This year getting anything other than a canned response would be a miracle. Georgia will now be paying interest on my refund. They removed all my deductions and they are requiring documentation of my deductions….that is fine; HOWEVER when I called one month after my documentation was received I am told it will be another 12-14 weeks before my account will be reviewed and any refund given. The individual I spoke with on the phone had no clue about my real estate loss deduction…. her comment “I don’t know if your loss in Virginia can be claimed on your Georgia state return. SERIOUSLY? If the IRS accepts a deduction as valid you can bet the state of Georgia does too. SMDH, you get what you pay for when it comes to intelligent employees, seasonal phone help at less than $10 an hour. Meanwhile I’m sitting here calculating the amount of interest I will be paid.

Still waiting, I want to call and ask why I have to wait when others have filed and received refunds WEEKS, even MONTHS after I filed a timely return. Sweet baby Jesus, I see a day trip to Atlanta in my future.

WE FILED ON 1/27/16 RETURN ACCEPTED ON 1/28/16. FED REFUND DEPOSITED ON 2/11/16. NEW MESSAGE TODAY SAYS:
Your tax return has been received and is being processed. Please allow 30 business days to complete processing. An updated status may be available in 15 business days.

SPOKE TO A PHONE REP EARLIER THIS WEEK AND MY REFUND HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR PAYMENT… ON THE GA TAX CENTER LOG IN, MY REFUND AMOUNT IS IN GREEN AND THE ACCOUNT BALANCE HAS JUST BEEN SITTING LIKE THIS FOR OVER A WEEK NOW.

I HAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT….SO WTF? WHY HOLD MONEY FOR NO REASON?

HOW LONG HAVE OTHERS WAITED BETWEEN RELEASE AND DEPOSIT?

YOU KNOW I THINK I WANT INTEREST ON THE REFUND THEY ARE HOLDING…THEY WOULD CHARGE ME INTEREST IF I WAS LATE PAYING…JUST SAYING
