You dutifully filed your state income tax return, and lucky you, your state owes you money. So, when can you expect that refund check?
How to check your state tax refund status will walk you through figuring our whether your state income tax return has been processed and if the check is in the mail or held up in some bureaucratic netherworld. (We hope it's the former.)

State Tax Refund Status Tips
- Have all the pertinent information on hand. Before you contact your state's department of revenue or taxation, have your social security number, filing status and refund amount on hand.
- Visit your state's department of revenue website. Each state has a different mechanism for checking the status of your refund. Some use an online system; others maintain a telephone hotline. All states, however, have a website that will instruct you on how to check your refund status.
- Your 2008 federal tax rebate is different than your federal and state tax refunds. Your 2008 Bush Tax Rebate check is separate from your federal refund check and has nothing to do with your state refund. Rebate checks will be mailed to qualifying taxpayers beginning in May 2008.

How to Check Your State Tax Refund Status
- Every state that levies a personal income tax has either a website or hotline set up to give you information about the status of your refund, if you are owed one.
- Whether you're using your computer or are relying on Ma Bell, you'll need to provide some information about your tax return to find out whether your refund has been processed yet. Each state requires something slightly different, but, at the very least, you will be asked to provide:
- Social Security Number (or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)
- Filing Status (Single, Married Filing Joint Return, Married Filing Separate Return, Head of Household, or Qualifying Widow(er))
- Exact Refund Amount Shown on Your Return
