1/23 still no update or deposit to my account. I qualified for relief/forgiveness so I’m getting back everything PA took out. I got this last year for the first time ever too. I also got a notice around this time last year that I had to submit social security card, birth certificates and a current medical or school record for all 3 of my kids. I did and got my refund a few weeks later. I told my tax lady about that what I filed this year and she said PA made that a requirement for 2018 if you had dependents, once you are asked to send it you won’t be required again unless you add a dependent or something changes. I check on the PA website for any notices from 2018 there are none, of I flip to 2017 it shows the ones from last year. I don’t get what’s taking them so long this year.
-
Anaka
I read that PA didnt start processing until 1/28 and it takes 4-6 weeks to complete. So hopefully we start updating friday cause that would be 4 weeks from 1/28
-
MOMO
Well it looks what the rep told me was accurate last week. The good news is that it looks like none from Pa got theirs yet so we really need alert the forum when they start rolling in. At least we all in same boat.
-
Jen
SMDH🤦♀️
-
Franshesweet
Filed 1/28 on PA direct status on site says no information available. Called and spoke to a rep who basically gave me the same info as automated system. I’m under routine review since 1/30 and the reviewers are 2 weeks behind. So I was told to check back in 2 weeks.
-
Jen
I called the Pa revenue number since all I was getting is “refund information is currently unavailable “ it pretty much said the same thing my return was received on 1/26 and as of 1/29 it was under routine review🤦♀️
-
Stillbrokeinpa
Stll no information available. Accepted on the 15th of Jan…
-
Stillbrokeinpa
Accepted 1/15
No information available at this time.
It is now over a month and I have had no update.. This is the longest I’ve ever had to wait for a PA refund. Even back when it use to get mailed out. SMH. -
Djzluck
Mine showed as pending yesterday and sure enough it was in my bank account this morning. Still no update on PA’s WMR
-
Anaka
@jen nope still nothing. Got my DDD for federal
-
Josh
@jen
Nope nothing at all not even processed PA sucks -
Jen
Anyone receive their refund from Pa? I still havent🤦♀️
-
Djzluck
Oh, I also wouldn’t put too much faith into what Eli said below about the limit for tax forgiveness. I earned more than that and still got a refund.
-
Djzluck
I filed my own taxes with PA E-File on 1/28. Due to a couple raises this past year my refund went down by about half but getting something back is always better than nothing…or having to pay in extra!
-
Jen
Yay @Djzluck hopefully this is a good sign for all of the rest of our impatient selves lol
-
Wonderful DJ some movement
When did you file? -
Djzluck
As of 1:45pm on 2/18/19, my state refund is showing as pending in my bank account.
PA WMR still just shows “Your refund in the amount of *** was processed but not yet mailed/deposited. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for your refund to be received.”
Hope you all get yours soon, too!
-
Jen
The Department received your tax return on 1/26/2019. Refund information is not available at this time.
^^^Ive had this message for a while I don’t know what the status of it is though cause the information is “not available “ -
Jen
What site are y’all using to get all that information?
-
jake
My states updated to it being done but no refund sent yet! Its moving!
-
Josh
Now saying it’s under routine review before said no info available submitted accepted 28th
-

Received DD 2/15 -
Anaka
Still nothing yet. And @elli the ppl that are looking for their refunds are us that already filed weeks ago and know that we are due a refund. And my sis grossed 25k and she broke even with state so she is not getting a refund so may be lower than the 28k u stated
-
Elli
I don’t know how many people will get a PA refund because the deductions for children in PA, called Tax Forgiveness, is limited to people with an income under 28,000. This is new.
-
Jen
Still no update on State. I wish they would come through since Federal is backed up so long. Has anyone received theirs yet?
-
Anaka
@josh i agree
-
Josh
Blame wolf
-
MOMO
* finishing up from 2018- not 2017. PA Isnt that bad..lololol
-
MOMO
She might have been telling truth. Nobody on here has gotten theirs yet except cold in pa. I’m thinking maybe he got his federal and was confused.
-
MOMO
I was confused as well. She said they were just finishing up the ones from 2017. She said nobody’s would be processed completely for about 2 weeks. I then asked why was I told to call back and that they had my taxes. She said we do, it just wont be processed. I then asked to speak with a supervisor. She said that she would put me on a list for callback as none one available. a 72 hour call back. smh.
-
Jimzzz
Behind from 2018? What on earth is that about? Sounds like that second rep is the one confused MOMO
-
from experience from the last 2 years you want it to say under review. This means it is processing. last year this was the message i got and the money went into the bank before a ddd was given. as for this year i am still stuck on the no information available. i filed on 02/01
-
Josh
I don’t think pa let any out yet. Whoever said they got it is more likely lying
-
Anaka
Still says refund info not available at this time. Recieved 1/16/2019 but i didnt get the acceptance notification until 1/28. When i call the automated line says ive been under routine review as of 1/28. I cant even get a rep on the line, had to leave a call back number due to extremely high call volume
-
Chad
I saw others claiming they got deposits today
-
MOMO
Ok, Not sure whats going on. I called last week. I was told they had it. It was still under review, but no flags or cause for concern. JUST CALLED A FEW MINS AGO. REP STATED THEY ARE STILL BEHIND FROM LAST YEAR. SHE SEEMED SHOCKED THAT THE PREVIOUS REP GAVE ME THAT INFO AND TOLD ME NO ones has even been touched for 2018. She seemed very shocked that the previous rep had given me any info. I’m in Southeastern PA. Someone else should call. I had high hopes from Coldinpa.
-
Jen
I’m also still seeing information not available at this time.
-
DOR website
Return received 1/22
No information available at this timeCalled and said under routine review as of 1/25. Does this mean my refund will be delayed?
-
MOMO
Congrats to cold in PA!!!! woop woop. Hopefully it updates today or at least is in our banks! My screen still has same message from 01/12/2019
-
Anderson
Received 1/28, still says refund info not available at this time……
-
Chad
Anyone else? Still nothing here
-
Anaka
Congrats coldinpa
-
Jen
Thanks, Me too! Hoping to see something soon!
-
Filed 1/28
-
Jen
When did you file @coldinpa?
-
Jen
Yay @ColdInPa!!!! Finally seeing some movement for Pa filers!!
-
Pa refund is pending in my account!
-
Josh
Wolf will hold it back as long as possible he needs out
-
Jen
Unfortunately for us in Pa it definitely seems that way
-
Anaka
Still nothing… Says refund information is currently not available at this time. Filed 1/16… Seems like PA is the only state that hasnt released any refunds yet
-
Chad
Still nothing 😞
-
Jen mine was accepted on 02/01 but on top it just say’s refund information is currently unavailable. last year i received my deposit before it gave me a dd date so i will just check with the bank once it is approved.
-
Jen
Has anyone had an update on their state refund? Still nothing for me the site still says refund Information is currently unavailable. Looks like many of the other states have already released their funds.
-
If anybody gets it be sure to post and give us hope lol
-
Chad
Nothing yet. I checked last years bank statement and received it 2/12/18 so I’m hoping it will be any day. One thing I know for sure is I received the refund long before they posted a DDD. Pa sucks with refunds..
-
Jen
Has anybody received their refund or atlesdt have a date??
-
Angela
I’m so over this “Refund information is not available at this time” bs…
Seriously is there no updates??
And why does PA take so long. When I lived in MD I got state back a few days after filing! Ugh -
Alicia
Can I at least get a DDD! Do you have to wait 4-6 weeks for that?
-
KelH
Has anyone in Pennsylvania got their state refund yet???
-
Coldinpa
I filed the 28th, this past Saturday i got approved and it says deposit not sent yet, wait 4-6 weeks. Ridiculous that it takes so long for a dd.
-
The last 3 years I have gotten my state 2 days b4 my federal and it’s always been around February 21st
-
KelH
Anyone got there pa state refund yet???? Mine was accepted on 1/30 they received them 1/31 got a processed…has anyone got their refund with my same dates
-
tracy aunkst
Pa state always takes exactly 4 weeks to the day to be deposited, atleast that has been my experience for the last 4 years.
-
Sandra
We were accepted on 1/20 and still no DD.
-
Tati
Mine was accepted 1/19 but nothing yet. The state does suck with timing for refunds but hopefully they do it quickly this year.
-
liv
Mine was just accepted today. State always seems to take forever to get back. Mine was into March last year when I got it
-
Alicia
Has anyone received a DDD from the DOR?
-
Dee
Mine didn’t update but I got my direct deposit yesterday afternoon guys! F/A 2/7, Processed 2/22, Refund 3/6
-
Washpa
Filed 2/3. Still under routine review. Same return that I have done since 1998. Some years I get refund n three weeks, other years it has taken up to two months. Nothing typical when it comes to Pennsylvania tax returns. Lol
-
Franshesweet
@Nijah
I filed January 22nd took an entire month to be fully processed now waiting for my funds to be released -
Nijah
@franshesweet…. When diff you file?
-
Franshesweet
I’ve been processed since February 22nd and still no refund. If my money is not deposited by this Friday I will be giving them a call.
-
Nijah
Anyone receive their money after being processed… I’m still waiting.
-
DeAnn Ballard
I got a letter from the PA Fraud Investigations Unit last Friday that I needed to verify my identity. Now that I have done that…the website stated I have to wait 4-6 weeks
-
Tsargeano
Let us know what they say after you call them. This is beginning to be a bunch of B.S.! PA is really dragging their feet with paying us the $ they owe. I’m tired of waiting, I need this $ now.
-
maryd
So far this AM nothing in my bank…no dd on site (didn’t expect it as they update AFTER I get it). Last year tax season I got it Feb 13th, a Wednesday. That was 4 weeks and 4 days after I filed. Hoping they do deposits on Weds and I’ll get it Thursday. If I don’t get it by Friday I’m calling and speaking to someone.
-
Dee
Nothing yet. Updated to processed but not yet deposited/mailed, wait 4-6 weeks
-
maryd
Still nothing yet. It is exactly 30 days today (4 weeks last Friday).
-
Tsargeano
Did anyone get their PA refunds yet?
-
Tsargeano
I called Friday and spoke w/ a live person only to hear my refund would be deposited in 4-8 weeks. She couldn’t give me any other info. So now it’s a guessing game. I’m hoping my refund is pending for deposit on the 26th like the other person said. But I have no way of checking that info since I use Netspend.
-
J
Pa is slacking bad this year I have never received fed before pa before total opposite this year
-
Lisa
Does anyone what day they update the automated and online systems? Also how long does the routine review take? When I called on Wednesday they said that they were still working on January 29 reviews but I’m seeing others who e-filed after me with routine reviews getting dates…
-
maryd
@littles16 Thanks! My bank doesn’t show pending so it’s nice to hear that someone’s got some action. Pa sure their good ole time this year ;)
-
good morning PA!!
my state is pending in my account for Monday the 26th website still says in review -
Dee
Filed and accepted 2/7
Status changed to being processed and info updating to your account. Wait 8-10 weeks for refund on 2/21
Status changed to processed but not yet mailed/deposited. Wait 4-6 weeks on 2/22.
Hopefully deposit soon! -
Djzluck
Oh, and PA’s WMR never updated with a DDD.
-
Djzluck
As of 12:30 EST my PA refund is in the bank. Filed 1/23, moved to the 4-6 weeks message on PA’s WMR last week. As an added bonus, I’m a PATH Act’er with EITC and somehow my Federal refund was in the bank today, too! Glad I called!
-
Lisa
How long does a routine review take
-
maryd
I am beyond frustrated with PA this year! I ‘m an old woman and I have never, ever, ever waited this long for a PA refund…and I remember the days of paper filings, lol! I updated to show an amount with processed info on it, oh, about two weeks ago tomorrow?? This is crazy.
-
Filed/Accepted 1-23.
Has said processed since 2-7. Refund amount is there. Have it set up to receive a check. Nothing. 4 weeks was up yesterday. I have no idea what is going on. Try to call the number and it’s always busy. Beyond frustrated. :( -
Jarrod Anderson
@lisa it means they are manually reviewing yours, id xall tomm
-
Lisa
What does awaiting a routine review mean
-
Lisa
Filed on 2/3 accepted on 2/3 but nothing
-
Does anyone know, does your federal DDD also go for your state?
-
Jarrod Anderson
That review lasted till april last year for me
-
Franshesweet
I just tried calling and the phone is busy. I filed 1/22 website says no info available and automated system says I’m in routine review. I’ve NEVER waited this long.
-
Jarrod Anderson
Filed 1/25 accepted 2/7, turbo tax, fees deducted, called to verify, was told it was processed wait 3 weeks, you will get deposit before a deposit date……
-
Wheresmine
Filed 2/4
Accepted 2/5Just got the deposit on my netspend card at 7:09 this morning. I used TurboTax and had fees deducted.
The website says that my return has been processed but not sent/deposited yet so I got my money before the website updated.
-
Liv
That’s crazy they haven’t dep it yet. I saw someone on the main forum say they got theirs today I wonder what’s taking so long.
-
Jarrod Anderson
Still 0.00 for me
-
Jarrod Anderson
Call tomm
-
@jarrod I don’t recall choosing that option. And also when I call the refund line it states that I must wait 4-6 weeks for return im confused,
-
Jarrod Anderson
Simply put, a tax carryforward is an IRS or state income tax rule that allows a taxpayer to save an unused deduction, credit or loss, and use it in a later year.
-
Your tax return was received on 1/25/2018 and your overpayment has been processed as a carryover credit.
Return Filed Date 01/25/18
Requested Refund Amount $ 368.00
Offset Amount $0.00
Refund Amount $ 368.00
Refund Mailed/Deposited Date
What does this mean.? What credit tf? -
tracdraa
Thanks I will call them on Tuesday
-
Liv
Trac, I agree with Jarod Mine said the same thing for almost a month. They put a ticket in and I was done processing within the week
-
Jarrod anderson
@tracdraa
I would call them on tues
-
tracdraa
This is what mine has been stuck on…..
The Department received your tax return on 1/31/2018. Refund information is not available at this time. -
Andrew
I filed with turbo tax for both on 1/19 and started processing later that day. I got my fed on 2/5 already and still waiting for a measly 200 from The state of pa, now im hearing people are getting there and i didnt even have to ve reviewed. Thry hac3 no problem taking the money all year but when they gotta give it back ugh, i just want the money i sw3at for 😣😣
-
For the past 2 weeks mine has said….your refund has been processed but not mailed or deposited…..Like come on what’s the problem just release or
-
Tracy
Filed 2/1….didn’t check status until 2/7 or 2/8 and I already had the 4-6 week message….received money in bank account this morning….Last year I had that routine review message for over a month and it took about 2 months to receive my refund. This is the first year I ever received my state before my federal….I’ve been checking this Pa forum for awhile now, hope all you guys get your refunds soon!
-
Liv
I Never understood why they wont Give you a date or time or time frame. It really does show up out of nowhere. I’m surprised you haven’t gotten yours yet it’s been over a week. I also think it’s crazy I went from nothing to processed within like 3-4 days. They have a mixed up system
-
Jarrod Anderson
So i emailed asking about deposit times and got this back….
Refunds are processed throughout the week. You will actually receive the deposit before the Department will be given the date it was deposited. It can be deposited at any point within 3-4 weeks from 02/08/2018.
-
Tsargeano
I filed on 1/29 and was accepted on 1/30. I just checked the online system and it just says the received my refund request. So I called them a little bit ago and spoke to a woman and she says that it is still being processed and something about an “adjustment on line 1”, I asked what that means and she didn’t know. She said to call back next week if nothing changes on their website. It’s always when you really need the money that this kinda of stuff happens.
-
Liv
Mine updated today as well to the same msg. I’m glad I called when did about it. Hopefully the refunds will be here’s soon
-
My online updated showing my adjustment and new refund amount but no deposit date. So I called and was told my refund is approved and may take another 3-4 weeks to be deposited. She did also mention it could be sooner, but that is the time frame they provide people.
-
Jarrod Anderson
Does it have a deposit date?
-
i just checked pa and this am was the generic message and i checked just now said it will be deposited so they are doing something and i just filed on 2/6
-
jarrod
Mine said 8 to 10 weeks for 2 days, then updated last Thursday to 4 to 6 weeks for a deposit. I called just for giggles and it was approved she explained it could take up to 3 weeks to receive the refund
-
Liv
@mark yes mine updated to the same to the same message today. I had to call earlier this week about my refund and it was lost in the que. they didn’t show any notices or anything on my account so hopefully it’ll update again soon
-
Marky mark
Why does my state pa refund say 8 to 10 weeks to update account and have refund by then. No way it should take another 8weeks to go thru. Anyone else get the 8 to 10 weeks on pa state??
-
Andrea
My PA return was accepted on Jan. 23rd…I’m still on the 4-6 week message also.
-
Jarrod Anderson
I was april last year due to id verification and w2 verifications…..ive been approved for over a week now and have been sitting at 4 to 6 weeks for deposit for approx 6 days…seems everyone else from tbat timeline has gotten theirs
-
Liv
They’re taking their good ole time this year. Hopefully it’ll still be this week I think I got mine the 15 or 16 last year
-
Jarrod Anderson
Still nada
-
Jarrod Anderson
Mine updated to 4 to 6 week deposit message last thursday…..im hoping it happens this week
-
SnowinPa
I filed 1/24…went under a routine review a few days later..last Tuesday it updated to processing my return…Wednesday it updated to I owe a $10.00 offset but my refund was approved minus the offset…it went on to say 4 to 6 weeks…but my refund was in my account this morning. So yes it updated more than once a week and once you get that 4-6 week message it’s coming very soon after that!
-
jarrod
7177878201
-
Melissa a
What is the number to call to get an actual person?
-
Liv
@jarrod well your response scared me enough to call lol luckily no bad news she’s said it some how got missed in the que so she put a ticket in so it can be reviewed this week. I’m thankful of no I’d verification or anything at least yet so hopefully I’ll at least update online. She did say they were working on returns received the 29th if that helps anyone else out
-
jarrod
@liv last year they did not mail a letter until 2/23 and I was accepted at the end of Jan and placed in a review at the same time. I called their 717 number and spoke to an agent who informed me what I was going to need to mail back and I did so before receiving the notice
-
Liv
Mine was accepted 1/22 and still on awaiting routine review so who knows? And I still can’t see anything online only when I call. I would think if I was under review I would’ve got something from them by now
-
Jarrod Anderson
The review takes a while. Last year i was accepted jan.24th got hit with a review and did not recieve my refund until april 23rd
-
maryd
Someone just posted from PA (on IGMR FB) that their state (PA) tax was deposited, they filed 1/26. Anyone else? I was accepted 1/26 also but still nothing from state yet. When I call I get the “…awaiting review…” generic message.
-
Liv
I think last year mine took about a week or so after I updated to that. Fingers crossed for you!
-
Jarrod Anderson
Hoping this week
Your refund in the amount of $xxxxwas processed but not yet mailed/deposited. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for your refund to be received.

@Djzluck did you recieve a deposit yet? I few have that updated on the 8th with us
-
Jarrod Anderson
I updated twice this week
-
Liv
Yea it seems to be extra slow this year it says I was accepted 1/16 yet still being reviewed. Who knows maybe I’ll get lucky and get a deposit without the site updating. I looked back to last year and the site updated on a Sunday but it seems like Thursday’s this year?
-
Djzluck
Today the PA WMR switched to read “Your refund in the amount of ***** was processed but not yet mailed/deposited. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for your refund to be received.” Progress!
-
Franshesweet
Filed on Jan 22nd still nothing so I called was told my refund was accepted on Jan 24th and they are behind on doing routine reviews mine would be looked at in a few days and to call back next week if nothing updates on website. Guess I’ll continue to wait 😒😒😒 Last year it only took 10 days after I filed smh
-
Jarrod Anderson
Belinda mine had that displayed for 4 days before changing to the allow 4 to 6 weeks for a deposit
-
Belinda
When the status changes to return has been processed but not yet mailed or deposited anyone know how long it takes till it does deposit?
-
Jarrod Anderson
Yes my status shows online and when i call
-
Liv
Does your status show online? Online mine shows it was received but says there’s no info available on my return (refund amount shows though) but when I call the automated line it says it was received and going through routine review? The website looks a little diff this year as well.
-
Jarrod Anderson
Your refund in the amount of $xx.xx was processed but not yet mailed/deposited. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for your refund to be received.
-
Jarrod Anderson
I went through the review last year, its quicker to call and see what they need. Otherwise they will snail mail the request once you get what they need back to them it takes about a month to see a ddd…..this year i got lucky
-
Fantasia
Does anyone know what happens if you don’t file the “PA SCHEDULE UE
Allowable Employee Business Expenses” form? Do they just hold your tax return? -
Jarrod Anderson
Mine states….”Your return was received and information is currently being updated to your account. Please allow 8 to 10 weeks from today to receive your refund. If you need additional information, please call 717-787-8201 and a representative will help you.”
-
Franshesweet
I filed on Jan 22 and still haven’t updated online but when I call in the automated system says I’m awaiting a routine review😒😒 last year I got my state back in 10 days not sure what’s going on this year.
-
jarrod
It will update stating “awaiting routine review,” just an fyi the site updates once a week. Everything about a pa state refund is long slow process.
-
Fantasia
How do you know your selected for ID verification?
-
Tara
Filed both state and federal 1/26, Pa refund site showed nothing for days! Yesterday it finally showed our information but not processed yet. PA takes forever it seems.

Anaka
Filed federal and state on 1/19. Federal was accepted 1/20… PA return still hasn’t been accepted. I filed with taxact. This has never happened before. IDK what’s going on. I called taxact, they said my PA return is still awaiting acceptance, it may have been backlogged. Whatever that means smh

Tracy Draa, Did you get a message or a letter about verifying your id? I’ve been waiting 26 days and I’m still on the routine review message that I had on day 1….I’ve always received my pa state tax refund in 17-21 days…nothing new, simple return, not sure what’s up.
-
Tracy Draa

-
accepted 2/1 and still on the routine review message….usually have my dd by now.

Just to clarify that last post, my PA refund was in the bank today.
-
Djzluck
Took a chance, called my bank, and my DD is in there! Not sure how that worked out on a Federal holiday but I’m not complaining.
-
Tsargeano
I just checked my netspend account for the 3rd time today and Nothing was in there.This is starting to get really old.
-
Keri

-
Krista

-
Djzluck
Still nothing from PA, but Federal WMR updated to show a DDD of 2/23!
-
Pa website hasn’t updated for me it still says 4-6 weeks, but just checked my bank and its there!

-
Justme23inPA
My bank doesn’t show pending amounts but I think mines is the 21st also. There are others that got their refunds and I noticed a pattern of 9-11 days after it was processed. I had actually thought the 21st before I read your post. Now you gave me hope!!!!!
-
Djzluck
Littlesdpa, are you saying that PA’s WMR updated for you or that you checked your bank again after you got to work?? Just trying to be clear on where your good news came from! :)
-
Good Morning PA~

justme23inPA

-
Djzluck
I braved my fears and called the bank…just my paycheck today, no PA refund. Also accepted on the 9th. Our car has been in the shop for a month now, so this check can’t come fast enough!
-
justme23inPA
Anyone that was waiting get a deposit today? Im afraid to check lol. Approved 2/9.
-
Nothing here yet and I’ve been processed since last week! :(
-
Still nothing here either! I’m bout done checking for the state or the federal cause pa site still says the 4-6 week message and it’s very annoying lol no direct deposit date yet!
-
Tsargeano
I’m still getting the same message that my refund hasn’t been deposited yet, please wait 4-6 weeks. Wtf?!
-

-
Andrea

-
Still nothing for me….. filed and excepted the 25th, I would love for it to come before my paycheck next week. 🤦🏽♀️🤔💩
-
Justme23inPA
Still nothing for me. I processed 2/9/17 and it hasn’t been mailed/deposit yet. I am beginning to see a pattern with the people who did get refunds. Its 9-11 days after they processed.
-
Still nothing! Been accepted since the 24th and been done processing since the 9th! PA is very slow this year!
-
Tsargeano
Still Nothing, I filed and was accepted on 1/17.
-
Thank you and I wish you all good luck and hope yours all come soon!!
-
@stephanie sweet! Thanks for the hope! Congrats btw
-
Hey guys,
Just wanted to update that my pa state return did deposit this morning into my account but pa revenue site still says “processed but not mailed/deposited please allow 4-6 weeks” very very slow this year but I filed and was accepted 1/25 and have had that message since February 3 or 4th, and had eic and actc so I don’t know if that was the hold up or not -
Anyone know when they update?
-
Still waiting for them to deposit! Been processed for a week now!!!! WTH PA
-
Justme23inPA
Mines is at processed but not yet mailed. Tomorrow will be a week that I have had that message. They received my return 1/20. There are people that filed after me that got their money already.
-
Tsargeano
Last year my PA refund was deposited fairly early. This year is ridiculously slow. I’m still stuck on the Please wait 4-6 weeks for a deposit crap. Just give me my lousy four hundred bucks already! Cmon man.
-
Tico Tico
Same here just waiting for PA to release refunds.
-
PA- is slow asf this year wouldn’t be surprised if there broke lol i had that 4-6 weeks message now for a week
-
I filed and was accepted on the 23rd and was wondering why i’m still on a “routine review” message..apparently my return went thru the 1st routine review and was bumped into a SECOND “routine” review ..apparently this is very common (yea right) and my return was placed at the 2nd manual review on Feb 8th..now here’s my favorite part, they review in order by date they received and update weekly to the next batch and they are currently reviewing in returns they received on Jan 25th! so if they take one week to go over one day it looks like they will get to mine in a few months..thanks PA. Has anyone had this happen to them before?
-
MarriedwithChildren😲
Filed and accepted 1/27. Says it has been processed but not yet mailed/deposited. How much longer do I have to wait?!?!
-
Happy Sunday
Still waiting in PA!
God willing it will come this week for us all and may he bless us 😘 -
Thank you both was just worried I might have messed something up because I saw people said there’s said approved instead of processed but again thank you and hope everything works out smoothly
-
Djzluck
Stephanie, I agree with PAfiler. The only other thing I’d say is check your account each morning, too. My DD was in the bank before PA’s WMR updated the past two years.
-
Stephanie I would say you are in the lucky group and now you just have to be patient :) There are still many of us who filed before you that are still in the “waiting for routine review” and have not seen any movement at all.. every year when it says 4-6 weeks it usually takes a week or so, yours is at least on its way and I would just continue to check every morning :)
-
Ugh I’ve been looking for info on PA state refund and getting all kinds of different info and no clear answers. I filed 1/25 accepted that night a little before 7pm. Got the routine review message, then few days later got the processed message saying 8-10 weeks and then Saturday 2/4 got the message about it being processed but not mailed/deposited 4-6 weeks. Thought for sure I would have gotten it today or at least a direct deposit date. I do have eic and actc but I didn’t think that affected state return but I don’t know anymore. Last year I filed on 1/19, accepted next day and then direct deposited on 2/5. Any information is greatly appreciated :)
-
I filed on the 23rd accepted the 24th and my message is STILL” currently under routine review” Is ANYONE who filed this early still under the same message? It appears that most have switched to the 8-10 or 4-6 weeks message.
-
good morning- anyone out there get a dd for there pa state yet?
my message changed 3 times now it says my refund was approved but not sent yet? when is it coming state never took this long for me -
Djzluck,
Okay thank you! Im gonna look and see if mine changed yet. -
Djzluck
Amber. I had the same 8-10 weeks message yesterday. Now this morning it updated to the 4-6 weeks message. Usually it’s not too long after that before we get our DD.
-
So today i updated from the “currently under a routine review” statement to this “Your return was received and information is currently being updated to your account. Please allow 8 to 10 weeks from today to receive your refund. If you need additional information, please call 717-787-8201 and a representative will help you.” What does this mean? I don’t remember if i’ve ever seen this before and i’ve been googling it and found a few other people that have had this same message but they never stated what it meant or what happened! Please Help!!
-
Hey!
Just wanted to let you all know that as of today I updated from “waiting routine review” to “processed wait 8-10 weeks” I have eitc and path from federal so I feel like progress is slowly but surely happening in PA. Accepted 1/23 -
Liv
My pa tax refund updated sunday to say it was approved but not yet deposited or mailed. I was accepted the 22nd or 23rd
-
Filed the 23rd and have never received the “waiting on routine review” message in any other years. Has anyone received that in past years and it processed right through or does this REALLY mean I am going to join the ” I have been placed in review and will have to wait for weeks and months to get my return” club?
-
Liv
I wasn’t sure if the other msg came through Sorry if it comes twice. Yesterday i had the msg it was going thorough routine review but today i saw this msg which I’ve never seen before Your return was received and information is currently being updated to your account. Please allow 8 to 10 weeks from today to receive your refund. If you need additional information, please call 717-787-8201 and a representative will help
Not sure if i should call them or just wait? Any suggestions?
-
Liv
When i checked my refund status today it said this Your return was received and information is currently being updated to your account. Please allow 8 to 10 weeks from today to receive your refund. If you need additional information, please call 717-787-8201 and a representative will help.
Im not sure if i should call or just wait?? Yesterday i had the msg it was going through routine review. I dont remember ever seeing this msg. Any suggestions?
-
@Liz yea its finished. Its crazy because I seen a few that filed after me who are processed. But yet they claim that they work the returns in the order they are received.Lies!
-
Liz
Mine says it’s been processed but not mailed yet. Wonder if that means it’s finished processing.

Last year I got the ” return received waiting for a routine review” well it took until September for them to mail me a letter stating they denied my work related unreiembursed expenses, which I have every receipt and log book for anyway I’m there again with the same message and I’m assuming they will disallow my unreiembursed employee exsenses which means they will not refund me anything. Anyone know how I can claim my work related expenses and NOT get denied?

Due to resequencing, we actually got our PA refund before Federal last year. We’ve also had the refund in the bank before PA’s WMR updated the past two years.
-
So I learned that PA updates the refund status WEEKLY. Its not like the irs that updates its sytem over night. So refunds could be processed but we will not know until the weekly update. Not sure when that is. I know PA takes forever but im hoping that they push them out fast this year.
-
That info helps! Thanks.
-
Djzluck
Just my experience, but for the last 3-4 years, we’ve received our PA refund in about 3 weeks from the date we filed. Last year I filed on 1/26/16 using the PA Direct File site and the refund was DD on 2/9/16. In 2015 I filed on 1/20/15 and got my PA refund on 2/12/15.
-
This is my first time getting a state refund in years. I got married and when I filed for 2016 I qualified for a refund this time. I can remember Pennsylvania taking forever to issue refunds. I checked my status earlier and it says that its waiting routine review. So I guess I have to wait weeks for them to review it and weeks after its processed. Other states get theirs back in a few days.

I am in PA, last year I filed in January, was told 6-8 weeks to process and I got my refund in August. Didn’t have to send anything in, they were just slow. I filed on the 23rd this year and got the same 6-8 week message, hoping they are a lot faster this year.
-

My return was completed on the Free Direct File page on the gov. I file 1/25. My message is
“Your tax return was received on 1/25/2017 and is currently awaiting a routine review. Our examination has not yet been completed.”
It says this every year. Then it goes to processed, then takes 3-4 weeks.
-
Anyone from PA here???? Any refund status?
-
