After you file

@meganml11, if the IRS accepted your return and you are checking the status by using the  Where's My Refund? site, that is only updated once a day and it takes up to 24 hours for the IRS to post it, so that means it could take almost 2 days before the IRS will report that they have it. You would just need to continue checking the status using the Where's My Refund? site.

 

The IRS issues most refunds from e-filed returns in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review. If it's been longer than 21 days since you e-filed and you still have not received your refund you would need to reach back out to the IRS again.
