NEW JERSEY – Good news for New Jersey taxpayers. Indeed, the state’s tax division announced on Tuesday that it has already started sending out state tax return refunds.
Garden State residents can check their refund status on this website. By phone: 1-800-323-4400 or 609-826-4400 (anywhere).
There are several ways to file your tax returns, some of which will cost you nothing.
When can I start checking the status of my refund?
- 4 weeks or more after electronic filing.
- At least 12 weeks after sending your return.
- Fifteen weeks or more for additional processing requirements or paper returns sent by certified mail.
On the other hand, the most pressing question for a taxpayer is when he can get his refund once the IRS accepts his return.
It depends on how you file your taxes. If you do it on paper, in the traditional way, it will be difficult to predict. Because? First, you send your declaration by post. IRS staff then manually enter the records for the system to scan the data, and then the Treasury Department issues a check, which is then mailed. A whole odyssey.
But with e-filing, you can get a refund in as little as eight days from the date of acceptance by the tax agency, if you choose direct deposit. Of course, it will also depend on the simplicity or complexity of your return, because if you have multiple dependents or W2s and claim various tax credits and deductions, it will take longer for the IRS to verify the files.
On average, last year the IRS issued refunds in less than 21 days to 9 out of 10 taxpayers from the date the return was received
Additionally, the IRS began accepting tax returns on January 23. For most taxpayers, you must file your federal return and pay your balance by April 18 of this year to avoid accruing penalties and interest.
The IRS notes on its website that most refunds are generated in less than 21 calendar days. However, it can take four weeks or more to process your return if you filed it on paper and are expecting a refund. The “Where’s my refund?” has the most recent information available regarding your refund.
Let’s say you filed your taxes on January 23, when the season started. In this case, you may still have to wait until February 14 to receive your refund.
The IRS usually provides updates with direct deposit dates, assuming there are no tax filing issues. Based on last year’s timelines, we estimate that the first direct deposits will arrive the third week of February.
Here is this schedule of estimated dates you can expect your tax refund once the IRS accepts your return.
Here’s how to find out where your tax refund is if you haven’t received it or want to know if you’ve already received it.
