Once
the IRS begins to process your
return, it can take up to 21
days to fully process and issue your refund. Many different
factors can affect the timing of your refund after they
receive your return. Use the following information to follow the status
of your
return with the IRS.
Once they start processing your return, the 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. It doesn't show information about amended
returns.
There are delays this year in
general. Keep checking the IRS website for status
on your refund. They will eventually update your information and show
you which stage you are in along with a refund date. 21 days after the
IRS marks your return as received, you can call the IRS at
1-800-829-1040. Hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
Hope this helps!
