After you file

As stated above, the most up-to-date information on your refund can be found on the IRS website Where's My Refund. You'll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and the exact amount of your refund to check your status. If it's been more than 21 days since your e-filed 2021 return was accepted, you can call the IRS directly to check on your refund status. The IRS contact number is 800-829-1040 and they are open Monday - Friday, 7 am to 7 pm (local time).

 

Please keep in mind that it's taking the IRS more than 21 days (and up to 90 to 120 days) to issue refunds for tax returns with the Recovery Rebate Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit, and Additional Child Tax Credit.
