Which refund might you be looking for?
A federal income tax refund
Living in New Hampshire does not change the fact that federal income tax is handled by the IRS. Use the federal return amount and IRS tracker—not a state tax website.
A refund from another state
You may have filed in another state because you lived there for part of the year or earned income there. Track that return with the state where it was filed.
A property-tax adjustment
Property tax is often handled by a county, municipality, assessor, or tax collector. A local rebate or overpayment will not normally appear in an individual income tax tracker.
A business or sales-tax refund
Businesses can have separate sales, use, payroll, excise, or franchise tax accounts. Use the business-tax service provided by New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration.
If you earned income in another state
A New Hampshire home address does not by itself eliminate filing obligations elsewhere. Working across state lines, moving during the year, receiving rental income from property in another state, or operating a business elsewhere may require a nonresident or part-year return.
Use the rules of the state connected to that income and keep the state return separate from your federal return. Reciprocity agreements and remote-work rules can change the result, so consult the relevant state agency or a qualified tax professional when more than one state is involved.
Before contacting the tax agency
Identify the type of tax, tax year, form filed, payment amount, and agency shown on any notice. That prevents a call about a federal or local payment from being routed to the wrong office. Call New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration at 603-230-5000 for the state taxes it administers; contact the IRS for federal income tax and the appropriate local office for property tax.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not search for a New Hampshire individual income tax tracker. There is no standard resident return of that kind to track.
- Do not enter a federal refund amount into a state business-tax portal. Federal refunds are tracked only through the IRS.
- Do not assume that “no income tax” means no filing anywhere. Federal, another-state, local, or business obligations can still apply.
- Do not trust an unexpected refund message. A text or email asking for an SSN, bank information, or fee may be a phishing attempt. Navigate to the agency independently.
