How will I know you’re processing
my tax return?
Where’s My Refund? follows your tax return from receipt to completion. It
will tell you when your return is in received status and if your refund is in
approved or sent status.
What is happening when

shows
my tax return status as received?
We have your tax return and are processing it.
What is happening when
Where’s My Refund?
shows
my refund’s status as approved?
We’ve approved your refund. We are preparing to send your refund to your bank
or directly to you in the mail. This status will tell you when we will send the
refund to your bank (if you selected the direct deposit option). Please wait 5
days after we’ve sent the refund to check with your bank about your refund,
since banks vary in how and when they credit funds. (It could take several
weeks before you receive a mailed refund check.)
How long will it take for my
status to change from return received to refund approved?
Sometimes a few days, but it could take longer.

will display instructions or an explanation of what we are doing.

often?
Once per day, usually at night. There’s no need to check more often.
