Where's My Refund

Check Your Refund Status Online in English or Spanish

Where's My Refund? - One of IRS's most popular online features-gives you information about your federal income tax refund. The tool tracks your refund's progress through 3 stages:

  1. Return Received

  2. Refund Approved

  3. Refund Sent

You get personalized refund information based on the processing of your tax return. The tool provides the refund date as soon as the IRS processes your tax return and approves your refund.

It's Fast! -  You can start checking on the status of your return sooner - within 36 hours after you file your e-filed return or 4 weeks after a mailed paper return.

​

​


Caution: Don't count on getting your refund by a certain date to make major purchases or pay other financial obligations. Even though the IRS issued more than 9 out of 10 refunds to taxpayers in less than 21 days, it's possible your tax return may require more review and take longer. 

Amended Tax Return Link

You can check the status of an amended return around 3 weeks after you submit it. It will take up to 20 weeks to process your return.

Where’s My Amended Return will show your amended return status for this tax year or up to 3 prior years.
