HRS §236D-13
Getting a refund if you paid too much tax
If you paid more tax than you owed, the state will refund the extra amount plus interest. You must ask for the refund within two years after the federal tax is finally decided. If this section doesn't allow a refund, you can only use the appeal process or another specific law.
The statute, as written — Refund for overpayment
Whenever the tax due under this chapter is proved to have been overpaid, the department shall refund the amount of the overpayment, together with interest at the then existing statutory rate of interest in the manner provided in section 231-23(c). No claim for refund may be initiated more than two years after the date the federal tax has been finally determined. As to all tax payments for which a refund or credit is not authorized by this section (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, cases of unconstitutionality), the remedies provided by appeal or by section 40-35 are exclusive.
