If you’ve filed your state tax return, you won’t have long to wait for the refund check.
According to Danny Fornash, with the state Tax Department, as of Wednesday, the office had received 489,000 returns. That’s down about 4% from this time last year.
Those returns are being processed without any delays. In fact, there’s no back-ups.
There was some concern earlier this year that the sequester would slow down the process. But Fornash says not so far and they’re really not expecting any last minute hang ups because returns are coming in at a steady pace.
The tax filing deadline is April 15, which falls on a Monday.
