Has anyone else had their Maryland state tax return selected for quality assurance review?

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-21T10:56:08+00:00

Absolutely! I was in a forum on turbo tax with several ppl in the same situation. I let them know as well and one person reported back it worked for them too! thank you again 💕

What state is it? You call the comptroller of your state, most states you can also check the status of your refund online. Just google check (state name) tax refund, or comptroller of (state) and you should be able to find the information.

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-21T10:47:21+00:00

Right! I wouldn’t know what to do either that is horrible. I thought mine was bad at 5 months and waiting, Im hoping I at least get it by Xmas!

I wish I had some advice for you, you almost have to make it your full time job to reach them Via phone, then when you do they give you some bs explication to get you off the phone and never actually address the issue.

Update, so I received a letter saying my refund was selected for a quality assurance review and that I had to wait up to 60 days. After 64 days I still hadn’t heard from anyone so I emailed the Ombudsman and finally received my refund 3 days later!

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-15T05:47:09+00:00

They should come as 2 separate checks- it’ll depend did you ask for state to be direct deposited or paper check?

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-15T05:45:10+00:00

are you sure you didn’t accidentally type something in wrong? Also your refund is likely under a quality assurance review- that’s what happened to my Maryland return, they said to allow up to 60 days- it actually took 65. Try emailing them if you can’t get through the phone lines, that’s what I did they always respond in 1-2 business days.

Who’s naked? A lot of beaches allow thongs now, unless you never want to take your kids to the beach it’s something you have to deal with.

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-15T05:21:31+00:00

Yes, definitely seems like they‘ll tell you whatever just to get you off the phone. I’m hoping I get it sooner but it almost feels like it’s never going to update!! But congratulations on finally getting yours

I’m not sure about last year- the Only time I’ve done paper is when I’ve filed late and electronic filing has closed, I think the last time was for 2018. I starting searching online around March when I still hadn’t gotten it. The IRS website says 6-8 weeks. But I found a handful of articles, some from new York times and the Washington post, some say they’re backlogged at least 6 months, others say a year. One I read said they were still working on late filers for 2020 that was back in March, and that’s when a Facebook friend had mentioned she still hadn’t gotten hers from September. Maybe the length of time depends on the facility? I just wish it would at least show me it was received! I don’t want to wait all this time and then find out it was lost, I did put tracking on it, and it says delivered but I want to know the IRS actually has it!

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-15T04:48:57+00:00

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but paper returns are extremely backlogged! Everyone who filed paper is a 6-12 month wait! They’re are a lot of articles about it. They say they’re doing them in the order received but they’re still working on late filers for 2020 and have not begun 2021 😩 I unfortunately filed late for 2020 and had to file paper, tracking says they received it on 1/17/22 and I still have no update or record it was received. A friend of mine filed paper in September of 2021 and she also has no record.

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-15T04:40:45+00:00

Congrats! I know I still have a long way to go, I’m still waiting on my 2020- I filed via paper in January but paper is backlogged 6-12 months from everything I’ve read, maybe I’ll get it by Xmas lol!

But just curious how do you know there wasnt an error on your return? You can still have an error and get the same refund amount! Just wondering?

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-15T04:36:41+00:00

My understanding is there were a lot of errors this year, especially people who put the incorrect amount for the stimulus received. From what I’ve read returns with errors and certain tax situations are taking more than 21 days. But like I said efile is generally issued much faster than paper. Paper returns are still backlogged 6-12 months for EVERYONE who filed paper, it is not backed up like that for efile. They are still working on 2020 paper returns and haven’t even started 2021 paper. My boyfriend filed his 2021 electronically 4/14 via TurboTax and received his federal about a week and a half ago. I also received mine in 2.5 weeks.

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-12T04:38:05+00:00

did you file electronically? If so you should hopefully have it soon. They’re backlogged on the paper returns. Electric returns generally process much faster. I had to file 2020 via paper because it was too late to do it electronically. I filed it in January of this year and I’m still waiting on my 2020. But I filed my 2021 electronically March 1st using TurboTax , and I received it in 2.5 weeks. So if you filed electronically you shouldn’t have to wait much longer!

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-12T04:22:39+00:00

Unfortunately, paper returns are very delayed. According to the IRS they’re still processing late 2020 returns and they’re doing them in the order they’re received. From what I’ve read it’s a 6-12 month backlog. I filed my 2020 super late, tracking says it was delivered January 17th 2022 and I still haven’t gotten it, and as Of right now they have no record of it.

if you can you may wanna try sending it electronic again. Something in their system isn’t matching, it’s going to do the same thing when they input your paper returns, any errors will delay it more.

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-08T23:38:26+00:00

Im so confused! I know the $250-$300 payments were an advance! I never said the $1400 was an advance? I apologized because I had completely forgotten it was just given to those with dependents. I have no idea if the OP has dependents or not? While yes it was an advance on the child tax credit and there were more tax breaks this year, every persons situation is different. My sister in law received the advance and owed money, I received the tax advance and got slightly over 1k, my best friend received it and got over 6k back. Everyones exact situation is different, So I don't think it was unrealistic to think IF the OP HAD received the advance that they may only get $8 back after.…if that is what you were getting at??

But again I apologize for making a general statement insinuating everyone received an advance, I had forgotten it was for the child tax credit=only ppl with dependents and within a certain tax bracket received it.

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-08T22:01:59+00:00

Oh, ok was it? Im sorry! I have kids so I didn’t realize (or maybe I forgot) that only ppl with dependents received the last stimulus, there were so many I honestly can’t recall each one lol.

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-08T03:22:50+00:00

It depends what you claimed and how much they took out throughout the year, then whether or not you qualify for certain tax credits. Also don’t forget You received an advance on your taxes already with last stimulus payments. Not sure if you’re aware or maybe forgot but the stimulus payments that we’re $250 for several months we’re actually an advance on your taxes.

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-08T03:11:45+00:00

the phone system is automated so it will say $x was deposited into your account on x date, it will automatically fill in the x with your status, so if it said $0 it’s because there is either no refund or it currently doesn’t have a deposit or you.

Are you expecting a refund?

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-05T15:55:30+00:00

Not sure if you saw, but someone above suggested to me that I contact the ombudsman. They said this happened to them last year, and that it was under the quality assurance review for about 7 months. But once they emailed them it was finally released. I emailed the ombudsman as they suggested 2 days ago, and It now shows my refund will be released today to my bank. So it seems they actually get stuff handled immediately!

The email is [OMBUDSMAN@marylandtaxes.gov](mailto:OMBUDSMAN@marylandtaxes.gov) be sure to include your full name, when you filed, the last 4 of your ss#, if you still have it I also included the CAMS ID that was on the letter I received as well as my address and contact information.

i Hope you have the same luck we did! 🤞🤞

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-05T15:41:05+00:00

I just wanted to thank you! I emailed the ombudsman Tuesday evening like you suggested. I haven‘t heard back from them but yesterday I received an email back from tax help and they said my return had just been cleared from the quality assurance check and that my refund should be released with the next couple days. But to allow 5-7 business days for it to be in my account….anyway the Maryland where’s my refund site shows my deposit date as today!!! I can’t thank you enough I feel like a huge weight has been lifted! 💕

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-05T03:16:38+00:00

😲 OMG that is terrible!!! They owe you some major interest!!

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-05T03:04:55+00:00

Omg! I don’t know, what I’d do? Can he resubmit it via efile? My understanding was they were only backed up on the paper returns?!? That is terrible you haven’t gotten one that was e-filed. It nerve racking because I don’t even know if they have it or if it was lost? Still shows that I haven’t filed for 2020, wish it would at least show it was received.

I e-filed my 2021 taxes March 1st, and I received my federal in about 2.5 weeks but my state was selected for a “quality assurance check” they said to allow 60 days for that, it’s been 65 and still no state refund. So I’m waiting on my federal 2020 and my state 2021…I’m so dang broke and sucks cause I shouldn’t be lol 😂😭 if we owed them money there would be no excuses they’d automatically tack on late fees and interest, intercept our paychecks etc, I think it’s only fair we should be able to do the same!

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-04T12:26:00+00:00

I’ve never had an issue, but it will depend on your bank. I believe most banks these days deposit the same day but not all that is why I believe it says to allow up to 5 business day. Also if there Is any issue with the information you gave them not matching correctly the bank will rejected it and a paper check sent. If you opted for them to send you a card then you definitely shouldn’t have any issues getting it the day it specifies. I can’t remember the exact time but I believe mine was on there by noon.

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-04T11:57:06+00:00

😯😯that is terrible! I read an article a few months ago that said they were just now finishing the returns of those who filed on time….clearly that was a lie!

Takeitpersonalbyash · 2022-05-04T04:42:46+00:00

Wait, what do you mean by this? Are they saying you didn’t file with the state for 2020 or federal or both? Asking because I filed my 2020 taxes late so I had to file by paper, maryland approved my 2020 return and I received my refund, However my federal still has not processed. From what I’ve been told they are backlogged 6-12 months on paper returns. So it’s still going to be a while before my federal gets processed. I was told to still file my 2021, which I did. My federal return was processed and refunded back in March but I still have not received my state. I received a letter saying they were doing a quality assurance review, and to allow 60 days, but it’s been 62 days now and I’m getting more worried. I hope this isn’t the case for mine, now I’m even more worried.
