    ADOR says: We issue most refunds in less than 8 weeks.

This is an estimate for information only, not tax, payroll or legal advice. It only adds the ADOR's published time to your date; it does not know your return's status. Check the official tool for that.

What you need to check your refund

The ADOR's refund page does not say what the tool asks for. Have a copy of your Arizona return ready; most state tools ask for your Social Security number and the exact refund amount on the return.

Why a Arizona refund can be delayed

The ADOR lists these causes:

  • Calculation errors
