For the most up to date information on your refund, you can track your federal refund here: Where's My Refund? which provides your current status for your tax refund. You may also download the IRS2Go app to check your Federal refund status. For your state refund, please go here - How do I track my state refund?

Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.

Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:

Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval > Refund.

For some taxpayers, PATH Act requirements and other identity-protection safeguards implemented by the IRS may account for longer wait times. (Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC) and/or Additional Child Tax Credit)

Other things that can delay your refund include but are not limited to:

Liens, back taxes, or refund offsets;
Errors, inconsistencies, or missing information;
Identity fraud;
Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation, which can take 11-14 weeks to process.

Once the Where's My Refund? site shows your refund was sent, if you requested a paper check, it can take approximately 3-5 days to receive it in the mail.

If you are concerned you can contact the IRS directly: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

When calling the IRS do not choose the first option re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

So after first choosing your language, then do not choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for "personal income tax" instead.

Press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".

Press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."

- When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don’t enter anything.

- After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.

It should then transfer you to an agent.
