What can slow down my Utah refund?

Utah cannot issue a refund before March 1 unless it has received both your return and your employer's required return.

A paper return is opened, sorted, examined and processed by hand, and the refund waits until it is posted to your account. Fixing even a simple mistake adds several more weeks.
If Utah sends you an Identity Protection Verification letter, you get no refund until you pass its online quiz or send the documents it asks for.
Utah cannot send money outside the United States, so a refund to a foreign account comes as a check.
Your refund may be applied to any federal or state debt you owe.
