@Dominica313 The IRS asks you wait 4 weeks after you mail your return before looking up your refund at Where's My Refund?. You would not know when the IRS receives your tax return by mail unless you used a return confirmation service when mailing them.
To check your refund status on the Where's My Refund? site, you will need your social security number, filing status, and refund amount in order to track your refund. Be sure to enter only the Federal Refund amount and not the total amount that includes the State refund. The amount to enter is on your Federal form 1040, line 21a.
If you paid any fees out of your Federal refund, use the refund figure prior to the deduction of the fees.
