When to Expect Your Refund
If the department receives your properly completed return and all enclosures are correct and complete, you can expect your refund:

- by the end of September if you are a homeowner and you file by August 1, or within 60 days after you file, whichever is later.
If your return is incomplete or necessary information is not enclosed, your refund will be delayed or your return will be sent back to you.
You may receive your refund up to 30 days earlier than the dates listed above if you:
- electronically file your return by May 15 (if a renter) or July 1 (if a homeowner or mobile home owner); and
- chose the direct deposit option; and
