BALTIMORE — Tens of thousands of people have already filed their taxes in Maryland, but many of them are still waiting on their tax refunds.
For some, it’s been weeks since they filed their taxes and still no refund.
The Maryland Office of the Comptroller said the launching of their new online tax portal had a big hand in the delay.
Sunny, who declined to give her last name, usually only waits a week, at most, for her state tax refund. But this year, she’s waited 16 days so far.
The worst part is she doesn’t know when she’ll get it.
“I just moved into a new place and I wanted to get things for my kids, wanted to get caught up on bills, put food in the house,” Sunny said. “Food is very expensive right now.”
She soon realized she wasn’t the only one missing her refund, saying she’s heard from friends, family and neighbors who haven’t gotten theirs either.
“I’m just like, oh my God, it’s not just me,” Sunny said.
