After you file

If you are anxiously awaiting your refund check to arrive or have it deposited into your checking account, there’s no reason for it to remain a mystery. The IRS has an online tool called “Where’s My Refund?” that allows you to check the status of your refund. After providing some personal information, you can find out when it will arrive.

TurboTax also has a Where's My Refund Tracking guide that explains each step of the efiling process and how to check the status of your federal tax refund.

 

Wait at least three days after e-filing your tax return before checking a refund status. When you e-file your tax return to the IRS, it needs approximately three days to update your information on the website.

If you e-filed your tax return using TurboTax, you can check your e-file status online, to ensure it was accepted by the IRS. You'll also receive an e-mail confirmation directly from the IRS.

However, if you mail a paper copy of your tax return, the IRS recommends that you wait three weeks before you begin checking your refund status. Most taxpayers who e-file will receive their tax refund sooner.
