I’ve been checking the status pretty much everyday, each day it had the generic please allow 6-8 weeks for your refund to be sent to you. Today I checked, and it gave me the 1-800 number and told me to choose option 3. I called, was on hold for over 40 minutes. I finally got a rep on the phone, she asked my social security number, my name, address, expected refund amount, and where i worked last year, and then she said she released my refund. She said to allow 30 days for my return to be sent to me, but the turnaround time was about 2 weeks. She also said that Georgia has everyone’s refund on hold, and that they just now started releasing them. Maybe that will calm some of all of you guys’ fears. :) If it’s helpful, I filed 1/13. Both federal and state were accepted on 1/19. Got my federal deposited in my account on 2/3, but still waiting on my state. Maybe they’ll give me my money back soon!
@christina1178: Mine did the same thing this morning. Before, it told me to call a number. I called the number a few days ago, and they told me that the message to call that number was a glitch, and that my refund was pending release. This morning, that message has gone away, and it simply says to wait 6 weeks to it to be processed. I did get my federal in my bank account this morning though, and that’s better than a state refund any day!
Just to calm anyone’s nerves who may have seen this error message… “Your return has been received, and it is currently being processed. Please contact the Taxpayer Services Division Refund Inquiry Section at 1-877-GADOR11 (1-877-423-6711) to speak to a Taxpayer Services Representative.”
I had this message showing on my GA state refund status when I checked the status. I thought something was wrong, and everyone else was advising to call the number because something was being reviewed. I called and spoke with a lady just a minute ago. She told me that this was a system glitch and that my refund was pending release. She said not to worry, that nothing was wrong and there was no need to call this number. :) Hopefully I’ll have my $ soon!
