When should my Mississippi refund arrive?
Enter the day you filed. We add only the DOR's own published time to it.
The DOR counts from the date shown in each result below. Use that date if you know it.
Stated processing time: E-filed (return processing)
Fri, November 13, 2026 – Tue, November 17, 2026
5–7 business days after filing. The department's stated window ends on the last date shown.
DOR says: Electronically filed returns take 5 to 7 business days to process.
Business days skip Saturdays and Sundays. Public holidays are not skipped, so the real date can be a day or two later.
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 Mississippi return ready; most state tools ask for your Social Security number and the exact refund amount on the return.
