Any recourse if MD is taking an insanely long time to give me my tax refund?

This is for my business return, not my personal return. I filed just before the March 15 deadline but then had to submit an amended return in the first week of April.
It has now been close to eight months, and Maryland won’t even give me a decision on whether they are disputing anything. They have not also not given me my refund, which should be about $7,000. They previously said that I owed money on the personal side, but when I filed a formal appeal, they looked at it more closely and realized that I didn’t actually owe money. Now, for my business, they won’t even tell me if they dispute anything in my tax return. They just say, “We’re still working on it.” This is really starting to irritate me. I’m going to write my fourth quarterly check for 2024 this weekend, and they still haven’t given me my 2023 refund. Do we have any recourse when the State engages in this type of nonsense? |

| Go to constituent services of your state senator/representative. This is what I did when I could not get a federal return processed. |

Not that I know of.
A few years ago, the IRS owed me over 30k. It took four years before I received the refund. Now I’m more careful to not over-withhold. |

Had about the same situation. This happened a lot for returns filed during Covid years. |

| Why are you taking a refund for 2023 if you owe quarterlies for 2024? You just apply the refund to 2024. |

How do you do that? |

You have to indicate that you want to apply any refund toward future tax liability when you file. If you have already filed, too late. |

| Send them an email and request to have it applied and request they drop any penalties because tell them you expected to use your return to pay. Be nice, goes a long way |

| I filed in june after getting extension and still haven't received my refund(over 9k) On the website it says "received and being processed" for at least 3 months already. It's never taken this long before. |

| Reduce the next quarterly by $7K (assuming you think your quarterliesnare accurate), and then pay anything you owe when you file. |
