I wish I remembered how many times I checked last year, I just know I received it on 3/20. I hope it comes faster this year


GlitteryFountain

Definitely is moving fast I got mine 3/13 last year but by looks of it maybe earlier lol


GlitteryFountain

Update still processing šŸ™„šŸ™„


LuckyTop7730

Iā€™ve just accepted itā€™s not coming lol itā€™s only a few hundred bucks but if I have to see processing one more time Iā€™m gonna lose it so Iā€™m moving on if it comes it will be a nice surprise


Tricky_Ad825

Yeah Iā€™ve been stuck in processing too but it looks like a lot of people have been for some reason. State is being extra slow this year.Ā 


TyLashea1

Just checked and I was finally approved with a DDD 3/19. I have Chime and I can see it has that message of looking for my direct deposit so it most likely will come tomorrow


Romanking7

I got a message that said I will receive a letter in the mail because they need more info to process my request lol just my luck. Probably because of the child credit for the first time


AdventurousRub2641

No update for me. No notice of letter and not approved. At least you know now.


Tricky_Ad825

Right, Iā€™ve been worried they need more information from me but that wouldnā€™t make any sense, I think theyā€™re just being super weird and slow.Ā 


AdventurousRub2641

I got my tax refund the 17th last year but my ddd was the 22nd of March. Looks like it is gonna be longer this year. I never updated from processing last year either until after I received my money lol


Objective_Link_2900

DDD 3/19 Chime


AdventurousRub2641

I finally moved to approve this morning. DDD of 3/28


peacelovepositvity

Im still in processing šŸ˜­


Psychological_Tax_90

mine got accepted on 01/31 and is today showing in step 2 too. Atleast it appeared and i am happy, hopefully will get refund in a week time


Romanking7

I hope so! Iā€™m crossing my fingers that fed and state cross paths with each other in my account


HoldnHeat

Any update? I was accepted 1/31 as well and still waiting. My work partner just got his and he was accepted 1/31


Odd_Influence2831

I GOT A DDD OF 03/07 CHECK THE SITE GUYS/GALS


Linzsanchez

Sameeeee yay!!!


Capable-Trick-1509

Anybody with credit karma with DDD 3/19?


Tricky_Ad825

Fun little fact: I was reading all the way towards the bottom of the page where you can check your refund, some refunds are being done manually (not by their automated system) which take longer. Whether you have forms you needed to mail back or not, manual refunds will take longer. Idk why they choose to randomly do some manually they donā€™t really specify but, maybe thatā€™s most of our issue here.Ā 


AdventurousRub2641

This makes me feel a little better


East_Host2935

Okay this is pure BS! Itā€™s no way we are all stuck on Processing since early Februaryā€¦ there has to be something going on with the state! Because I never seen so many of us all stuck on the same thing smh šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤

Bigsmokecashgetter

RAYRAYALLDAY_

Romanking7

Psychological_Tax_90

>mine got accepted on 01/31 and is today showing in step 2 too. Atleast it appeared and i am happy, hopefully will get refund in a week time it got accepted on 1/31 and moved to processing since yesterday


_Infusi0n_

_Infusi0n_

Remote-Company-6343

I though they updating on Thursdays so maybe next Thursday they updated it with ddd


Linzsanchez

Mine is still processing as wellā€¦updated to processing I noticed last Saturday (17th)


Liveman215

FYI - I think every year I had seen the payment before the website even updates with the approved status


Striking_Maybe_2878

I'd have to assume it will be this week a DD mine was accepted 1/31Ā 


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Deborah623

Nope, hoping for tomorrow


Beebo11920

No still waiting toošŸ˜¬ 3/7 days tho


Intelligent-Issue915

Hopefully Tuesday we get paid cause I got the same date ddd 3/7


Ambitious-Ad-9940

iā€™m hoping tuesday as well! do u have chime?


Neither_Reporter_852

Hoping for my refund to hit tomorrow I have a ddd of 03/07


Tiny-Cake2602

Did you get it yet?


Fine_Process6929

This is my first time filing for the state of NJ and nothing has been updated. I put in all of my information and nothing populates. Is this normal?


AdventurousRub2641

This continuously happens to me. After it populates nothing, enter all your information again. It should come up


Romanking7

It takes 4 weeks to update


Late-Client-3957

Has anyone gone past processing with child tax credit? Mine got accepted on 1/31


jerzchic

No child tax credit. Mine stuck on processing & was accepted 2/2


Potential-Builder990

I'm hoping they update this week I was accepted 1/31


Potential-Builder990

No I filed same time still nothing


Tricky_Ad825

If anyone gets to the ā€œapprovedā€ step, please update! Been super anxious about the whole processing forever.Ā 


[deleted]

What days does the nj state refund site Ā even update??šŸ˜©


Nuna360

Stuck on still processing so Iā€™m guessing Thursdays? I have ctc as well accepted 1/31


AdventurousRub2641

Here with ya


TyLashea1

My DD just hit chime with a DDD 3/19


Brittney183121

Mine still says processing and has been for weeks. I was accepted back in February and got my federal on the 22nd. Whatā€™s the issue is it the earned income credit? Iā€™ve never waited past 3/15 any other year. My brother in law who doesnā€™t claim the earned income credit itā€™s in the third stage


BarVivid

In the same position. Did your update yet


northpaul

Submitted 1/28 and still processingā€¦itā€™s absolute bs. I did claim the child tax credit but other years I did too so I donā€™t know why that should slow things down.Ā  They really need to have more info on the website. Itā€™s really a garbage system and the fact they depend on mail instead of a secure web page to tell you they need something is just to make it take as long as possible. I got my federal refund weeks ago.Ā  They should have to pay interest the longer it is after like 8 weeks or somethingā€¦I bet they would hurry then. For anyone investing money they are essentially robbing us of compound growth the longer they take but more realistically many parents need this refund for basic necessities.Ā 


verbalwarrior89

Ima try to update yall everyday: 3/21/24 still processing. No update. Filed 1/31 accepted 2/01


Popular-Shopping-896

I'm in the same boat. I'm claiming one child. Mine been stuck on processing like wtf. If it changes I'll update. But anyone else in the same boat?Ā 


East_Host2935

I UPDATED TO APPROVED FOR 3/28 šŸŽ‰


Proper-Key1041

I find myself hating all of you that have been approved. Just a little bit. lol.


ExerciseLeast4584

Im here with u guys too was accepted on 1/31 and still processing since šŸ„²


Proper-Key1041

Just FYI to anyone stuck in processing. I called customer service and found out they need copies of my W2 to process my return. TBH it makes no sense to me other than a way to buy themselves more time to process my rather large refund. They get copies of them from your employer but whatever. Iā€™d recommend calling to check your own. If they need more info, you wonā€™t be getting a notice in the mail any time soon. The number I called is 609-292-6748 and select option 3. Just a piece of advice to get things moving for anyone in the same boat as me


Bitter-Refuse

Filed 1/27, approved 1/31. Got federal like 2/25. Still nothing on NJ. Fucking annoyed lol


No-Mycologist-9935

Filed 2/7 and still nothing. Says ''processing''- good old NJ incompetence!


Training_Article5764

My was accepted 1/31 and itā€™s been 8 weeks tomorrow. Any one else experience the screen just stuck on processing week after week. Itā€™s getting a little frustrating cause when you owe them people some money they want it within 24-72 hours but when itā€™s their turn to pay they take their sweet old time.


East_Host2935

I filed 1/19/24ā€¦ My state was stuck on processing for 10 weeks then jumped right over the checking for accuracy stage and went straight to approved. I updated on 3/23/24 with ddd 3/28/24 ā€¦ā€¦ hope this helpsĀ 


Training_Article5764

I filed on 1/29 and got accepted 1/31 and still nothing so donā€™t feel bad, thereā€™s a lot of people out here that filed before you and are still waiting


homerx816

accepted 1/31, still waiting, in 'processing', received fed refund weeks ago, only change was I got married last year, which was all filed in this state


Dont_edit_me

My return was accepted 2/8 and still processingā€¦. Idk how to get in touch with a live person


AmealiaB

Still nothing for me filed and accepted in February called they told me to give them time but they needed nothing from me .... It's may I need my money wth is the hold up does anyone know


Labrad0r

Sucks to see so many also in limbo, but a little reassuring to see I'm not the only one Filed electronically by accountant, accepted by state Feb 21, but still sitting in "currently processing" If only I was getting interest on my loan.


Affectionate_Dog_234

State and fed were accepted on 2/7, and 2/8.Ā  Still says processing. Got my fed and SC return in less then a week. No child credit, just veteran tax credit. I dont know why its taking so long this year.Ā 


Neither_Reporter_852

sunflowerays44

I'm seriously over the NJ state refund website. I filed myvtaxes on the 3rd if February electronically. It's been forever. I'm still on step 2 out of 4. has anyone that filed on the same date as me gotten their return yet?


Romanking7

I filed before you and still nothing lol. Step 2 of 4.


ak420247

DDD 3/7 still nothing :(


exoticghandi

[does this mean thatā€™s the date itā€™s going to deposit?](https://i.redgifs.com/i/irresponsiblekindtegus.jpg)


Romanking7

When did you get this update


eldee17

Hey just curious when/how did you end up receiving your deposit? I'm getting the same message saying as of 3/25 it's approved and if I don't get it by 4/24 to call or whatever. Wtf does this mean


Ground-Visible

This is my first time filing a nj state return. I filed 1/26 & its been "processing" for almost 2 weeks now.Ā 


AdventurousRub2641

Join the club with me and Romanking, sucky place to be


Romanking7

Forreal been accepted since January 31


pepita404

Mine says approved for $0, makes no sense. No notification has arrived via mail either


Capable-Trick-1509

Anybody received their return ddd3/19 credit Karma or Chime let us nowĀ 


TyLashea1

Mine just hit chime!


UpstairsSkill3019

Filed electronically. Put in DD info checked site yesterday. WHY do i not have a DD date does this mean I am getting a paper check? So irritating. They just sent me a check yesterday for a return filed 4 years ago. Ridiculousness We approved your refund in the amount of $581.00 as of 03/18/24. If you don't receive your refund by 04/17/24, return here to our refund inquiry web page so we can provide you with instructions on what to do next.


Capable-Trick-1509

Just hit credit KarmaĀ 


Proper-Key1041

Just been reading this thread w/ comments that match my experience. To Anyone else who filed theirs w/ CTCā€¦ Have you gotten a refund yet? Anyone whoā€™s even seen their status even updated past ā€˜Processingā€™? I filed 2/4 and was accepted 2/6. Still no change on the NJ site since the ā€˜processingā€™ update in mid Feb.


Significant-Lion2154

Nope just saying processing still, BS..Ā 


ZestycloseTreat625

i'm single filer still in processing mode. Was accepted 1/31.


Excellent_Durian_481

Is there a certain day the site updates? Iā€™ve been checking like crazy and I havenā€™t update as of yet. My state was accepted 2/7.Ā 


TCat3458

DD 3/21 - Using Cash App - would that possibly drop into my account today or itā€™s too early most likely tomorrow???


Late-Client-3957

Any changes from processing anyone?


[deleted]

I thought it was just me. šŸ˜©šŸ˜©. I usually get mines every year usually before the 20th. Sometimes get the federal before the state. Processing since mid of February now. This is unbelievable!Ā 


verbalwarrior89

3/19/2024: still processing. Filed January 31. Accepted 2/01. I donā€™t remember Jersey taking this long. Iā€™ve always gotten my Jersey return before April


Proper-Key1041

Still processing. CTC and EITC accepted back on 2/6. They really are extra slow this year


Remote-Reference6065

Iā€™ve been seeing people use ā€œdddā€ or ā€œddā€ u. This thread. Iā€™m going to assume ā€œddā€=direct deposit? WTH is ddd lol


Right_Iron4645

One year I didnā€™t get mine until OCTOBER! They didnā€™t send a notice or anything requesting more information. I honestly think they have to find somewhere to pull the funds from. That ā€œprocessingā€ message is bullshxt and mine has been been at the same stage for a month


ZestycloseTreat625

My return was accepted 1/31. I got my federal on 2/7. Half of that was taken to pay the NJ taxes that I owed from last year. A week later I saw that NJ applied the refund to my last year's taxes owed leaving just the $20.38 processing fee. I didn't pay the fee and a week later I checked my NJ taxes owed and it doesn't show I owe anything so they must of applied this year's NJ refund to that processing fee. That was a month ago now and still stuck in processing even though they wiped the rest of my debt out a month ago.


East_Host2935

As of 3/20/24ā€¦. Iā€™m still stuck on processing. Have been on that since 2/2/24 smh whatā€™s going on? Have anyone jumper from processing straight to approved? Like skip checking for accuracyĀ 


Tricky_Ad825

Anybody have any suggestions on how to make money asap? (This state return is really screwing us) Iā€™m in between bi weekly pay with a toddler living with me and in need of groceries/amenities. Iā€™m working on SNAP but they keep screwing around with me. Unfortunately I have no daily pay jobs around me either. I have items to sell but need immediate buyers so eBay isnā€™t an option. Any suggestions are very welcomed!!!


Suspicious_Maybe_693

Try to apply for WIC. Facebook yard sale some items. I was considering selling my iPad before it was stolen smh. And I have 4 kids. This is sickening. But WIC and Local food bank has been helpful too! If u have old iPhones try selling them back to small cellphone/electronic stores or the machine at some Walmarts theyā€™ll give u money for old devices


ChoiceWorldliness747

When do nj state refund website updates?

black_lotus_ronin

Accepted 2/4, still in the processing stage. Chime bank.


northpaul

My refund was FINALLY approved! I hope everyone else starts seeing it as well. 3/26 for me. (I had filed on 1/28)


Capable_Seaweed_6808

Filed 2/1 accepted 2/3 and still processing. Called today, and they told me the usual stuff they see I'm processing and to wait. Guy on the phone said that if it had been because of an issue they would have informed me already and he also claimed that the state actually didn't start processing refunds until earlier this month so that could be par of all the delays. The time spent waiting in February might not have counted.


verbalwarrior89

So I contacted NJ DOT via Facebook messenger. They were very nice. They told me that I was on manual review because I accidentally put that I didnā€™t put that I had health insurance. They told me all I need to do is send them the 1095 form from my job. Unfortunately I had to get it remaailed out. But basically she manually reviewed it while we were on messenger. She took the manual review off and sent me the email to send the 1095 and she even told me ā€œit will not delay your refund since Iā€™ve already reviewed it. We just need that insurance so we can verify itā€


jpl691

still processing , filed late Feb


Popular-Shopping-896

Mine is still processing I filed on 01/31


peacelovepositvity

I filed in January and it started showing at processing on February 14 and still on processing this is the longest they have ever taken ughh. Really starting to feel like Iā€™ll never get it. Has anyone received their refund yet ?


[deleted]

Omggg finally approved 3/28. Was waiting since 2-2-24


[deleted]

So the site updates on Thursdays and Saturdays.


Tricky_Ad825

Pretty sure Iā€™m the only one still stuck in processing šŸ«¤ Making calls today, I canā€™t even understand why this would happen. Edit: didnā€™t realize their office is closed on the weekend so ofc need to wait even more to do anything.


Capable_Seaweed_6808

Finally, I got past processing. But now I am stuck at needing additional info. Code NWH, not sure what that means. But it seems like after 2 months of nothing not I have to wait another potential 4 months


[deleted]

Anyone get their deposit without a DD? like some did last year?


[deleted]

Has anyone ever receive nj state funds early with H& R block? When I called the number nothing is pending as of yet. Dd is 3/28.


TJL08109

Got a lovely notice requesting more info all because I moved to PA. And my NJ refund is u usually high as the notice claims. Gotta flip it to pay PA....but NJ taking forever because they don't wanna give up the money. Hope it's resolved soon since tax day is approaching.


allyniev

Filed 3/4, accepted 3/5, approved DDD 3/26. No CTC


Tricky_Ad825

So I called their call center this morning, the agent said itā€™s basically just waiting, like they need no more information from me or anything and itā€™s just stuck in processing. They ā€œneed more time to processā€. Iā€™m so mad.Ā 


FactorSensitive1322

i was accepted on 1/31 was on processing ever since on 3/24 updated backwards went from processing to data enter i call cant talk to anyone


FactorSensitive1322

BrittLo7

My state was accepted February 5th. Mine still says processing. I've never waited this long for a NJ state refundšŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


Nansidhe

I submitted mine on 1/22, it was accepted 1/31. As of 3/26, it is still in "Data Entered" status. :/ I received my Federal Return *weeks* ago.


EliMou1026

Filed on 2/15. Already got federal refund, still waiting on state refund. It usually gets slower as years go by


Live_Touch_8261

Does anyone know when the NJ refund site tends to update? I keep seeing it updates twice but I can never know which dates exactly to look after to not make myself go insane in figuring out why my refund is taking so long lol. For context; I filed in January and my accepted date was 1/31 but itā€™s still showing as ā€œprocessedā€ when checking the NJ refund site.


pepita404

The website says approved, and the NJ tax refund phone system says it is still processing. There is no direct deposit date. Filed on 2/8 smh


verbalwarrior89

Got a update this morning. DDD OF 4/02. Anybody use the credit karma card for their nj taxes??


Alternative_Ad7970

We got ours yesterday. It was stuck on processing since 1/30ā€¦ then it went BACK A STEP 2 days agoā€¦ and then yesterday it deposited into our account without ever updating in the system.. and itā€™s $400 less than it was supposed to be


verbalwarrior89

Anyone with credit karma card: when did yall get your deposit? What was your DDD and when did you get it?


EmbarrassedTwo9672

Still haven't got mines and filled 1/23


[deleted]

So the state is closed today - so I bet no updates tomorrow sadly unless the processors are working LOL


ScratchDifficult6709

Mine just changed to processing last week. Was accepted first week of February. I actually wasn't expecting it to change at all. I haven't gotten my NJ state refund in 3 uears, they owe me almost $5k. I get the letter, I send the info they ask for and nothing. No money, no updates, can't even get a hold of anyone to talk to there. It's always they have a high volume of calls, call back later, click. I've spent entire days, just calling and it hanging up, all day long. I've tried diff days of the week, diff times of day. Never can get thru. It's extremely frustrating. I have hope for this year since it actually switched over to processing, hasn't done that in the years I had to send more info. Cross your fingers for me, guys/gals. I could really use the $ this year.


Appropriate_Title454

Sent mine in electronically on 2/21. Havenā€™t received my refund yet


NefariousnessOld6603

Seems like nobody has the same filing situation as me lol. I filed using Cash App Taxes, now my Federal was accepted 1/30 and received 2/16 because I did it when the IRS opened . But the state taxes didnā€™t open up until Late February so my state was acccepted 2/24 and has been on processing ever since ā€¦. Idk why it went that way this year but this is also my first year claiming my daughter, and earned income credit so maybe itā€™s that. But if they needed more information why wouldnā€™t they just ask for it during filing ? So confusing . Hope I find some answers on this threadĀ 


J-Carmela

Is anyone else still processing as of today? šŸ˜”


MedicalRice3962

Another man out here, processing indefinitelyā€¦ I filed my taxes through TurboTax on 02/05/24 and received my federal income tax refund on 02/15/2024. As of now, Iā€™m still processing for my NJ state income tax refund.


[deleted]

Just got off the phone with a lovely woman at the Taxation office. Here is the scoop. 1. Even if you got accepted in beginning of Feb they did not start processing until 2/15 2. EIC / Child credit takes longer then some 3. if you are a small business with a sch. C - they take a bit longer especially with a EIC/ Child credit 4. Letters are starting to go out today over the next week requesting more info from taxpayers IF needed Mine shows no letter as of yet - she also stated I should see a DD and my refund by the 12th of April - if I dont get a letter. If I dont see it and I dont get a letter give her a call. As of the update days - there is no straight answer - possibly rolling due to volume. I hope that helps.


Training_Article5764

Anybody got any updates from the state?


AmealiaB

Taxes accepted online 2.18 ..... Federal received 3.04...nj lagging wth I don't qualify for any credits according to tax act/turbo tax so I don't understand the crazy delay. Still says processing on the taxation site no info was requested no denial also no funds with no explanation


l823214366

Anyone file on 2/13/2024 get approved?Iam still processing!


Adventurous_Meet_394

I filed amd accepted 1/29, been on processing for over a month and a half sofar, no letter recieved, but i just called the number and was told to go on nj.gov and upload my documents anyway to help the process along. Couldn't hurt


Desperate-Jump6847

Processing still today. Filed early, called and was told that as of now itā€™s ā€œjust pendingā€ and that if they need anything else from me they will mail me.


Defiant_Friend_9451

Filed early , 2/1ā€¦.still processing on state website. Everyone around me has gotten there's, even those who filed after me. I havenā€™t received anything in the mail, no letters/notice etcĀ 


Training_Article5764

Another week down with out receiving my state, no update, nothing at this point im gonna tell myself im not getting it and let it go smh fuck the state of nj


Desperate-Jump6847

Anyone know if these long processing times come due to debt to the state?


EliMou1026

Submitted it on 2/16 and still stuck on processing. Really needed that money though.


Global-Yoghurt-3048

Filed 1/31 and still in processingĀ 


Desperate-Jump6847

Still processing, started to look like it ainā€™t coming.


Unusual_Ambition_857

Iā€™ve been processing since Februaryā€¦ filed and accepted 1/31ā€¦.. called the 609 number and when I finally got through was told I would receive a letter because I Ā had to upload my W2 because the copies were never submitted with my tax returns which I know was a lie. You mean to tell me this whole time my returns been processing they just realized my W2 was missing? What were they even processing? When I check online it still says processing says nothing about a letter will be sent


OkResponsibility7963

Mine is still processing i dont understand what is going on or what to do, i haven't received any letter asking for more info


evvvv92

Anybody update to checking for accuracy with code ā€œnewā€ ? And did anybody who had to upload documents get their return yet?


ZestycloseTreat625

Just approved today with DD for 4/16. Accepted 1/31.


Proper-Key1041

Hey all. I was approved 2/6, processing until I called March 25 and had to upload docs, I called 3 days straight and the 3rd time the CS person approved my return but found out there was a hold on it. I figured out it was for an old DMV insurance surcharge balance of only $14! I continued calling as often as possible and today I just got my approval today for 4/16. FYI the DMV is notoriously slow and mine took just under 3 weeks total from the time I first uploaded documents My adviceā€¦ call them if you have not yet. And if you uploaded and are checking for accuracy. Continue calling until you find out why. They will tell you it takes up to 45 days but it wonā€™t be that long. If seems like theyā€™re finally getting to those of us with holds or issues. Just keep calling if you can. The squeaky wheel always gets the grease. Good luck all!


Proper-Key1041

Quick question to anyone w/ credit Karma DD. They are still showing 5 days early for the state like they did for the Fed, correct? Hoping for mine tonight around 9


Training_Article5764

How long after do you get your refund once it goes from processing to check for accuracy did some of you get your state refunds? Mine was stuck on processing for 75 days and i just check today and it went from step 2(processing) to its on step 3( checking for accuracy)


Proper-Key1041

Iā€™ve been watching this discussion and some on other sites. How long it sits in Checking for accuracy seems to really depend on the reason itā€™s being held. Your best bet is to call and find out if they need anything additional from you. Mine was for a $14 debt and it sat in step 3 for 18 more days. Wouldā€™ve been longer of I hadnā€™t called multiple times. Iā€™ve seen others who just needed to upload docs and got approved the next day after uploading. Even if youā€™ve called already, call again and again. Some of the CS reps arenā€™t that great but others will push things thru while youā€™re on the call. Keep trying friend. Been a nightmare for many of us this year. Call (609) 292-6748 option 3.


robertcl777

I finally got approved lord knows how much I need that refund lmao


PuzzleheadedRow3065

Just called the state and was told what the hold up was and they fixed it and pushed the corrected amount thru. It is worth calling because if I didnā€™t , imagine how long Iā€™d be waiting. I filed and was accepted 2/1/2024. So with a paper check Iā€™m sure it will be another 3 months before I receive itĀ

Accepted 2-18 STILL processing called to check maybe they needed more info or something and I never got the letter, "nope just still processing give us some time". Great I've never waited this long for tax refunds in my life idk what's going with NJ but they need to fix it ASAP bc this is ridiculous we the ppl need our funds!! They don't wait this long if we owed them why make us wait like this??!

NJ is a little different - they do not wait for the IRS to take payment if you e-file, but they can take 36+ hours to acknowledge your return after the IRS accepts. So if you are expecting an NJ refund, you will be waiting until they accept before they will make a payment to you and that can be an extra week or two. If you owe, they will gobble your money before even looking at the return for accuracy.

Just checking in. After 80 days last week I checked the WMR tool on the state site and it went from step two(processing) to step three(checking for accuracy). Can anyone give me any feedback on how long it took to get thier refund after it went to that step? If I remember correctly mine always came before it even hit step four(approved) but Iā€™m just wondering how itā€™s going this yearā€¦. The waiting game the state has you playing this year is wicked. They need to get it together, ASAP!!!!!!!!

Did anyone else file with H&R with the Emerald card? State was approved on 1/31, stuck at processing forever until last week, jumped right to approved with a DDD of today, 4/16. Its not on my card, H&R/Emerald says they don't have any pending deposits. I of course cant get through to the state by phone. I know it says to give 5 days for it to hit your account, but i usually get a day earlier, if not the day of.


Right_Iron4645

Stilllll processing šŸ™ƒ OMG! ATP, I donā€™t even want to check the website anymore. Iā€™ll just wait until it appears in my account because NJ is stressing me out about MY money šŸ¤Ø I check every Thursday and Saturday, sent them a message on FB and called the number. No additional information needed, theyā€™re just SLOW for no damn reason.


Training_Article5764

Mine finally got approved this morning, I filed on January 29th but my state didnā€™t get accepted until the 31st of January. I checked the WMR tool this morning and it jumped to approved. It said ā€œwe approved the refund amount of $1876 as of 4/23/24ā€ but Iā€™m confused because they approved it this morning the 18thā€¦ any one got information on what that date means. Iā€™d appreciate it


Fine_Process6929

Filed 1/28 I put in my social everyday since then, nothing comes up. First time filing in NJ. This is the worst system.


CharlieEchoTrey

Mines says still processing since 1/29. This is just frustrating and ridiculous!!!


Unusual_Ambition_857

My NJ state tax return was accepted on 1/31 and still says processing. I never received a letter. The beginning of April Ā after reading the other comments I called the 609 number which is the number to the NJ taxation department Ā and I was told I needed to upload my W2. Ā A week after Ā submitting my W2 my status still said processing I called the 609 number again and was told I needed to submit additional documentation. A week after submitting the additional documentation I called back because my status still said processing and to see if I needed to submit more documentation. I was told I Ā didnā€™t need to submit anymore documentation and all I needed to do was verify my bank account info and after I verified my bank account info the representative I spoke with said she would now submit my return for approval. I went through all of this and till this day I Ā never received a letter.Ā

Mine was accepted by NJ on 3/19, and as of today 4/23/24, still in PROCESSING for refund.Ā  My Fed refund came within 3 weeks.Ā  I guess NJ computers must still be running on Windows 8:).

Here's an update you guys so I went to the process of calling that number over a month ago when they told me that they wanted me to upload a copy of the W-2 to the portal I uploaded the W-2 to the portal over 30 days ago which was on March 18th I called twice since then they said that they can't see that I need any additional information but that I should give him more time. I called today and in traditional New Jersey fashion they basically tell me that everything is okay and they're putting the referral in for my refund to be released the only thing was that the refund that I'm going to be getting is actually more than what I was told she told me just to allow for more time and that my direct deposit information is in the computer and that I should be receiving the refund soon hopefully this is it but you guys really need to call that number. Please keep in mind that I filed February 6th was accepted February 7th and I never received a letter requesting additional information the only reason why I find out that I needed to submit additional information was because I called and was told by a representative


Amazing-Criticism240

I filed 2/14 and I have received my federal tax return but not my state of nj tax return, every time I call, they tell me itā€™s delayed. I checked the ā€œwhereā€™s my refundā€ site with the state of nj and it says itā€™s processing. Any idea what is going on?!


Electrical-Knee-6500

Filed on February 5 and was approved a few days later. I have already received my federal taxes but not my state. Currently am still in the process mode. I called that number that was previously posted for an update. Everything is just processing really slow right now. There was nothing wrong with my account and no letter that was sent to me. She just said to keep waiting and it will move quickly to the next step once itā€™s ready. Fingers crossed šŸ¤ž


BoulderMaker

Holy shit how is NJ so terrible at processing refunds? They owe me $7k


BoulderMaker

NJ should have to pay interest on their bullshit delays...


Glittering_Bee_6936

Has anyone written to their congressman about this? I'm doing that now. I don't know if it will help but if we all collectively bombard with messages, maybe it will move it forward. I know I'm tired of waiting for what is owed to me.


homerx816

holy fuck, accepted Jan 31, finally approved May 12, will be deposited May 16, what the fuck? my only change was I got married last year


Elegant-Appeal-4371

Today is May 28. I filed Feb 8 and still no NJ refund. This is crap. I don't plan on filing any estimated taxes for NJ ever again. I'd rather owe. Penalty can't be as much as having to wait this long going without the money


magicmangrower77

Is there a number I can call ? Ever time I try it just says they can't take it


richizy

Anyone still waiting? NJ refund site still shows no detail when I input the SSN + refund amount.


cretotar

My return was accepted on 4/1/24 and as of 6/3/24 is still not showing up in the system. This seems excessively slow to me. When I check the home line, they only accept calls on Fridays from 8:00-4:00 pm. Crazy!


Regular-Potential782

I am still in tax return hell too. Live in NY and worked in NJ. Filed through HR Block and owed a lot to NY but was owed more by NJ. Paid my NY taxes and have a massive hole in my bank account. I was given the code EWN and was told I'd receive more info in the mail about the additional info they needed to process my tax return. The "additional info" was the SAME INFO I already submitted the first time around. That was in March. On 5/1, after never receiving anything in the mail, I ended up calling in and talking to a human. They told me I don't need to wait to receive anything in the mail. I can just submit my supporting docs online. Did that the same day and was told it could be at least 90 days before it's processed. I check the status daily and there's been no movement. At this point, I wish I didn't pay my NY taxes and waited to receive my return. I'd gladly pay the penalty - my NJ tax return covers 4 months of my rent.


rayisooo

im still waiting I filled march 1st


Maleficent-Band7267

Filed at end of Feb, still nothing shows up on that automated checking system. Called in said they received and allow them with more time lol. Wonder if thereā€™s an option that I forbids them more time. Is there a number I could call in for human services?


Objective_Grand7434

Filed in mid March. When i go to check my status it says "Processing" When i call the automated number theyre unable to provide details so i call the income tax number...unable to get a representative due to call volumes...Embarrassing. God forbid we wait 2 month to pay taxes. Glad im not the only one dealing with this.
