We are unable to review your tax return to make sure everything is right. However, here is some information on the "Refund Process" to assist you in understanding the status of your refund.
You can review the status of your refund by following
the information in this Refund Process
- Start checking status
24 – 48 hours after e-file – Once you have e-filed your tax
return, you can check status using IRS Where’s My
Refund? You will not be able to start
checking the status of your tax refund for 4 weeks if you mail a paper tax
return.
-
Return Received Notice within 24 –
48 hours after e-file – The IRS Where’s My Refund
tool will show “Return Received” status once they begin processing your
tax return. You will not see a refund date until the IRS finishes
processing your tax return and approves your tax refund.
-
Status change from “Return Received” to “Refund
Approved” – Once the IRS finishes processing your
tax return and confirms your tax refund is approved, your status will
change from “Return Received” to “Refund Approved”. Sometimes the change
in status can take a few days, but it could take longer and a date will
not be provided in Where’s My Refund? until your tax return is processed
and your tax refund is approved.
-
Where’s My Refund? tool shows refund date –
The IRS will provide a personalized refund date once your status moves to
“Refund Approved”. The IRS issues 9 out of 10 refunds within 21 days of
acceptance if you e-file with direct deposit.
-
Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent” –
If the status in Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent”, the IRS has sent
your tax refund to your financial institution for direct deposit. It can
take 1 to 5 days for your financial institution to deposit funds into your
account. If you requested that your tax refund be mailed, it could take
several weeks for your check to arrive.
