IRS Refund Tracker

stark13 — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 01:44:13 GMT

when i go to the irs site to check refund status, it asks for return year, social, filing joint/single/HoH etc and it asks to enter the dollar amount of your refund. what do we put there if we owe? line 35a is blank for me. when i try to put zero, i get an error saying it needs to be a positive number. i’ve tried the amount owed and it also gives me an error message since i can’t put ‘-‘.

If you owe tax due, you are not going to see any information on that site. The Where's My Refund site is only for information if you are getting a refund. Why are you trying to use that site?

If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2025.

If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment. For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.

If you have a balance owed, you will have to make payment to the IRS. Therefore, you do not have a refund and there is nothing to track. Line 35a is the amount of any refund. If you have a balance due, you will not have anything on 35a. Do you have a dollar amount on line 37 of Form 1040? If so, this is your balance due to the IRS. If you elected direct debit, they will take payment on the date you chose.
