COVID has everything delayed ... most government offices were closed or on reduced staff for 3 months or more. 

 

How do I track my Missouri tax refund?

You can track your refund at the Missouri Return/Refund Tracker page.

 

Contact the Missouri Department of Revenue if you have questions about your refund.

 

Statement from the Missouri Department of Revenue: Generally, the timeframe for issuing refunds depends on when the return is filed and the incoming volumes. For returns filed in January with no problems noted, refunds can sometimes be issued within a week. However, refunds from returns filed in April can sometimes take 8 weeks, even if there is no problem with the return as the state manages its cash resources to meet all of its obligations. The timing of refunds is also affected by the Department's measures to prevent identity theft and refund fraud. Refunds will only be issued when the Department has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the individuals claiming the refunds are not using stolen identities.
