Where’s My State Tax Refund?

Alabama Tax Return WKRG gets e-mails daily from people around Alabama saying they still have not received a tax refund from the state. We found out what's behind the delay.

The Alabama Department of Revenue is slowly processing 50,000 refunds flagged by the state for errors.

A spokesperson for the department says it's not uncommon to have questions with that many returns, but the refunds are being processed slower because of Alabama's cash-flow problems.

Earlier this month, the state mailed more than 166,000 refund checks to avoid paying interest tax payers.

The 50,000 tax payers still waiting for their refund will be paid 4% interest when the check is finally mailed.

Take a look at the state’s web site.  (http://www.revenue.alabama.gov/refund.cfm ).  Looking at refunds processed and refunds paid I see that there are almost 175,000 refunds that have not been paid. 

I guess it’s embarrassing for the state to say how many folks it’s screwing over and the Revenue department knows that no reporter will actually take 60 seconds to do their own research.
