https://www.abc17news.com/news/more-than-100-000-missourians-await-tax-refunds-from-department-lacking-director/1085401501I filed in January. It's still validating. Last week I was informed it might be late fall before they finally validate the return. The agent on the other end said it didn't have an error but that they're just "holding it".

(16,785 posts)You filed your taxes, getting a refund however small, and they are "holding" it? Something tells me there is not enough money in the Treasury to send you what is coming to you.

I guess the strategy would be to get the refund amount to as close to zero as possible.
My wife is a small business person, some years we hit some years we miss.

(29,674 posts)They are required to pay interest, though it's less than one percent.
I'm worried at the last minute they will find an error and there will be a bill, accruing interest the entire time.

(29,674 posts)It's not uncommon for employees to owe because they don't take enough out.
I was surprised to find they owe me. I'm angry that they are purposely choosing not to validate until the fall.

He had the state so shittily managed that he would defer people's tax refunds for 3-4 months, all while the state played this, we need to to send in all of your supporting documentation requests to run the clock.
He did this for the last 3 years of his administration, because the state was effectively bankrupt. Christie ended up raiding the Transportation Trust Fund, which was a dedicated fund paid by gasoline taxes. This now caused NJ to increase it's gas tax by 30 cents per gallon.
Fiscal conservatives fuck up everything. That is why almost every Red State is a fucking moocher for Dem State money.
