The Department of Revenue works hard to ensure we process everyone’s return as securely and quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, it can take up to 90 days to issue your refund and we may need to ask you to verify your return.

We encourage all Montanans to file early and electronically. This is the easiest and most secure way to file and get your refund as quickly as possible.

Remember, we are here to help. Please contact us if you need additional assistance.

Where's My Refund?

Check the status of your refund in the TransAction Portal (TAP)

Are you working remotely in Montana?: You must pay Montana state income tax on any wages received for work performed while in Montana, even if your job is normally based in another state.; Learn more about Montana Residency or see the Nonresident/Part-Year Resident Ratio Schedule instructions in the Montana Individual income Tax Return (Form 2) Instruction Booklet for more information.
