| How can I check on the status of my Hawaii refund? |
| Refund information is
confidential, and is therefore not available over the Internet. You may call the district tax office where you filed your return to check on the status of your refund. Telephone numbers are available here. In general, refunds due to you are issued within 8 weeks from the date your return is filed with the Department of Taxation. However, it may take additional time if you filed your return close to the April 20 filing deadline, if errors were made in completing your return, or if you moved and did not change your address in writing with the district tax office with which you filed your return. Please wait at least 4 weeks to allow for the processing of the return before you contact the Department regarding the status of your tax return. If your mailing address has changed since you filed your return, you must notify the Department in writing of your new address as soon as possible. You should also provide the Social Security Number or Federal Identification Number shown on the return with your address change request. Refund checks are not forwarded by the Postal Service even if you give a forwarding address to the Postal Service. Checks sent to an old address will be returned to the district office with which you filed your return. |
