To find the status of your state tax refund, you should visit your specific state's taxation or revenue department website, as each state provides its own tool or service for checking refunds. Generally, you will need your Social Security number, filing status, and the exact refund amount to check your refund status online. Here are general steps and resources:

• Use your state's official tax department website to find a "Where's My Refund?" or similar tool. For example, California, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Colorado, and Georgia all have dedicated online services to check refund status

• For federal and state tax refunds combined, the IRS offers the "Where's My Refund?" tool for federal refunds, and you can contact your state's taxation department separately for state refunds

• If you filed electronically, refunds typically take less time (e.g., up to 3 weeks in California), while paper returns may take longer (up to 3 months or more depending on the state)

• If your refund check was mailed but not received, some states provide instructions to request a reissue or track the mailed check

• If you want to confirm your tax return was received (not just the refund status), you can also check with your state's revenue department or the IRS online account

In summary, to check "Where are my state taxes?" meaning your state tax refund status, go to your state's tax department website and use their refund status tool with your personal information ready. If you specify your state, I can provide a direct link or more tailored instructions.
