  1. NC DOR Where’s My Refund has not worked in weeks. Now that they are resumed mailing paper checks why isn’t their site updated? I filed electronically on 2/11/25 and am still waiting for my substantial refund.

  2. I filed early March and waiting on my refund as well. We should be receiving interest on these refunds as of 5/31/2025.

  6. Direct deposit from e file on April 14th, still not received, and cannot get anyone on the phone to answer questions. What is going with NC DOR?

  7. Filed electronically 2/14/25 and still have not received our check. How do you reach a “real person” to speak with at DOR? Have dialed the # listed on their website within the “hours of operation”. Get to listen to the recorded message and then the system hangs up. Very FRUSTRATED!!!!
