FAQs

How long to get Vermont tax refund?

You can expect to receive your Vermont tax refund within 6-12 weeks after your return is accepted (assuming there are no issues with your return). The fastest way to get your refund is to e-file your Vermont state income tax return and choose direct deposit. However, if your return is incorrect, incomplete, or you filed a paper return, the refund process can take longer.

How to check Vermont tax refund?

You can check your refund online using the “Where’s my refund?” tool on the Vermont Department of Revenue’s website. You’ll need your Social Security Number or ITIN, last name, zip code, and refund amount.

When does Vermont release tax refunds?

Vermont processes refunds after returns are received and accepted. While there’s no set issue date for all refunds, most e-filed refunds are issued within a few weeks of filing (paper returns may take several more weeks).
Note that these are general guidelines. Timing may vary depending on the type of return and the volume of returns being processed by the state tax department at the time. If you have waited longer than the expected timeframe and still haven’t received your refund, use your state’s refund status tracking tool (linked above) or contact your state department of taxation using the contact info above.

Why is my Vermont tax refund under manual review?

If your return contains errors, missing information, or is flagged for potential fraud, it may trigger a manual review. Manual reviews take longer to process, which can delay your refund.

Why is my Vermont tax refund being offset?

State refunds can be offset (reduced or withheld) if you owe certain debts, such as unpaid taxes or child support, defaulted student loans, or other unpaid court-ordered debts. Tax agencies have the authority to intercept refunds to pay for certain debts. If you believe your refund offset was done in error, contact your state tax department.

What day are Vermont tax refunds deposited?

There isn’t a fixed “deposit day” for state refunds. Basically, once your refund is approved, Vermont issues it as soon as possible. Direct deposit usually arrives faster than mailed checks, but the exact day varies depending on when you filed and how quickly your return is processed.
