One of the hardest parts about doing your taxes? Waiting for that tax refund to hit your bank account. If you’re expecting a tax refund this year, here’s how you can check your tax refund status.
There are two different ways to easily track the status of your refund.
• Where’s My Refund? (https://www.irs.gov/refunds) – This is the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) official online tool for tracking the status of your refund.
• IRS2Go mobile app – This IRS app makes it easy to check the status of your refund. For all methods listed above, taxpayers must input their Social Security number, filing status, and exact refund amount.
How quickly you can track the status of your refund depends on how you filed your individual income tax return this year:
• E-filers can typically check their refund status within 24 hours after e-filing their return.
• Paper filers need to wait four weeks after mailing their return before they can view their refund status online or on the IRS mobile app.
There are three possible stages when checking on your refund status:
• Return Received
• Refund Approved
• Refund Sent
In some cases, if there is an issue with your return, the Where’s My Refund tool may direct you to call the IRS for more information.
How long it takes to receive your refund also varies depending on how you filed your tax return:
• E-filers should wait up to 21 days for their refund to be issued.
• Paper filers should expect to wait 6 weeks or more for returns sent by mail.
