After you file
Are you trying to check your e-file status of your tax return? If so, you can check it here. Also, when you e-file your tax return, your status will either be pending, rejected, or accepted.
- Pending simply means that your e-filed return is on its way and that the government hasn't accepted or rejected the tax return.
- Rejected means the IRS received your tax return, but return it because there are some errors that need fixing before the IRS can accept and process it.
- Accepted means your return was received and the initial inspection (for example, the date of birth matched,social security numbers matched, dependents haven't been claim, etc) was passed. After the intitial inspection, the IRS will then do a deeper inspection. During this acceptance phase, your tax return is on IRS timetable. So, there is no way of knowing exactly when IRS will finish processing your return, but you can always track your refund on the IRS website here. You will not see your refund expected date, on the IRS website, until after IRS approves the refund. If it is approved and there are no issues with your refund, IRS will update your status, and they will give you an estimated refund date. For most taxpayers, (9 out of 10), the refund process takes approximately 21 days.
