Paper-filed returns typically take much longer, around 10 to 12 weeks. It can take at least three weeks to process your refund for electronic filings and up to 12 weeks for paper filings. Your bank may also take up to seven days to deposit your refund once processed. To check your Indiana tax refund status online, you can visit the Indiana Department of Revenue's official refund status page. You will need to enter your Social Security number, the exact refund amount (whole dollars), and the tax year.
