New Jersey Refund Status
NJ Division of Taxation Online Inquiry
Phone Inquiry: 1-800-323-4400 (toll-free within NJ, NY,
PA, DE, and MD) or 609-826-4400 (anywhere) This service is
available 7 days a week (hours may vary). You will need
the social security number that was listed first on your
return and the amount of the refund requested when you
call.
These automated systems can tell you if and when your
refund was mailed and when you should receive it. The
systems also allow you to begin the procedure to trace a
lost refund check. If you filed your return electronically
and requested direct deposit for your refund, the systems
can tell you the date it was deposited into your bank
account.
If you filed a paper return, information on the status of
your refund will not be available for at least 6-8 weeks
from the time the return was mailed. Paper returns are not
logged in as they are received. Division of Taxation
personnel cannot verify receipt of your return until
processing has begun, and the return appears in our
computer system.
You can also perform an online search to determine if your
refund check was returned to the Division of Taxation by
the U.S. Postal Service because of an invalid mailing
address. If you discover that your check was returned, you
can submit a claim form online to have it reissued.
If you do not have access to a Touch-tone phone, or if you
need information about the status of a refund for a prior
year, call the Customer Service Center at 609-292-6400
during normal business hours to speak to a Division of
Taxation representative. |

Online Inquiry
When to check status of your refund:
●
Within 24 hours after we’ve received your e-filed tax
return; or
●
4 weeks after mailing your paper return.
When the IRS processes your tax
return and approves your refund, you can see your actual
personalized refund date. Even though the IRS issues most
refunds in less than 21 days after we receive your tax
return, it’s possible your tax return may require
additional review and take longer.
You should only call if it has been:
●
21 days or more since you filed electronically;
●
More than 6 weeks since you mailed your paper return; or
●
The Where’s My Refund? tool directs you to contact us. |
