North Carolina is one of the 43 states in America that taxes its residents’ individual income.
You must file a state tax return if you are a nonresident alien and your income from North Carolina sources is greater than $0.
If you have already filed your North Carolina state tax return ahead of the 17 May 2021 tax filing deadline, you may want to follow the progress of your return and the processing of your tax refund.
In this guide, we’re going to show you exactly how you can track your return and let you know what to do if you have not yet filed your taxes.

Can I check my NC tax refund status?
Typically, the North Carolina Department of Revenue advises that tax refund processing can take up to 12 weeks. However, wait times may fluctuate depending on when you apply for your refund.
For example, it may take longer to receive your refund around the tax deadline due to the number of tax returns the IRS will be dealing with.
