Where is my refund?

Use Where's My Refund? to find out if the Illinois Department of Revenue has initiated the refund process. For more specific information about the status of your refund after the Illinois Department of Revenue has finished processing it, you can check the Illinois Comptroller's Find Your Illinois Tax Refund System.

What do I do if my refund is different than what was shown on my return?

If your refund amount is different than what is shown on your return, you will receive a notice within 7 to 10 business days explaining the difference.

How long does it take to get my refund?

If you file your return electronically and have your refund directly deposited into your checking or savings account, you will receive your refund faster. If you file a paper return, the timeframe is extended. In general, you can expect your refund to take longer than previous years as we continue our efforts to prevent identity theft and fraud.

How you'll receive your payment

Californians will receive their MCTR payment by direct deposit or debit card.

Generally, direct deposit payments will be made to eligible taxpayers who e-filed their 2020 CA tax return and received their CA tax refund by direct deposit. MCTR debit card payments will be mailed to the remaining eligible taxpayers.

You will receive your payment by mail in the form of a debit card if you:

  • Filed a paper return.
  • Had a balance due.
  • Received your Golden State Stimulus (GSS) payment by check.
  • Received your tax refund by check regardless of filing method.
  • Received your 2020 tax refund by direct deposit, but have since changed your banking institution or bank account number.
  • Received an advance payment from your tax service provider, or paid your tax preparer fees using your tax refund.

When you'll receive your payment

MCTR direct deposit payments for Californians who received GSS I or II are expected to be issued to bank accounts between October 7, 2022 and October 25, 2022. The remaining direct deposits will occur between October 28, 2022 and November 14, 2022.

MCTR direct deposit recipients who have changed their banking information since filing their 2020 tax return will receive a debit card. Debit cards for this group will be mailed between December 17, 2022 and January 14, 2023.

MCTR debit card payments for Californians who received GSS I and II are expected to be mailed between October 24, 2022 and December 10, 2022. The remaining debit cards will be mailed by January 14, 2023.

How soon will I get my tax refund 2022?

The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days. Get your tax refund up to 5 days early: When it's time to file, have your tax refund direct deposited with Credit Karma Money™, and you could receive your funds up to 5 days early.

How come I got my federal refund but not state?

This is not uncommon. The IRS and your state have separate refunding procedures and schedules, which just means your refunds are processed separately for federal and state. Some may get their federal refund before getting the state one, and vice versa.

How long does it take to get RI Tax Refund?

Note: Please wait at least two to three weeks before checking the status of your refund on electronically filed returns and four to six weeks for paper filed returns.

Do you usually get your state or federal refund first?

Although, state refunds often come faster than those being processed through the federal system. This isn't always the case, but it often is. Generally, you can expect to receive your state tax refund within 30 days if you filed your tax return electronically.
