After you file

The IRS officially began accepting and processing tax returns on January 28th. A few returns were accepted before January 28th for testing purposes only but was not processed until January 28th. If your return was accepted less than 21 days ago, it can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to update. As your return moves through the system, the status of it will be updated accordingly. The IRS is currently processing and refunding returns as fast as they can.

To track your Federal refund, visit the Where’s My Federal Refund? site here: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

You can begin checking at least 24 hours after e-filing or 4 weeks after mailing. Updates are made daily, usually overnight. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status.
