Until the IRS starts processing your tax return there may not be a record of it or the website may say that you have put in incorrect information when tracking your federal refund. You need to wait at least 24 hours after transmitting your tax return. As your return moves through the system, the status of it will be updated accordingly. Continue checking the Where’s My Federal Refund? tool for updates. Updates are made daily, usually overnight. Also, you will need to know the exact amount of your tax return refund, your tax return filing status, and your Social Security number for the IRS when you visit the IRS website.
