Refunds now have a deadline — the authority's, not yours

Historically, refund claims went into a drawer. The NTAA 2025 changed the posture: refunds are decided within a defined statutory window after a claim is verified, with payment or offset against other liabilities.

The practical playbook: file accurately (errors restart clocks), attach the evidence up front, and track the claim's stages — submitted, received, approved, processing, paid.

That's exactly the pipeline the HopperTax Refund Tracker mirrors. When a stage stalls beyond the statutory window, we surface it and draft the follow-up letter for you.
