good
Holy moly, that was quick! Filled on 3/9, and the state website says my refund was issued today, 3/18. Was NOT expecting that!
@Mackenzie
When I saw your post about this on the main page I wondered if you were in VT (the comment about having only one area code). One would think that it would be easy to verify! I had gotten caught in the crazy unemployment 1099 fiasco. I know it is going to be a while. I hope that things go smoothly for you once you get your info to them!
@mntgirl I filed on 1/29. Turbo told me I was accepted same day. So when I saw people recieving refunds when the tracker says they’re processed in the order received I was like hmm. Gave it another week and emailed them today, they told me that they wanted the Social Security card and birth certificate of my daughter born in 2020. 🤦♀️ Couldnt they just look in our small ass data base? Lmao. Wish you luck!
FINALLY able to file today, has anyone had any luck getting there refund yet? Just curious.
Mackenzie BeckerHey sam!! 😂😘 so pretty much the tracker for vt returns is screwed but I ended up checking again after I got something in the mail from the treasury saying I owed 91$ or something. I got “return being processed in order it was received.” Everyone’s is messed up not just yours. Hope all is well. Xoxoxo
Anybody have any updates on vermont taxes?
Samantha BushikaThe site is still telling me they have no information on my refund, but they have my homestead declaration and that is processing. How do they have my Homestead Declaration but not my taxes when my honestead declaration is a part of my taxes??
called vermont the woman was quite rude. She told me they knew it was down because there are too many returns coming in at once and uploading to the site is extremely slow. I told her that i had already been accepted and asked how long should it take for a refund? She asks if i filed paper or electronically? I told her I efiled and then she proceeds to tell me that it should take 6-8 weeks before i get it!! What?!? I have never seen them so disorganized :( Is it just mine??
Anybody else having problems with refund status site unavailable? I got a text saying they accepted return february 14 but nothing has changed on the site or it says unavailable :(
Anybody else finding the refund status site down ?
Hello mtngirl glad to see you back again :) This is famsixforever, lost my login sadly :( So another year and another tax season filed on the 30th but still no info showing up on vermont state website yet. Hopefully it shows soon but I dont think their opening season wasn’t until February 12th like the irs.
Hey fellow Vters! Is anyone else stuck in the crazy UI limbo?
Vermont girlI am a Vermont resident that filed taxes on Feb. 8, 2020 both federal and state were accepted on Feb 9, 2020. My federal was DD on Feb 26, 2020 but just got word today April 10th 2020 finally that my state was processed and sent out on April 9th, 2020 and I should receive it in 10-15 days. I hope this helps anyone with questions regarding this years tax returns because I was really starting to wonder if I didn’t do something right this year.
Yes, some have gotten their refund and it seemed to be about 2-3 weeks. I have not and I believe that it is because the feds are holding up my refund and I think it is causing problems with my state. I plan on calling maybe tomorrow to find out if that is the case. Good luck!
PhilipHi all! Has anyone received their refund test.? Can anyone comment on the time line from being accepted to actual day the DD landed?
The darn VT website has been down all evening, how the heck am I supposed to check on my refund :)
Now I worry that something is wrong with mine. Oh well, only time will tell.
Heather:
I usually have my deposit in the second day after it is issued.HeatherHi all;
Filed 31st, accepted next day, today I got message my refund was issued yesterday and I should wait 10-15 days to receive, even though I have DD.
It’s not in my account; Federal was there before I even received notification of refund sent!
Is it normal for state refunds to take a while to appear, once issued?
Many ThanksNo, the morning after I was accepted I had access and have not had a problem.
NatashaAnyone else having issues logging in to check your status? Filed on the 2nd and mine keeps saying they have no information… We called today and they said they dont see any issues however we should have been able to check it in the few days after being accepted…
Hey fellow VTers! Fingers crossed that this is my week!
EmmaSara,
Mine said that as well but it went direct deposit. Although in 2017 and 2016 they sent me a check instead of direct deposit so who knows. Lol.SaraNo deposit for me yet, it said it could take 10-15 days so I’m wondering ever though I said direct deposit if I’m going to see a check in the mail … it will arrive in time (hopefully).
Congrats to all the deposits! My will come soon enough!
My return was deposited this morning as well. Yours should be coming soon mtngirl !! Congratulations Emma! Sara you should probably check your account. Great seeing you all again this year. Now to wait for path to drop and see the federal deposit!!
EmmaMy return was deposited this morning. Fastest state processing everrrrrr.
Oohhhh, I am getting closer! Thanks Emma for the info!
EmmaFiled and accepted 1/27. MyVtTax shows my refund was sent out yesterday.
EmmaJust checked mine and it says my refund was issued yesterday. :)
Sara@mtngirl @familysixforever thanks! I know last year I truly had my refund in a matter of days, I did see a press release the department issued telling people their refunds would be processed faster if they wait until March to file … not sure what that was about but this is truly the longest I’ve ever waited. Hopefully you have updates on yours soon!
Congratulations Sara!!
Yay Sara! Congrats! I think it only took 2 days last year.
SaraMy federal and state were filed at the same time 1/11/2020. I got my federal return on the 29th and when I checked today the states website indicates they issued my refund today. Hopefully I should see is in the next few days.
Mtngirl I’m thinking your prediction may be true. Mine keeps saying being processed in the order they are received and they received it on the 1/23/2020. Please keep me updated if anyone sees any movement.
I have a prediction. If this season goes like it has the past two years, I should 🤞🏻 see my state refund next week. I am a weekly for federal, so I only update on Saturdays. The past two years, once the IRS has finally started to process my return (first Saturday after 15th), my WMR loses it’s bars and on that Monday VT seems to process my refund, and I have it that a Wednesday. Then I get my Fed DDD on WMR the following Saturday, which has always been deposited a week after the state.
As I said, this is how it has worked since PATH started. Curious if it is a coincidence, or a real pattern. We will see next week!
Sadly no updates here :(
SaraNo updates here either, I read somewhere that they really only update on Friday evenings, not sure if that’s true.
Not yet. Not hopeful for any changes until maybe next week. I know that VT has been slow for some, but I have received mine within 2 weeks the last two years.
Anyone seen any movement on the vermont tax status site?
EmmaYep. It showed up the next morning on the website. Now another 5+ weeks until anything changes 🤣
Just checked this am, at least I am showing as filed on the website! Good luck everyone!
Emma, does your return show up on the state website?
EmmaFiled and accepted Tuesday. Now the wait begins. Lol.
My return took about 3 hours to be accepted. Now I wait.
I just finished filing, now I wait to see how long it takes to get accepted. Good luck to all my fellow Vermonters!
SaraHello! Has anyone filed this 2020 tax season and seen an update yet? I filed 1/11/2020 with TaxAct I expected my return to be held but to shock it was accepted the same day but since then there has not been an updated.
Thanks
ROBERTA KURTZIt shows my taxes were received on Feb.13 and I haven’t received them yet. It’s been 6 weeks. With having to give my license info, I’d think it would show it’s me. I have to depend on my taxes to get fuel and pay bills that need to get fought up on. I just don’t understand why it takes so long. Sorry I’m disappointed and it shows. I hope I don’t sound rude.
RobertaJenVt refund status ?? I filed 2/7 and all it says is received and that’s it . Why so slow? All my friends have got theirs back already .
MikeRecieved by vt 2/10 still no news. Very disappointed. No letter. What’s everyone’s else opinion. When did you file and have you received them?
LesThey got mine on 2/5 and still no update
ToddJust got off the phone with Vermont tax department, they mailed a check out on Tuesday instead of Direct Deposit like i asked, seems they can tell people on the tax website this info instead of just your refund has been issued with no more info.
NYS tells you all info on their site, they say your refund has been sent to your bank or a check has been mailed i’m not liking the way Vermont does itI live in NY but work in Vermont so i’m paying both States
ToddThank you Koda, Vermont seems to be in slow mode for sure i hope its Friday Morning instead of next Wednesday seeing how a Wednesday has already went by with nothing done

Reply #2:
I must also add that I cant remember if the 10-12 day window is calendar days or business days. if it is business days, that time window will actually end on the 26th. Vermont claims to have sped up their process last summer, but it’s actuallt slowing down compared to prior years.. At least you know it’s on it’s way, unlike a bunch of us still wandering in the void of the unknown. lolCheers
kodaTodd
I believe they deposit on fridays and have heard of wednesdays, at least prior years they did. So possibly tomorrow or next Wednesday the 20th (the last day of you’re 12 day window). Do check your mail though, for fraud purposes they may send a check even if you’ve opted for direct deposit.
Cheers
ToddIt said my reund was issued on 3/8/2019, here it is 3/14/2019 and still nothing. Anybody know what is going on.
signed for direct depositI filed on 2/8 and just got my notice that it was sent today 3/12
KodaSeems like they are playing games honestly. Their responses are that 6-8 weeks is the normal time frame and anyone whos recieved their refund faster than that is faster than average and “shocking” to them. Though many people are in this boat with us, some have gotten their refund two weeks after filing mid February… A lot of Vermonters are increasingly becoming fed up with this nonsense and no-info waiting game. There are filers all the way back to 1/28 still in the dark…
EmilyStill no update on mine.
LJStill no update for me. Anyone else…?
LJAlso, i now know another person who got their VT refund back, even before federal. What is going on?? This past year i had a new baby so the only thing i can think of is that they are holding it to “look more closely” for that purpose but even that i dont believe. Getting a little frustrated. Ive never gotten it back this late…
KodaVermont did open their tax season 1/28. However some forms were not ready until 2/7. Which does still fit the bill of everything being bogged up because they probably did receive a lot of returns on 2/7 from numerous filers. This still does not explain LJ and company’s situtation having filed before the 2/7 line up though. For me it’s understandable because I filed 2/9.
EmilyMy VT state return was filed and “received” on 2/7 and I haven’t had an update since. I am a NH resident and I went to the H&R Block in Claremont and they filed the federal return on 1/28. I asked H&R Block why they waited over a week to file my VT return and they told me that it was because they had to wait for VT to start accepting the returns… although I thought VT started accepting them on 1/28. My point is that if H&R Block waited until 2/7 to file all of the VT returns that they were holding onto it might have been overwhelming for the VT system.
LJIk not exactly sure whats going on. I called them on Monday and lady said they jusy received their EITC money on February 23rd but i dont know much of that is true seeming how a friend of mine got his state back within 2 weeks and got accepted a minute after i did ok 2/5 and i have another friend who is still waiting… Not exactly sure the deal..
Kodawell I have no clue whats up. I filed 2/9 and figured Id be processed by now seeing as they “process in order recieved” and dates ranging from 1/30 – 2/7 were processed and updated last wednesday. But with LJ’s date of 2/5 not having an update yet, I do not know what to think. My previous theory below is now debunked..
LJI see people are getting deposits and/or finished processing. Im still waiting… Were any of you ACTC or EITC? My return was received 2/5…
KodaDisregard the last message!
I misread Mtngirl’s date and percieved it as the 27th.
In reality it was 2/7 she filed.
So very shortly maybe today or tomorrow we should have an update!Sorry and again Cheers
KodaHeather,
You and I should have updates by the end of the week or quite early next week. As the VT wmr states they process in order recieved. So given Emma and Mtngirl filed a week before us (I filed 2/9) and are processed as of “today”, we should be in the next few batches.
Cheers
I just checked, and mine was issued yesterday, should see it any day now. Deposit was pretty quick last year after being issued.
Emma PriveHeather,
I filed 1/30 and mine was sent yesterday but it says allow 10-12 days to receive it. And I’m also unsure as to whether I will receive a check or direct deposit. The last two years I have requested direct deposit but they have sent me a check anyway. Either way I’m happy because I have never seen Vermont state move this fast with tax returns before.HeatherI e-filed 2/7; with direct deposit. has anyone received their Vermont refund yet?
Emma PriveOh holy hell I spoke too soon. Checked my status tonight and my refund has been sent as of today. I don’t think my state has EVER been sent before my federal.
Now it’s just a guessing game of whether they’ll send it direct deposit or a check in the mail. The last 2 years they sent me a check despite me requesting direct deposit.
Emma PriveI filed 1/30 but you know it’s going to be AT LEAST a month before any progress is made. Good ole Vermont, tax the crap out of everything then take their sweet time with our income tax refunds. Lol.
Me! Did not file until 2\7, so not expected any news yet.
Emma PriveAny VT peeps around this year? 🤔
