FRANKFORT, Ky. – Because of enhanced security features and fraud analysis tools, the Kentucky Department of Revenue is estimating that refunds may take a bit longer to process this year – up to 21 days for electronic filers if their return is error free.
“While electronic filing is the fastest way to get refunds, the department wants Kentucky taxpayers to be aware that refunds may not be processed as quickly as in the past,” said Dan Bork, commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Revenue.
“We have strong internal controls and we have implemented some new fraud detection processes, which protect both the taxpayer and the commonwealth of Kentucky from fraudsters,” Bork said in a press release.
In late January the department began accepting electronically filed tax returns and anticipates that most taxpayers will continue to file electronically. Electronic filing for individuals topped 85 percent last year.
