What do NJ refund status messages mean?
Each message is a short label — for where the refund sits:
- Received/Processing — the return is under review
- Approved — the refund is cleared for payment
- Issued/Sent — payment has been released
- Adjusted — the amount changed after review, generally due to an offset
- Needs action — more information is required before payment.
What if the checker shows no record or you still haven’t been paid?
If you are past the earliest check date for the filing method, confirm e-file acceptance with your software or preparer. Afterwards, call the automated refund line at 1-800-323-4400.
What if the tool says “issued,” but nothing arrived?
Call the New Jersey Division of Taxation Customer Service Center at 609-292-6400 if you don’t receive the check within 30 days of the issue date.
What if you received a notice about your refund?
Respond through the New Jersey Online Notice Response Service (NJ ONRS) in order to send exactly what the notice asks for.
