Both ATX and Tax Wise are working diligently to finalize these forms. ATX will make these forms available as quickly as possible after the approval process is completed.

Refunds will be issued after the return has been reviewed for accuracy.

The City of Kansas City (Missouri) does not plan to institute any significant changes for the 2016 tax year with respect to their processing of refunds.

For individual filers, refunds will be worked on a first-in, first- out approach.

The following list will be updated as new information is received, but please consult the forms and e-file availability calendars noted in the ATX and Tax Wise blog postings.

With paper filed returns, taxpayers should receive their refunds within 12 weeks.

Refunds will be distributed both electronically and via paper checks.

Refunds are expected to be released beginning March 1, and then staggered in two-week or one month intervals thereafter.

Certain refunds, such as those that fit specific suspicion criteria and fall within certain dollar thresholds, will be redirected from direct deposit to paper check.
