You can always check the status of your refund using “Where’s My Refund?” at IRS.gov or the IRS2Go mobile app. “Where’s My Refund?” is updated no more than once every 24 hours, usually overnight.
If one of these apps indicates the IRS issued your refund, but you haven’t received it, your refund may have been lost, stolen, or misplaced.
If this is the case, you can ask the IRS to do a refund trace. This is the process the IRS uses to track a lost, stolen, or misplaced refund check or to verify a financial institution received a direct deposit.
