The IRS is the only source of information about your return and refund. Just keep checking the Where's My Refund tool on the IRS website. Keep in mind it is only updated once a day, usually overnight, so you don't have to check several times a day.
You can try contacting the IRS about your refund, but they are extremely busy this time of year. To contact the IRS, please review the steps and information below:
