When Can You Start Checking for your PA Refund Status?

If you filed electronically it takes approximately four weeks to process your tax return. However, if the Department needs to verify information reported on your return or request additional information, the process will take longer. After your overpayment is processed, it normally takes an additional three to four weeks for your refund to be mailed or direct deposited.

For paper filed returns, wait eight to 10 weeks for your return to allow for your return to post to the system before checking your PA refund status. In either situation, after your return is posted and the PA overpayment is processed, a PA refund could take an additional four to six weeks for a check to be mailed or direct deposited.
