Lots and lots of things. First of all, just to be nasty to them first...the State systems have been known to, shall we say, screw up? Also, many States are intentionally delaying things because they "need the money". But, more often than not, it is simply that something in the return was screwed up...adddition, missing cell or format, and it got kicked out of speedy automatic processing to hand. Then various other "red flags" they may want to look at. People seem to think processing is automatic and quicker than it is...under the best of circumstances, figure it takes 4-6 weeks, with electronic deposit...more if you wait for a check. From when processing starts, not when you mail it. The info they match too, from employers and such, isn't received or has a problem. THEN OF COURSE, IF YOU OWE THE GOVERNMENT (State or Feds), ANYTHING FOR ANY REASON...(child support, other taxes, student loans, etc. etc). THE GOVERNMENTS WILL NOT PAY ANY BODY OR COMPANY THAT OWES THEM, AND WILL OFFSET ALL OR PART OF ANY PAYMENT INCLUDING TAXES.

Can the state hold your federal income tax if you owe money to unenployment?

Not usally, but however if the state has requested that your Federal refund be used to offset your debt it can be done. Not often does this happen. The state will certainly use your state refund to pay the debt if the unemployment agency has request they do so. If you are still unsure and want to find out for sure call FMS at 1-800-304-3107, caution if they do not have you in their system to hold part of your refund... by calling them it will expedit the process.
