Be grateful. If they did pay interest, then they will tax the interest paid as income. I know, 'cuz it took the IRS longer than allowed by law to give my amended return last year a once over. They apologized for taking so long, and paid me interest. Then I get a letter about a week later stating the interest was considered income, so they (and the state) want to tax it.
