Where's my tax refund?
You can check the status of your tax return using the "Where's My Refund?" tool on the official website of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This tool is available on the IRS website and is updated daily.
To use this tool, you will need to provide some basic information, including your Social Security number, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund as shown on your tax return. Once you enter this information, the tool will provide you with the status of your refund, including whether it has been received, processed, or approved. It will also provide an expected date for your refund to be issued if it has been approved.
If you filed your tax return electronically, you can usually check the status of your refund within 24 hours of filing. If you filed a paper tax return, it may take up to four weeks before the status of your refund is available in the system.
It's important to note that the "Where's My Refund?" tool is only available for taxpayers who have filed their tax return within the last 12 months. If you filed your tax return more than 12 months ago, you will need to contact the IRS directly to check the status of your refund.
