Tax refund season in North Carolina began in March: Why didn't you receive your refund yet? Here's what you should know

The tax refund process in the state of North Carolina had already begun in March and residents of the state had started receiving their refunds. However, according to The Charlotte Observer's reports, many residents are complaining that they still have not received their tax refunds, which was supposed to have been provided to them months ago.

According to reports, some NC residents are waiting for almost five months for their tax refund but to no avail. They feel that there is absolutely 'no reason' why their refunds should take this long, as the North Carolina Department of Revenue generally issues tax refunds to its residents within a matter of two weeks of receiving the electronic tax filings. In some cases, however, it may take longer to issue refunds due to further reviews and checks.
