Anyone else file before the end of January and still waiting for refund? I am seeing on other blog posts, people who filed in Feb already received. Thanks

Thanks Fanfare. Return is showing as received and "Data entered" is checked off, still in "Processing" status.

Was finally able to get through to an actual human being at NJ Dept of Taxation. Dial 609 292 6400, option 5. Keep dialing back until you get through the message saying due to high call volume your call cannot be transferred to an agent. Eventually you will get through. Spoke with an agent who took my info, researched the status. I have been told my return "just" moved to Approved. Will give it a day or so to confirm online.

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities, There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals. Some states process returns quickly and some are very slow.

Accept 1/28 still "processing". Why have people who filed at the end of Feb getting their return before me? I am never using turbotax again.

Same with me. NJ "accepted" my return on Feb 6. Today is April 7 and it's still showing as "Processing".

Finally approved. I checked Sunday and was approved for DD April 10th. If you called and they said everything looks good just hang in their it looks like. For some reason they seem to be extra slow this year.
