To check your state tax refund status, follow these steps:
- Visit your state's taxation department website or use a state-specific refund tracking tool. Many states provide an online portal where you can enter your information to track your refund
- Have the following information ready:
- Your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
- Your filing status
- The exact whole dollar amount of your expected refund, which you can find on your tax return or tax software like TurboTax
- Enter this information into the state's refund tracking system to see the status of your refund
- If you cannot find an online tool, you can contact your state's tax department by phone for assistance
This process is similar to checking your federal tax refund, which can be done through the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool or the IRS2Go mobile app using the same personal and filing details
. In summary, to check your state refund, go to your state's tax website, provide your SSN/ITIN, filing status, and refund amount, and use their refund status tool or contact them directly for updates
