The IRS makes it easy to stay informed with their “Where’s My Refund?” tool. It’s a fast, secure, and convenient way to check your refund status without calling the IRS.
How It Works:
To track your refund, enter:
Your Social Security Number
Your filing status
The exact refund amount from your tax return
Your refund status will appear around:
24 hours after you e-file a current-year return
3 or 4 days after you e-file a prior-year return
4 weeks after you file a paper return
You can check your status anytime on the IRS website or through the IRS2Go mobile app. This gives you real-time updates and peace of mind while you wait.
