After you file

If it has been more than 21 days since you filed your return, you can contact the IRS directly at 833-553-9895 to check its status.

 

Note that your refund may be delayed due to any of the following reasons:

  • Common mistakes: Forgetting to sign your return or making a math error.
  • Claiming certain credits:
    • Earned Income Credit: By law, refunds that include this credit are held until mid-February to prevent fraud.
    • Additional Child Tax Credit: This credit is complex and requires extra review time.
  • Filing an amended return: The IRS must review and compare both the original and amended returns.

Requesting injured spouse relief: This requires manual processing by the IRS.
