Four Reasons Your Refund Might Be Delayed

  1. ​If your homestead credit claim was selected for review​​​

    There are several reasons a homestead credit claim may be selected for review. It does not necessarily mean something is wrong with your claim. Review the Homestead Credit Common Questions page for more information about why your claim may be under review.

  2. If your earned income credit claim was selected for review

    If your earned income credit is selected for review, it may be because we need more information. It does not necessarily mean something is wrong with your claim. Review the Earned Income Credit Common Questions page for more information about why your claim may be under review.

  3. If you were selected for identity verification

    Identity theft and tax refund fraud are two of the top cybercrimes that target individuals. The identity quiz is an extra tool we’re using to prevent identity theft and protect taxpayers. This extra layer of protection may delay some refunds. Review the Identity Verification Common Questions page for more information.​

  4. If we found errors in matching wage information

    If wage information you included on your return differs with the information your employer and other payers provided, it may be selected for review. It may not mean something is wrong with your return. Review the Wage Matching Common Questions page for more information.
