You can check the status of your Kentucky income tax refund by calling (502) 564-4581.

You will need to know

• The primary Social Security Number
• The exact amount of your anticipated tax refund

It is anticipated that income tax refunds from Kentucky tax returns filed in the Federal/State Electronic Filing Program will be issued in two to three weeks. The following conditions may delay tax refunds and/or change tax refund amounts on electronically filed returns:

• The taxpayer owes delinquent Kentucky taxes.
• The taxpayer owes a debt to another state agency or to the IRS.
• The estimated tax payments claimed on the return do not match the estimated tax payments recorded on KRC's estimated tax file.
• The refund amount is adjusted when the electronic return is processed.
• Bad addresses. Common problems are addresses containing a rural route. While the Cabinet recognizes that some rural routes still exist in Kentucky, most rural routes have been eliminated and assigned a street name with a house number. You should verify that the rural route is still a valid address before utilizing this address on the your return. Another common problem is an address that contains both a post office box number and a street address. Post office equipment cannot determine which address to utilize. Only one address should be submitted.
