After you file

If your return  "Accepted" within 24 hours you can start tracking your refund on the IRS  Where’s My Federal Refund? site.

 

Where’s My Refund? has a tracker that displays progress through 3 stages: (1) Return Accepted Received, (2) Refund Approved and (3) Refund Sent.

 

The IRS issues most refunds in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review.

Now if you claimed "Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC)" you may experience a refund hold. The IRS usually begins issuing tax refunds on returns with the EIC or Additional Child Tax Credit in late February.

Some 2019 federal refunds are delayed due to the PATH Act
