DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- A Revenue Department administrator says state budget cuts are causing delays in processing some tax refunds.

Due to budget cuts, Stuart Vos says his agency hasn't been able to hire dozens of temporary workers to handle an influx of mailed-in paper returns in late April. The agency has brought in help from other areas but still has been delayed in processing 2009 returns that were mailed in.

Vos estimated that about 75 percent of returns have been filed electronically. People filing electronically received refunds
within a couple weeks, but people who mailed in returns may not get refunds until late June.
