Until the IRS begins to process your
return, they will not show any info on their site. Many different
factors can affect the timing of your refund after they
receive your return. Even though they issue most refunds in less than 21
days, it’s possible your refund may take longer.
Where's My Refund? tool includes a tracker that displays
progress through 3 stages: (1) Return Received, (2) Refund Approved,
and (3) Refund Sent.
Where's My Refund?
provides an actual
personalized refund date as soon as the IRS processes your tax return
and approves your refund. It doesn't show information about amended
returns.
