The Poor State of NC (tax related)
just for giggles, i went to check the status of our state refund, filed in early march. this is the response i got:
Your
tax return has been received and your refund will be processed as
quickly as possible. However, we cannot provide specific estimates on
when individuals will receive their refunds. Everyone who is due a
refund will receive a refund. We update refund information by 6 p.m.
daily. Your refund information will remain the same throughout the day.
Please wait at least 24 hours before inquiring again.
AKA "The State is poor and we're waiting on those who owe so we can pay out."

i'm almost 100% sure that they have to if they're more than x number of days past your filing date. i want to say that "x" is 90, but i haven't looked it up. i'm not all that concerned considering our refund is $41
i do know that interest is taxable, we got stuck paying taxes on the interest the feds paid us when they held our federal refund for 7 months!
That is incredibly unbelievable Charch! I cannot believe you got taxed on the interest. I remember what a mess you had to deal with and then to have to pay taxes on top of it, wow!!
Yes, you have to receive your refund by the end of May (not sure of the exact date, we did a news story on it but I don't have access to our scripts at home) or you will get 5% interest on it.
I think the state said most refunds should be going out by May 5th.
Or hell, maybe I'm just thinking of Cinco de Mayo.v
That was pretty similar to our timeline. We just got ours in the last couple weeks... but it was only $12 so I wasn't too worried about it!
Jumping over from the baby board...
We filed in late February and I'm getting this message "Your 2009 tax return has not been processed." Does that mean they didn't receive it? We're getting a lot back from state and I would love to have that cash!
Gah! I'm so glad you asked. I did get a confirmation that it was accepted. BUT my federal return was rejected (I made a typo on DH's W2) and that automatically rejects your state return. I NEVER got a notification about this, I thought my return went through 2 months ago.
But thanks for posting, otherwise I would have had the IRS after me!
Well, what's the point of the website then? I had been meaning to go check ours but always forgot to do it when the information was readily accessible. Now I'm not going to bother.
