    3 weeks after filing. The department's stated window ends on the last date shown.

    DOR says: E-filed returns may take up to three weeks to process.

This is an estimate for information only, not tax, payroll or legal advice. It only adds the DOR'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 DOR's refund page does not say what the tool asks for. Have a copy of your Indiana return ready; most state tools ask for your Social Security number and the exact refund amount on the return.
