Couldn’t the federal government send it directly?
Residents eager to get their state tax refunds may have a long wait this year: The recession has tied up cash and caused officials in half a dozen states to consider freezing refunds, in one case for as long as five months.
States from New York to Hawaii that have been hard-hit by the economic downturn say they have either delayed refunds or are considering doing so because of budget shortfalls.

HAHAHAHA, you think so??
If you could get rid of interstate tax, shipping tax, Property tax, Utility taxes(they pay tax, and corps pass it to you) and allot of others you would be paying about <$0.50 per can of soup and $0.30 for tomato. Your meat prices would average $2 per pound, NOT $3-4.. your GAS for your car would be about $0.70 less.
ALL your tax is hidden, in the goods you buy.
#14 “In my state you can check a box on your return to apply your refund to your next years taxes. Check that and then adjust your withholding.”
I got my state check within 3 days of filing. If my state pulled this BS, I would apply my refund to next year’s taxes and crank down my withholding.
When I had an internship in California, I cranked down state withholding a lot since I was only getting paid in that state for 4 months.
