If you e-filed, start by checking
your e-file status.
Once you've received confirmation your federal return has been accepted,
you'll be able to start tracking your refund at the IRS Where's
My Refund? site.
Where's My Refund?
tool includes a tracker that displays progress through 3 stages: (1)
Return Received, (2) Refund Approved, and (3) Refund Sent. It
also provides an actual personalized refund date as soon as the IRS
processes your tax return and approves your refund.
