Grumble

There are many reasons that our bank account is low right now (not least an inspired harassment campaign by some horrible people that involved some serious legal and travel costs).

But one I wasn't expecting was our state tax refund taking two weeks (and counting) longer than our federal one to be processed.

Seriously. I can't ever recall getting the federal one so quickly while still waiting on the state one, not least because the state one is generally so much simpler (we don't, for example, gain nearly as much back from our college expenses).

Of course, it could be that the IRS has just gotten much better. But less than ten days for the feds, and three weeks and counting for state is a weird imbalance.

Definitely weird. I'd check on that if I were you - it's possible there's an issue with the return. :/

There's a "still being processed" message, but based on web searching, thirty days seems not-unusual this year. It also might the penalty of actually filing early instead of waiting until mid-April.
